EQ

[Chase]

This mud is so unbalanced its not even funny. I just died to Viral and two stabbers. Viral was naked an hour ago. He suddenly bashes a set I worked my ass off to get and took me atleast 2 weeks. What the fuck is that. I got bashed 85% of the time.

Hardly should be bashed by a newbie set..

[Viral]

Chase someone was holding my eq for me from last night..
Wasn't a newbie set 49% abs and like 140 ob with spiked axe.

[Vurek]

The ridiculous notion is that there is still no MIDDLE dodge. That is the huge problem, I'm so sorry, but 80+ db should be dodging much more than it currently does.

I enjoy abs so much because I dodge more bashes than all my dodgers, and it's not worth it to me to get an uber uber 95+ db set. But Chase had the best set possible, and he's a ranger, and his pracs + stats doesn't allow for super high dex, as technically that's how it should be.

But there's no middle dodge, it's just making it piss poor easy for absers, and absolutely pathetic for dodgers. Is why I don't play my dodgers, I can't stand not dodging any bashes with 80+ db from a 13 lb 140+ ob axe.

I suggest changing the dodging % from 70-80ish, to at least 35% dodging of bashes, currently it's as pathetic as Chase stated, 15%, which is worse than absers which is more of 25%+.

Oh, and naturally 95+ dodge should not be changed, it dodges very very nicely already. But 70-80+ ish is pathetic.

It's just not right. I feel for you chase :/

[Viral]

I would say I was bashing Chase about 50% of the time.. Not 15 as you were stating. Plus Chase it is easier to bash someone when three others are on one person. Might have added to the higher percent at which I was bashing you, not sure :/

[Guest]

Nah, viral you were bashing me with that spiked axe more than 50% and i had 85 dodge. It is rather ridiculous, it is so much more difficult to get a kit like mine, then to get a spiked axe.

[Vurek]

Plus Chase it is easier to bash someone when three others are on one person. Might have added to the higher percent at which I was bashing you, not sure :/

DB stays the same with any number of people on, the only thing affected with multiple targets is the PB, and it gets cut by a % to each person on the target.

DB stays the same.

Kinda like lvl 50's bash better than lvl 30's, even if they have 99 bash 99 weapon. Remember that theory Viral? heh. Man, you must be smoking some good shit.

[Viral]

Ezekuel that is because I was Berserk Was just brave on Chase.

[Viral]

Vurek I don't know exactly how multiple people on one affected their defense but I knew it diveded per person. Don't need to attack everything I say. Im not trying to make anyone angry here.

[Chase]

Wasn't a newbie set 49% abs and like 140 ob with spiked axe.

Do you have any idea how easy that is to get? It's just rediculous an axe which loads on a soloable mob 100% can bash a set that I worked my ass off for. But then when I say this, they are going to make 90+ db even more uber, and some certain thief trolls will have no worries and be able to take out any basher.

Im not meaning to sound like I am bashing you on this post...its just rediculous. I should make a 20 19 human warrior and abs bash. I swear in a week there will be tons of posts how overpowered abs bash really is..

On the other hand.. I had an almost maxxed out set for my class. I didnt have but 1 lvl of track and survival, etc. Almost all my pracs in combat skills, lvl 50 ranger, missing 3 pieces of eq, and I get bashed by a same set as what loads on a solo mob. Please dont remove that load, its a great reequip mob... I don't know of a solution which wont make thieves insane yet make non-thief dodge playable. We all know those thieves who have nothing to worry about because they can only be bashed by the best abs weapon like 10% don't need to have better defense.

[Guest]

do you not have 99dodge or does 2dex points make that huge a difference?
I'd have 100db in that set and be untouchable by a lot of chars.

[Guest]

funny that he's wearing crappy gloves in that set

[Viral]

Anything over 45% abs is moderately difficult to get actually. Spiked axe is easy to get however..

[Chase]

I had those gloves because I was waiting on a kill with boarskin. I didnt feel like paying 40 silver for one. But those were 1 db, boarskin is 1 db 2 pb.

2 dex makes that big of difference. Dodgers are untouchable in a set like that, while rangers can get fucked by just a spiked axe.

Viral: Your abs doesnt matter, it hardly affected your bashing ability. If anything it means you should have worse bash. The point of this is your easy-to-get weapon and it bashing what should be a very hard to bash set..

[Vurek]

Yah Axxey, and couple that with Chase's lvl 50 ranger pracs, he can't afford 99% dodge, and if he did, he'd greatly sacrifice pb/bash/weapon, any other bare necessities.

Chase has bare minimum pracs to even perform, it's like being a lvl 30 trolloc ranger on old mud, trying to go combo bash. EXCEPT. You have worse pracs % b/c your stats suck.

So, he instantly loses 10ish db to dex(can't remember exact numbers), and then pracs kill him more and he loses more db from that. :/

[Trin]

don't you have 95% weapon/bash 92% dodge/sparry? if you ask me midend dodge should be upped but not the highend dodge. or change ranger practices so he can afford better dodge.

chase did work his ass off to get that set much more than 49% abs and a spiked axe would take trust me. hell that set is harder to get that 57% abs and claymore.

p.s. you should check out the new seanchan soldiers by morat'torm chase.
p.p.s. don't down spiked axe. up rangers. up midend dodge/make it easier to get.
