Yew Spears
Yew Spears
Are these supposed to be rare or not? Right now almost every human has one and I have 2 in my chest + 1 on me. They allow you to get 320+ defense and still bash 129 db prety good. Humans can also charge with them. I think the load on Yurian should be removed or they should be downed considerably.
yew spear is 14 lbs last time i checked, and yes it does bash 129 db well. there's the first problem.
also, considering charge, can we please up the landing %? i bricked 4/5 charges while testing on SLEEPING pc's, and i've gone 0/20ish on SLEEPING trees. if not up land %, maybe reduce missed-charge-lag?

In the past 40 minutes i was bashed 20/28 by the yew spears that Tobias and Rhaes were using. Right not the only weapon better is a heron of which there is 1 in the game. There was 2 yews in the game indeed I had some of mine deleted because there should only be 2! Now there is probably 10 or more. The power of this weapon would be fine if it was still only 2 in the game, but with 10+ in the game and the fact that they load regularly on a smob makes them insanely over powered. In time all non thief humans will use them unless Cannibal dies, because then 1 wil have a heron.

I think the main problem is bash, I have yet dodged a bash in the last 3 days, an emmense axe has sat me down 100%.
But I do agree with zarth why were several yews taken out of game only to have even more load elsewhere?
side note, for some reason my channie is pulling 122 db in a perfect set with 18 dex and agility weave.

. Dunno if mine is older than yours, Zarth, but I'm pretty sure it is. Bwahahaha! 
More on the power of this weapon and dodge in general.
1) The yew spear is still sick got bashed like 8/12 or something today
2) Right now all dodge < 125 is the same as no dodge against the top end weapons. 130+ and you will start dodging some things. This is trivial for humans to obtain because of agility. It would make more sense to have 120-130 be what 130 is now and then 130+ just be even better.
3) Ob affects bash too much. This is probably why the yew spear is so good. On a horse in full dodge I think I would pull 190 ob brave. Events today showed this to me. Me and Arkoth killed Averi, but Scream died too so Averi got Scream's set. I saw Scream bashed near 100% by Rhaes's yew spear, yet when I was trying to bash Averi I missed all bashes. So either the 8 db from agility matters too much or OB matters too much or BOTH!!
4) My solution: give trolls +5 ob at all times and give Dreadlord the ability to agility for like 5 qps. Or just Fade me and dreadlord someone to agility me and I will show you what pain is!

and then i mindlessly spammed into a DT with screams set cause im a dumbass!
but scream deserved it for stabbing me so that was payback from my new char!
you are prolly right about that zarth
i heard they are reworking bash so each weapon can have a % landing value though, so hopefully that will be implemented soon

Of course... When two hands are being used on a weapon, how is shield parry involved? It's more of a "weapon parry".Zarth wrote:For trollocs practicing shield parry has no effect when you have a 2 handed weapon now! At least with spears and I think lances, though someone told me staves still get sparry bonus.
