I was just curious if u know what the 'hard cap' will be on defences in upcoming publish?

Quite important change this i think; combine this with fixing the riflemen melee bug then perhaps we wont have 'unhittables'.

But if they completely nail defence stacking its gonna be a bunch of combat/healers.

Im hoping it will be round my mark (186) - people miss and hit me a lot.

On this note certain classes (like Swordsmen and COmmando) need better accuracy, while there a bunch such as BH need a heap of defence to compete with stackers.

Anyways? point of the post: Gunman do you have any idea what the 'hard cap' will be?

just curious

I know what the hard cap will be but I'm not sure I was given permission to post it....I'll have to go back and look. It's not going to be too restrictive though, just enough to get the seemingly un-hittible templates hittable again.

So what you're saying is that defense stackers (like myself) will still find it viable to dabble other professions?

i really hope its a high cap - like i said i agree with the cap - because there are ppl close to unhittable - but defence stacking is a great way to be the best pikemen u can be.

sounds hopeful tho

cheers for the loose answer Gunman, hope u r allowed to be specific.

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again. It isn't the melee/ranged stacking that is making people unhittable, its the dodge/block/counterattack stackers.

Right now I've got 184 melee defense and 154 ranged defense. I get hit. I get hit plenty.

Now I fight a guy who has mastered fencer and has some pistol in him. I can't hit that guy with any weapon. I can't even hit that guy with my bare hands and I've got mass unarmed accuracy.

The stacked dodge is the nastiest thing in this game.

yeah i have 186/186 and i get hit plenty. sure it helps and some classes with little accuracy are screwd against me(they obviously need accuracy increases), but i am definetly hittable. I tested out my -54(pre'nerf')lva against a TKA - he had 166 or 176 defence, and i was hitting him easy, other days i fight a fencer/pistoleer and i cant touch him, and riflemen with that bug can be might difficult to hit if they have over 200 melee defence.

fix the bug, stop dodge stacking and we probably be sorted, maybe cap at 200 or something(not sure havent done tested on someone with 220 defence).

i get so many tells.... 'i can't wait till stacking is nerfed'

where a lot of these players just plain suck, and a lot of players play broken classes(i feel for those ones), and a lot of players like selling stuff so arent all combat

and i ramble

Sure i read on another forum 125 cap

125 would be a complete waste of time - everybody would be able to hit all the time - be constant auto hits - i will have more faith than that and see what happens.

It was my understandingthat each elite melee profession will have different hard capsof maximum allowed defense stacking. My guess is TKA will have like say+250 tomelee defense, Fencer some less and pikeMan will with swordsMan get around +50.I hope they don't neglect us on this one as well.

Ok Braglor, how come you can be sarcastic and funny and get away with it, yet I try the same thing and get flamed?

Maybe everyone is hot for your goods?
