Return of Reckoning

There is no dignity when your only purpose is to pull victims for others to kill.

Intel would be as important but not much, as we can increase this a bit and slot the intel increase tactic. Wounds can never have enough as the saying goes, and toughness has save me from being targeted in parties from WL's pounce on numerous occasions in past. At the same time my offensive side is good allowing me to kill healers quickly,
and get away quickly. Dignity is irrelevant as all situations are different in RvR im sure everyone knows, as with all classes working together as a group is most important. Casters do alot of damage (Tanks know this and we are on their list ) Or it may be my beautiful Bald Head and wonderful Magus Cologne i wear who knows Anyways my 2cents and the way i play.

This tells a lot about that player. ORvR bombing and duels 1 on 1 - it's 2 different games. Sadly you don't know it.

Magus are seen as weak between T1 and T2. Wait for T3 and T4, they'll blast everything you see apart!

When your mirror class shows up and slaps you down like you were paying for it, its hard to look twenty some odd levels forward and say "yeah, I'll be good one day."

I remember someone asking why a particular ability was moved further up in levels and the answer was that the devs didn't want them ruling everything in lower levels. But if the magus is working as intended, then engineers are wrecking the whole shop and making off with the tools along with our lunch money.

But you are telling me that in thirty levels my magus will be able to reduce an engineer to 25% in 3 globals? Dead in 4 even out of los? Okay, that's something to hang on for. It seems dubious and unbalanced but if it goes that way I will consider the groveling match it took to get there worth it.

But my theory is that the Magus endures a savage beating through t1 and into t2 for a vague advantage if any in t3 where everyone heads in their own specialty laden paths. I could be wrong, but I would be very surprised if the balance is as lopsided at t3 as it is in t1 the other way.

But maybe thems the brakes. There is only so much development to go around. T1 had its shot. You picks your class, you takes your chances. I am okay with “suck it up buttercup” but lets not pretend that the mirror isn't initially very, very warped.

The game becomes very different in t3 and IS a completely different game in t4

Engineer falls off rather heavily due to how armor level’s get with stronger gear and armor tallis

In T1 every class is king.

magus is really way better in t3...well....or in t3 with the 25-39 bracket system

this give u killing potential engi cannot match. and its important this gives u burst. BoC hits like truck and has travel time so u can use SVF+IFoC and they would hit a almost same time as BoC. count some dot ticks and you can deal pretty heavy dmg in 1-2secs

engi cannot match it. only thing they have as burst is m2 snipe + hip shot (focused fire is lvl 40 I think). thanks to M2 it hurst BUT the dmg is drasticaly reduced by armor.


offtopic - If we would have old bracket systems + old r/rr requirements for rvr armor sets I think we wouldnt see that much armor mitigation as happened when u could run t3 in invader .... or?

Nothing would change as we will have weaker weapons as well.
