Bards, Crusaders, Blademasters [5/11/2015]

[Anume]

You mean, it actually takes a little skill now to dominate with one?

 

Submit logs if you think there should be changes.

[Telufial]

still waiting for the bard nerf

[Anume]

Both bards and shield warriors have been fine-tuned over the last months, so submit logs and point out what you think would be an appropriate change if you wish to see something else changed.

[kamikazi]

I haven't got logs, but I think you should have a look into the change on blademasters. They are at the moment...weak as hell. I cannot go past the interns in the Offices with 50/45 hit dam...Seems ridicilous to me.

[kamikazi]

And yeah...I am not too skilled with a blademaster, but I know the basics....getting hit four times in a round and landing one hit just seems...overtweaked. It's like I have no defenses at all and I rarely hit. Maybe you overdid it there, Morlhach?

[Telufial]

The offices are incredibly hard... trying to solo even the intern portion is... pretty rough.

[Erelei]

Shield warriors even have a hard time in there.

[Brofessor]

hard time is not a good way to describe it. I get beaten badly

[sarduarkar]

I will admit interns are OP, hard for any class I imagine. I think nearly 50% of my deaths are just from trying to get passed those interns.

[kamikazi]

Oooookay...You are all missing my point I guess. The post was not intended to show how powerful the interns are, but how gimped blademasters got...Never mind.

[Anume]

Again, post logs

[kamikazi]

You are only saying it, cause you know I won't do it anyway, hah.

[Anume]

Just saying that decreasing the tac to one similar to other melees does not mean that a class is now underpowered. It will have a minor, yet balancing influence.

If you'd completely dominated the pbase with a blademaster pre change and now were getting tottally destroyed, this would mean that the change was really a too strong one. This is not the case as far as I have seen, thus logs are needed if you wish something done.

[Zhurong]

Blademasters are in no way, shape or form under-powered from the changes they received some time ago. Look at how strong Velkyn was. He was not necessarily a power house, but close to it. Shield warriors have been nerfed and then slightly buffed, I still have my arguements there, but it this here is not the place. Bards have supposedly been tweaked, but in many many eyes are still over powered by a lot. The way bards are, it seems no matter how I argue a nerf, they are almost screwed in total as a class. I will be coming up with logs hoping to get them further nerfed.

[f0xx]

That's the same Velkyn that had -900 AC right?

As for bards, Ghrundor, you've played quite a few by this point. You should clearly know they are not what you claim them to be, especially after the (well deserved) nerf to their weapons and mods.

On blademasters - this is not a new change. We've had a few BLMs that did well after it, I wouldn't say they are gimped, but then, what do I know?

That being said, I think someone is looking for an excuse.

[Naruthiron]

Getting real up close and personal with that line between sarcasm and flaming. 

[kamikazi]

f0xx knows that I love him. 

[Brofessor]

I think shield warriors are now alot closer to being balanced. There are some things that i am sure the staff is still considering. From the perspective of playing one the tweaks have changed how you fight with them. It is far from always wear a shield and you win now.

[Anume]

Which it should not be. Compare to other warrior lores: against some enemies you will still chose another weapon (or to dual wield or even use a staff maybe?) that does not allow your lore to work.
