I do and I dislike it because its not my preferred play style but it is hands down way better. Way easier to survive, easier to secure kills, easier to avoid fights, easier to run away when Ive made a mistake. I just take slightly more damage than medium or heavy, but it doesn’t matter because the dodge and mobility is so much more advantageous I can easily survive what would have killed me in medium or heavy 5 times over.I run 350 str 150 con in all the armor types . Light is so much easier to be in it’s ridiculous. Defending the disparity is silly. The mobility is leaps and bounds better than taking slightly less damage.

Yea. Couse light armor is best for solo/duo playes. Same as bow. Thats why we see so many light armor players and so many bows. Couse you can play solo.
But for team based figths like 5vs5 or sth, you need medium bruisers. You need frontliners to have any chance to win.
It depends on your role 100%. Light melee is pretty rough rn if you don’t have a healer. You randomly get blown up trying to kill someone on the sidelines
yes so when a team of 5 light players can kill a medium player from anywhere on the map, in 1 second, you don’t have much a frontline …

Time to kill is low. But if you have normal 5 man premade with bruisers and healer they are very hard to kill from range.
Solo mele is hard right now. But premades i think are way better.
I have been killed many times in a sacred in exactly this scenario, 2 or 3 bows only needed… the difference is most bows can’t hit their shots
Well yea bow dmg is crazy when focused even with 30-35% thrust resists. Solo bow isnt problem. Problem is top quality premade bow squads. They just nuke you in 1sec with focus fire even if you standing in sacred ground and healer wont react on time couse there is no time. You just die.
hence why nerfing ranged damage would be healthy
We need less dmg on all weapons. But beside that i think we will see small fs nerf next patch and bigger one when it comes to bow.
there’s no evidence all weapons being too high damage, because it is currently impossible for melee weapons to catch ranged weapons before getting obliterated.
Dude there are many mele that can catch almost all light except few dex. Rapier/Spear, Spear/hatchet, Ga/Hatchet, ss/ga - many
have you tried?
Depends what build u ask and if i tried to catch who and where?
just catching any ranged dps light player as a melee? bonus points if you could kill them
You can catch mage no problem with any build, even medium whern u drunk. So whats your point?
i’ll take that as a no
If talk about range. There is no range build dude. There are many range builds and they are very different when it comes to mobility. So are mele. Even without separariting into possible weapon combination you can talk about light, medium, heavy.
You are here to cry that you cant catch light armor while playing heavy or some crap like that.
nono I’ve simply asked you if you have tried to play as a melee vs a ranged player ever, you seemingly haven’t
I cant anwert question couse its bad one. I did explain you why its bad one and you keep asking. So yea u cant get any answer rotfl.
if you haven’t played as a melee player in this game, I think your opinion on it is of less value that is all, maybe try it, see how it plays in the current patch, then bring your opinion to a balance thread.
