but the real problem is new hunters and rangers making mistakes and blame it on class balance.

Nail on the head.Kinad said:No, most hunters do perform worse than Hellghost, just pointing out what
not to do. You dont use the tools and play without mistakes dont expect
to win 1on1 fights.
Xxx mid was killed by high rr scout close by.
Now its time to check camo, see if a good tree close by, maybe move area.
Most enemy stealthers wont do that since they think they are yber.
And when they find out they dont have what it takes, whine starts here.
Not got a high lvl scout just a level 44 in BG (Leirvik). I would agree that block rate does need a nerf. But standard 25% would mean no point in specing that line except for slam (which rox!). So why not make it similar to evade say 25% + 0.5% per lvl spec'd in shield, so max 50%? There could be some additional negative points for the spec Bow the guy shooting at you has.Rage said:The blockrate of all shields is very high (seems like 100% when I play my warrior) against arrows. Perhaps make scouts only have a 25% blockrate on ranged attacks and keep their normal blockrate in melee (which might be alot less than 25%).
So few actualy visit those boards, which is a shame as the TL's frequently read there also.Gear said:I think people have to start visiting www.critshot.com and ask about archery issues there.
There is no cap on blocking as far as I know, and dex really boosts its rating, I'm not sure about weapon skill tho.Hawkwind said:Not got a high lvl scout just a level 44 in BG (Leirvik).

nah its good, the ones whos there is the one who actually is interested in archer classes, all whiners stayed at VNJaem- said:So few actualy visit those boards, which is a shame as the TL's frequently read there also.
Balthus said:So all you guys saying everythings fine,im playing my class wrong,scouts aint overpowered etc etc are also saying that an archer class doesnt have a major advantage over the other realms archer classes when during keep takes they can stand and pick off a target on a keep wall and as soon as a arrow hits them from a hunter/ranger then just block every other arrow that hunter/ranger then fires at them until they can stealth straight back up.When you turn that around the hunter/ranger is now dead because they have to take all the scouts arrows full on with no means of blocking them like the scout can,cmon you cant in all honesty tell me that isnt a MAJOR advantage.
Like it or not non of you can deny 95% of NF is now keep takes/defence and having that blocking ability is sooo much better than having a pet (and btw mines green con as im 50 bow spec/44spear/35stealth and so am only 12 in bc).
having a pet does oh so much in most the fights your going to be involved in,even if on defensive the pets mezzed,dotted and dead b4 its halfway to the target.
The rangers duel wield is sod all use again froma keep wall,or from the base of a keep firing upwards so yes i would class an archer class thats got the aility to block other archers from firing at it as slightly overpowered.
Balthus said:Now pls b4 we start ive not just beeb PWND and im not a NOOB or any of the other crap that usually gets thrown at any1 asking a question here.
Are scouts getting any form of nerf in the near future does any1 know.
Im now so fed up ive stopped playing the game with my hunter as ill run round solo lookingfor ppl and spot either a scout with poor stealth or a scout firing or just finished firing.I open up on said scout and all i get is "youre arrow is blocked" on every fkin shot,i then have to turn to leg it as im unbuffed as i dont have a BB and know that theres never just 1 scout on his own and if i stand there hoping 1 shot will get past im gonna get a inf in my face.The second i turn to run i get 3 arrows in my back for more dmg than my crits usualy do (k well almost) and hey presto im dead.
This is getting really stupid now an archer class being able to block other archer classes then drop them in 3shots.
Now i know A LOT of other hunters i know feel the same way and have quit or are close to quitting as they are sick of this,just wondered if there was any light at the end of the tunnel in the near future?Tho i doubt it as Mythic/Goa are when it comes to reducing anything overpowered in albland.
Oki Q the albs all defending their scouts and trying to pursuade every1 they aint fotm/overpowered and how hunters get pets(that can do fook all as we have to spec so damm high in bow/spear to even have a fighting chance) and how we get self buffs (which again dont do a fat lot as we dont have the points left to spec high beastcraft).
You can take ALL of that lot from me if igot a shield that could block other archers.
Gear said:Scouts are not more difficult to kill than other classes. Play right, know your weaknesses and your strenghts and you can make it. Not that hard really.
Mandi said:1 word -> Engage
blocks every arrow you shoot
Raven said:so...how does a hunter or ranger engage?
Ranger - well rangers advantage comes in the form of mellee offense. With cd halving block and evade they can pretty much tear any other archer a new one in mellee said:Hm mellee offense, so hove do i use that in a keep/towre fight where 90% of the fighting is done.
Smilewhenyousaythat said:Why would a hunter need to - set pet on enemy archer and they're interupted.
Ranger - well rangers advantage comes in the form of mellee offense. With cd halving block and evade they can pretty much tear any other archer a new one in mellee, and once they havea few RAs under their belt can give a lot of assassins an ass whooping too.
So don't wajn about scouts having shield spec - its the only toy they've got, and its halved in effectiveness against all stealthers except hunters.
if ranger is dumb enough to stand there tring to finish off who he shooting without running out of LOS or ou of range and he dies its his fault.Raven said:Yes because a pet that has shorter range and takes ~5-10 seconds to get to the target is just as usefull as blocking every shot from you enemy, oh and CD really pwns when you are getting shot at from a tower, where 99% of scouts live

not as if a scout can kill anybody whilst he is engaging you archers.. hence all your whine is about your not getting your rp's . plain n simple.
If you can't kill him with 2 ranger friends you should try finding a new tactic, coz obviously you are doing something wrong.evial bloodstone said:you stand on a tower whit 2 ranger friends, you spot a scout and you all fire at him. The scout got his shield out and you all get blocked, Or you get spoted by 2-3 scouts, thay start shoting at you, and you die. I might be a bad ranger (gomle) but this is hove it usualy happens to me.
Same goes for you.evial bloodstone said:im in a tower in alb land, where a scout named nerfalot is shoting at the tower door, i shot him for 1161, hi only got a few % hp left but gets his shield and block my next tree shots befor hi stealths. A ranger whod have died there

Konah said:instead of trying to kill the scout with ur shitty bow, sneak up and wtfpwn him with your 200dmg doggy and 500dmg spear... just a thought.
