How is my post troll?
Because if you nerf dex, you need to double their survivability. In order to hit hard with a bow or musket, you have to have specific stats, in some cases BIS and be super squishy.
If you remove the DPS from a dex player, then you have to give them additional time for the kill, this is afforded through better defense.
Truth be told. Dex are fine. The issue is the mortal empowerment ring and in some cases literal cheaters who use 3rd party cheat programs.
If dex damage gets nerfed, they will literally have no job in PVP and in the case of the musket it already does not have a job in PVE/dungeons.
The point is that when you adjust one thing, something else becomes powerful. In a class-less game, most people will chase the meta. And also people just complain on forums instead of adjusting.
And you are absolutely NOT getting 3-cap stomped by full dex teams. So even your post is inconsistent.

So you dont want people forming teams cos its not fun for you? FFS just go away
I’m not saying full dex teams are 3 capping games . It’s a result of 1 team having 10 plus bows and 0 front line and get pushed to spawn in 5-10 minutes.

Lets take a look at Great Axe / War Hammer real quick
- Empower Cap yourself by landing a few attacks,
- Fortify cap yourself whenever needed.
- Have the most CC in the game.
- The highest base damage in the game.
- The highest AOE damage in the game.
And due to the class being single attribute it is able to benefit from
- Grit on near ALL attacks
- 20% bonus armor because of 200 con
Just because people have become use to these weapons being incredibly OP, doesn’t mean they are in a good spot lmao.

I literally never said people can’t form teams . What you smoking. I said Unbalanced opr teams. Which a 100 percent fact. Every game is almost a 1000-100 or less stomp these day.

But the point is … you can’t complain that dex weapons are “over-tuned” and that you are getting 3-cap stomped in the same breath … because youa re getting stomped by coordinated bruisers/healers. Bows are selfish stat padders and they are a problem but only because the scoring system and reward system is flubbed. Bows do not win games. And the more bows that are on one team, the less likely they are to 3-cap stomp you.

I disagree, all those bis musket and bow players run rapier making them extremely difficult to lock down. Their survivability is already pretty high with rapier and 98 percent of the time they are on the other side of the map. ME Is definitely really strong but even at the start of the game the bis bows and muskets that are glass cannons still hit for 4k a shot even with no stacks and full thrust resistance. The only people who defend it are now and musket users. Full stop.

Dex might be annoying to melee, but they are not winning OPR or wars. Healers and melee win everything of significance, even in PvE.
Wars sure 100 percent, a good musket squad can 100 percent carry a opr.

No amount of time to kill is enough when someone can pot and get it all back. There is a certain threshhold that once you pass its mathematically impossible to kill that person. Thats about 6 or so hits. If 3-6 hits dont kill your target before they health pot, you simply cannot kill them.
I agree with this completely.
have you guys noticed less and less and less response from dev or forum staff? i wonder why. no updates, no nothing. something is not right. I don’t even bother posting my thoughts anymore, we’re all just posting stuff nobody on AG side will ever care to take a look at and implement solution.

I dont think this “NEWB” guys has a really good understanding of the roles and weapons so he probably is just a bit misguided and needs to learn a bit more

It’s almost like they don’t enjoy eating toxic flavored hatescream every morning. I’m not sure what it could possibly be .-.
I understand roles perfectly fine. When 1 opr team has 1 bruiser a couple healers a few mages and the rest bows and muskets all sitting in the back not playing the objective and the other team gets a some what normal comp, the game ends extremely fast it’s boring. The majority of solo players Que into opr as a ranged dex because it’s easy to play and feel like your good at the game. You guys can keep defending bows and dex in general, majority of players are on the same page. The only people defending it is bow players who probably committed to the weapon after the bow patch which is even more cringe.

Bow it’s not easy, it’s just too forgiving with the high RoF and AoEs.
You can fire at a clump and land 3 out of 10 shots and still get a high score, because high numbers make serotonin go whoosh and you end up at the upper half of the scoreboard.
I have never used bow in PVP I think mine is like level 9 or something to be honest, its my least favorite weapon type ever.
Bow is the easiet ranger weapon in the game. He hit box is the side of a barn.
