These are what we are talking about...

They aren't worthless. Some SBs whine that they never kill infs...that's not true from my screenies. Ok they may need buffs, but to suggest they never kill infs is false.

I've said several times inf > sb.

A few mins ago... (yes I was double teamed at mmg, no big deal really, look at the damage being dealt)

Amusingly my first hit was evaded and I was then stunned for the whole fight (which lasted about 3-5 seconds). This is why I don't use 2hand often, which is funny because thats how I've had to spec.

The fact that you keep mentioning that

Buffed Shadowblade > unbuffed infiltrator

is confusing everyone. Its bloody obvious! A fully buffed Thane could prolly kill an unbuffed Infiltrator! What on earth a point are you trying to make by saying Buffed SB's > unbuffed Infil ?

Wake up and smell the coffee. Stop flaming and read the whole thread before piling in.

That's a blatant lie and you know it. We all know that Thanes can't kill anything, if they do its due to a bug/glitch in the game. :p

/sarcasm


Edit: Yay, new page \o/

And just to point out some things about those screenies that claim SB's are fine :p

Marath is using a bugged sword that you can place in Left hand slot and suffer no Left Axe penalty for duel wielding, also he is buffed and you are not. To say Shadowblades are fine because a buffed one beat you while you are unbuffed is pure bullshit. And then in another post say you agree SB's need love confuses the shite outta me :D

OK no more jokes - I named those files "SBsAreFine" because I was having a joke.

My stance is SBs need a little help.

Hope that clears it up.

imo there should be some general changes , not only classwise that would balance the game more.
End regen, used to be hib only so kinda unfair, now it is different in each realm kinda unfair also, i guess making it chant on everyone would be best, so it does not get interupted on bards 90% of cases and does not eat 8buffslots on shammen, much conc left and no room to giv buffs sucks imo.

determination, it's the main reason why some tanks are not wanted or less wanted in groups atm, either keep it an only main tank ability (warrior,hero,armsman) or give it to every class with differences like value per lvl , max lvl and different cost? (as it is now for main tanks, more expensive on hybrid tanks and cap at det3, avaliable for casters also maybe but till lvl 2 and 10% per lvl or something) just thoughts

resists, casters got low hitpoints sucky armor and get interupts on casts cause of many reasons, so they should hit hard at least when they land a spell, so fix resists somehow keeping pbae balanced tho (lower the DD or something), lowering resists will suck when people zerg tho, cant realy go kill a caster with 10 more next to him nuking you for 5xx :eek:

should be some changes on stealthers too i spose but havent played my scout since ages and my minstrel got 1in stealth so i did not realy follow the stealth changes on last patches to have a valid opinion :)

Cabalist - Dunno, fine as it is i guess, have a nice bob to kite with.

You say remove the intercepthhingie on Spiritmasters, but still the rest of them is fine (basicly).

My problem here is the fact that Cabalists and Enchanters, being the two other pet-classes (SM counterparts) with Focus Shields and they have AE damage spells in the spec-lines they get Focus shield (Pbaoe for Enchanters and AE-Dot for Cabalists).

Our intercept on pet is real needed for us who have spec'ed Summoning and tbh, as a summ sm, it don't intercept enough.
Might sound alittle "What the fuck do he mean" but needing to do 5-6 nukes to kill an opponenth with some hits and that much it don't intercept atm (or I haven't tried that yet, for sure)

But elseway, looks like fine ideas, but remember to look on counterparts before yell out for a nerf.

just a quick comparison...
Supp SM... pbae, intercepting pet
Chanter... pbae, nuking pet with snare
Ice wizard... pbae

ice wizzies need a specline pet, at 5-15-25-35-45 or something imho

Well, wizard isn't a pet class, so why should he have one?

Ice wizards are supposed to be nukers not pet class. Unfortunatly mythic has screwed up the resists so that dd nukers are screwed unless they can debuff their own damage.

True but then they emphasise teamplay in RvR. Thats the way i see it anyhow. Want heavy DD ... bring a debuffer along imo :) Of course Hibs are a different matter, but then they are allegedly a magical realm ;)

Wizards arnt pet classes no... but as far as all the pbae classes in the game, ice wizards are lacking so much, they arnt used apart from on the occasional keep def / attack, and pve ofc.

Also keep in mind, this is just my humble opinion, which is always changing :p

well if u compare cc classes, pbt classes, end regen classes,speed classes u will also find out that they are all quite different aswell ,so here pbae classes differ they dont have to be like same for any reason

giving them a pet is just one option yea, but they need something to make them worth while, something defensive maybe, i dunno, im no game dev, just someone with bad ideas :eek:

PBAOE, no, but I see your point, could use alittle fixing, but no DD or DOT in same line with AE Disease, myabe make your Debuff shout AE-instead? Then that spec could benifith a group more in RvR.

And note, I accually admit you need alittle help and I'm MIDGAARD!

Accepted.

I had an idea today, inspired by my love of xbowing greys :rolleyes:

Replace Shadowrun with Shadowstrike: 30 secs ability to attack with throwing knives in stealth and not lose stealth! Ofc normal attacks uncover the SB, but free 30 secs of rangeds attacking would be nice and fun. Thoughts?

Makes him a nasty opponent :(

Does using a known bugged sword constitute anything dodgy?

Lifedrain is a very poor nuke.

Disease is the only good spell there.

Transfer health? LMAO

Lower attack speed shout? only good to interrupt someone, nothing else.

PBAOE would fit in very well.

I dont think so, Mythic changed it in 1.62 so that you couldnt wield it in left hand anymore, but if you had it in your left hand during the patch it stayed. (thats what i heard anyway)

You can never please anyone..

- Some people like it the way it is now
- Some people want to go back to patch whatever (believe me you don't, there's been a lot of changes you will miss)
- Some people want their class to get abilities that do not fit the class at all just because their class is lacking
- Some people look at all the spell combinations on a class and like to call them overpowered while they're actually lacking
- Some people accept the limitations of their and other classes and try to make the best of it
- Some people just need to stop whining and start really playing :)

PS: wardens are fine, don't attract any attention to us else they'll figure out how overpowered we are since we're kinda like savages only with pbt/heals/buffs and we don't lose health for our buffs.
And check this out, we don't need ip since we can use heals like this regularly:
