Minotaurs and bare-knuckle brawling, oh my!

[Svartmetall]

Filched from VN: new 'fist wrap' weapons, which can't logically be anything other than bare-knuckle 'weapons'...shades of the EQ2 Brawler here? May be Midgard-only (something they're giving the Savage to make up for what it lacks compared to Berserkers, perhaps? Would certainly fit the class) or something else entirely.

...aaaand we can all be Minotaurs! Looks to be something for/from the expansion...

I'm rolling a Minotaur Zerk as soon as it's live.

oo so fotm svart, bets on how many ppl role minotaur zerks whilst us old age dorf zerks carry on showing how its done

 

[Basic_X]

wounder how OP that class will be

 

[Congax]

I hope that's a joke tbh, Midgard doesn't need another Savage like hybrid class :<

Surely it would be a Race and not a Class?

Aye, it is...

i think the rumour was that the next "new" character was going to be available to all realms? so we ALL get access to the minotaur \o/

well thats obvious seeing as it appears three times in the config

also minotaurs backstory originates from toa(in the game at least), something all realms have access to a same version of so that makes sense too...

as for the weapon/new class, i cant see that working......unless its just a new weapon for the current savage....

 

[Mabs]

so thats either going to be a troll or firby or HO with new skin or its going to be insane. and dont tell me its going to have less than 80 str Oo

but the important Q is... what classes can it be !

hibs need a viable blades stealther... albs need another high str tank so all the people who rerolled highlanders as HO can do so again, and mids will probably "win" the high con caster like the HO theurgs etc

giving it to everyone doesnt solve anything unless it can be all classes on all realms, otherwise people will cry about realm X gets Y class and we dont.

/lack of enthusiasm

Dont you think its a little early to start getting depressed about this, we know squat about it yet.

NOPE!

cos its going to happen. everyone will get really excited, then 2 weeks in everyone will be throwing their toys around and whinging as per usual

nothing ever changes

 

[scorge]

will be something in the mythic news tonight about the expansin i think

 

[Svartmetall]

unless its just a new weapon for the current savage....

Yeah, if you check the delve it shows as doing Crush damage, which would be neat for H2H Savages...

 

[Nate]

read somewhere there was a staff aswell, so maybe this class is going to be different for every realm..say mid gets a pet spam! hib gets a savage type and alb gets...alb gets arthur!

 

[old.Whoodoo]

read somewhere there was a staff aswell

This one?

 

[semanon]

I can see it all now:

Thread day 1 -- Grats <name> first level 50 Mauler.

Thread week 1 -- FOTM Maulers, awesome.

Thread month 1 -- Grats <name> first rr5 Mauler:worthy:

Thread month 2 --Nerf Maulers they are way to overpowered, whine.

Thread month 3 -- Grats <name> first rr10 Mauler.:worthy:

Thread month 6 -- Dammit the last patch has nerfed Maulers to hard, puting mine into retirment, whine.



I really hope Mythic have learned their lesson with Warlocks and not make the new class too over powered, to be nerfed to hell later. Hopefully the fact that it seems all three realms will get the same will balance out any possible NERF threads.

yup, we can make just one thread in the general section rather than one in each realm.

 

[Gungo]

Will it reopen accounts tho? probably not!

 

[Pirkel]

You'll be sorely missed

 

[Ctuchik]

as for the weapon/new class, i cant see that working......unless its just a new weapon for the current savage....

it probably isnt, if u look at the bonuses for the weapon on the screeny it says "fist wraps 4 pts" and savages melee is called hand to hand...

 

[Rub]

i think they try to keep as much ppl as poss atm, and they give something new to try out to not make the ppl get bored

 

[Aeris]

i think you might be right

 

[Svartmetall]

Maybe these Fist Wraps are what Minotaurs use...being, like, really strong and stuff...they don't need weapons, they just batter away with their huge fists. Or something.

 

[Aeris]

lol thread keep getting closed on VN

i guess the NDA is being violated

mythics fault though for putting them in an open test server

 

[Svartmetall]

Heh, just saw those threads disappeared...

Hey IGN mods! You can't touch US

 

[Basic_X]

Fist wraps, that class reminds me of the "assasin" class in diablo 2. martial art crazy freak. wounder if it kicks and does the Roundhouse kicks aswell (Chuck Norris style) :worthy:

I'll resub/reroll if it does a roundhouse kick ... but only then.

Would be really cool if we got a class like that As long as its not as op ofc! I remember doing uber combos on Baal. Making him die in a few hits on Hell mode xD Imagine that on Golestandt, Danos.. you name it
