If they make it an “always crit” perk that’s GG.
Maybe it should just directly counter the grit perk where it’s an always-on effect that does 20% extra damage on enemies with active grit. Same way GA/WH have the grit perk in their trees, but can also get it from 300Str. Dex should have something similar.
Armour pen also sounds cool, but how would it be set? 50% or 100%. It would be quite dangerous on ranges if muskets can just tear through everyone from the hilltops, so maybe it should only affect melee attacks similar to the grit perk, but that would then make ranged lose benefit. It’s a tricky one.
Yeah it could also just be mono since there are lots of weapons that can pair with it.
I think it will have skills from the Skelly and Angry Earth dagger wielders. The rush slash would be interesting if you can root someone with a trap and then go to town.
Hopefully they release another roadmap in September/October at 1 year anniversary.
I think the armor pen is the best idea but you can have different values depending if you are using a range attack vs a melee attack. Like 20% pen if melee 10%pen if range. But even then not too sure if this would be necessary.
In regards to the musket the best set up for that is with an ele gem so only half the damage would even benefit from the armor pen.
Yea i have no understanding of pvp while top 3 in every opr and war + 1 of the better pvpers on my server sure bro
And btw im going to be switching to dex now from mage. Ive already gotten a few bis pieces and its literally so much more fun than mage + just as strong + better for duels. Your aim is just garbage and you can only left click spam with a great axe let’s be honest here
this is actually a really good idea, better then passive armor pen(which I, as a filthy musket user, would love).
Call it ‘precision damage’ or something and have it apply an anti-heal that isn’t poison or disease so it can’t be neutralised immediately with purify or purifying toast. If this is applied as an ‘on hit’ it would scale up as you landed successive hits and so would not overtly favour muskets with our slow RoF. really good idea
EDIT: perhaps on hit rather then on crit? On crit would mean headshots would be even more powerful, and I’m assuming this would replace the guaranteed crit after a dodge?
damage on active grit is already a thing for spear.
having ran it with the black guard spear its nether here nore there.
also it stops working when you go against anyone not 300 str making it worthless again.
it should be armor pen.
and it should most likely be reduce enemy armor by 30% and adjust it accordingly as the con 200 is 20%
i dont care about muskets. it needs a full blow rework and this affects more builds than just that one.
no one cares about opr. its not a serious game mode.
well shouldnt it? its a head shot. on musket or bow the other red headed stepchild.
the biggest issue is that the various ranges makes its seriously difficult to balance between all dex weapons.
if the muskets remove damage falloff perk was removed and properly balanced i think this whole rock sniping issue would be a thing of the past.
edit: all else fails just split crap to balance separately, melee dex gets the armor pen, the ranged get something else that functions for both musket and bow. (imho i think head shots causing staggers would be pretty funny but broken too) but realistically probably more along the lines of a viscous perk that actually functions (more crit damage on head shots)
Its not like a bruiser just have to lmb spam to counter the stuns, but yeah we soon reaching the bruisers are weak point and dex is actually op which is just way too much of trolling.
What bb/ig meta? The meta is great axe/wh with its tripple insatiable grav well. Or running ss backbar to benefit from double weapon perks.
Oh thats a bug and doesnt count? No - if it is usable in war and doesnt get you banned it is part of the meta. Ags isnt banning everyone with an axe. Same with shield. The meta is bugged weapons.
