If I was asked to come up with a solution to reducing damage without nerfing any particular char type it would be based on the number of attackers.

1 on 1 you will do 100% damage
2 on 1 you will do 66% damage
3 of 1 you will do 50% damage

This can be explained away with you wouldn’t have room to swing the weapon.

The result would be diminishing returns for ganging up on someone.

2 people would only be doing 132% of the possible 200% damage they could put out individually
3 people would only be doing 150% of the possible 300% damage they could be doing.

/assist trains would still work, but to a lesser extent.

Wouldn't work very well now with the ToA master lvs, before it would be a nice idea.

However, unstyled attacks are alot easier to block, and savages wich mainly use 1.4x GR styles wont gian so much from it (also loose stuns). This ability would not be overpowred vs a propper grp who has bodyguard/guard.
Unstyled attacks are just as easy/hard to block as styled attacks. WS vs block rate is the only thing that determines whether you get blocked or not. However the miss rate will go up without styles, and ofc you loose the style utility as well.

hehe, u dont realize how hard savages actually hit atm? Hits over 500 with mainhand only is pretty common from the better ones, toss in a quad and ouchie.. they got 4.4spd claws and that made them even nastier, and a duel doesnt reflect RVR a single little tiny bit mate, you should know that by now :)

and final words to you my friend are, the cure once made a song called, boys dont cry ;)

my smite clerics killed Skald, Thane, RM, Mincer etc solo after our smite nerf, does that mean we still need nerfing?

Nope all L50
Mincer was level 50 in a duel, dur! didn't count on me using insten DOT proc at 1500 range to stop his mezz. I guess the rest didn't expect a cleric to stand and fight. BOF and both instent heals both used against the tanks who didn't have IP. Just wish i had MOC and purge.

Of course thats nothing seeing at Enh healers can solo savages

I refuse to accept the fact that a caster can take away 2k HPs in 6sec. :< Not even that much. 4 maybe.

easily if it gets 4 pbaoes off

it could do 2000 every CAST if 4 tanks happen to stand close

Yes because it raises weaponskill more you spec into it just like any other main forms of weapon spec.

- Whirling Dervish will now only be granted to classes that cannot specialize in a weapon. All players that currently have Whirling Dervish have had the RA removed and the points spent for that ability refunded.
Fixed ?

With lw perhaps. I know I hit for close to 400 with 1h sun hammer having 34+16 hammer atm. :touch: And if thats the case raise your resists?

Duels dosn't matter yeah I guess you're right. But thanes still rock fyi :kissit:.

So the cure is to be a boy and cry and everything will be alright?

I never claimed to be male never claimed to be female etiher. :<
