Title: What class are you playing?
Post by: Aethelwolf on March 08, 2013, 06:58:47 pm
Hello. Since everyone is arguing about OP classes and that there are so many archers/hoplites/etc. these days, I have decided to make a poll so we can see what class is played the most. Again, you vote for the class that is played by your MAIN. Also, if there is some special reason that made you play that character, I would appreciate if you wrote it down. For example if you went shielder becase you were pissed off because of rangers, hoplite because you like to keep distance from your foe, supporting role and use an anti-cav weapon. Write your thoughts  :)

Thanks for your votes,

Aethelwolf

12/27 1h no shield.  8-) 8-) 8-) True cRPG hard mode.

Dedicated pugilist is just being a masochist.

Yeah, Malaclypse. I originally wanted to do 2 votes/person but it would cause chaos, making many and many votes for thrower  :wink:

Please add hybrid options, such as Archer Shielder or HA with Shielding Bumpslash. No poll about classes is complete without this build.
For me, currently I am pure shielder, but I alternate it with the two builds above mentioned.

Also, you might want to mention if you are referring to main character, most played character, or what, since I for one play on alts almost as much as on my main
Something that worries me is that certain people might vote for the class they want nerfed, not the one that they really play

@Moncho: I'm not that familiar with the hybrid options so I totally would forget of some. But if you write me down some of them, I can add them to the poll. I am referring to a main character because that is the only one that can join strategus. Hope I answered all your questions  :)

I think adding hybrids would bring a total chaos. As I'm 1h/pole cav/inf hybrid, I alone am a combination of 4 classes :P

By the way, the fists option will change the outcome of this poll. Trolls will just choose that option rather than their true classes.

I'll admit it, I went archer just to see how borked it is now and i honestly feel bad for the other archers out there. I'm sure every other class is like HELL YEAH! But archery has been nerfed into the ground. For example, today i shot some strength crutching baddie twice in the head with +1 bodkins and a yumi bow, 6 PD and 140 wpf, and he lived. So i shot him in the body, still alive, then he swung once and i died. it is a sad day for archers...

Edit: I'm ready for all the -1's i'm going to get from you mad bad nerds out there. Just remember you're admitting that you're mad and bad when you do it!

Yeah, I know that too. But what makes archers strong is teamplay. I have seen many archer nests in many battles that totally changed the result of the battle. Same thing is with pikemen. Weak alone, but give them a good team and they are unstoppable.

Well, asking which class is your main wont help you see if there are so many archers/hoplites, etc.  Everyone could be cav for their main, but mostly play an archer alt, for example.

I propose a new poll:
What classes do you play?
Each voter selects up to three.

ALSO include hybrids!
I suggest adding the categories:
melee/cav hybrid
melee/ranged hybrid

Shielder, because it is, and always has been, a fairly balanced class, which when mastered is capable of fighting any other class even when outnumbered.

Post by: Rumblood on March 08, 2013, 09:09:08 pm
I think which class(es) do you currently play would be a better option. Top 2 would be best.

Hybrids, don't worry about so much. Even as a hybrid, thrower + 1h shield for example, or cavalry/melee, you play pretty much as one of those classes until forced into a  situation where the "hybrid" role makes sense. Throwers + 1h shield are going to Throw until someone gets in too close and they will switch. Cavalry/melee will be cavalry until their pony dies. So pick what you do primarily.

However, if you allow two options and someone only plays a hybrid primarily, they can pick their hybrid options,

I don't agree with you. Damage is fine, it's actually very good imo. It's the missile speed that is the problem for archers and that people with great amount of armor keep up with you now after the weight nerf.

I'm very grateful for all the new swords being 0-slot, but I would like to see some pierce/blunt weapon 0-slot as well, simply cause you don't stand a chance against high armor targets (with lower PS at least) and since the added weight you can't really run so it turns to backpaddling and blocking and hopefully a teammate will save you

Anyway go Long Bow, it's the ez mode bow now days

Bagge, thanks for the tip but I went rus bow for faster shot speed. The last time I stuck out archery for a full gen longbow was only bow with pierce so I have to get used to it lol.

no, this poll atleast gives results because people might say: i play 95% on this build, 4% another class and 1% a third one. if you give two options people also have to choose the 4% wich is futile

but if people play 60% one class and 40% another, that is no good to report only one.

Also, this post says "What class is your main."  If you play archer as a main character, but you only play it 5% of the time...it is useless.

This poll has its strengths and weaknesses.  I also created a new poll just so we can compare.

Not quite.  I would say most thrower/melee builds just try get a few lucky shots into the mob before engaging in melee.  I usually try save most of my jarids to keep cav at bay and to take out archers near the end.  But as for the rest of the Hybrids, from what I saw, yeah, I agree.

So the point is, us thrower/melee guys are a different breed altogether, and I demand we get represented!
