same goes for buffed reavers imo.
with all their easy mode soulrendering spells and a large stun time on after block.

Just because you got pwned so badly
5s baseline stun isn't even 1 extra nuke, root/mezz is about 2-3.
A 6 second anytime stun is ridiculous, I have to spec 18 shield for a 5 seconds off-block stun while Alb tanks get a longer duration stun at a lower level. In the same stylechange where this style became the second in an anytime chain, the 2 seconds duration 18 hammer style (previously second in anytime change) was changed to chain of a sidestyle.
Damage Hib caster gains due to his stun duration is 100'ish, damage an armsman/merc/reaver gains: 200'ish.
/edit: I guess it was all meant to balance out at 50 and probably does though.

Which doesn't make the anytime stun any less overpowered thoughZdeath said:
.One the cabalist-eld debate: I think a cabalist is slightly better than an eldritch. (assuming 13 light, 20 moon and 11 matter, 21 body spec)
Both have ae-disease and 25% nearsight. Cabalist has got a higher damage output (with lifedrain component). Eldritch gets ae dd+snare, which can be useful to deal with an assist-train on the healers, but a cabalist gets a root which is maybe even more effective. Cabalist gets a pet, while the eldritch gets debuffs, I'd rather have the pet
.Eldritch still has the bolt with huge variance and pbaoe which have pretty limited use. Hmm, now I re-read this I think they're pretty even actually

You're fucking joking right?
What can an Eld do? Nearsight? Stun? Nuke?
Many a times I have squished your liddle Eld? Why?
I can nearsight, yes you can too. I have a pet that can either stun/nuke/lifetap or disease. I can AE DoT you, I have baseline and spec lifetaps, I have disease, I have str and dex debuffs, I have....
Pfft
Elkie said:Dori i would like proff that u have killed my eld i dont die to casters
Lol I was in the heat of the moment there. I've never really fought your Eld 1 vs 1 but some goes for me really not many casters (apart from those BDs) stand much of a chance if I am buffed.
I RvR in Thidranki because I can't be bothered with a) the level grind to 50, b) the ML grind, c) the template boredom, d) a bot and e) starting out with a large RR handicap.
Does that mean that I shouldn't take that RvR serious or think about groupsetups? Some of the "e-peen battles" going on here lately are rather silly though, but that happens in 'real' RvR as well.

Vladamir said:Thid rvr is so hardcore
I'd much rather play Thid than 50 rvr where the winner of the fight is determined by who dumps the most RA's/ML's.
Leet skills needed for that...
GrafenburgMerc said:
You can't compare the two.
RvR as you correctly pointed out is in a way unbalanced because of the ML's/RA's etc.
Then you look at Thid, first major BG. You get people running round in /level items expecting a challenger which they can be evenly matched to...
Wrong?!
They end up rebuffing every few seconds because some Nightshade/BM/Runemaster, or whatever you have comes and 1 shots you with their uber Items and capping SC.

I agree with you zdeath that there there is a lack of balance in thid as there is in 50 rvr althouth the reasons for the balance issues are different.
I also see no reason to run around thid at /level 20 with crap gear. Its easily possible to get half decent gear at a nominal cost and if you have a lvl 50 already you should have the resources to fully twink a toon out in a few hours. To me, this is easily achievable by almost anyone playing daoc today.
I believe someone on VN recently worked out that at the average rp earning rate it takes 6 yr to reach rr10 (and compete with the rr10 + groups out there), sorry but I aint got the time for that.
Bye for now
