I changed it around a little, I liked Souldburner's ideas. Much smaller list then before, I was repeating a few things in the last one. Feel free to list your ideas. If you see an idea you dont like give a good reason and we'll discuss it somehow.

1) Different kinds of damage types, like Cold, Stun, Energy, Electricity and another dmg type that does not exist yet.

I think we're doing OK with having blast and kinetic but other dmg types would be welcome if they were done with realistic and suitible weapons. This isn't EQ or Diablo no magic swords that do cold damage.

2) New weapons with Ap3.

Again tough to justify fencers get ap0 tka get ap1 we get ap2 and polearm get ap3.

3) More two-handed toughness.

I might be wrong but don't we get like 2nd best toughness ?

4) Make sweep 1stun one target and sweep two stun multiple targets.

Agreed to a point I think sweeps need to be changed into something not sure what, having a stun would help us though.

5) Change the name of counterattack unless we are actually going to start returning damage to the target when we are hit.

I would like counterattack to actually attack too.

6) More Accuracy. If we dont get this the stun effectcan help.

Not sure about this, I think a lot of professions complain about this.

7) Knockdown would be nice. It does make sense that a 10lbs hammer can knock someone down.

I thought I would be cool if sweeps did knockdown the animation fits with that.

8) More def vs states, we are tanks we shouldnt be very easily kd/dizzied or stunned.

Agreed defense vs intimidate too.

9) All melee prof should get some type of meditate and power boost, I think that the tks should be able to heal their primary wounds, not secondary,and Battle Fatigue, Fencers Enhance theirSpeed and dodge, Pikeman Enhance theirAccuracy and Block, Swordsman enhance their Toughness and Damage

Interesting idea but your being a bit bias there shouldn't ours be enhance counter attack and damage ?

10) Melee2hUtterDevastation1 and 2.Give Pikemen more AE, their weapons are far more suitable to twirl round and hit multiple enemies. A Swordsman is best at working a single opponent to the ground and finishing him off completely in the fewest moves possible, better then any other class.

We have got two handed hit 3. But it seems that people do want some sort of power attack and I agree we are lacking in interesting specials and nobody else really has some sort of complicated power attack. Maybe an attack that works like a one off berserk hit.

Nerf List

1) Our speed would be ok to change, we are heavy swordsman its not very easy to swing a 100lbs hammer left and right. But we should see way more dmg if this happens.

Nah our DPS is pretty low already no slower please. No need to ask for nerfs.

I would also add do something with spin attack. No point in having spin attacks and area attacks.

glad you liked my suggestions jedika

but a cold damage weapon would be cool, (a few people have said this exact thing before) but a sword (or other heavy two handed weapon) with a cryo generator in it's hilt (or handle, or inside of the head of the weapon) would be a realistic/futureistic way to have a cold damage weapon. same goes for heat, just have a heater core, or a heat generation device inside of the weapon somewhere.

I would love a cold attack sword but I think the devs would laugh at us if we can't come up with something better.

Are there any swords in EU comics or such which are like this. That would help us get a new sword I still think we should focus on specials though as thats where we're most lacking we just got a new sword.
