meaning what Solarius?

ive played the game, tested many characters, done much research

give me a few days and ill have the numerical repost of this ready but atm i have exams + presentations + essays due + its my birthday this week so im not exactly giving it my full attention

as for the LA nerf, from what i gather it is a bit of a bugger for sb's due to the way LA is calculated, hence suggesting the way la is calculated for sb's be changed

edit : might have misread what you said, if so then ignore rant

Sorry, probably not as well written as I'd intended! I meant that the Devs possibly do not play the characters as much as players do, so may not have as broad an understanding as the people who use them, ie yourself.

No insult intended!

okeydoke solarius

greenfingers, if such a style was added i would almost certainly never use it

Nightshades hurt me plenty. Need some luck to get reactionaries off versus them because of swing speed.

What I just don't understand is this 'penalized damage'. I heard it before. What's the penalty on it? Lower damage?

at 50+ spec mainhand and offhand hit for ~75% of normal damage. style bonuses of LA must be higher to compensate for that.

 

[Aeiedil]

basically unstyled damage for LA and CD is the same, however the mainhand damage of la is not 100%, where as it is for CD. also while CD only gets haste effect when it double swings, la gets it every swing so that helps, however overall the main hand does less damage than a cd system, and so the crit strike attacks suffer, especially with low la spec

I agree with what is said, but as I said in an earlier post, NS's need some luve!!!

if not in their styles, then in RA's !

You have the best RA's out of all assassins. Critting DoT-procs anyone? High absorb (this brings additional 18 cons too, on the pricetag)? Sure you need high RR for those but once you got it... Celt Bladeshade with decent amount in CD and high nurture druidbot will be at the top of the foodchain propably (Bad idea Mythic...). There's your NS love.

Ok your anytime-styles look to be pretty crap from Wyrd's data-sheets, but so are the Thrust equivalents, taunt being the best "steady" damage without any chaining mumbo-jumbo.

all stealthers pwn my bard anyways, so give her some luving instead! *_*

inuyasha i have no decent experience playing bards other than some various level ones on gorre/lothain so i can explore new areas more easily hence why im not asking for changes

Doubt you need decent eperience with a bard to figure out that a stealther own one in a 1 vs 1

well actually, tomatera = teh uber he almost killed me the one and only time i dueled him

 

[inuyasha]

Tomatera is not the nextdoor bard =)

Still, only two fight i have seen tomat fighting a ns, he lost quite clearly

And if tomat, beeing half battlegimp, cant take then, then surely i cant!
