Pikeman Archive

Well, went to fort tusken to try out my new mitigation skills. I am a 4343 pikeman, and master ranger. I got spanked like a red headed step child.

I was getting hits of 1400+ to my head, and bleeds that took all my strength. One fight against a captain. Muon Gold, and 2 Sunburns didn't help at all.

I am losing hope for this game. One letdown after another.

I don't think it was you.

I noticed today that the Tuskens got a nice boost in the patch. They bleed, blind and stun like crazy now. They seem to hit more often (or I am getting hit more often), and wounds are way up. At one point I looked and every single member of my group was bleeding, and a couple were blind too. Granted this was during a level II and III fort surge, but still. They must have gotten a sharpening stone in their Christmas stockings.

The damage I was dealing semed more like PvP, in that no one was dropping very fast. As a Master of 2 melee combat, you would think I'd get hit less, and damage mitigate well, but no. The Fort is no longer a place for easy xp.

Tuskan Fort got ungodly buffed as of this patch.

I was there this morning with a huge group, even with a doc buffing us, we died in all but 15 mins... no one wanted to go back. Stage 3 tuskans seemed to be spawning every round with the exception of a few commoners and raiders here and there.

Even when I was fighting the stage one tuskans (commoners and raiders) I got owned from their bleeds and mind hits, something that never happened in all my nights before there.

I would not go there unless you had a death wish lol.

Drat, the fort was the only place I could get good commando xp from without a pet or a group.

Hopefully this is intended (remember they said some things would seem too easy and others too tough untill the new weapons changes go live)
