Conclusion? Obviously sieges will be a much bigger part of RVR once NF hits our servers and range will be far superior than before.

archers

though im kinda glad i got my runie sorted now

 

[Dorin]

kinda obvious, ranged chars (archers/bolt casters/AE-doters-nukers) and imo assassins will be fine aswell due to their RANGED offensive abilites or stealth (wow that was hard to figure :E). Offensive tanks will be somewhat out of the game now (at least in keep sieges) but dunno why defensive tanks are not getting good rps, guard against archers/assassins(can block bolts too mabeh, i know u can block if the spell casted on you, no idea if u can guard-block bolts though) will be welcomed imo ><

Obviously grapple-spamming BG bot n00bs are still getting groups in NF...

range classes already have the advantage at keeps,just most RvR will be around keeps and not MG/PK. For tanks defending a keep then there is little point porting in if they are just gonna stand there waiting for a breach. Currently at Keeps you need to watch for attacks from behind or people trying to get in. Soon 'gank' group will start porting to nearby keep and then start raiding the fanks of the siegers.

Good times have come again.

 

[Mabs]

Ahahaha.. blademasters suck. In NF my BM can't even reach the elevated state of a meatshield. Grapple? Not any more... BG? Why bother when the rest of the line has been nerfed to hell and back in NF

Suck it, archer bait.

Someones obviously only getting their first taste of FoTM'ness and trying to make the most of it

 

[Escape]

The shaman and paladin being in the "worst" lists don't really say much. They're mainly used in melee groups as end_bots, although a shaman has alot more uses - even in keep based action. Both classes depend on groups and you'll only see one per group. So their "average" RP will be low, but it doesn't mean the class will be useless in NF, they'll be needed as much as they are now.

 

[Sigurd]

Have a 50 skald now.. skalds easily the best tank in NF.. so.. no thanks, I'll carry on pwning

 

[Balbor]

anyone got figures for pre NF,

 

[Alithiel]

you can be my grapple monkey in NF Ali

In NF I'll be respeccing to LGM Siegemaster!!

I might play BG bot with my Paladin every now and then if I can't find a keep to reduce to smouldering piles of rubble...

Dont forget theres more BB's than actual active shamans, and BB's doesnt make that much weekly rps

 

[Deepfat]

Best thing to do is /respec /Albion for NF by the sound of it

 

[Ctuchik]

why? coz albs can zerg better then hibs/mids?

(oh and with NF albs cant really ignore the fact that they ARE the masters of zerging)

 

[Danya]

WTF are mentalists doing in the top 3? Becoming FOTM?! :O

 

[vintervargen]

US daoc has always been so similar to EU daoc, so yeah, it will be exactly like that!!!111

i thouight reavers where the daddy tank in NF? as mids n hibs state side keep crying about them

Skald with mastery of focus 2, speed of sound... should he come up against a reaver he can mez, and if purged, run with SoS.. although, we get some nice offensive RAs too. Infact, before Mythic realized they were giving a non-Albion class too much help, we had the most new RAs of any class.

 

[Balbor]

when will people realise that NF doesn't mean albion always wins and the other 2 realms cannot compete. NF mean the realm with the highest number of active high level player will dominate relics and keeps.

whats more balanced
1) realm with highest population dominating RvR, keeps and relics or
2) population with lowest population dominating RvR, keeps and relics.

all realms zergs, if they didn't then mythics has failed

So if i play Hib/Pryd (as indeed I do these days) and we have half of the population of the other two realms all I need to do is make the rest of the population of my server more "active" than the other 2 realms in order to compete?

Please explain to me how long as a realm with half the population of my enemies we should persevere and provide those with superior numbers a suitably superior number of RPs before the enitre realm /quits and we leave en masse as a result.

What's more fun (balanced go to hell tbh)
1) Mid/Alb wins the zerg fights simply by force of numbers and, frankly aaccording to you, as they deserve to
Or
2) An under populated realm succeeds even with half the population develops better tactics, skills and sense of community evening up fights which - on paper at least - we deserve to lose.

What is going to provide you with a better in-game experience? I'm sure you know the answer. NF isn't the answer and in all honesty it wasn't the question. I'm not saying I demand a right to win in every fight but in all honesty if RvR becomes dependant on numbers it doesn't take a genius to figure out which realm is going to suffer most does it?
