Took part in my first spar today. It went... well?
(Lol, I can't draw a straight line)
And someone earned hisself laureate status with it!
You read what is written on an elegant white letter:
Chiam,
Evil always takes care of its own.
This letter is made of the finest quality paper, and is rolled into a cylinder, with a red
ribbon to keep it from unfurling.
It has 9 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 1 ounce(s).
An elegant white letter is holding:
100000 gold sovereigns.
It contains a total of 1 items of a max of 6.
Whoever it is, thank you - It will help me much. Either that, or I'm infamously poor. (asking for discounts and loans etc)
....this is the second time I've gotten one of those, and I still have nothing to use it on and no plans to acquire something to use it on.
After the counterraid, ended up with my first relic, Lifegiver.
Someone in Hashan jumps on an alt so they can kill me for it (welcome to Hashan)
Realized Hirst was chasing me sometime later, sat in NI to solo him.
Struggled to kill him but I didn't die so it was going well, until some Targies showed up, so I bailed.
A-team busts into Hashan to snatch the relic from me. Thought it was just @Jhui, since the telepathy stuff was all I saw, so I actually tried to mind travel, but a mono was down. Was really hoping for a 1v1 with whoever, really hoping for Jhui, but I guess relic-collecting more important. Was still interesting, anyways.
Overall pretty good day.
Its Hashan, for fuck's sake. If you're gonna pull out all the stops to fight us, you're just assholes.
Dude I took on Jhui the staff holding omni artied A-team leading epic-monk in a super awesome (10 second long) battle of the ages!!!

Very standard Bard rapier, noticeably faster (~0.35-0.5s quicker than BM (outside of Thyr [which is lower than unstanced]) and doing not far off double the damage (Discounting Arash). Bearing in mind, it's a Mhun Knight so 8% is actually substantially more than 4/5%.
So. Slight damage increase, please?
Take Jhui's advice and pretend it's call of duty. Experience doesn't matter unless you drop past like level 80. Now if it ends up griefy that's of course different but does a gank here and there really hurt anyone?
Its about... say, the Green Bay Packers have a game with Newbsville High School, and when the refs have their backs to them, they're holding and roughing the passer and doing pass interference.
It would also be really nice if the fuckTargs would fuck off and not just pile their shit on top of what Eleusis is laying down already.
Cynlael said: This is what ooc clans are for.
Edit: Also for the record according the my previous statement i'd just like to say the best ganks are not the ones that make you rage and scream trash, but the ones that make you stop and laugh
It's quite a fair comparison. You can't really justify the nearly 2x damage gap between Bard/BM in any way, when they're on essentially even footing with one another. (trans'd relevant skills, baseline stats, unartied) my rapier is maybe 4-8 points at most, higher damage than standard rapiers at 231 speed. That's not enough to make -that- big of a damage leap. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see which classlead changes actually make it through.
In other words i'd wait for all the changes to take into effect before looking to seriously.
Also for the record as a runewarden I was doing more dps than strength spec every artie monk was excluding crits of course, (because im 84 and they are like.. 99+)
And if I remember correctly Reonna (12 strength) Arash lv3 band Drawslash was coming in at about 301-309 dps. Which is pretty good honestly. since your previous overpowered artied and back monks were around 350-360 iirc
Also, if you notice from Sena's list those are all classes that use weaponry as bashing attacks. My guess is weapons are planning to be downgraded all around.
Annnd no Bm doesn't count as weaponry it's mostly just a stick that rply allows you to use your abilities.
I haven't tested blademaster damage yet, but if current unstanced damage is roughly equal to old Arash damage (that's what it sounds like from the announce), then blademasters are roughly on par (just in terms of dps) with alchemists, apostates, druids, jesters (unartied), magi, occultists, priests (unartied), sentinels, shamans, and sylvans. All of those classes are somewhere around 150 base dps (trans, 12 str/int, no nimble/quick-witted, unartied), 200 offensive spec (trans, 16 str/int, nimble/quick-witted, unartied), and 320 fully artied dps.
For bards/knights though, you can reach the base dps with trash rapiers (something like 70/195 or 58/211 for bards, 70/187 or 58/203 for knights), offensive spec dps with those same crappy rapiers, and fully artied dps with rapiers that are good, but not amazing (around 78/227 or 70/235 for bards, 82/231 or 70/239 for knights). Serpent is in a similar position, but maybe not as extreme, and I don't have a full understanding of how dex affects garrote balance so I can't be sure. Artied jester and priest are similarly overpowered, because of the high stats on their artefact blackjacks/maces.
