Why is it that you can post that your Armsman at RR4 can kill RR11 Tanks and "never lose" to any BM and that's okay but having problems with stealthers and all of a sudden bring on the nerf bat. Give me a break Roach that's the epitome of a QQ thread.

I can't kill anything with my troll zerker...except tomte...or an occasional werewolf churl...UNLESS I BANELORD DUMP and GO VENDO!!

Every class...or at least most classes, have different "skills" to up damage...

Every class...or at least most classes, have different "skills" to defend that damage as well.

Just roll a free toon on another 14 day free account, and use radar on that free account. I think thats what most other soloers do.

Tanks and assassins have two different playstyles and overall purposes in the game. When the masses start subbing in stealthers to their groups because their damage is superior to tanks/casters, then we have an issue. Even with two high RR, very well temped assassins, I doubt I could get in a good visible group.

For the most part, a properly played tank/light tank should beat a relatively even RR stealther 1v1 unless things just happen to go the stealther's way. If you're dying to stealthers that are not swapping weapons, not applying multiples types of poisons, and not using any general toys or tactics, then the issue is with you. If an assassin plays properly, then yes, they should have a chance to win the fight.

From my experience on my assassins, there isn't a lot I won't attack solo, but that doesn't mean I'm going to win. I've lost a ton of 1v1s to tanks in my career, and I've won a lot too. After they boosted shield, I didn't even bother to attack most shield tanks - there were fights where I literally logged 20-30 swings in a row where my mainhand didn't land. I actually had a fight were 58 out of 60 mainhand swings didn't land. With shield's current state, it's still better than it was before they initially removed the DW bonus.

For my Savage, I pray that a solo assassin attacks me. Sure, I've lost a few fights, but that doesn't happen terribly often. If I pop my rr5 and Warguard, I can easily kill 3+ mediocre assassins and he's a very group friendly character.

I can agree that adjustments need to be made, especially to Nightshades - their nuke should either lose some damage or range. Nightshade damage was extremely useful before they boosted the damage - now it's just stupid, it's not even fun to play my Shade anymore with all the idiots playing the class now spam nuking everything DD poison is stupid too

Dude, stealthers are supposed to be able to kill people 1 v 1.



You must be new to DAoC because for the majority of this game's history, stealthers have had to pick and choose their targets or face a horrible death. I had the highest realm points serverwide on Mordred as a Kobold Shadowblade when the server had a population of like 3000 online so I'm not a noob to the class. In those days, you were required to land a PA to stand a chance of killing anything and if you attacked armsman or zerker, the only thing going through your head was "hmm 90% chance of death but here goes anyway".



And who might you be? Because I was one of the highest ranked SB's during Mordred's prime.
