Maulers

[Flimgoblin]

Are you going to roll a mauler and play it in RvR?

(Edit for the unobservant - this is a repost of Manischs's poll without the totally loaded options)

last I heard you could play Maulers in RvR... but I've amended my post to make it clearer.

 

[Everz]

played one, nothing great, not wanted in groups, op'd solo'r tho.

Should be a "I have no character slots left" option

filled both server excal and pyrd?

am rolling one for solo rvr (daytime) but ill stick to my normal toon for group rvr as i dont like the group speced mauler

 

[Gahn]

Will pass on this, they seem useless for fg RvR (which i mainly do lately) and too easy for solo RvR. Not my taste tbh.

if I don't roll one is there any point in buying LOTM?

question, is mauler staff based purely on dex just like regular staff is?

Yes, thought i've read it somewhere on the VN boards.

 

[Wazkyr]

No plans to play that hybrid valk/friar/vamp/cleric/tank whatever it is. Im fine with my soon to be really imba Arms.

Based purely on strength. No dex at all. Same with fist wraps.

I fully intend to roll one because they're good fun to level up, however having already levelled one to 50 on pendragon I might not get that far (my heretic only made it to level 11 on excal )

 

[Kagato]

Never really been bothered by any of the overpowered expansion classes to be honest.

Nice to have the new race though, its the first new race I actually like the look off.

Errr you sure?

yep. it's not normal staff or friar staff. str also controls a mauler's powerpool

Hmm kinda strange, cause friars have bin beggin for some change on the staff dmg for ever. They always got told it's impossible to change it because of the coding.
Then again if its not a "normal" staff i guess it would be possible, but then it's also another slap in the face for friars tbfh.

 

[Dre@d]

Maulers staff is for suer pure stre based, aint the same as friars, and sharkith u should buy new expansion cause on our cluster zerg action will be 100% into the lab and to get some rr's apart from 8vs8 will be great ^^.

nah friars were begging for their dex to increase...

Changing friar staff to be based on strength would screw up a lot of people's templates etc. All they need is an above-cap +13 dex buff to give them the stat dex they would otherwise have

If they'd changed it over years ago it might not have been a problem but that's hindsight...

But yes people were commenting how it's so unfair for friars etc. in beta... however minotaurs are a high-str race so it only makes sense for all the mauler stuff to be based off of strength. Making their weapons based off of dex and giving them rising strength for example would just be doing the same mistake again - which wouldn't really help friars any

 

[Raven]

most of the newbs will roll one for sure....and get farmed

Such a biased view!

 

[Noxydawn]

For people wondering what primary stats needed for weapons for mauler

Fist Wrap: 100% Str
Mauler Staff: 100% str

For staff maulers go norseman/celt/briton
For wraps maulers go Minotaur

i hope this info is enough for those interrested in rolling maulers, to bad they dont really give anything good for groups, otherwise i would of rolled one when i moved to US servers

Staff used to be 50%str/50%dex based. But according to some (not sure if this is true) staff dmg whas changed purely to dex, so that the staff dmg of casters (jaja!) became higher.
This change ofc nerfed friars to bits and pieces, cause your averige briton has a najs balance of str/dex, but can never have that much dex (400 anyone?). So what they did whas increase the ws for friars a tat to compensate, but it never has bin up par melee wise. Some may say, so what? They are hybrids for a reason. True mebbe, but friars never have bin populair for your averidge fg and never did solo too well. Then again, the player makes the class great, so there are some exceptions!
Anyways don't quite follow why they could make maulers this way, but never could fix the friar. Or mebbe they thought it wasnt neccessary.

 

[censi]

can this be moved to general discussion pls?

 

[Straef]

Oho, another class to get rr11 in a day just for it to be nerfed, the joy!
Oh well, gives the easymode lovers something to do, eh? I don't see much of a point in rolling a class lacking any sort of speed or stealth, while not having a great chance of getting any groups. Then again, who knows, they might actually fit into some group setup or another.
