At one point on an empty server I managed to 10shot him with stones. I think he's been buffed since them, but he is still weak as fuck.

I am fairly certain that the viscount simply takes 10 (or however many) hits until he dies, regardless of how much damage was dealt to him. 0 powerthrow stones will kill him in as many hits as a 15 PS war axe.

And I agree, the new waves are quite poorly balanced.

Arrows and barbed 1 slot and buffed for hybrids, bolts also. I was dumb and realized you could take 0 slot bows and 2 stacks of 2 slot arrows. Limb damage changes ensure damage will be OK.

This is great. Even after nerfs, bodkins and steel bolts have been the only viable option unless you are trying to farm as much gold as possible. It's important that crossbow/1H/shield still be viable on some way -  dedicated archery builds are much better than dedicated xbow builds with the higher average level.

As it is now (and will be after this patch, thank god), a crossbower can carry a "full" 1H weapon and buckler or a 0 slot 1H and a good shield. It's a nice balanced jack of all trades build and I'd hate to see it removed from the metagame. You have so many options of playstyle, and you are weaker (but not useless) compared to more focused builds.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

No clue how to edit dtv stuff. You sure you want to risk me screwing something up? :D

At first I had heavy armor as +7 armor and +10% weight, but I lowered it to 7% weight since the efficiency didn't increase that much. The lighter heavy armor ~19 weight will have around the same armor value as current plate, so not much is missed in terms of stats for them. Strength will just look super elite in plate, especially with all of the new armor coming out. I think it's okay for agi builds to be fast, but they shouldn't last long without the appropriate skill to avoid danger.

@Witchcraft

Sorry to disappoint, but I switched arrows, barbed, and bolts to 0 slot instead of messing with bow/xbow slots. It was awkward that Long Bow was the same amount of slots as a short bow. I think it makes it more fun for bows and crossbows to represent your choice of power, rate of fire, and accuracy while ammo affects hybridization.

1h/shield/xbow..

Just before the big patch, and just after, I was 1h/xbow/shield. Before patch it was doabe to get some damage done, but after patch it was too hard, I needed a better crossbow, better sword and better shield and armour to even survive, and my damage output seemed less, since everyone packed armor and IF more.
indeed, would be nice to see that back :)
Your binary primitive low capacity of thinking is not relevant.

I still rock 1h/shield/crossbow. I barely changed my loadout since the last patch, i think i started wearing some lighter armor but my weapons are all the same(+3 KAS, +3 ARB, +3 Steel Bolts, Steel Buckler). Its probably my favorite class to play so hopefully it'll remain viable after this patch, we will see.

This may sound irrelevant but who and why added kuyak and pronoia helmet to byzantine heavy auxiliary instead of archon's armor for example?
Just why? I am talking about DTV. Exp also needs a buff in this mode,it is low.

No need to buff cav, still the strongest class in the game i would say. Other than that everything seems agreeable.

Maybe buff cav by removing the speed bonus arrow damage does to horses, since cav are supposed to be the counter to foot archers. if thats even possible.

I could be wrong, but didn't they already do this? MW arb+MW steel bolts cant even one hit a Sumpter charging at me head on when I shoot him in the head.

Yep, that's been nerfed. I revert to 1h stab to a charging horse which wrecks it if I get the right angle. Arrows don't do much head on damage anymore.

Also for the sake of realism, can we make weapon stabs unblockable without a shield? It's kind of silly blocking a sword or spear stab to the face by holding your sword horizontally over your crown jewels.
