Return of Reckoning

Another armor nerf.
The gap between light armor set bonuses with an armor pot and armor debuffs is almost nonexistent now.

Yeah, let’s make gameplay even more fun for classes with frontal burst damage.


Now instead of my zealot being left with 300 armor after the WL debuffs it I can be left ...

Make the objectives give more renown and crests than kills.
Require the team to split in some fashion to cover the objectives. Nordenwatch and Gates of Ekrund are examples of better design. Gromril Crossing has the wrong idea.
Give the losing team a buff that scales with their degree of losing ...

Remove guards. Put in a war camp buff at the spawn. Don't like getting smoked at the enemy's spawn? Don't spawn camp.

Premades should go against other premades. Add to that that the weekend scenario event should be solo queueable.

I think a better, though more difficult, approach would be to adjust how the bolster works, so twinks wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Slightly off-topic, but this is another example of a general problem with the way RoR's dev team approaches problems by addressing symptoms instead of causes ...

I have a bunch of duplicates. Items that no one would ever buy multiples of (such as multiple invader helms, sov helms, and mercenary helms).

Is there a fix coming or is this just how it is now?

One of the main issues is that the game constantly punishes the loser while rewarding the winners.

There is absolutely zero incentive to be on the losing side in any situation, RVR, keep fights, SCs - If you're on the losing side you might aswell be playing a different game entirely because ...

What would help too is to have shared Currency for Account, just differ for destro and order side.


If the group needs a tank or healer, why can't I play my tank/healer to gear up another character? Why should my progress on the character I really want to play be stunted? It's not as if you ...

I still think Engis and Magus are on the weaker side, but i don't think the issue is the class itself, but the current state of the game where more burst dmg trumps everything else. We can't have a class that can deal as much or more dmg than a mDPS but from 85ft away, that's not balanced. Back ...

Magus can do respectable aoe or single-target damage.


Ok, so how as magus do you do aoe comparable to choppa? Or say to sorc spamming Shattering Shadows with CQ + Piercing Shadows + Frozen Touch?


Put on daemonic contract. Use glean magic, pandemonium, Tzeentch's firestorm, infernal blast ...
