yep master doc seems like thats gonna be the profession combo of choise after this nerf (if it isnt already). im gonna have to drop fencer and teras kasi artist and master brawler, but i think it might be worth it, since my tka meditation line would just be switched to my doc abilities, and id drop all the defense i got from fencer and tka, and then mb isnt worth the points.


o well

Yes we are, I'm Master Sword, Master Brawler... I'm lucky enough that my friend is a master Doc, and my guild has Master Dancers and soon a Master Musician. With Full buffs on every stat, Master Sword and Master Brawler.. I'm **edit** near unstoppable, its fun to roll through killing every overt player I see. I rarely PvP unless I have buffs I kill myself with specials, if I'm forced into PvP I bleed and run using spray stick to hit mind.


With the buffs I love 2h Sword and brawler

Killing yourself with specials? I hope you're not using a PH in pvp.. My 2h axe isn't that hard on my HAM and I only use it for maybe a lunge2 or 2h hit 3 here and there. Though I do get up to around 1500 HAM with powerboost.

To answer the original poster's question.. I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe try CH and see if I enjoy that. I just hope they provide some way for us melee to remain viable post-publish defense nerf.

well the 2 hand axe is good and i use it in PVP but um..........the dmg output kinda sucks.



we are outdamage easily - so it takes us twice as long to kill because we have to use the axe due to mitigation.


we have no status effects.


we are suppose to have bleeds and dmg.


dmg we don't have cuz using the powerhammer is silly unless you have capped speed and experimented accuracy and are buffed.

Ok, Ive been hearing about this patch and how defense stats won't stack. Where has everyone been getting this information? I have serached the devtracker, anouncements and development boards and nothing in the last month is there from a SOE rep that this will happen.


I can understand nerfing the +melee/ranged and other mods like counterattack, but nerfing defense vs blind, dizzy..etc would be plain stupid.

as of publish #6 (the upcoming one) defenses will stillstack. It is RUMORED that they will be changed in the combat revamp, buts its anyones guess as to when that will go live (2 months at the earliest).
