What if SB's could spec hammer. Would that bring better balance against infils?
And what are Hib leather weak against?

Hib and alb leather are both weak towards crush, it would be better if thiere leather got changed to slash instead of giving SB's hammerspecc. Or even changing SB leather to crush weak instead of slash.

Been raised before over on vn boards. 2 issues.

1. SBs complain about having to spec pure strength weapons because of str debuff. Hammer is 100% strength - therefore if SB genuine concern is the debuff this is not the solution

2. Hib and Alb leather are both vuln to crush - this therefore gives SBs an advantage neither of the other realms have. If the genuine concern of SBs is equality then this again is not the solution.

And just how do you poison a hammer ffs......

isnt mid leather vulnerable to slash atm? so this would acually balance sbs/infs/ns abit, and not give sbs an advantage over the others.

Now there are many more problems with sb vs inf/ns then this that needs to be fixed and going hammer is not a solution.

What if the only ml line was sojourner?
That would be fun:-P
And enervating poison should debuff str/dex, not str/con, that would bring balance to the weaponskill issue between assassins and it would make pa more worthwhile. But that has been brought up before. I think it would certainly be a step in the right direction. Another thing that has also been brought up before is to make swords str/dex based. Sb's would benefit from this, but so would bladeshades and slash infils.

Seeking a solution without knowing of a problem. Now that's clever.

Why?

Just use Heat LG's and they have 16% (less with proc) resist to you...

But a common thrust line for midgard would be a nice addition.

They are - if you boost the reading age a little you'll notice that i'm reporting the things SBs complain about. That they complain doesn't mean its an issue - I just think the get 'Extreme Whining' as a class skill at level 5.

Yep becouse Wyrd the almigty from VN boards found out something, that means no classes gets op right? becouse SB's need to give up skills to gain the same as a infi while still having a crappy offhand mechanism

like archer classes needed to give up skills to have an average melee dmg?

You missed the numbers that showed La>CD/DW then. Research first, then post - it saves you looking like an ass.

Well, I would prefer it too (if I played a dual wielding class). You get better effects of weapon haste if you use slow/fast or, even better, you get more chances for proccs to work if using the usual Battler/Malice (or other similar) combo...




Edit: Lies, lies. We would all prefer the H2H mechanics!!! ;)
