I fucking hate it. My inf isnt gimped, i dont play "badly" but every time i come up against an NS with remedy up i get torn apart. It got to the point where i will try to activly escape from any proximity where i see a rr5+ NS. I dont mind a close fight and loosing, but to loose because (insert rr5+ ns here) has a WIN ability up pisses me off.

the question is will it ever be addressed? is it even worth discussing? Shoud i drop all env from template and go full melee. The fact that it also prevents not only dot, debuff poisens it also stops any arti/lgm weap proc as well.

I have only jsut started playing my inf again after about 1 years break, got a new template etc and i go out and get my ass handed to me by every rr5 NS there is.

/whine over

discuss.

It all runs in circles of FOTMishness.

SBs were well OP'd b4 LA nerf, NS's were bottom of food chain at same time.


Infs became top of food chain after TOA/LA nerf doing similar dmg that justified SB's nerf. Sbs became bottom of food chain.


Now its changed again with NF. NS's are OP'd with remedy, Infs are 2nd place with horendus melee dmg still and Sbs, well we all know they are bottom of food chain still :(

well at rr7l7 i would expect to win at least 1 fight against a rr5-7 NS but when they have remedy up it hasnt happened yet and ive fought over 30 fights like that.. I have purge 3 to even the stakes but then ofc my proc from my lgms doesnt land, but then do u save the purge for stun whilst he is 1k hp ahead from his/her dot/debuff? Not much time to make that decision......

And as far as im concerned NS's have never been a "weak" class, sb's yes, after LA they have it hardest, since the DF nerf to 5 sec it bought the assasin classes alot closer but to give an rr5 ability such as this on a 5 min timer is imo a bit too much. Cost me 30 points for purge 3, and after its used both SB/Infs are still at a disadvantage as weap procs mean fuck all as they can be a winner.

But saying all this Neffneff is right i catch him with remedy down then its more likely 70% chance ill win, ofc im 1.6 rr's above him. 5 min rut is a bit much for something so powerfull.

NS are top of the assasin foodchain (like shrews said its not like infs havent been their). but goods inf will find ways to prevail while the rest get the shit kicked out of them.

NS was never a bad class.. ( ap3 anyone?! xD )
they had AP3 in the "dragonfang time" wich they removed and gave them remedy so even in the df time they could compete good ;)

tbh if 1 stealth class from ns/inf/sb deserve Remedy then it should be the sb

like wittor said, ap then remedy, justified by the good ol' "u had dragonfang pwnpwn amaaagaaaaad". ye like shades didnt have a stunn back then. not that im complainin, infils can beat shades with remedy without difficultys. remedy just tends to "randomize" the fight more.

the class getting remedy shoulda been sbs all along.

NS had a stun, but Dragonfang was 9 seconds (for eons) and NS stun was 5 seconds. 5 minutes Purge + legendaries was the best (indirect) love to SB's given (dont forget the style-reduction arti's which SB can get as only Assassin)

Also get the feeling Remedy wasnt properly tested when it was introduced, it made sense Nightshades needed something to make up for the low STR and CON races. Instead of something remotely balanced (like a self-only +30 STR +30 CON aura) they give something which does nothing against most enemies, and screws assassin vs NS fights.

Still think Remedy is inferiour to the oldskool 9 sec Dragonfang or the 'Look I 5 shot a paladin with Doublefrost' xD It should also double our damage, then it would be a good payback xDDD

Give all NSs a race respec while at the same time allowing Celts to become shades (and why not shars as well), then you can take away remedy.

Do as I do, don't fight them as plenty more RP's out for the taking. If you meet one and cannot avoid it do your best as that is all you can do.

NS have remedy and albs have 2.5spec points/lvl (<-- check this out m8s, it's another argument you can whine on)

Oh and I also think that it should be possible in some way to win, even if it involves nasty tic-tacs ( I'm saying nasty, not illegal ) =))

I didn't mind remedy itself as much as I minded inf/sb having a rr5 ability for a totally different usage.. while NS have one that hurts the most for the other two assassins .. while SB at least was most effective vs visible classes that were standing still for X time.

I've stopped playing the game, but that has nothing to do with remedy.
