If ninjas are so hard to play, why are there hundreds of them since the patch?

Hundreds? On every ninja come at least 3 archers. Not every guy wearing black lammelar is ninja fyi. Ninjas don't use bows, polearms, xbows or other swords besides Katana, Nodaichi and Wakizashi.

Roll a ninja if you think it's easy mode

Ninja spammers know how to block. Ninja spammer is not easy to kill but he wears light armor with crappy head armor which means one headshot and he's dead. The problem with 1H players is that most of them read some guide which says that you shoeld use diagonal slash and go for the head. Most of them do that first when they get in range. When I block them average players become confused and start slashing randomly, most of the time second slash is right hand slash which is easy to read and block. By that time they are dead. Tip for begginers in sword&board class: when you see a ninja or other 2H user using katana put shield on your back and outspam him and block his attacks manually with your spammitar.

Sickle sux anyway, it's meant to be used on slow guys with lot of armor, don't espect to kill a ninja with it. You have other 2 slots besides that sickle and your shield, use them to equip spammitar.

Manual block perfection is the first step. Feinting is the second step. Chambering is the third step. Movement and learning when and when not to attack makes you the ultimate meleer.

Sadly, I'm still perfecting manual block which means I'm at the beggining of this patch. Very few people know it all and those the one you see at the top of kill list most of the time. They invested time to learn all those things and they deserve to be on top unlike other classes which take less than a day to be able to own people.

Currently I'm spamming because I'm using Katana but I found very useful way of fighting, especially if you're using light armor and have lots of agi (ninja build f.e.) It's called ninja stab aka jump stab move which is very effective against shielders because many of them don't hold their shield properly. Also whenever you have height advantage use that move to easily kill average oponents. When you jump stab people you confuse them and they go into overhead block mode which means they can easily be slashed or stabed. I much enjoy playing a ninja it's not easy but it's really rewarding, every kill you make feels awesome. Too bad I don't have throwing skill for shurikens

No one leeches in 50k worth gear. He is a merchant. I can testify that in court if you like.

Highland Claymore is very good and strong. Better than other Greatswords imo.

I'm not so sure what to think anymore. Yes, archers are a lot stronger then they were in 0.200 and 0.201 but I don't think they are nearly as strong as they were before 0.200. I hate them so much that part of me wants them all banned permanently and part of me is sad when they are super weak because there is no challenge, killing them was too easy before this last patch.

Actually, I don't hate all archers, just FOTM kind of people who were throwers and rerolled into archers as soon as last patch came out. Throwing is really powerful as well but archery is way easier, I suppose that's why most of them rerolled. Archers always QQ when someone with a 2H sword or sword & board guy kills them. They say, 2H spamming idiots while most of them do exactly that. Since there is NO REQ SKILL FOR MELEE WEAPONS (only str atm) every one of them have some LONG kinda of sword or polearm. As soon as you get close 90% of them pull out their tool (in their hands it isn't a weapon) and hold RIGHT swing. It's so easy to block their attacks and kill them afterwords, most of those poor sould wonder what happened why they hadn't kill the man, after all melee is all about spamming right?

Also there is that PRO argument, we have problems going past your shields. LOLWUT. That reminds me of those idiots who QQ when we said to remove LoC. Shields and people who play sword&board class are meant to be death of you, my silly archers. You aren't supposed to kill them at all with your stupid bows and sharp arrows. It's a rock, paper and scissors situation: you archers kill 2H guys, 2H guys kill 1H guys and 1H guys kill archers. Simple as that. Those of you who can't understand that are clearly idiots.

I love killing archers, it's my favourite part of this game. Before the big patch I was wearing heraldic plate and riding a destrier and hunted those poor souls. I can't imagine what would happen if we ever get pre patch state and no upkeep, since I have plenty of gear atm I would probably hunt the same morons but in milanese and on elephant this time. It would be too easy.

Right now it seems pointless to retire before lvl 31.  Please explain why should retire before 31!

No one is forcing you. As said before, reason is messed up build.

This game is one of the very few which have good melee combat. Every other game is pew pew fest (CS, CoD, TF2, L4D2, QL, U3 etc). Games with good melee need to be cherished and if you see infestation of ranged fegs you need to nerf range combat so much so that those kind of people (mostly kids) leave and let us others to play a good melee game. I dislike some changes made in last 3 patches and all issues are related to ranged buffs. Before there were just archers and few xbowmen. Now there are the same number of archers but dedicated melee fighters became cowards and they always carry some throwing item and spoil good melee fight that way. Also xbow is really powerful with 100 wpf, even I with 1 wpf could kill people with it.

Give powah to melee, screw ranged fegs!

Hey, Michael is a genius. There is a fix for archery and it's permanent. Unable archers/xbowmen/throwers to use more than one ammo type during the round. That means 18 bodkin arrows, literally. No more spam, no more whine. Learn to play smart and don't shoot arrows whenever you feels like it. Perfect solution.

Heavy plated charger price 95.027 gold

So what? You still pay "just" ~3k gold for it not 5k.

-nerf fasader, his last balancements sucks

Kind sir, I'm afraid that's not possible. Without him all of us would die of plague or cholera (it's medieval mod after all). Devs shouldn't be nerfed, without them we have no game to play. Long Live Fasader!

Tempered Nordic Champion's Sword   
11763 (holy shit it's expensive!)   
weight 1.35
requirement 7
spd rtng 97
weapon length 102
swing damage 34, cut
thrust damage 23 pierce

+3000 cost for +2 damage seems a bit too much for me...

Ishar, don't be a noob. Upkeep is the same and I sincerely hope that's a feature and not a bug. If they change it heirlooming will become obsolete.

- polearms animation is odd, they seem faster then they should be
- blunt weapons, especially Bar Mace need a slight nerf (many people are using this weapon now, that should tell you something)
- archery should be nerfed a bit (8 pierce for bodkin is too much, maybe 6 pierce)
- throwing stones are annoying and plain stupid yet there is a way to make a build which will make that stupid weapon op
- 2H weapons are OP as always, yes they have their downsides but it's still spamable and make huge damage
- you should increase the cost of all horses including palfrey and especially heavy armored horses (which were always stupid, destrier should be the best horse, armored horses are more fantasy than anything in c-rpg mod)
- nerf throwing axes
- raise the cost of flamberge greatly, it should cost at least 22k gold
- 1h is fine because there is no shield barrier and 1h swords are very expensive and shields as well
- GIVE US KILTS (medium armor would be best)

Everything written here is my personal opinion and feeling how balance should be achieved.

As soon as I hit lvl 31 I'll roll an archer. Never been dedicated archer before, it's time to try one. I wanted to make a 1h+shield with xbows as ranged option and also optional horse from time to time but now that's way above 48500 I was aiming for (I wanted to use studded leather over mail not plate, spammitar + huscarl and light xbow).

Right now I'm 2h and it's fun, I've learned manual blocking a bit but it's kinda annoying dueling players who spam polearms (for some strange reason, they seem way faster than my bastard, not to mention the damage). Claymore was cool, even cooler now but it's kinda pricey and I'm missing the key ingredient to make a true Highlander and those are medium armors with kilts.

Ninja takes much more skill than I have atm, but buffed Katana may sway me in that direction (along with Shurikens and Snowflakes).

I'm not really sure what to do, be a easy peasy fotm friendly archer or roll something more unique but harder to play.

(Polearms on foot are retarded, I won't play that, I dislike axes and anything similar)

Edit: I didn't write friendly, it was just a F before agcher.
