Replying to Topic 'Barb Changes Feedback'

I have given a list of reasons why and how I see them as being comparable and why the analogy is not good for overall balance in the game.

You say it's not, and your evidence is "it's apples and oranges".

I can't compete with that, we'll have to agree to disagree.

This is the cobrahn scenario all over again. Barbs got bored and never grew above level 35 for 5 years in cobrahn. They were given arg and that balanced them, but the class was still boring so no one grew one. Deathsasquatch came out and the top 2 barbs in the game were level 35, even though there w...

Replying to Topic 'Parry, Excally and Bug?'

Excally casts earthcrush on every attack. The earthcrush does not affect the paladin. The way I understand it, Boramier is saying when the retributive attack from the parry quirk activates and attacks with excally, the earthcrush hits the paladin.

Replying to Topic 'Sweep Vs Chi Sweep'

Like the original sweep, chi sweep starts off weak and improves dramatically with more skill. By about skill 21-22 Chi Sweep starts to work quite well. It hits harder than sweep and hits invis/unseen crits, however with a defensive penalty. At skill 24 an MA gets powersweep, and it is good immediate...

I'm a bit surprised this thread is still going.

If you wanted to turn NL into cob part 2, seems like doubling a barbs damage, prones, ...

Youths definitely drop in mormar, but not as often as str/agil/nork major/nl major. They were broken at one time, and only an empty bottle dropped, but that was changed.

Maybe you should have added that disclaimer to the original post instead of just ignoring a large percentage of crits who's ammy is one of, if not the most important items they have?
