Solo roaming

[Pahakukka]

Heya, I know solo roaming in this game is not really recommended (if even wanted) activity, and we all talking about very small number of ppl who actively does it, BUT, i'm please to see more ppl going on offensive builds while roaming instead of defensive ones. Not all SM's wear grimmshimmer+2 fleshreders anymore, there are more offensive engi builds, not so many regen magiis (still sorry!). Even seen some WL's opt out of the regen setup where only the pet is allowed to get close to enemy. Thank you for that, you're awesome!

Its small community and niche contend and thus even more player driven. By opting to try and play more thro offense and defense, you make the solo roaming more accessible to others. If everyone is regen, nobody gets any kills in direct 1v1.

The hypocrisy and ignorance in this game's community regarding regen is amazing.

Healing debuffs should affect hp regen. Thats honestly the only change it needs.. doubt we will see this change thought since majority does not care about solo play at all

I'm surprised how solo roaming becomes a thing again because not long ago (maybe 4-5 months) if you stated that you play solo in this game, people almost crucified you for this because "this is team game yada yada".

[Pahakukka]

Its never been huge thing, but there used to be quite a few players who frequently did it. On most parts they run small groups now if they play at all. Its been very few this year probably because the the rise of gank groups on both sides. But now ppl seen to be coming back.

But yeah, still not a big thing. And if the defensive solo meta escalates much further, it likely will cease to exist completely, as likely only way to fight 1v1 against defensive setups is to have even higher sustain and greater amount of patience.

No hypocrisy, and the public's opinion is clear as a summer day. Roaming a tank with full regen, with so many defense and damage options? Well then don't be surprised that no one wants to fight with you, no one respects you and no one takes you seriously - it's a completely normal reaction. And if one day the developers decide to weaken/remove regeneration altogether, you'll be the first to run away from the server

Like Pahakukka said ... solo or small scale isn´t a big thing tbf.
But there a still ppl who enjoy this kind of play style.
And if you can´t rely on regen builds and gear you have to learn how you play your char.
And this exactly what make solo and small scale fun.
As long u don´t get overrun again and again by 1 or 2 warbands for the easy kill i enjoy it more then any other content in the game.

And i have a huge respect for the few ppl who play like this.

So please let ppl play this niche play style. Maybe one time the devs give the ppl the option to play different builds as they balance the classes. U wanna play solo? U get the tools, wanna play warband zerg? Fine, here are the tools for it. Let the ppl decide what they like and what they don´t.

The number of players have decreased in general so naturally the same with the amount of solo roamers. I agree regen ''tanks'' are generally very boring to fight against however the real tank classes( not dps class in regen) wouldn't function without some of it since they lack the mobility/range of dps or sustain of healing classes.

Regeneration gear in the solo context has been an adaptation to the oppressive nature of dot/hot classes( shamans/arch mages) and then accentuated in the stealth meta which reigned supreme for a few years, as someone who roamed a lot on the white lion i can tell you the best tactic was never regen but the use of expensive regen/absorb potions and full offense, it was the only way to overcome vs the def we which for years was the most dangerous enemy to encounter, a wl in regen would simply sacrifice too much offense and get out- tanked by the good def we's on the server ( most of which have quit, since they got nerfed)

Regarding the SM ( and chosen since they can opt for the same itemization, set bonuses etc) using a grimmershimmer or fleshrender is not a huge sacrifice to their offensive capabilities, a 5/3/shimmer build has plenty of stats(crit), regen and offense. SM can have 40% crit chance 500 regen and 9,5k wounds with a build like that.

I think not using regen on these classes more comes down to a principle or lack of knowledge in how to build a strong solo roaming build. It is almost a no brainer to be honest, however the physical classes ( need to stack weapon skill) do need to sacrifce an important set bonus if they want to use shimmer chest since they are more starved when it comes to the itemization ( superior itemization of magic classes) but the wl chest still has regen on it and provides the important set bonus for these tank classes.

I think only few people like ''Badchosen'' is running a full def build with sc def sword but these are generally ignored in 1vs1 since trying to damage them in a 1vs1 just takes too long, the definition of not fun.

Very are many solo roamers on the order side. Unfortunately, it's not supported by destro who tend to bunch up and even run boxes as full wb's. Save for an occasional regen chosen or a lowbie box runner, it's hard to find a solo destro player.
