Sounds like WoTR with the "revive" by other teammates and the execution kill, also getting headshotted in the face early in the game shouldn't be nerfed, hell how many people can heal in 10 seconds from taking a arrow/bolt to the face. Because there is no healing system in this game there's no reason to revive anyone, will just make the round go longer.

Nope. Besides even in wotr, where I assume you're taking this from, allows people to kill someone who is down without executing them. The executions are just for show afaik and not necessary to finish off a fallen foe.

Shit idea, it sucks hard enough in WotR, but on the other hand I'd love to valor whore with 4 other guys spending the entire round in a corner killing/reviving eachother.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

I don't hate it, but the realism side of me says it's not possible to take an arrow to the face and be fine after a bud picks you off the ground.
And that is not even considering the medical knowledge of the time period.
Hooray for customization and hybridization!
Down with monotonous pure classes!

A solo HX can no longer pick off a team of 8 range-less tincans.  They just keep reviving each other until MOTF pops and take it.

lol i would join that HX(as HA) and just aim at the guys trying to revive the mate.

Sounds like a uber ranged nerf. Die in melee, and its hard to get revived (the guy that killed you is still there). Die by ranged, likely you are surrounded by teammates, fu ranged he will be healed anyway so your kills are in vain.



Just a feature stolen from war of the roses,

Actually in WoTR, revives and executions are what cause ranged to do the few kills they do. The animations for reviving and executing leave you completely open for ranged attacks and in fact, a squishy stationary target.
