1h shield is too difficult at the moment

Oh lawd, I pray:

Cast upon this failthread thine überleetest spell of destruction!

Easiest to hardest:

2H>Shielder>Polearm>Polecav>Archery>Xbow>1H cav>2H cav>HA>HX>Thrower>Mounted Thrower

Shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot, run. Maybe dodge or OS one idiotic cav that tries to poke you. I don't really consider that difficult. It's just the same as the xbowman. With a little less accuracy, but a way better rate of fire. I still consider archery more difficult than xbows though (probably because I didn't tried it with full +3 equipment). But the fact that you can avoid all melee combat with very few exceptions makes these two classes ridiculously OP.

I'm not speaking about the early game btw. This is for experienced players, with some looms.

Cavalry may seem easy, but don't forget you have to be more effective than a footman if you want to break even (more than 50% win rate). Furthermore, it was nerfed so hard that only the core (very good) players remain.

duh. As a dedicated archer you cant have more than 2-3 IF and maybe 2 PS plus 7 Athletics and 6 Powerdraw. There are many players with 7 athletics and light armor (ninjas), so you cant run away from every melee and youre pretty much fucked when they come to you.
other with xbow. 15/24 with 8 athletics and 5 ps. assuming the damage you can deal with an arbalest and the fact that you dont bounce off with 5 ps at all, xbows seem to be the most op class.

I agree on the xbow part.

But, don't forget that archers can shoot all day long when they are fleeing. So your ninjas will probably just die trying to catch them. Good archers don't even have any PS because they don't need it to kill people in melee. They OS shieldless people trying to reach them, and when shielders come close they glitch around the shield with their bow.

2H>Shielder>Polearm>Polecav>Archery>Xbow>1H cav>2H cav>HA>HX>Thrower>Mounted Thrower

So wrong, do you even play this game? O_o

no man crossbowery is especially hard

[Teeth]

Alright, lemme try

Polecav>Xbow>Shielder>2h>Polearm>Horseslasher>Archer>Thrower>Horse Archer>Horse crossbowman.

Anyway I think its pretty close. This order is chosen based on how I see the average cRPG player and my estimates of difficulty he would have to get a good k/d witht hese classes.

[Gurnisson]

Every class. Several different classes with my main, alts for almost everything.

[Mtemtko]

Easiest to hardest imo:

xbow>2h>polearm>1h cav>polecav>shield>archer>2h cav>thrower>HA>mounted xbow>mounted thrower.

Yes I have an alt for each of them, at 2000 hours played I think I have enough experience in each...

[Gurnisson]

Forget it

[Thucydides]

xbow and archery is harder than it looks, only because i like to beserk instead of run

The only class thats even easier than 2h is lancer.

[Christo]

An STF alt isn't a peasant..

 

I agree that 2h can be easy (so can everything else), but you used a Flamberge, so that K:D ratio comes from the extremity of a weapon.

[BlackMilk]

a level 30 2hdude with a flamberge can top a scoreboard? I demand a NERF!

Tops the scoreboard with a 7-1 score, no less... that's 2 rounds! WOW! Michael returns with his amazing screenshits - err, shots - of proof!
