savage was considered most gimped class at SI release, hence they gave cheap tank RAs to em =D

Does weaponskill on a non-pure tank count differently as on a pure-tank? I thought it was the same, that's why hybrids mostly have lower weaponskill.

If there's a difference in weaponskill as well then they're penalized twice for being a non-pure tank: Lower weaponskill and it's counted differently :/

How important is weaponskill btw? And what does it mean: The lower your weaponskill the better chance the enemy has to evade/block/parry? I always thought it was like that.

last point: I always thought that too, but sanya said ws only affects hits/misses. evade/parry/block is not related to ws at all.

I think ws counts the same, but they are also usually on another dmg-table, so in that way they are double penalized (triple if you count cheap ra's)

So is LA damage and mids call it a nerf. I think a bit of consistency is in order :D

i have to agree that it seems that the defensive skills rise when fighting opponents that are ooe, such as evade/Parry/block. maybe just illusions ;)

nah it was a nerf, vnboard trolls couldent accept the 1000+ one dmg hits, and mythic claimed bug to excuse a nerf. it was just too high growth rate on la styles.

how can you say its bug when they gave LA high growth? it was only a decision from dev team.A bug is something you can abuse to get unfair advantage, la was just good dmg. and i know mythic call it a bug, still dont change anything.

I thought evade/block where related to a fixed percentage (this obtained from base + spec) modified by dex. I'd still like to hope this is partly true or giving dodger to group bards as "some extra defence" is fuckin worthless (low weapon skill=unlikely to evade).

Admittedly it's looking more like what pin said. V's another hybrid (low WS) i'm the dancing butterfly with the evades/blocks.......against tanks more like my feet are glued to the ground.

So tell me. Did mythic fuck up AGAIN ??

About savages losing healt whit chants.. or to be "weaks" and getting killed easy,well it's something it dosen't count really in a rvr group.

As tank you aren't supposed to be a primary target,and if you are, that mean your supports are already dead..and you lost the battle,or worse the group you are fighting it's crap and you have your 3-4 seers able to heal you.
you got a fucking hight ammount of chants but you ll use only the dps and the haste one if you don't have agro on you (or only the dps one if you are h2h and have double haste already).
that it's 7% of your UNBUFFED hits
something of not noticiable..something can be easy fixed during a fight by the spread heals the healers costantly spam.

Hibrid weaponskills?
Crap frontal styles?

you are a tank hitting supports on the back
those things dosen't count really.

h2h>2h

p.s.:an hight miss rate it's nothing when you can hit 1-2-3-4 times every 1.5 secs.

Ooops! I think you just implied that Savages are hybrids and thus should get no tank RAs! Bummer!
So get those slams in, savages weakness is thier hp constantly dripping away,
Click to expand...
Ahh yes. Pity the buffs get taken off base hitpoints and not buffed hitpoints. Another point to fix!

hitpoints isnt realy the answer, 1 spreadheal and it's nullified. you need to reduce quads or remove tank ra:s or smth more nasty.

Yeah... My pet peeve is the tank RAs. Oh, and the ability to spec 2H, I don't think Savages were able to do that in the US beta.

Just to qualify here. A savage can't SPEC 2h afaik. They have to style off thier normal melee line. They do not get a special line with different grow rates like LW.

Btw most mid melee classes can do this, including afaik SB (i never tried holding one but certainly looked useable in the merchant list; white not grayed etc). Just one thing on the huge (and growing thanks to mythic) list of shit that makes the n00bers roll mid4tehwin!!!. ;)

1) it'll be 3 seconds before you're hit, not 0 seconds
2) the chanter can be interrupted
3) the chanter cannot evade
4) the chanter has low hps, crap armour and crap absorb
5) the chanter has no access to determination, IP or cheap purge
6) the chanter can generally be killed before he can get off more than 1 cast

I would have thought the differences were pretty fucking glaringly obvious.
