I dont see what the problem is... I got a 50 Bm running around out there (usually solo+buffs too) and Ive never had so much fun in rvr. Its so much more interesting than the old mezz+kill tactics from before... lol, well you know what I mean. Its what only a few of the people in this thread have said... you just got to adapt with the times... most of you are bitching about it because the old tactics that you were so good at simply dont work anymore. You just got to modify and overcome... thats what its always been about, you forgotten that? At this point Ive got to say Im glad the albs are zerging around in huge numbers now, it gives me that challenge that Ive never had before, and when we wipe them, it means so much more!
I just dont see what the problem is, NF is the breath of fresh air this game has been needing. lol, just get off yer high horses and pick up yer swords again... the times they are-a changing.

Or just some dont like NF and stop playing. But u seem to be unable to understand that point of view on this game. Oh well, this can go on and on and on and on ...

Where do I deny that? I was pointing out to you what he was saying (something you didn't seem to grasp). A good process to follow when posting is: read what's written ----> engage brain -----> type response. Simple as A,B,C. Try it some time.

Tanks are vulnerable on their own and have little group utility, with New Frontiers, Hence why playing one in New Frontiers sucks. Siege warfare where they have the support and protection of others is the only place we seem to be useful.

I doubt we'll see any balances soon, it would seem Mythic are too busy launching and fixing catacombs to address balance issues in the current game.

not like sorc can do anything except running after he used rr5 ra!
sm can still cast when pet is intercepting.

Sorc can charm pets thou, sm can't. So a sorc could charm an even more useful pet then the sm, thou not an intercepting one.

many times i felt useless with my hero standing in keep waiting for the charge. But then again i would have felt that way with any other character too(except ranger or maybe ani). But many times i felt really usefull too...just today me and goldenbark(ani) kept whole zerg at bay a couple of times with him(as mushie) crept forward with me guarding him from all arrows etc. And we killed and pressed backwards loads:) We duo like that a few times in past and it works really good.
So being deffensive tank works really well....cant say i kill many myself but a few now and then.

Everything is funky in Nf if you know what you can do. I really don't know why you all say Tanks are useless in NF. I have fun!

(Without Eirene Hauberk Bug for Noobs who can't play proper)

:p

Greatest fun of all is using Scallars procc to morph to wolf and have all enemy archers trying to kill you but keep getting blocked!! And ofc, lots of them don't really understand and keep shooting on my shield :clap:

PS: The fun is completed when they get the reverse dot proccing on them :m00:

well, as magicians of all sorts just are too attractive to play i would suggest that every zone have a certain amount of power (magic) that can be drawn out of the earth/air with crack/pom powerfonts etc. so mages cannot cast unlimited spells.
healing classes not being affected as they are granted power from their gods or something.
that would tune down magician impact on siege fights without gimping them when they run around in normal amounts.

that would probably make warriors more fun to play in siege warfare, when the mages run low on power and cant wtfpwn everyone within cast range in 3-4 mouseclicks
