opened my account to see whats changed. Logged my priest on and didnt have a clue what to do lol. He was 1 of the first lvl 80s on the server as I did 70-80 in a day or 2 at the huge camp in khesenta. I quit just after they fixed it ;P

Think i might have a spin on the pvp server, any1 know what its like?

I remembered why i never played a tank at release. Its a melee game but it makes you so gimped in a fight verus a casting class. I havent come across a stick command yet, but perhaps there is one. When you are chasing the enemy, and want to style, it slows you right down so you miss, and the gap between you and the person increases. Its just impossible to follow them and do damage, so in theory they could kite you all night. Its quite silly really and a shame I think. Saying this though, ive only got upto lvl 15 and done pvp on white sands. So maybe there are snares and stuff later on.
I like the melee system in PVE although i just dont see it working in PVP.

they nerfed kiting as a caster somewhat.

nowadays they can't use end pots to regen endurance to sprint with.

still somewhat of a bitch for a melee class but sooner rather then later the caster will have to stop running and face you.

all melee classes also have a charge ability now, either from feats or from leveling up that roots the target for ~3 seconds.

they also reduced the overall melee protection of casters and health regeneration potion values for everyone.

so at the moment the only class that can still effectively kite is the necromancer, and those pets isnt as good at surviving as they once were, so killing them first isnt a guaranteed suicide anymore.


but still, having to spend 3 seconds just to get off a melee style still hurts to much in pvp.

It just makes the big 3-4 combo styles a waste. As if you get the chance to get them off in a fight. I use my mouse to press the combos for me, and theres still no chance that will happen ;p

About those combos, they don't exist anymore. Max you get is 3 now (combo starter + 2 directionals).

I have a lvl80 barb on Fury but I havent in about a year. My missus has an 80 ToS and HoX on the same account and server. Was thinking of lvling up a DT on Crom PVE Serverto see what the game is like now as I have heard really good reports in the last few months. Anyone here still playing?
