New Upkeep sucks for Strength players?

[Thucydides]

Just retire and go Agi next gen, i make so much money now its retarded. I also get more multis for some stupid reason.

I'm at a high enough level to consider most (all) players skilless compared to me except a very very few.

Then Mr. Balton, your opinion is pretty much invalid as you judge the game on what you can achieve and not what the average player can (or even what other top players can as only a half dozen people even come close to your skill), and thus you are pretty much useless as a result when talking about game balance as it would not apply to the vast vast vast majority of the player base...

If you were to, however, offer a perspective on the game for balance and suggestion purposes that is aimed more towards what us mortals can achieve then perhaps you could stop wasting both your time and ours? Until the rest of us achieve Balton level superhuman godly qualities such as yourself, we can not help but ignore and care little for your opinion, for it is like a rat trying to learn how to fly from an eagle by listening to the advice.

I don't see a problem with the upkeep, and I'm a str build. I consistently gain money with a x1 using straw hat, black lamellar vest, red wisby gauntlets, splinted greaves and a longsword. Since the patch I've only lost 6 body and leg armor, and I've made at least 85k since then, not including money lost from things I've bought. So as a recommendation, use slightly weaker armor at x1, and from x2 up use whatever you used before, and voila, insta-cash.

Most of the time I wear Kuyak with Great Helmet and Scale Gaunlets (I consider that a middle to heavy armour), using different polearms up to Glaive. I almost break even with that... winning some, loosing some but staying at the the same amout of money after some battles. I'm fine with it. There's no real need in money anyway - what should I buy with it?

Upkeep is fine. Stop using heavy armor.

This. I backed off my normal suit of armor and use light armor for 1-2x multi, 3-4x my normal gear, 5x for plate. Since Monday I have made about 55k. Upkeep isn't a big deal if you plan accordingly.

strenght players have there strenghts in an 1v1.
but there easily ganged cuz they cant suprise enemies by suddenly turning around or stuff there to slow for that.
they are at there best when there near teammates with either an maul or an long wep.
but there slow and they cant keep up with there team very well.
str players tend to fall behind and get cav spammed or become the lucky target of 4 agi or balanced players.
while agi can go alone.
run away for problems.
can stick with there team easily.
have high wpp and have better footwork for that matter.
i just say nothing with them both is OP,there just as good it depends how u use ur build.

strength players have their strengths in a 1v1.
but they're easily ganged because they can't suprise enemies by suddenly turning around or stuff. They're too slow for that.

Tell that to this Long Spear

AGI and ATHL only effect running. Turn speed is dictated by how fast you can turn your mouse or the sensitivity of your mouse. Spin-stabs or quick instant turns are equal for everyone regardless of if they have 3 AGI or 45 AGI and 15 ATHL.

Considering that strength builds are better REQUIRE NO NATURAL ABILITY it's justice.

+1 and fixed

did you know that you can get

30 str (+30 hp and some dmg)
10 ps (A SHIT LOAD OF DMG)
4 athletics (Just enough to reverse directions in good time)
4 WM (141 prof, 10 WM is only 40 prof higher)

The more you know
