New Classes

[Guyton]

Is it just on the Burlok server or are other servers getting totally steamrollered by the new order tank class in scenarios.

Currently the Blackguard seems a very weak class compared to any tank class on either sideand very uninspiring.

 

[Mabs]

blackguard is anticaster tank
kotbs is the debuffer, chosen esque

dont expect to kill kotbs' with BGs

 

[Flimgoblin]

it's just the class make up really - get some sorcs and some support for them and you should melt the kotbs. That or get some chosen to counterract em.

Or just get a WE to kill them, as they do with every other class.

Why not? I was killed few times 1on1 by a BG on my lowbie KotBS

This might change post-T1 though.

 

[Hawkwind]

I killed quite a few WE's 1 on 1 yesterday in Tier 1. Certainly seems to hit harder than my Tier 1 chosen even a few levels lower. S & B damage is still nice and dont see any real value in goin 2H unless your just killing casters and squigs.

 

[Gear]

The abilities seem to be quite anti-melee on the kotbs

im not saying you cant, its merely that at the moment, people seem to think they are designed to counter each other, which isnt true

Nah but I was lighting the shit up with my new Chosen alt last night. Jesus never played a tank before (I am playing two handed) so not really a tank I guess but my damage output is well.... I can't believe it.

My WE may well be taking a back seat and I never roll alts to get to the max level but I just wub the chosen.

Haha I will be back It just makes sense to get an alt going now with the numbers that are rolling other alts to get in with the BG rush.

Was nice to not spend the night typing instructions out in region chat But you know I'll miss it!!!

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Not even close. Move into the sci fi genre for another try

 

[Uara]

No idea about tv series, but there's a US Navy Seals, think its navy seals with a motto very similar to that

Although not quite in the same league as Firefly, another show I was really disappointed that didn't make it beyond the first series.

Veering unsteadily back on topic, not sure I'm in a hurry really to try out the new classes. Magus just got some lovin' and there is so much to tweak and try out on that.

Final episode of the season was an absolute corker.

 

[Aada]

So when can everyone else try the new classes? since i'm not resubbing until i can actually do so.

I really had a lot of fun on my FOTM last night

Blackguard do seem to be a little light compared to the chosen and the black orc (especially with the Chosen Aura changes).

They are, however, uber at twatting priests and casters. <3 for that

I've been having tremendous fun with the KOTBS yesterday night.
At first glance it's a lot like the chosen...

Now I just have to explain to my wife why I play a char wearing blue-yellow striped spandex and a codpiece...

Firefly was ace (see sig for Serenity quote)

Well you can probably dye the colours, but I think the codpiece is still going to need a good excuse.

I'm not bothered with new classes either, I don't really enjoy tanking, I might roll an alt though to join in with everyone else though.

My Chosen against KOTBS has been a bit hit and miss, generally quite a long fight but out of 5 1v1 fights I had last night against a KOTBS 3 levels below me (I'm level 16) I won 2 and lost 3. I'm a low RR though and not that well geared so it could be as simple as that - generally the fights are pretty close and more importantly good fun!

I've hardly played since the patch but I've already seen some level 25+ BG on US servers, they seem pretty awesome in PVE, I'll stick with my Chosen for now though.

 

[Faeldawn]

KotBS vs WE is a really fun fight (at least in T1 it is) and seems very evenly matched.

However, as has been said, Sorcs just melt them
