Some don't spec slam, so some don' have the 9sec stun.

Zephyr has had its timer upped to 15 minutes in a distant patch.

IP has less value in NF compared to OF imo.

Bow dmg, well mixture of relics and ToA.

For those that need to group with all the toys a scout has atm, shame on them imo, they suck at playing a rogue.

PS You forgot to mention the high melee dmg when speced for :x

Some don't spec bow either, prolly as numerous as the bunch who don't spec slam.

Spot-the-sarcasm :|

Well you spec for what you get,

spec melee, expect to do nice hits.
spec bow, expect to do nice hits.
spec shield, expect to block alot.
spec friends, have groupies & adds to aid you in combat.

I'm not gona defend the class, its OP anyspec, then combined with a infils tank dmg, mincers abilities, a trio of dooooooom.

3 months, that's a toughie indeed.

What about waiting for GP to be nerfed for 2+ years? Or insta-ichor? Or savage quad-wielding? or left axe? :p

trust me, 3 months ain't that bad :touch:

So when you throw some stupid shit like that into the equation, should we mention BOF and SOS godlike powers for the same amount of time? This was in reference to the stealthergame, this is not the full group kinda "effected by GP" kinda way.

Giving one archer class the ability to block 90%+ of any arrows fired against them while the two other classes dont have that is seriously bullshit. I dont want carbon copies, but I want comparability, thats all.

(Notice I didnt make one reference to your silly overpowered FOTM class Sollers?)

Scout slam is no big deal really, it's quite easy to deal with. Purge 2 is something handy, or try to phase shift as he comes near, not to mention that they always approach you on a straight line as begging to get zephyred.

Now, look at scouts. If they spec 50bow, 42shield (for slam), 35 stealth, that leaves them with just 18 on weapon. I wouldn't consider that as overpowered really.

if you want scouts to block less, the only real thing you can do is take away there shield spec, that just leaves them with bow, stealth and melee to spec in, then the people who whined about there sick melee dam or uber bow dam will just whine even more

could give them a new spec option tho

I've got a sneaking suspicion that albions stealth classes were purposefully made stronger then the other realms counterparts to try to persuade more of albion into the stealth war instead of open field combat.

Right at the beginning of DAoC it was apparent how much of a numerical advantage albion was getting and time has shown that the majority of people would rather reroll a character in their own realm over that of another realm because of friends, its easy, not having to transfer cash etc. So what better way to make more of the numerically advantaged realm to have less of an effect on RvR, then to make their closest to overpowered character a stealther. Hey, even if the difference is only minimal, every little counts right?

This of course has now gone out of the window though with the game being centered around keep warfare...

God are people still bitching about this game

The stun happens when you block - ok it might happen alot, but still has a proviso. Everybody knew that come NF scouts would be overpowered.

Makes you think people have been thinking up some excellent whines since american open beta for NF, when they first saw hoe much scouts would own.

Where is the love?

Alb stealthers were overpowered without relics so that argument doesnt hold.
