Heyo Lads,
after careful consideration ive decided to say a few things about my favourite class, the bald Man with the Hammer. Ive done my fair share of solo RvR roaming in the last month and came to the conclusion that there are classes that i am just unable to beat and ive started to wonder why this is the case for i believe every Order class should be able to compete with every Destro Class or atleast have somewhat of a fighting chance.
Since in dont play the WP as conventional healer but rather as Grace/Wrath WP ive realised that this class is outstandingly good when it comes to 1vs1 other Melee Classes...then theres ranged DPS and i count Shamans as ranged DPS. Now to the issue, i, as a Warrior Priest, have no means of closing the distance to any ranged DPS in any way, my one and only ranged attack (not counting Smite) which is Judgement does some average damage to ranged Classes but healers just shrug it off and outheal any damage done to them. The only way for me to keep the distance close between me and my Target is Weight of Guilt which is a MELEE attack, so i gotta get close to my target FIRST.
So what im saying, i am a free kill to some ranged Classes/Casters, especially Shamans, i might stand a chance against an average Squiggie if i spam Judgement fast enough but i have no means to engage in Melee. Today while browsing the Forum ive learned that Judgement once had the ability to regenerate Righteous Fury or/and Snare and my question is, why the heck was that removed ? When first playing this Game i believed the Warrior Priest is so badshit insane that he must have some kind of charge ability like the White Lion or Choppa but i was very disappointed to learn that this is not the case. Now i am standing here in some random RvR area trying to fight Shamans which is successful 0/10 Times for obvious reason and i believe that there are some major balancing issues for it should not be normal that some classes are just free kills for other classes.
I may be completely mistaken with my opinion or high as a kite but i believe that the WP is in dire need of a tool/ability to close the distance to Casters/Ranged DPS. I mean on the other hand, alot of Casters have the ability to push themselves away, push me away, slow me, snare me, so even if manage to get close they have all the means to get away again and that is so not cash money bling bling.
Best Regards

Re: Bald Man wants to get closer to your location
10000% Agreed, no clue why they removed it at all. Only excuses i heard was that WP isnt a solo class and is a heal, but it also applies to Shaman, only difference is that he is ranged an is good for solo.Ronny wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 3:27 pm Heyo Lads,

Re: Bald Man wants to get closer to your location
I swear these forums are drowning in solo requests, solo complaints, solo discussions.
Is this really what RoR is becoming? Did we really scare all the warband players away with all the changes?
You are not meant to be able to handle all classes on your own. Because this is a team game. You should have a mdps that closes the gap and snares the target for you.
Reason why WP can't be good against ranged is, and i quote here, "this class is outstandingly good when it comes to 1vs1 other Melee Classes".
If you choose to play solo accept that you will be "outstanding" in some situations, and dog meat in others.

Re: Bald Man wants to get closer to your location
The game is not balanced around solo play, and any semblance of balance that might happen in some 1v1 match-ups is mostly by accident. The game is built around the trinity of tanks, healing and damage. The Shaman can do 2 out of 3 (healing and damage) with its ranged spec, while you are sitting there 100ft away unable to do anything.

We had the perfect solution for the class with the short-duration RF-powered snare on Judgment, and then it was taken away from us.

Let's add a gap closer to DoK as well then while we're at it.

Re: Bald Man wants to get closer to your location
Well i gotta say everybody here is right, no this game is certainly not centered around solo roaming, thats something i didnt keep in mind.
Zulnam is absolutely correct, i can beat some classes with some effort and against others i dont stand a Chance. Now i want to talk about something ive seen today, not for the first time but that is a regular occurence. Five Order Players trying to kill one Shaman...we killed him but it was a massive effort just to bring down ONE and i repeat ONE green magical Boy, that just cant be right. To be a hundred percent honest, i mentioned "ranged Classes" in my original Post, by ranged classes i exclusively mean Shamans and Squiggies, all other Casters/Ranged are somewhat doable but these two classes are too much to handle.
While this is not a sole roaming game nor is it meant to be one i still think some classes have way more potential to actually fight solo than others do and this comes across as somewhat unfair in my opinion but this is from the perspective of an Order only Player. I am pretty sure Destros have enough to complain about Order Classes aswell, i just wanted to leave my honest opinion about this Topic here and i appreciate the constructive comments.

Re: Bald Man wants to get closer to your location
Destruction has no complaints that are valid.... their classes are pretty much well catered to group and SOLO. ORDER lacks in the SOLO this department. they know it, just aren't going to admit something they are enjoying and that is killing off eager order that love their side and want to play. sad story, truly a sad story.Ronny wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2024 5:36 pm Well i gotta say everybody here is right, no this game is certainly not centered around solo roaming, thats something i didnt keep in mind.
