Why people in heavy armor are even trying to chase light dex players?
Ignore them, sit on point in a sacred ground and enjoy fighting other melees - that’s your role.
Heavy should be strong in melee fights, so that light equip load simply can’t trade with a heavy guy.
If you want to be able to kill light dexxers - play a light armor assassin build and prioritize gap closing abilities instead of AOE (reap vs maelstrom).
BOW NEED HITBOX/FIRE RATE TWEAKS, SOMETHING IN BETWEEN PRE AND POST BUFF. DO NOT NERF PEN SHOT, IT WAS LIKE THAT FOR AGES AND BOW ITSELF HAS NO OTHER UTILITY
AGS logic is weird to me:
Bow is bad, we need to buff it, OK!
buff hit box
buff fire rate
Damn, now it’s too strong?
Ok, we overturned it. We need to make it less strong.
Should i just die cause hes LA and im in HA? Dafuq is that logic?
You can not ignore them they do to much damage
its not. HA is trash right now
People are all about fair pvp and no all of a sudden its “well you play the wrong type of armor” no everything should kinda be able atleast defend themselfes.
If a HA player is able to stand still and ignore LA bow shooting at him in 1v1 u think is balanced?
Add healing circles on top of that, add maelstroms eating projectiles, iframes eating pen shots, oblivion with crazy stamina regen which means more iframes, crazy fortify and don’t forget gemstone/oakflesh.
Heavy user > > > bow user in OPR/wars as there you need to cap points.
Bow is 3rd worst weapon in arenas.
They said bow is super good in OPR? In terms of stat padding - yes. Does it have 90% win rate? No.
I know it’s frustrating when a HA user can’t do anything again a LA bow in an open field. Not
possible to run away and not possible to close gap and fight.
Balancing is hard, maybe then need to add some sort of haste ability to HA to give it more mobility in open field. For example free haste potion/free cleanse potion aka 4th ability they can activate with adequate CD.
Nullifying Oblivion: now recharges Oblivion 5…9.8…14% faster. (No longer removes limited duration buffs from enemies).
thats a buff, it removes buff and got CD reduction in next patch
this is what you need to say to you my bowboy, you are getting nerfed, and you deserve that nerf, and it will not be the last one, the aiming tgt will be reduced too so only bow users with aim and skill will remain, you should be happy
No idea what tgt means, but honestly if it is hitbox i’m quite happy since i suggested it multiple times. Then again i’m looking foward for this, so we can move on to balancing other weapons as well.
I am a bow player. I stopped playing bow 2 weeks after the buff, because it is broken OP. No fun.
But I don*t want the changes they are making now. I want the hitbox buff reverted.
ags is ridiculous. Instead of nerfing things like the arrow hitbox they instead nerf the max skill ceiling. Using a stagger properly required skill.
Now they nerfed the bow gj, but you also reduced the maximum brain cells needed to play it at its maximum potential, you need to know when to use it properly. ( time it for sword and shield jumps, or time it for healers about to heal animation, or time it for firemages starting the burn out skill ). Nerfing the poison dmg is understandable, even, nerfing the poison duration or poison area radius is understandable.
But removing a mechanic that requires skill? They clearly do not play their game. Just another shitty decision, they are slowly turning the game into childish IQ skills needed game.
But hey im gonna have another easy to hit explosive arrow skill LOL, everyone will, im no longer gonna be able to have an advantage over other people who do not use penetrating arrow effectively because it requires some braincells, not a lot, but some.
Dude I wrote two posts before these changes saying not to buff bows by increasing the hit box. That it was a good weapon in skilled hands and if they buff the hitbox it will mean every man and his dog will use it, which will inevitably lead to nerfs on dmg or other areas since they won’t revert hit box changes. Sure enough…that is exactly what has happened. Everyone told me I was been stupid so I’m happy about been proven right.
As for the stagger I agree it’s a non-issue unless 20 people with bows are all staggering you at the same time. Don’t understand why they can’t have some high skill weapons in the game.
if you end up in a 1v1 situation against a light player where you have no backup, then yes that is his domain and you either wait/call for backup or die
because thats not where you are supposed to be.
