Thread: hey Gorecki, do you know the justification for the -30 accuracy for the powerhammer?

well the way i see it - fighting certain creatures - other more accurate classes land their hits all the time thereby killing much faster than we do with the powerhammer.
No way. No way at all. Powerhammer simply annihilates mobs. It's not much use till you hit master but then it simply rules. I've rolled -8000 head hits on NPCs with this thing. It's just sick and I love it.
PvP your best bet is the two-handed axe against opponents with high melee d.
Then again, combat's getting overhauled anyhow.
But if it had sick accuracy with sick damage, then everyone would be using one and not just master swords.

hmmm
sometimes....
i still see TK's kill faster than we do because we miss so **edit** much.
in pve it's not a huge deal except you don't get the loot.
in pvp it is a huge deal because if you miss more than once you usually die, especially using our only decent attack - the bleeds.
or more often than not you use lunge2 to get a kiter down and you get
miss
miss
and they are back up and running
"Everyadvantage (damage) comes with a tradeoff and accuracy being one of the tradeoffs in this case makes sense to me." - gorecki
unless you'e a TK right? haha
i mean putting up with our horrible defense is one thing, and putting up with the lag of the hammer is ok - but missing is just weak sauce.
if we get powerful damage we need to be able to hit with it! or its worthless.
yes maybe the new combat will change everything - and from what i can tell they are changing all the speeds - which is going to be intresting and proably bad for us.
