0.2.9.0

Actually seriously considering respeccing to 2hander since I will have to respec anyway with these changes, might as well do a class that got buffed substantially (unless you are noob who crutched on the longest swords in the game constantly stabbing, longswords and bastard swords are even more fun now if you know how to block).

Yeah, I'll be right there as well. Back at 30, heading to retire instead of continuing onward.
156 WPF, only 6PD, and even less, 4ATH. Feels like I'm using my MW Horn Bow with about 56 WPF. At least my Messer sidearm is still viable.

btw. Is this end of hybrid characters ?

Appears that way. Time to respec 2h. Hooooooooooooray.

I'd be surprised if ya got free respecs since I can recall when a patch came out and increased requirements on horses. No free respecs were given out then and they were simply stuck not being able to use the horses they haven been using especially when they probably loomed those horses too so.

Armor weight decreasse archery wpf aswell ?

So this slow killing machines will stay together in every round with some bodyguards and dont let anyone to come closer.

So maybe we'll finally get to see some proper teamwork on EU1, for a change of constant running around in circles like imbeciles and running away from combat like archersmore imbeciles.

Cav could just trade them, simple as that. I can't trade my 8 ath away.

Well if I remember right, and I could be wrong, this was before the marketplace and respec time. At that time, there was no such thing yet.

Wat, marketplace has been there like forever.

Except horses like the +3 arabian lost like 300k of resell value instantly when that patch hit, not even mentioning many cav prefered just changing their builds. Now, archers with lots of ath can just retire, or if they don't want to get heirloom points, respec. And if you leveled over level 31, be happy you had your time of awesomeness, you even get more LP than you would have if that change occured before the hall of fame was introduced.

I noticed 2 big changes :
Buffed even more agi (athletics/wpf)
Nerfed armor

Yeah, if i'd be lvl 32 or 33 i'd be already retired by now. But to get to 34 took forever and retiring/respeccing is no longer an option. I love(d) my build, i rarely kited and now instead of just getting rid of kiting my whole build is entirely uselss considering archery. God, there are archers out there with lvl 35, who are and are allowed to be awesome, because they probably spent years to get there and now, poof, useless.
Horsies can be just swapped for other horsies, that didn't make the char suddenly completely useless.

[Kafein]

I agree on one thing : archery wpf/PD/whatever thing that makes someone an archer should reduce sprinting/moving abilities, not the other way around.

Making it like that would have solved issues without the bloodbath.


But now it's done.

[Fips]

Best solution, like just mentioned in irc, is to let arrows weigh a ton. Pewpew will be just fine, kiting almost impossibru and hybrids can just drop their bow and get into melee.

But i guess that would be way too easy to do, rather take the hard and dirty path.

[Darter]

+1 for Fips

[pepejul]

Archer IS the bad choice...I say that for years =)

Seriously I dream about STR = SHield and AGI = PD.... Slow tanks VS MAgicspeed archers should be great !
