You still used sns and btw you are tanky af did you have healer or something?
You have entire skill trees devoted to chasing people down, you have video evidence of me running PAST light users without even using abilities, and you still sit here and cry about how hard life is for the poor melee users.

running around for 40 mins with a 10% movement speed food buff while using 2 weapons with gap closers and going 10-4 and telling people to get good.
smh.
Balance all weapons or this game will have 5k people before the end of the summer
OMG are we back on this again? Maybe follow the conversation a little bit? because at no point has it ever been about whether or not I am good. It’s about people saying it’s impossible for heavy armor to catch light armor.
Jesus you people are exhausting… I’m about done with this.
You are all right, every last person on Castle of Steel sucks… OPR, Arenas, they all suck and only on Castle of Steel can heavy armor chase down light armor. Hope you all got your transfer tokens cuz it’s easy pickins over here, apparently.

Yeah the clips of me waltzing through mobs of enemies desperately trying to cc and attack me, completely ignoring them, while I hunt down some light asshat just to prove a point, sure makes heavy armor look weak. Please AGS, throw us poor poor melee heavies some buffs! 
Here’s another clip of my trash build… if only I had some abilities to help catch people right?

Im pretty sure when they say heavy bruiser they mean heavy ga/wh

And in return melee guys deal almost twice the damage with basic attacks, have grit and weapons with gap closers. Rest falls down to stamina management, positioning (not burning through your skills all at once like a lot of people do), proper builds (not just spamming GA/WH which isnt a proper setup to gap close consistently unless vs noobs) and using brains. Oh dear
I have an answer to that. Skill ceilling for melee guys (specifically GA/WH sweatlords) is finnaly above their fuckin waist and they cannot adjust their ooga booga mindset and builds to the meta shift like all other classes had to multiple times. Mentality issue more than anything else.
Every 4/10 of melees on my server.

Bro don’t laugh… let them buff heavy armor… please
Then will be the time to laugh 
yeah i put my hammer in the bank, no more burst with grav well and iframing shockwave is too easy.
picked up a shield as well and spent some money on some gear (100k~).
not everyone enjoys changing their playstyle 180 degrees each patch or has the resources to do it. i was really enjoying the hammer, and i definitely feel like it got inadvertently nerfed to death.
sure @mikemayhem we can play assassin in heavy, but we dont do a very good job in comparison to the light guys, or guys with spears and that is just a fact, even with the 10% move speed food watching you waddle around opr was pretty cringe and hearing u tell people to get good is even more cringe.
and a lot of those clips was just helping your team secure kills. appreciate the work mikey
if i get slotted in a war im going full point tank, cant be bothered to feel useless running ga/wh
I play med bruiser ga/wh and i think after these dodge changes im selling myself by not going heavy as they seem to have the same amount of mobility on dodge.

I’ve had to switch from heavy at launch to medium. Now medium the past couple of weeks to light armor bruiser build.
Armor balance is very poor atm for pvp. If I played the same build in heavy I would have had nowhere near this result. I do 0-2 opr matches per day so im not in there all the time. This was my second match from yesterday. More of an outlier for me. Normally im around 10-1 or 10-2 with light armor sword + hatchet.
This game was the first time I tried a new build with sword + great axe I believe. Wish it showed my damage instead of healing…but melee med and hvy is dead on Valhalla besides for full CON sword tanks that try to block doorways.

I think you didnt read my post in full so I’ll leave it at that when it comes to your arguments about melee specifically because I dont like to repeat myself too often.
Although I do agree with the fact that the armor balance is shit atm. However buffing heavy armor is mos def not the answer.
If anything this whole system needs a rework with more differences, pros and cons between the armor sets other than damage dealt, received and dodge types.
However before that should be addressed the game is in a desparate need of more content and a complete rework of war and territory system and also the bb issue.
I did, you talked about melee’s not being able to adjust their builds. I showed proof that I have and statement of why I had to for gear and weapons due to light armor kiting being op. Evolve or die etc.
Jesus… ok once more for good measure
Light armor kiting is not op. Its just that you can no longer W them with GA/WH changes (which AT LONG LAST makes this build no longer universal for every scenario and Z tier for any melee player) and armor type has nothing to do with it as it was already proven in this thread that you can close gaps no matter what armor you wear vs light armor guys. If you cant then thats just a you problem, not the balancing.
Its also funny how people that otp melee str builds complain about lack of variety in weapon choices for str builds but when the meta shift gives them the opportunity to change their builds and adapt their playstyle to what they actually want to achieve (other than being the best at everything) their minds have bluscreens and they choose to rant instead.

Light armor kiting has been railed as op by everyone except some rolly polly boys. You’re not being honest how many situations you can avoid with light armor.
I use it now too for opr arenas and wars even with melee weapons because it is superior.
I did an all time high melee bruiser damage for myself last night in war with 929k damage done in light armor with a janky low gs build with only a few useful percs.
Devs just nerfed LA due to it being op in prior patches. Been listening to New World To Go podcast. They also love light armor but admit it was too strong and the kiting needed to be curbed.
The playstyle is fun. Not trying to take it away. Imo all armors should receive the dodge roll as it is so much fun to play around with. Just change the frequency allowed.

One players anectdotal experience doesnt weigh well against all of the logs of light armor users dominating the leaderboards in every competitive mode of content.
Could you please remind me how many times GA/WH users actually had to change in 180 degrees (which is clearly an exaggaretion born from the rant)? Other than replacing one skill with another from time to time since the release.
And please dont say buying other armor pieces or I’ll crack up xD

Thats again a separate problem because OPR point system is prioritizing damage and kill participation over other things. And yes obviously light armor builds do most damage. Anything else that you need a reality check on?
I am not using light armor and I do deal with them and I dont have issues with it.
Says you.
So what now you want to match those numbers in high armor is that it? Survivability or damage - pick one and move on.
I can somewhat agree with the rest of that. Somehwat
