So is Tasos playing a skirmisher? Is that why he hold their hands?
Warriors they seem to make more or less useless with the new changes to both -
- Stoic Defense
- 80% slower casting
- 20% less duration
- 25% higher Mana cost
- Spellbane
- 30% less Protection Bonus
- 50% higher Mana cost
Do Aventurine even test what their changes actually mean to the balance of the game? I very much doubt these clowns know what they're doing, very much amateurs at play over at Aventurine.
And mages will pretty much kill anything in there way after these changes although i agree they needed some love.

- If all players are excluded the round robin system will be disabled and the player who gave the last hit will get also the kill.
- Every time the leader includes/excludes a member from the round robin system all the players will get a chat message, and the round robin button related to this player will become grayed out.

Comments
I play a Primalist, and I think you're being overly dramatic.
Warriors will continue to be the all-around strongest class in the game.
Elementalists needed the spell cost reduction.
If Skirmishers are so OP, why don't you play one?
Mages were out of mana almost immediately prior to patch, so yeah they needed a fix.
The warrior nerf i still dont get. i can see the mana cost changes but not the duration nerf.
Skirms are ok only because they can dictate the fight's pace, but like every other game almost EVER, they are good at killing squishy primalist, and most skill-less mages, thats about it. If you are a warrior and you die to a skirm, you should really consider changing classes.
I prefer play warrior and it is up to Aventurine to balance the classes.
DFUW is a joke when it comes to balance if you compare with for example UO.
Warriors have never been the all-arround strongest class, thats skirmishers.
And i agree elementalist needed the boost.
Not sure I agree there. Playing on my clanmates alt at time I shit on a skirm 1 v 1 IF they stick around to fight. Otherwise most of the time the skirm just has to bail and retreat or get shit on but they should rarely beat a warrior 1 on 1 - they almost always have to run away and of course do escape no problems.
The new content is just extraordinary. Trolls, nalaeds, and some boss. Apparently, nothing good, and about the equivalent to one of the beginner type dungeons in DF1. It took AV this long to come out with "new content" that's supposedly been finished for months and months, and it's this garbage?
Congrats, AV.
No matter how much great pvp there is to be had, this guy ain't resubbing.
I dont understand why you are personally attacking me. I do not play as a Skirm.
I only repeat what EVERYONE else in multiple clans have said "If you lose as a warrior to a skirm, you are doing something DRASTICALLY wrong". MY warrior has only lost to one Skirm, and it was in a duel where my own inexperience cost me the fight.
Warriors do not lose to Skirms, just LOS him and wait for him to come close, they never will do that though, they will just run. Skirm can only kite a warrior, and if the warrior allows himself to be kited, it's his OWN fault and he deserves to lose.

Perhaps you should actually PLAY darkfall or visit the actual game's forum before spewing out personal attacks and lies. A skilled Skirm will beat an inexperienced Warrior anyday, but 2 players of equal skill level, the Warrior will win unless it is a complete open field.
P.S. it's "lose"
not "loose"
Warriors loose to skirmishers all the time if played well on both parts. Thats how poorly balanced the game is. Anyone claiming anything else just dont know the game.
Sorry, you loose.
This thread is "Epic Loose"

All roles are OP in something, that's what makes the roles different.
Skirms have mobility
Warriors have insane health, high defense, a movement skill, invulnerability, reflects...also a majority of the server are warriors
Elementalist have crazy damage and a skill that sucks stam dry in a few shots, making any class useless.
primalists have heals and support and a bubble
Learn to play and fight a good *insert underpowered class* and see how you have no idea what you are talking about.
WHen theres multiple threads complaining about each role being over powerd...you know theres balance. I still think warriors are a bit on the OP side, as does a majority of the server, and that's really because of the strength booster paired with their abilities.
I agree with this guy... it's Warriors that are OP if anythng. If a skirm doesn't die to a warr it's because he ran away...
