with all these FOTM fencers around grabbing all the bones and getting 500+ damage stun batons i thought a nerf of the bones might make them go away. if you don't like the idea come up with a reason to tell me why. I don't want to be randomly flamed because this is a idea.


either vote 1 or 2 or 3 here are the options.


1) NERFT teh ub3r FoTm Fencers because theypwnedme and owned my dog in PvP!!!!!!!!!!111


2) nerf the drops of the acklay bones so the acklay cannot drop greater than 200/200's


3) Do not nerf the acklay bones.


ok thank you and i vote a 2.

Thast all fine and good, not flaming here, just saying, we are supposed to be the low dmg hitters, and when we get something good going for us, plz don't shoot us down, look at CMs hitting at 96m, look at the prioities plz.

Not at all flaming, and I understand your point completely.

I picked up Fencer for the defenses, and while the Stun Baton is a handy little tool, I also agree that in some cases, they are overpowered.


On Starsider, there isn't really an 'uber' Stun Baton like I've seen on these forums. I think the max one I've seen (and felt) in PvP was some 450-500ish, but that was only once. Most are in the 300-400 range, which is decent.


Generally speaking, with a 200 acklay bone, you're making a good weapon that allows you to take someone out about as fast as anyone else with another template (who is smart about it) can. So I don't really mind not having those "Legendary" drops.


As for CMs, it's a lost cause to bring them into this. We all know of the imbalance, and I believe it's being addressed soon.

3!

Stun Baton has no AP so get yourself some stun armor and it will suck. if you have the right armor, fencers only weapon is the vibro blade which with high kinetic won't be that effective either

i would vote a 2...even though i'm not very far into fencer, the idea that a fencer can od a heavy swordsman errr...swordsman just doesn't seem right. I keep hearing of these 500 damage stun batons when my powerhammer is only does 535 or so. And please don't take this as a bash to fencers(otherwise i'd be bashing myself)i am just trying to make a point.



If a Rifleman can't kill it...then a Swordsman can

I like this post. Someone calling for a possible nerf, but doing it in a mature reason that offers an explanation of why, and of possible solutions. Very nice idea.



I'd have to say 2. I'm currently 3412, going to master, and keeping it, but the stuff that I see myself able to do, even at a low level, with a 340 max baton at 2.5 speed, it's bad. I'll grant the last post though, if the opponent has stun armor, buffs synthsteak, and even a PSG, the fight isn't much for us, but still, think of how expensive that is for the average gamer. Many people have these supplies, but many can't afford them either. With such weapons, it becomes a game of "who has the most money?". So I'd say 2, nerf them so they aren't sooooooo powerful, but so that they're still good enough to be worth getting.

Better idea.

Take Combat Medic poisen/disease and give them a 75% damage reduction.

Reduce Acklay bone effectiveness SLIGHTLY.

Make Fencers beatable by evening the profession defenses with other profesions, as well as their insane and might I say cheap dodge.

Gotta love all the complaints from non-fencers. The whole point of the profession is to be defensive in nature, not an offensive powerhouse. If you want that, go TKM, MHS, or Rifleman. And as for the bones..the rarity of anything over 200 is way up there. The set of bones I have is 113 min/131 max, so that's not exactly going to set anyone ablaze.


So why should they be nerfed? A weaponsmith can put those in a power hammer just as easily, and I don't see anyone complaining about that. Sure, we get stun damage, but with what? No armor piercing, and with everyone wearing stun armor and PSG's, we do diddly. Almost be better off using my gaffi in PvP.


So, you asked for a vote, and here's mine..
