what i want is to when im coming up on an archer, is to fight an archer. not a jedi warrior.

Then fight an archer and not one of the best players in the game. Some archers put 100 melee wpf in their builds btw, I know a few. How is that for a rude and nasty surprise.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

if they are so good a little handicap shouldn't hurt them now should it?

Handicaps will hurt the lesser experienced players far more then the jedi.

My problem is that this is not targeting the average or even experienced player, but the jedi players of which make up a very small portion of the server, yet will effect everyone.

I'm one of the least tactical players in this game yet I do fine against most archers in hand to hand.  The troublesome ones are the people who've either put some points into hand-to-hand wpf or who can block long enough that their friends to help.  Case and point: It's not the blocking which kills me but the people using it.  So far as I can tell, from both a realistic and gameplay perspective, this is completely fine.

And the issue isn't just that it's good players doing the blocking but that it's good players who allowthemselves to be put into that position.  Even if I rush PrideCrusher he really doesn't have much to fear from me in close range.  The main nuisance for him is that I stop him from using his bow for a little while.  My plan, in these cases, is that hopefully I can distract him long enough that my buddies get there before his.

if they are so good a little handicap shouldn't hurt them now should it?

This is the same logic used to justify the gross and inefficient subsidy for hydroelectricity in Ontario.  Shame on you sir.

I don't have a single hybrid right now, and as much as I hate hybrid that can one hit kill me from both long reach and close quarter, I think this suggestion is slightly dumb, you take the word "Proficiency" a bit too literally, might as well make everyone under 130 prof not even able to handle a weapon and just stab themselves in the dick/vagina.

Absolutely not, blocking is player skill based, and that's the way it should be. This is coming from a horrible manual blocker too.

Why don't we just make blocking (parrying) based off of our intelligence?

I would be the Best Ever. Yes let's do this.

Or not I mean it would be kinda unfair to others if I could kill whole teams all by myself, no matter the odds. You know. At least now you can throw shit at me.

I gave up throwing, joined the dark side - and now cry nerf with every other melee classed player.  Though I am thinking of buying a horse...

I miss throwing but it's OP tbh and I don't even like fighting against throwers.

Almost like prepatch, when 200wpf player could spam you and you can't block?

That's one of the reason of the patch,  to balance game between new character and nolifer character. It's no more based on time you spend in the game, but on player's skill.

Prepatch I realized my 80-90 ping was holding me back from ever being that great at parrying.  I relied on that 200+ wpf to keep me competitive.  Post patch I fell into the throwing category to stay viable.  Now I am back at trying parry again.  I'm actually not awful but it's the sudden lag that means life and death and it's just too frustrating.

Fingers crossed on the West Coast server - I will be parrying all over the place.

Asking to have block related to WPF .. it's like asking to make the aiming with a sword using wpf .. completely non-sense !

Blocking will never make you kill someone ... so why would it need any requirement except than the player's skills at blocking.

You complain about weapon switch , then blocking .... if you're not happy about how cRPG is , feel free to quit and try another mod.

We won't change a mod for you because you're not so good at it, and if you were good at it, you wouldn't be complaining about the things that can make you die easier...
