Title: Who do you find fun to fight and play?
Post by: Osiris on April 28, 2012, 11:54:33 pm
so ive been respeccing a lot and ive gone through the classes trying to keep the game fresh :D

so my question is what class do you find the most fun to play and fight :P

Im a decent sheilder and decent 2h but everytime i fight a 2h it is the most boring thing in my life :/

every 2h i fight either tries to hiltslash me 5-6 times in a row, try to right spam me while running right trying to circle me or feint spam me to death :/ and every 1h left spams

Im trying out xbow 1h atm :D maybe ranged duels will be less predictable :D

1h no shield is the most fun ever in this game.

I usually play more as 2h but that too can get boring after a lot of time playing the same so usually I make alts.

I tried several alts but seem to always go back to 2h (I either dual wield or 2h in any rpg game I play) but currently I'm 1h cav and was thinking on sticking up till 31 then change or try something different.

I'll probably go for a fast assaulter or try on an archer capable of fighting in melee next gen if I ever reach 31 before respeccing out of frustration. (I seriously hate 30 -31)

27/9 or 33/6 Pike or Long Spear. Shit's hilarious, but it takes a lot to get used to and get some sort of footwork involving it down. (best used in a team-play setting)

Try hybrid Osiris. All pure builds is incredible dull after 2-3 hours. Even xbow\something will work.

im trying hybrid :P 2h just makes me sad when you can tell that 99% of the people you fight will either try to hiltslash or spam :D im not a leet 2h by any means but i can often get top 5 in my team on eu1 or higher on smaller servers, its just so hard to keep it exciting :D

1h/no shield and 2h(with Miaodao). Can't be arsed to play as a longspearman these days, random pubbies have no clue as to what to do when they get a teammate with a long-spear.
Absolutely hate fighting against polearms, that can be swung sideways, boring as hell to fight against them.

My 1h no shield gen was probably the most epic thing I have ever done in cRPG.

30/9 10 IF 10 PS 3 ATH

Stabbing dudes with a Long Espada and 10 PS was ridiculous. The left swing with the 33 cut on the Arab Cav Sword also got me more one shots than you think 1h would be capable of.

Try a thrower with only spawning throwing stuff and getting melee weapon what you can find after run out of throwing stuff. Never gets boring.

I like cav,and i am diecent with that. So rewarding class.

2h are also cool,but i am not good at it,but i stick to mob and get kills. I can block,but some players are so good and you can't do anything about that.
Usualy i get panic attack,and that screw me in duel.

pike/spear is very fun,and easy,tried it and i love it.

It's fun to fight anything that isn't

(A) on a plated charger and aiming to bump rather than kill

(B) doing the weird hilt-slashing wushu that moderately skilled 2h-ers default into whenever they think they're facing easy prey

(C) tedious backpeddlers.  I get moving backwards as a move, but always running backwards out of every fight - especially with a one-hander - just seems boring for everyone.


And it's fun for me to fight with anything that isn't an enormous polearm or a low-end throwing weapon.  I'm terrible with most things but they're still fun to use.

You are speaking my language.  I have never had so much fun playing until I went 1h / no shield.  It is pretty elite.

I've recently been just piling on the armour, using a Miaodao and hacking through everything on siege. I went 14-2 at one point without a single block. I just find that sword hellishly good at hacking through crowds on siege. It's fun being the first up a ladder and cleaving a path through everyone.

I tried xbow for a while as well and found that quite enjoyable. Although a little tedious once the rain kicks in  :(

the tedium has already set in :( i think it has more to do with my total inability to block any kind of weapon after the patch more than boredom :D I cant even block a bloody great long axe and thats easy to see :( fine fps 60 ping and still people insta swing *cries* maybe a few months of no crpg and lots of NW will sort it :D

Having high athletics/light armor and weaving all over between 20+ teamates and enemies. Always have a great time with shortened spear on my xbow character, landing fast swipes to stagger an enemy, then whipping around to backstab a shielder that your teamate has the attention of.

Also playing mock bullfights against cav. Pretend to reload your crossbow as they charge you, then jump to the side at the last second. Never gets old.  :)

I hate fighting people with two directional attack weapons. All they do is hold attack, it gets so boring.

Post by: Dezilagel on April 29, 2012, 01:38:08 pm
All melee fights with people who have their own style.

I do agree with Byrdi though, 2 or 1-dir poles used by people who are actually decent is incredibly frustrating and boring.

Get a maul,light armor and join siegue. You will enjoy every combat in general. Enjoy also the higher amount of spam and "teamrapingurback" that you will suffer.

Play a shielder. Add throwing if you like, axe kills are hilarious.

Reason for shielder? 1v1 gets meh as you said. However, as a shielder you can fight multiple people and still come out on top. That is never the same fight, ever. Good stuff.

Although 2H is an ego boost for everyone, kills are far too easy and it's pretty boring. It's much harder going as a 1H player without your shield, so I guess kills are more rewarding. I like fighting other 1H cav while being a 1H cav too, it's a bit like a dog fight with planes I guess.

Throwing is eternally satisfying though, that dull thud noise when you smack a guy square in the face with an axe or down a horse is pretty unbeatable.

Finally found an interesting hybrid/melee build.
Still wondering if i should put the wpf in 1h or 2h though.

Enables me to have fun against all classes, and i never think "oh, if only i had ran away and pewpew them", because i "nerfed" the build by allowing only 6 athletics, so i usually don't outrun people.

At least, the people that manages to come to me can be offered a nice duel. Of course, it sometimes make them rage that they got owned in melee by an archer, but that's their problem.  :rolleyes:

I like throwing shit at ppl. And chaning to melee mode hitting them before they're able to block. Class.

I usually play cav on my arabian and that's always great weaving in and out of groups and hunting other cav is fun too. Latly though I've been playing a STF char with 7 pt and 7 ath and having been annihilating people with war darts. It's pretty epic throwing shit at people and running away
