That’s true. Buffs missing when swaping.
+light armor that provides no defense, just a bag of perks

“Musket iS sO e4Sy”
plays musket
gets farmed by light melee assassins / mages and other muskets because he’s bad
That’s literally the musket complainers in a nutshell right there.

They should apparently, be really tanky as light armor and can’t accept the fact that Muskets ARE one of the ultimate weapons against LIGHT ARMOR…
I’ve played since launch when heavy armor was meta and muskets did so little damage that it tickles them
Example of what the musket was back then @ 600 GS (vs med/heavy players)

Issue is in OPR try running heavy armour its literally the worst, anytime you get into a fight with any light user the second they losing they just roll away meanwhile you are stuck chasing after them like a fat slow potato so everybody just uses light armour.

Theres a reason why you will never find someone trying to block your attack in 99/99 of fights in New World. People will always dodge to iframe, never block. Blocking even a single light ranged attack takes 20 stamina, meanwhile they pump off 2 shots into you every seconds. Try and hold block button on a point in OPR and see how long your block stays up for. Then if you have your block broken you get stunned and open to any attack. Absolutely terrible mechanic.
Also the reason why bear claw/empowered blocker is the worst perk in the game. Literally will never ever get it to proc in any PVP situation.

You cant have both tankiness and mobility lmao. Heavy armor is used for point fights. Why are you making it seem like your build should fit all sizes when that’s not how the game works fundamentally?
Muskets CANNOT fight on the point as light users for example, they’ll easily die to a combination of AoE attacks that would pretty much kill them (that’s why they stay far away)

I’d say 4/5 fights are outside of point not inside the point. Or even more 9/10. You are almost always fighting on an attempt to get to a base or at baron not inside one.
Not to mention that unless you have a healer you could be wearing a loincloth for how tanky you feel in heavy armour.

Yes and OPR is all about FIGHTING ON THE POINT is it not? Are you telling me that a dex player is going to outfight you ON the point with your heavy armor? Because on my server, Zergs auto win against stacked dex teams of 5-10+ All they do is run together with healers and pretty much one-sided cap points and win the OPRs…

This time around these changes better be some hefty nerfs and not some minor tweaks that end up buffing the musket like last round.

Bow has always been my favorite weapon but I’ve been playing musket recently because its just way too good right now. Im not even a good shot per se, gear is mid at best, purple weap… still have a couple 20-3 games each day, sad thing is, thats not impressive.
Before Bow was nerfed, I used to kill muskets about ~33-50% of the time even at a decent range, now that I dropped arrow range, it’s pretty rare. I mean granted I could still use it, but then I lose damage upfront for not having Mark.

muskets can go on point, but they are legitimately the one weapon I will never blame someone for not going on point though. I go on point, but I dont play for stats I play to win… cause it will get me killed once or twice a game, but it also can be the reason people stop being bitzs and go on point …
bow players def should be going on point from time to time, I wouldnt say they should be first in but they should be able to skirmish a bit and get out.
what’s upsetting about PvP now a days is Brimstone gave dex a huge reason not to go on point… for several reasons its much more dangerous to be near a melee especially GS

If only people had imagination, maybe there wouldn’t be so much “nerf musket” threads in the forums ay? 
You shouldnt be allowed to take any part in the discussions on this forums anymore also!
Looking forward to seeing the patch notes that say the musket has been removed from the game. Please and thanks.

Thank you for acknowledging
I assume you use the musket.
Go try playing melee solo in OPR. It requires significant more effort than using the musket.
