You don't even need a strength build to one-shot everything with it. My build is 21/15, yet I can stand on a bridge with a little bit of armor on and swing away killing everything that came.  No blocking needed, because everyone died in the first hit.  This included someone who had at least 19 strength (last I checked) wearing an armlet, vaegir elite armor, etc, basically someone wearing semi-heavy armor with okay hit points. 

Morning star is easy mode.

I guess everyone except me saw this coming

It's to be expected, you are new after all.

To stay on topic, I hate anyone who kills me.

I think Lawn_Gnome should get a mention in this thread.  His build is 6/33, how many people can maintain a positive KDR with that?  Not many, from what I've seen.  Always a pleasure watching him destroy armor crutchers, I love people who can win with a real agility build because while it only takes one shot to kill them, it takes like 10 million hits for them to kill anyone else.  So much more intense than watching some guy in armor with a bec pretending to be a lawn mower against a row of peasants.  Oh and by the way, I have nothing against the bec despite being NA.  I have the same amount of respect for anyone using armor and high damage weapons. 

Even less respect for people using long weapons.

Fuck people who use teamwork >=|

Lawn_Gnome uses a shortened spear (Seriously, it's short).  He's playing hard mode (agility build with no shield).  He wears no armor (Because it's too heavy).  He does not work together with his teammates (because he is a hero).  All the odds are stacked against him, and he still does well.  I love Lawn_Gnome.

To Huey -

I don't think shielder is an easier class to play, just different.  Maybe it's easier in the sense that a new player can pick it up and do well with it easier than starting off without an auto-block, but I _know_ I'm at least worse with a shield because I am just not used to the speed decrease I get whenever I put it on.  I heavily prefer one-hander no shield to one with a shield simply because the shield encourages me to use the RMB, and I hate that button.

I would hate it because it would mean deleting all my alts with their 5 gens of heirlooms spread between them would have been a pointless thing back when you needed to delete all characters to have a skip the fun character.

Air
pseak
Dasty
Fallen_Im_With_Stupid
Rhuell
Party_Boy

Basically anyone who fights really really weird.  For a guy who pointedly refuses to use the right mouse button im_with_stupid does surprisingly well in the melee.  I'll throw in a mention for bigsandwich I guess... he's melee right now but I like him far better as a horse archer.  No melee weapon, just chamber fists like a boss when his horse goes down until someone swoops in to help him.

How to beat a strength build with a crushthrough mace as a 1hander

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iJTi_OITEo

If you can land the kick, great but most people can't do this.  I'd say get in a side swing duel, make sure your positioning is always on the opposite end where your swinging so your hit lands first if he dares attempt an overhead.  Obviously you still have to block if he decides to do a side swing but make him pay if he ever tries his crushthrough attack.  Granted, this won't work if he's working together with someone and if he's a good mauler he probably is, in which case you're better off running away. 

I am telling you though, there is nothing OP except teamwork.  Put shielder + shielder with spear together and it's the most infuriating combo.  At least with a shielder + mauler they give you the decency to die quickly.

Two-handers in general are rather worthless.  Make two two-handers work together and they have a much bigger chance of TKing each other compared to if one of them was a shielder.    You also don't get the benefit of the shielder able to completely tie up whoever you're gang banging.  The ability to hold up right block and just let the shield take blows while the other guy does all the damage is ridiculous.  Mauls are good I'll give you that especially deadly when paired with a shielder, but don't lump in the rest of the two-handers with them.  I feel like that would be saying lancing cavalry is OP therefore we must nerf polearms.

Suggestions Corner / Re: No action taken while jumping - possible?

« on: July 13, 2011, 07:46:47 pm »

What in the world is wrong with you people?  Take away a gameplay element because you're too unfit yourself in real life to perform the action 'jump' and one other thing at the same time?  Or do you find that jumping and turning while doing something is completely out of the question and beyond human possibility?  Because I hate S-key hero polearmers as much as the next guy but c'mon, it's a legitimate fighting style and if you can't maintain your range then maybe you just need to get better.

It isn't unfair, believe it or not while the guy is spinning in the air about to attack you he doesn't actually know where you are either.  If you don't take advantage of this, he will in a few more milliseconds.  This applies to both in-game and real life.  If you want to play Vikingr where everyone's got the physical limitations of my grandma then go ahead, but cRPG's combat is slow enough as it is, please stop dumbing it down further.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

Because sometimes you just need to switch to a crossbow in the middle of an archery duel.

Anyway when this bloody cooldown timer wears off I'm going to try a 15/24 5 IF 5 PS 8 ath 5 WM two-hander to chase down backpedallers archers.

It probably means you have to wait 7 days until you can make another one after deleting your previous one, unlike before where you can just spam through skip to 30 alts on a whim.
