After playing a full day of OPR

[halfik]

Dude there are many mele that can catch almost all light except few dex. Rapier/Spear, Spear/hatchet, Ga/Hatchet, ss/ga - many

[asharma1]

have you tried?

[halfik]

Depends what build u ask and if i tried to catch who and where?

[asharma1]

just catching any ranged dps light player as a melee? bonus points if you could kill them

[halfik]

@asharma1

just catching any ranged dps light player as a melee?

You can catch mage no problem with any build, even medium whern u drunk. So whats your point?

[asharma1]

i’ll take that as a no

[halfik]

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.

[asharma1]

nono I’ve simply asked you if you have tried to play as a melee vs a ranged player ever, you seemingly haven’t

[halfik]

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.

[asharma1]

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.

[halfik]

Ok. Two things.

1. i did play mele but u didnt ask what build u want me to answer
2. i add you to ignore list. no time for stupid ppl

[Jayypem]

Lol took you that long to realize? Him, Newb guy, and that Trick streamer bro are so horribly biased towards mage weps. Just hilariously delusional. Very easy to see why we have the combat balance we have now.

[asharma1]

yup. vaguely intelligent people might have seen these things coming but it just gets drowned out in the noise from the biased crowd…

Bow in Season 1

I can’t state this enough, bow will not be balanced in season 1 in it’s current form. No class in the game can keep up with it due to it’s haste. I expected the haste passives to change, but they remain the same. 3+ bows in an OPR have no counter, you attack one, he dodges your gap closer, runs away for faster than you can possibly catch him while the others shoot at you. Mobility and Range are so easily abused we need to see the haste become conditional, like what you have done to greatswor…

Not to toot my own horn but I saw the bow issue coming…

I wish I had tested firestaff too but I’m pretty sure people had made posts about it being too strong in PTR.

[smithernest54]

If you nerf the damage then nothing could assassinate healers. I think during the block revamp they should increase the effectiveness of blocking ranged attacks.

[asharma1]

ha, most weapons can fight healers, you just can’t because the range one tap all the melees who try… No matter how low the damage, bows and range players will always be able to get picks because of their sniping potential. The range problem is why all fights are now just homogenous blobs fighting each other as there is no flankers that can even challenge. also when ranged is toned down I’d say lifestaff is due a healing reduction tbh…

[DankHoneyOil]

Yeah? And what do you think happens when it’s a light dps + healer vs medium/heavy dps + healer? The light is going to lose or has to exit the fight.

Should lights start complaining that they can’t trade as well as heavier loadouts when healers are involved?

From a HP value trading perspective, yes a light will lose if ungabunga trading blows

But, if the light melee out positions his opponent, it’s winnable.

It really comes down to, healer survival skills and what weapons both melee use. A medium spear would destroy the light but a GA/WH is too slow to stay on top of the light melee, it’s actually a really fun fight.

Offensive healer with IG that throws Ice showers on targets or rapier fleche to slow targets wins fights.

The scenario in my mind was equally skilled players with exact builds other then weight class. The light will never kill the medium/heavy but the light just needs to get caught once before they can’t move anymore. That’s why they will lose regardless of the positioning advantage.
