Is this trade-off going to be the change that will "provide strong resistance against higher damage dealers, such as barbarians."?


You can't be really serious. This update is just forcing knights going to play Knarb instead Tank + Support. Huge minus from me.

Well yea, they added a really nice support spell with the absorb one. But at the same time they improved knarbing by a lot.

When i tested def stance against marks today, it was really bad imo. It was a marks with quite bad gear, no wm jewelry and bad weapons. He did hit me around 130 thru def stance.
Only with def stance + caution 5 + deflecting barrier i was able to get it down to around 60.
Also just using sudden strike already increased the damage a lot.

That's still more than he would hit me with his gear on the current system with def stance alone.

Meanwhile tanking against barbs didn't improve by much either.

I feel like only way to properly tank now is to get the duration amu and pb 5 and rotate pb - ao1 - pb. And prolly block on a high lvl too and hope to be lucky. Gonna be really mana expensive.

Conjus will have one more class to take care of from now on.

And knarbs will have some fun in 1v1s etc.

Edit: Fort wars will be still fine probably. I think big scale open field will be a lot harder for knights though.

Now you made this twice as worse. Pls just remove this spell, its boring and stupid. Hunters should simply not have it, nor will it do any good for the game. Why give them their 35 range back? thats what youre basically doing, and i actually want to make my pet useful for once

No more 60 normal's on knights? Incredible

[MDpro]

Just replace Troll's Skin with the Knight's Haste spell and call it a day. No changes to knight's passive def or Def Stance is needed. The SW/SS range increase is good too, although I'd rather see Deflecting Barrier have the range increase instead.

Finally no more GOD mode against mages and archers as knight

Darkness was already nerfed, so was confuse. Nerfing them even further will make them just useless imho

What makes me wonder is...Which spell(s) will warlocks drop to get those buffed-up old ones

If DI will be nerfed then Darkness must be nerfed too. And you can't compare darkness with confuse, it is far more op.

DI (actually DI barbs) needs nerf and that fact is independent on darkness. Darkness got already huge nerf and it's still dispellable by PA. Darkness getting nerfed further would lead just to locks remove it from their setups.

DI should be situational spell with maximum 20 sec duration but at the same time with lower cooldown 40/50.
I don't mind with lower duration of Darkness or Confuse but only if casting time will be shorter+global cooldown short/v short... it could make game more dynamic and fun.
About MS... 100% would be cool but only for an ally buffs with different cooldown per skill lvl... for example 80/70/60/50/40 sec.
Imo dispel needs some changes as well. Same as MS, 100% chance but with longer cooldown per power point levels: 35/30/25/20/15.
I don't know why NGD doesn't want to get rid of spells that are affected by randomness. At least they changed UM ;o
