having thought about it over night will wrdy spec still be werth it with such a low WS? a 50 thrust inf has a higher WS the the wrdy spec sb/NS out there /discuss

 

[Twinky]

but but but.. even tho sb's r weak to slash.. the lurris and the elf's dont have as much str as a norse sb.. imo.. and iirc the slash dmg is str based..

But imo it would be best if all stealths were neutral to slash, and/or if shammy got dmg shield moved to aug spec, so sb's get that extra buff on theyre BB

 

[Jimmi]

guess I'll respec slash now then. Not like that crap 5 sec stun off a lvl 50 style does anything

 

[Leathas]

wohow,nice notes

I think alot of these changes are OP - though some are very good.

'Soldiers Citadel' seems like a great boost for Armsman, I think by 1.81 they should be quite the opposite of underpowered. I don't like the group cure all, thats basically like a smaller version of group purge, though I guess this will make fights last longer.

seems to me armsmen are quiet nice atm aswell. They do what they r supposed to do, damage and take hits - protect group members.

If i had the choice to make a group i'd take, 1 merc, 1 kagato, 2 clerics, 1 sorc, 1 theug, 1 pala and 1 reaver -

its the only thing that keeps we away from owning high rr infils with a brehon ns when purge is down

Continued . . . .
There is a LOT of titles to choose from so why are they using the Baron/Barun title so much. Does the Alb rank 13 Baron sound so much better than the Hib rank 11 Barun??
Take a look at the titles on the page below and see if there is a title you would rather have as an rr 13 alb/hib/mid.

Personal I want the title San. Frostalf San

heaven forbid they use accurate historical titles... RR13 ain't "teh kingzor!"

Well they use the title Baron/Baroness for rr11, rr12 and rr13. They are just from different languages.
Fine that they want to use Baron, but to use the title for all 3 realms and for 3 rr's when its so close to each other is a bit annoying imo.
Use it for ONE rank and come up with something totally different for rr 13. Give all 3 realms the same rr13 for all I care.
Imo the rr13 should be different from the other rr's somehow. Maybe they should be kept very short like Lord/Lady for alb, Herre/Fru for mid and Don/Dona for Hib (I know it's Spanish, bit the Irish/Scots/Welsh versions wasn’t short).

 

[Shatari]

Who will actually become RR13? 4 years more or VERY intensive playing through many many months (8-13 hours a day) with a very dedicated and skilled group? Took players forever to just reach what they are today....
So for me they can call the new title whatever they want

Easy. Then call them King and Queen in all 3 realms. Then there is something for the role players too
And in 10 years when a few "chain Ebayed" chars reaches rr13 they can duel for the title. Male vs male and female vs female only ofc.

 

[liloe]

and strong mid boost again by giving cure ns to healers at 40 mend, healers can afford it but shears >> cure ns for cleric/druid

that's what I posted on vnboards and they told me more or less that I was an idiot

I think the jury is still out on the ws/con poison, a step in the right direction maybe, but as someone posted somewhere, if you are at the bottom of the food chain and everyone gets the same ability, you are still at the bottom.
Yes, it will come in handy with tank/vamp fights and a bit on infils. Remedy ns's don't get affected though I think.

The more RP's per person is quite nice - will have to see the effect of that.

The RR13 rank is simply a joke :>
Alternative titles

Level 13L0 - 59,622,972 Realm Points

PS At just over 3 million RPs in coming up to 4? years playing, RR8, even though it gets slightly easier per Realm Rank, 60m RP/3m RP x4 = 120 years to get to RR13 :> I'd be just over 150 years old mwaahahahaha

Giv SB Love!

[Fellavader]

Yeah the rr13 seems to be a bit over the top

And how can they take snapshot from us? =( it's the only weapon armsmen have agains kiting casters.. now the only armsman who will get snapshot is Jimmythepost =/ Givf it back

 

[Kagato]

Agreed, im not very happy about it, and the new RR5 is not that good either when you break it down.

 

[UriZeN]

But about the ws debuff that means a nerf to all assasins vs other melee classes cause since poison no longer affects str that means that the dmg output wont change if u apply it to another melee char and u will only add a chance to miss on him! or not???

 

[Puppet]

Agreed, im not very happy about it, and the new RR5 is not that good either when you break it down.

I dont agree, the new RR5 is very close to Malice /use2 if you can keep them in your frontal arc. And it doesnt have the downside of Malice /use2.

It is one of the better RA's given to melee-classes, dont forget you can fight normally while its up, so its nothing like BM/Warrior RR5 RA.

 

[Puppet]

its the only thing that keeps we away from owning high rr infils with a brehon ns when purge is down

If you beat high RR infiltrators everytime when they dont use Dragonfang... make a movie

Im guessing my Diamondback is purged 70% of the times. Against some people I dont bother with it anymore, just straight up Hamstring--> Leaper

Nonsense, it cannot be compared to malice in any shape or form. They work totally different and for different purposes.

And it does have the downside. This rr5 is simply a 30 second buff (shorter duration to the warrior buff) which is a very short space of time followed by a 15 second penalty. That means for those 30 seconds of benefit you pay the price for half that duration afterwards ! To both parrying and blocking. And the days of short melee fights are well over, any reasonable melee fight will last alot longer then 30 seconds.

And again unlike the warrior ability this will only work in the frontal arc which is a pain in the ass when you have people walking-through and strafing around like lunatics.

The benefits and downsides are totally different to the other tank abilities, this ability you can fight normally for those brief 30 seconds, but then you have a heavy penalty, the warrior/hero ability you cannot fight normally in, but the duration is longer with no penalty afterwards and arguebly the effect is alot more dramatic.

And all this on a 15 minute reuse timer.

Its really not that great and not worth sticking snapshot on a 25 spec crossbow line for.

only some years to late
Better late than never though.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

dont see a Deflect Arrows ability on assassins so that the adding scout/ranger and yeah hunter can kiss my ass when i fight another in mellee and just pops to fire 'a couple of arrows' doing like 500ish dmg each
