I've been away from DAOC for a few weeks. I logged on last night for the first time since the patch, buffed up as usual and went out into rvr land with the armsman, expecting the usual biff-baff-boff /release - when to my great surprise I won! Must be a fluke I told myself, moved on, and won again. :eek2:
OK maybe they wern't level 50 or something - moved on, out battled a ranger (although he cunning ran off before getting his guts sliced open), out melee'd a skald and so on etc. etc. throughout the evening.
Somethings clearly changed in this patch - analysis of the logs seemed to suggest my parry has gone sky high (its 31+13), particularly against DW opponents. Now I saw in the patch notes blocking got tweaked to avoid the near 100% with high dex and high block / mastery of block, but I didn't see anything about parrying changing. The general concensus in guild from the other melee characters was that yes - parrying does seem to have increased this patch.
It may be that there are lower rr chars walking about (I can never remember what name is associated with what rr - so can't remember if I just happened to come across low rr people all night), possibly doing the rvr missions, but has anyone else noticed an increase in parry rate this patch?
