I still remember his deathspam at bledmeer when he got back, unsure if he had lvl'd to 50 by then, think he was 47 or something before that.

Not hard to be a good stealther on alb since they play in easy mode

 

[Derric]

Everything was easy mode in the good old days when all your favourite little godlike stealthers ran around and oneshotted people and stayed hidden,when Lifebane ticked for 90 dmg,when See Hidden wasn't in the game,when having a weapon with 30% bonus was great etc etc.

First few times i fought Araudry i taught he was the best infil about, but its bullshit, ive copped on now. The guy is perfectly Buffed, specced and SC'ed to kill shadowblades, regardless what you do, he will win, its not skill

If sb's weren't so focused on tying to kill everything and pwn all and if they didn't rely so much on their precious LA, maybe they would be more like infs..

alb or not, you must be objective to the point that you admit, that the potential of sb's and infils cant even be compared!
A sb basically have to land PA to stand a chance against an equal rr infil, and even if he does, he can still lose due to stlong use of vanish i.e. Infils have the upper hand in styles,chose between slash/thrust, spec points, ra's.. basically everything.. Sb have slighly more hp, that's it..
And dont give me the crap about 'free 2h', that's basically worthless.. No one in their right mind cant deny that sbs are the clearly most gimped assasin class at the moment..

With all due respect Muh, I know you are a good SB. But you also know that we can't go back to the times that, SB's just busted out of stealth to LA somebody to death without using any form of stealth attacks... and about ra's you know that Mythic is know for fixing things with the wrong things... I agree with you on the fact that the weapon selection is rather poor for SB's tho.. but I think that is why you have that 2handed ability... trust me 2handed pa hurts..

They way I see it, 2 simple things can bring sbs up to par with the other assasins.
1. Abilty to chose between slash/thrust.
2. Off evade stun style in on of the weapon lines (6-9 sec)

That would allow us to spec weapon high, and keep LA on around 20, and with some DR modifyer that should be pretty decent.

But as you say "SB's just bused out of stealth to LA somebody to death" .. that's exactly what infils do now..

And as for the small advantage 2h PA gives, it will be smaller in coming patches, when infils get access to slower weapons..
one step in the wrong direction imo..

true, there never been any skilled stealthers... CUZ IT DOESNT REQUIRE ANY SKILL!!!

you are either able to play one or you are a noob, and this game has a endless supply of them (stealthers at least )

i remember fighting with sinister 1 on 1, both buffbotted, ramming our styles, hoping to evade and hit as much as possible (something we have no control of either)... such skill

i remember fighting other hunters with my scout, it took some of them 5 seconds to change from bow to spear!!!! "uhhh on which qbar button was that thing again", you call people who can press the right button instantly skilled? hmmm wow...

thats how i got bored of playing my stealthers, its like playing in a casino, you've gotta know your odds before you roll, but the dice will decide the outcome...

I beat him in straight melee with my sb no cs openers from either of us, and he was fully buffed I had level 32 buffbot buffs.

Face it, this game requires no skill...
All it takes is time

almost forgot...
also requires huge amounts of alcohol uke:

2h PA may well hurt but the liklihood of landing a Creeping Death after it (with 2h) is small when ur up against infils and anything with a shield. Sure u can switch to duel weps but u still get the same delay. The only good time to use a 2h is against a caster but tbh u could probably finish them off with duel weps just as quick if not quicker. 2h really is not a big advantage.

 

[taobitzz]

I use 2 hander after I pa/cd or bs with 1 handers, works well for me. Yes sb are gimped compared to inf/ns now in many ways ra's/armour tables/styles/buffbots etc etc but hopefully the style review will improve things a bit.

Hmm there are still a few sb's that do this. Szakal springs to mind .. Cylian too (though he actually tries a PA first). Both out damage my inf in melee quite badly (though admittedly they are both a high RR).

Pure crit spec blades are a bit of a joke I have to admit. They dont land PA and they lose. My inf has 50CS but I can still win a fight without it though its alot more of a struggle. Seen a few SB's that just use a 2H .. even in melee and thats great for me. Swing once for every 2 of mine and cant hit shit

The main problem with infs is because of the amount of spec points pretty much any spec you go for is viable. As a SB this isn't true and alot of SB's whinge and whinge and whinge some more that theyre crap. Fact of the matter is they just dont have the right spec since the patch, a decent SB will still rape my inf if I dont get a PA or a DF in ;o

Anyway its not like sb's cant get rps. They only come in packs of 4 or more these days, can drop half a group (Muh and Zil being excempt from that as I do actually meet them solo )
