I've been grinding ARTIEthestrongestmanINTHEWORLD like crazy for months, wanting to be the first person post-throwing nerf to work his way back up to a useable 11 powerthrow. I had used the CRPG calculator at http://infinitum.dyndns.org/crpg/calc.htm to make sure that when I hit level 33 I would have enough WPF to be able to use that 11 Powerthrow. According to it when I hit level 33 I was going to have 144 WPF in throwing, and of course the requirement (13 x 11) is 143. I thought even if it was one off I'd be covered.

But I finally hit level 33 tonight and I levelled up and the calculator was off by two. I only have 142 WPF. I have one less wpf than is required to use the 11 powerthrow. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it until I hit level 34, which is effectively never since I'm only gen 4.

I'm not respeccing. I don't know what my effective powerthrow is being nerfed down to as a result of my "throwing proficiency is not high enough" but no matter what, that whole grueling grind from 32-33, which I've been doing for months, has been worthless; the only things I put points into simply don't take effect.

I deserve to be laughed at because it's funny, but it fucks up my best character, and I can't help thinking what I often think about CRPG: I wish they hadn't nerfed everything quite so much.

34 isn't that unachievable actually.
Can't spell manslaughter without laughter.

Maybe use some lighter armor to solve the wpf problems  :?:?

34 isn't that unachievable actually.

Ehm depends if you have a life or not  :lol:
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Guess you could try asking devs if they're nice for a full respec so you get some more agi? Or just grind to 34 like a no-lifer.

Woah. That's super harsh, bro. God damn, if I could give you some of my experience to get you towards 34 I would.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

"WPF calculation can have minor error (1-2 WPF), as it is based on player observations and not exact function like before (thanks Gafferjack)."

I should feel sorry for you, but eh you are ranged  :mrgreen:.

Yeah lets grind like 80m xp with my build being ineffective as fuck , but I'm afraid you won't get a free respec. Otherwise evrybody will want one.
