Its not bullshit kagato .... Its obvious you are an offensive Armsman < Caster killer, if u can > and the others are defensive Arsmmen,
Thats pretty much what I said, no character is obligated to be defensive just because some other people have there own little visions of what a characters role is (just check out the smite cleric whine threads for examples).
even if u are an offensive armsman having slam is awesome
Fine if you want to mess about switching from 1 weapon and a shield to a polearm back to 1 weapon and a shield again, 3 extra quickbar button presses mid-combat, you do that, but im not interested in it, RvR is hectic enough as it is.
how many times has the caster run away from you ? or u miss a style as he is moving?
Erm Crippling Blow ? medium damage and movement reduction, Defenders Revenge long duration stun....Come on its not that hard to get round these things, the day DAoC melee combat revolves around one bloody shield style is the day I quit the game.
9 sec castable stun
Detirmination works on castable stuns I believe as well.
get 2 free shots
You'd need 11 seconds to get 2 free shots of with a good polearm.
Don't get me wrong - Slam is absolutely superb, a 9 second stun is just plain evil.
And still people seem to forget the LONG duration stun on Defenders Revenge....
My point is, play your characters how you want to play them, this is my spec, im max offensive and can't be touched for damage, and will freely admit my defense suffers accordingly, but I group with a full rej cleric so im free to shrug of the blows and smash through for best effect. In melee we need damage dealers as well as takers, and I still do the guarding if needed but in my experiance im best suited naturally to taking down the enemy fast which im good at. If that play style doesn't suite you then by all means hide behind your shields, there your characters you can do what you like with them, but I wont be told what my 'duty' is and how I should play and nor would I tell anyone else how to play theres. People know there own characters best and can decide for themselves.
