Fencer Archive

We all hear rumors, some are pretty solid, seems like we can probably count on a couple of things.

Buffs may get nerfed.

Specials can't be spammed.

Armor may be nerfed.

Toughness is going away.

While I 100% agree that something needs done, the game is out of balance and with buffs and armor, very few places are deadly.

My concern is this, in our hunting group, I am "The Tank," lets take hunting Nightsisters for example. I taunt them on me, while the others kill, I can't really hurt the Elder, but if I keep her Intimidated, the damage is acceptable.

However, lower my toughness, weaken my armor, lower my buffs, and slow down how often I can Intimidate and Center of Being we have a totally different story. I'm toast.

The game needs Tanks, we need to be able to Tank, we WANT to Tank, that is why we are Fencers.

Couple of options as I see it.

1. Since we will get hit harder, we need to get hit less. Raise our dodge and such. This could create problems for PVP though.

2. Monsters get "adjusted" during the combat revamp as well. Current content is based upon current armor and buffs. While some may be ok, much of the higher level content may need to be tweaked a little, probably just bring their accuracy down.

I like option 2 the best. It allows defensive classes to tank still, it will hurt like hell when we get hit, but hopefully that wont be often.

Minerunner, I'm sure the Combat Revamp is in development and planning now, can you please ensure these concerns are at least considered.

Thank you,

Don't fear,

While I see the need for some of these issues to be addressed it is certainly my primary goal to make us more viable for that purpose, and to see that such changes do not go without a full understanding of how it will effect all aspects.

One thing that is getting too little attention is PVE balance, most players vocal concerns are for the balance of PVP, and haven't been takeing into account what effect that will have on PVE Content.

So I've taken upon the task of acting as the voice of reason.
