Thread: Holocron, now that lunges can't be spammed, are we going to get the old damage returned to them ?
They were changed to only do a few 1-5 points damage because players were spamming those specials and effectively holding creatures outside of their melee attack range.
You said it was changed so that it "would only be used as intended" if I remember correctly ?
Lungeswon't be able tobe spammedever again since you are placing a immunity timer on targets now.
Could we get ualunge2 back in the TK trees and add the old damage back into the ualunge 1 & 2 specials.
Not just for TK but for all the brawler professions.
Raph has made it perfectly clear about how he feels towards melee classes.
"I'll tell you that ourtake as far as TKAs go is that you have some balance issues, but overall you are overpowered, not under."
"In one on one PvP combat in an open area, don't bring a knife to a gunfight. There's no other way to put it."
Raph Koster,
Creative Director
etc. Could quote more, but I can't be bothered.
With the changes to lunge timers, even if you increase the damage, the fact that we cannot stop ranged people from kiting us means that melee professions will die.
Raph has accomplished exactly what he wanted.
