Balance

Well, after testing most equipment setups, I have found that playing anything other than abs bash is completely worthless. I don't even know why I don't delete this character, beucase to tell the truth, I feel worthless. I can't even stand up to a basher at my own patty, and I cant do anything again dodgers.

Balance is seriously out of whack, unless you mean to tell me an lvl 30 abser is supposed to beat a lvl 46 hunter combo spears character at his own patty.

Others feel this way to with me. LS is getting screwed: DS always has tons more than us, our mobs in pk zones are complete crap (now downed to 3 mob patties) compared to sick Blight patty, rangers get the shaft with the stats. Even if I have more skill than the person I am pking against, I almost always have to run in because my character just can't cut it. How about throw LS, and rangers a bone?

Bones sure are tasty.

The response if any will be "patience" I'm pretty sure. I still don't understand it about the north of fal dara friendly mobs, even talked with Galnor that night and he didn't talk about it :)


It's great gettin the shaft, almost anything I choose from whether it's dodge/combo/abs I suck at it. :P My stats of 16 17 20 are great for one thing, I last longer than most ppl b/c of my lvl (except for other warriors).

Hey, we all suffer once in a while, it's just my turn right now, and man does it suck.

I myself haven't even felt like loggin on, I am probably the worst abs basher in the entire game at that with 16 str. :P

Just not too fun anymore, with LS having shit and having to worry about horses, to having no safe zones.

Although I did have some super fun pk with Norash earlier today, we were both 10 hps and duking it out, if I had zerked the guy woulda died hehe :P


Still strongly think warriors are way too unbalanced, they have no problem at all with stats, they get 21 19 or 20 19. Then you go to rangers, who can only get 18 20 on LS and 20 20 on DS. Then you go to thieves, which can get 20 dex but low str/con.

The only stats that have not changed are the warriors. They are still as UBER as they were on old kinslayer. Yes I say uber b/c they are the maximum possible stats to play awesome abs. This awesome combo mixed with insane ob/bash and high hps creates deadly easy characters.

I think 100% the system we have now with eq and the likes would be much more balanced under the old statting system, just make it optional to stat and optional to choose your stats.

Right now there are perfectly statted(beyond perfect, more str even) warriors that are kinda silly :)

Rangers get the shaft stat wise too. Warriors rely on two stats: con and str (which they can pretty easily max out). Thieves rely on one, and the other two minorly. Rangers need all three to be efficient, but even thieves could prob pull a better stat setup than rangers in the bash category.

I can't even put into words how worthless I feel on this character. Unless I go abs bash, and become a weak basher.
