SW feedback 2026/7/23 Patch Nite

[Farrul]

It does hit quite a bit lower than SW by himself

I don't think you realize the quality difference between these two races. I was being gentle with the 50% ,

It is all based on.

No distinction was ever made ''there'', hence its '' based on ''.

Teefz doesnt deserve any of this hate.

Ofc he doesn’t deserve it, he will keep gathering ppl like those, full of hate and 0 knowledge, only for being one of the most talented players in this server.

Are you one of those 3 healers that always follows him round?

What i do or not shouldn’t be interesting to anyone, but lets take the bait: 3 healers?? i guess pots now are considered as a real player.
Fake news are out of control.

I am starting to think you actually are one of the healers

Read again abilities from both class, you are still missing a lot of things.

What specifically is missing in this example? It was clear.

What is fair about RSH able to use extra armor mode in def and RSW losing this capability?

Sure they get extra armor but lose all the range abilities while RSW still can use them in top of aoe detaunt to buy some second for your support to help you.

You do realize 98% of all ranged SW abilities are disabled in Assault stance ( including auto attacks) ?

Don't kid yourself, SW use Assault stance for one main purpose , to survive when enganged/locked in melee, or if specced assault. Skirm/assault with guerilla training to gain permanent speed 20% increase using spiral fletched arrow is now also a thing of the past.

So in the end, RSW now lost its defensive tools, RSH? Still has way better defensive utility tools, where is SW ''Kaboom'' etc.

This patch feels like a disaster for RSW tbh. My only glimmer of hope is to try out the ASW in a real combat context( PTR is too limited). Otherwise it will be another class to abandon, unfortunately ( wasn't main class, but still).

P.S. The loss of armor affects more than just the Assault spec per se, i wonder if the Devs even thought about it. There is the new detaunt but CD ability with 5 sec uptime, RSW just lost any passive defense when under pressure, squishy and with the added removal of Disarm, this is really grim.

That’s the guy that feels magus is mid tier on PTS.

Says all you need to know.
