Title: Buff 1 handers
Post by: Bobthehero on September 19, 2011, 02:15:14 am
Buff 1 handers if the character who uses a 1 handed eapon has 0 shield skill.

Why?

Actually, it would make a new kind of class viable, not a very popular one, but still, diversity is the key.

Archers and crossbowman would whine less about the incapabilities in melee.

It's possible to be quite good with what's already there.  Darkkarma, for example, is scary from far away and up close.  His house is fun on Halloween  :D

You don't have to tell me Diomedes, but a small buff to just to say you can fill the gap wouldnt hurt ;)

I have played 1h no shield for 4-5 gens now and I think it's well balanced. Less damage than 2h or polearms, but somewhat faster and harder to block.

hey bob, what if we buff 1handers without shield to be like 30% faster and more powerful than those with shields?
Title: Re: Buff 1 handers
Post by: indigocylinder on September 19, 2011, 06:53:53 am
30%? you realise that would make a 100 speed sword have effective 130 speed with no shield, right?

A 1-3% increase would be more understandable.

-trollmodeon- I approve, give this man a medal. -trollmodeoff-

Probably, nothing to make the weapon close to 2 handers, but rather give the offensive edge agaisnt shielders.

now correct me if im wrong... but dont you take a penalty to speed and damage when using a 1hand with a shield?

...

Using a shield doesn't lower anything but movement speed and maybe feint speed(tied to shield speed). Exception are 1 1/2 hand weapons like bastard sword, katana and morningstar.

I just want to say that 1h with no shield is the most fun thing in this game.

I mean, they can speed it up a little bit or slightly buff damage, but I'm not sure if any other 1hs really care enough to want this.

1h no shield is very fun, especially if you can pull off winning a 3v1 or more.

Hell yeah it is, and making it a bit more competitive wouldnt hurt, at all.

i dunno... when my shield breaks i usually speed up enough to throw off a lot of opponents who had gotten used to my rythm with the shield.

You wont have any bonus, since you have shield skill ;)
Title: Re: Buff 1 handers
Post by: Matey on September 19, 2011, 08:34:37 pm
well my point is... i already seem to be deadlier in terms of offense without the shield... just not as good at surviving without the shield.

No, 1h without shield is supposed to be hard to play :)
