Valewalker

[kinag]

I'm considering to delete Kinag when/if I reactivate my sub in a few months, then make a VW on hib.

Are VW allowed in hib rvr groups at all?
If not, I won't make one

 

[Ravenbourne]

It all comes down to det, no yu wont find them in a gank group but they perform well in random groups if the bard is quick with the de-mez, they are a very interesting class though

 

[VodkaFairy]

druid
druid
bard
warden
vw
vw
vw
vw/hero

^ That's a setup being used on some US servers afaik, seems to work very well.

But excal has none of those groups at all, would definitely be nice to try it out, but don't count on being invited into regular rvr groups without having good contacts.

ie Nuclear in LA managed to get rr8 on his vw but not every random lvl 50 vw can do that w/o the right contacts/guild

I want to play hib atleast and it has to be a "tank" class, as I love playing tanks.

any tips?

 

[old.Talivar]

In Toa VW will be FOTM cus of grapple and sure to get groups

Well, imo blademasters are quite nice and even a lot better than mercenaries when it comes to styles
Might be a bit boring when you're already used to a duel wield char tho
Lurikeen heroes are cool, but that's more about being luri and hero, rather than having a cool class

Blademaster. Atleast in pryd most active guilds have regular heroes which are needed only 1 usually to group,whereas bm have higher chance to get in.

But that is a fotm/overpowered class ;p

I play a valewalker and must admit that getting groups for RvR is a bit hit and miss at times. Fine if I am with my guild, but otherwise I tend to be 'picked last' almost...

I think we are kinda underappreciated in RvR, last week I was kicking the butt of a middie that was much higher in realm points and of a higher level than me, thanks to evading and parrying most of their hits... Until a troll joined in and then I was splatted fast.

Wearing cloth is a pain in the ass, but standing off and hitting with a DOT or life draining from a distance then charging in is a fun tactic. Personally I don't regret creating a valewalker for an instant!

What do BMs have? Back pos snare (so kind of free PF), side pos stun - not hard to pull off when assisting, or well... at least, if your target is stupid enough to stand still for a moment
Ok what do mercenaries have? Ehm... nothing DF maybe, but they can only pull that one off once a week
So, yeah, BM are better than mercenaries when it comes to styles imo
Still they are not overpowered so cool to play for Kinag

 

[vintervargen]

1. BM's - can be up to 5 in one group

2. hero - can fill one spot in both mage and tank grp

so if you want groups fast you should go BM, as you know (?) how to be MA, and you might not need to be as well known as a bm as you need to be a hero in a caster grp.

it's not like thrust merc has snare as a 2nd style in an anytime line... stunstyles are pretty crap tho, but mercs are really nice imo. not so big diff you make it out between BMs and mercs imo.

And why not if I may ask?

I tried hib before I moved to mid on excal, and I got stuck around level 30 unable to get groups as a Firby Spear Hero..

then my kind guild (Brotherhood of Hibernia) told me that tanks have a hard time getting groups in the late levels due to focus'ing

so I guess, unless you like to solo, dont make hib tank.



This is just my experience tho, and Good luck if you figure out what to do

 

[metta]

Vw is pretty decent tank with abs buff+parry+evade IV, but shines more in positional fighting.

Very good in solo. And after you get blizzard you can do nice damage in groups .

2 vw+bard is really good combo.

I will use a friends chanter for pl

To bad SI and TOA exist. Otherwise you could just buy a new acc and get a free month.
Well only SI out but still a bit of money.

Valewalkers are nice. Hit like a truck with that farmer tool. But hard to get RvR grps with it seems. Sollution? - W A R D E N - . Id say one of (if not THE) most fun classes in game. Pbt and buffs and heals and shit will make any grp invite you. They get much enough points to spec in weapon. Im 49 Nurt, 33 Reg, 20 weap and 21 parry with mine (i think). Works very well. WIth more in weapon and 2 specbuffs from a druid, i think i could ground a shadowblade. (been close a few times without specbuffs and with my current spec) That hastebuff you get in nurture spec makes u hit very fast. That together with the chants and some practicing in twisting them will make a good supporter/tank.

Could try something like 14 parry, 39 blunt (always the weapon of choise ofc ) 46 nurt and 22 reg (for better heals and the end reduction buff)

edit: 17 parry, 44 blunt, 46 nurt and 2 reg (for the end regen)
never heard of anyone using that spec. But might be nasty

 

[Flimgoblin]

VW - hit's like a pure tank, nukes like a pure caster

gotta love it
