What about against dual resist halfllings? What weapon type is good against them?

Forum whining.

Always works.

Someone's Forum Whine <<<NERFS YOU INTO OBLIVION!>>>

Well the Fire Nexus and Savant still have multiple vulns and weaknesses that aren't reduced.

Halfling anything Warmaster is strong because Savants can't really take advantage of any of there vulns.

The Halfling Watcher has resistance to all weapons and all spells. 1st vuln can be reduced by the new boots. 2nd weakness, being poison resistance can be reduced by those portable packs. 3rd weakness being there low str, can now be reduced in the majority of there matchups via there sword/dagger bonus.

Dwarves have similar strengths in the cabal. I don't know if there hp, magical and physical resists entirely overcome there vuln to water. Combine that with a classes innate ability to disarm/destroy weapons and you got yourself a powerful combo. Wonder why this hasn't really been done yet?

Anyway I'm not sure if I have a stance yet. Just sharing my thoughts.

Oh wait, I now remember facing a very powerful dwarf blademaster in Watcher as my DK years ago. I felt like I didn't stand a chance against him. Then heard he got beat by a vamp then disappeared. Philisantees or something? I sure would've liked to know how that fight went.

It probably went like this:

embrace BLM

spy BLM

Wait a few hours for the bite to start wittling down the BLM mana.

At least that's what I would have tried. Obviously not quite that simple, but embrace is how I'd start that fight if they didn't get the drop with that Watcher skill. That was my only way to get Ivessianna off my vamp when she un-avatar'd. But I didn't have spy :(

People are opportunistic by nature.

If halflings are truly overpowered, would we not see a lot of them?

Maybe staff could answer this. Have there been more competitive halflings in the last 12 months, or giant berserkers?

For that matter, how many halflings have proved too difficult to be taken down period?

Good thing they can predict all of those at the same time.

You must be mistaken, only one thing can be predicted at any given time.

Knockout needs changed to uppercut. Knockout is not a command.

Thanks @Wade now I"m going to bombard you with code-related questions :P
