RO player: Comments on warriors!

[Wodin]

Hello community.

I address to you sometimes with awesome ideias, and with very bad ideias, that are a stupid temporary out off sense from me!

Never the less i would very much like to know if the NGD devs read about it, or if they ocasionaly come to see the forum and read a thread or another!

I see that the forum is an importante link between the community and the developers, and i see that devs try to stay apart from some discussions!
I dont know if it is good or bad, but it is a stand of position, and i respect that!

By saying that, i go to the topic subject.

I have 3 chars on Alsius Horus, and 3 others in Alsius RA. I have all classes and sub-classes, from conjurer to marksman.

I must say that i enjoy playing with warriors more than any other class. I have stopped playing with marks, hunter and conjurer not because they are weak, but because i have no fun. I play a lot with my lvl 50 barb, and with my lvl 49 knight, but i cant have same amount of damage/stay alive rate that i have with my lvl 50 warlock. So, when i am alone, i play with warriors, but when it is time to help in fort wars, i have to change to warlock.

This is not a good stand, because i am in the warriors realm. So i write this lines to try to help NGD and to have some answers to my doubts from anyone that can help me!

I play for some time (not sure how much) but since then (BETA days) the game as been changed a lot. But only with warriors the changes are not made to get them balanced.

I read an NGD thread about they'r ideias of the game and first thoughts on classes, and the way they should be populating each realm (in fact i read it in spanish forum, cause i am Portuguese, and i can understand almost all in spanish language), but those are good old ideias, that can only be effective if players choice of characters would be limited to that realm need (not a good ideia because of the free choice of character). So, the ideias should be growing and adjusting to the game.

To be more specific about warriors, i read something like 30% of population should be warriors, but that is not what happens. A good ideia as gone down the drain. How can a population with 50% warriors fight with a population of 50% archers or mages? It cant! Why? Because warriors are not efective in battles as they were in the begginig of the game!

Sometimes we must take one step back to go 2 steps forward, and warriors really need to have a close look.

I dont understand why mages have 7 skill trees and warriors only 6. I dont understand why knights have constitution in 1 skill tree (stone temple), but barbarians have to waste points in 2 skill trees to get streght (letal anatomy in blunt and versatility in piercing), that knights also have access to!

Warcries is obsolet and two hand mastery is useless. In warcries, all good powers have counter side that takes away life, protection, speed or something else, in a way that does not exist in mages or archers!

With knights, the problem is other... they were ment to tank, and they did tank until some time ago, when auras were re-arranged and army of one was made vulnerable for piercing. Know, all warriors have spears for pearcing, and all archers have piercing by arrows nature! So i ask, what is army of one good for know? To fight against mages?

Scrolls are not efective on knights, because they have no damage powers, and party's are no longer efective because auras were changed!

If i am in a party with a conjurer and a barbarian or 2, it is must likely that i only have xp when heroic presence is on, because i dont make damage enough in the moobs.

With all this crap i said, i only ask NGD developers to pay some attencion to warriors class, because i see warlocks getting stronger, hunters getting stronger, etc... and warriors are getting weaker. Long goes the days where i tried to fight anyone that come in my way when i was grinding. Know, i have to run like crazy!

Sorry for the long statement!

Wudin
