I just want to ask, how the fuck is that balanced? He's doing MANGLES through sanctuary? There's no way I can compete with that. With my average twenty four bow and water arrows I was still only doing DISEMBOWELS.
Don't get me wrong, I deserved to die here, but seriously, MANGLES? That's not right.
Dwarves and gnome vuln is the same.
You're right, the MANGLES were with concentration, but that shows that for normal attacks you're doing upper echelon DISMEMBER and MASSACRE damage. We have the same vuln, if things were balanced, then we should be doing the same damage with vuln weapons. I was wearing a two-handed bow (double enhanced damage, same style you were in) with water arrows and I was only doing DISEMBOWELS and if I was lucky a DISMEMBERS or the odd MASSACRE with concentration.
To quote Shadok: "If you didn't want to deal with this unbalance"? wtf? So you admit there there isn't balance. The game is supposed to be balanced. That's one of its biggest draws is that anyone can beat anyone else given the right circumstances.
To summarize: in similar situations, the Keeper dealt massively more damage than his target which leads me to the conclusion that atonement is still overpowered.
This is derived from deductive logic, if you want me to spell it all out, I'll happily do it for you.
There was sarcasm meant, so it should have read as If you didn't want to deal with this "unbalance" then you should've just handed over the items to not be uncompliant.
To quote Tipp: "I'm just pointing out that this is a ridiculous amount of damage that I could not hope to compete." Sounds to me like you had already given up before the fight even started. You were probably thinking Dear god, I don't wanna deal with a freaking Keeper because they're so overpowered. In reality that's probably why you handled that fight so poorly. Quit focusing on the idea that you have about keepers being unbalanced and figure out ways to get around it. If you do that, and you win, then maybe, just maybe keepers are balanced.
FYI- Skill has alot to do with a battle being balanced or one-sided, you can't change that. So get better, or don't be a gnome.
FYI, a Keeper in treant thews shouldn't have a free skill that lets him significantly outdamage his rared opponent. Their damage should theoretically, if everything is working right, be equal so that the fight is as balanced as it can possibly be so that skill is the dominating factor. With the Keeper doing shittons more damage, then that requires less skill on the side of the Keeper and more skill on the side of the Keeper's target in order for the non-keeper to win, and if both players are equally skilled, the advantage is in the Keeper's court, which I do not think is right.
Ok, to be very fair i'll say I was hitting a tad hard against you. You aren't even using my vuln unless you're using water arrows, so all I need is to either stay out of that, or bait you for it. As you said i adapted to it. If you're drowning only disembowel me, you're hitting me lighter than a decked out healer, meaning you're not decked enuf I guess. As I say, Azazhog is Dismembering me through sanc. Give that set to a warrior, i'll be eating massacres probably mangles.
I have no idea how Dav is going to balance this, but in this fight, you did poorly, you gotta admit. Missing out many things like disarm while overbeared, arm distention wielding shield etc etc.
What are you basing that on now? Expose armor?
to all: if you thought that was atonement think again. and if for those of you who thought atonement shift was a nerf. think again........
That's what you get from playing gnome isn't it? Crushing sucks.... Deal with it.
Dwarf warrior = noob cannon = likes men
When did they get the 22str buff anyway? It's weird to see all of the Avindus stuff get nerfed but then see a race buff.
"I was wearing a two-handed bow (double enhanced damage, same style you were in) with water arrows and I was only doing DISEMBOWELS and if I was lucky a DISMEMBERS or the odd MASSACRE with concentration. "
How do you concentration with bow? You cant even hobble with it...
I think it got bumped up to 22 around the same time the Avindus stuff was getting removed (power of roiy, dual parry for berserkers, etc).
Gnome warriors have a harsh vuln, and those exploiting that vuln tend to have a significantly higher strength than the gnome. Gnomes are squishy, and always have been. Just because you're a warrior doesn't mean you can just stay in battle like, for instance, a fire warrior.
This fight is more a skill issue than anything else. You were right when you said you were psychologically defeated first. If you think you're losing going in, well.. you're right and your play style in that fight will reflect.
By the way, this is what beat you.

You should have noticed to situation at LEAST by here if you didn't catch the former round:
Your shield arm distends painfully from the strain of the attempt.
Your arm distension hits you.
Adwaud has some small wounds and bruises.
Just from these two rounds, and Adwaud's actions in battle tell me a few things:
1) You were dual wielding, this is why Adwaud double gripped his weapon
2) Adwaud's weapon was overbeared, see HELP OVERBEAR for what this skill enhances
3) When that round happened, overbear was put to use, you overextended your dual wield attack and got your offhand attacked parried by him, thus the arm distension.
4) You did not respond to that, so now you're down a defense tanking a vuln at that moment in combat inferiority as a good dex/low str warrior, but you stayed in battle. Then hobble sealed the deal.
NONE of that had anything to do with any Keeper skill period, but you're so upset at seeing capitlized damage on your screen that you missed the important things.
You'll get better, but this isn't the issue you're arguing about.
Dwarves from what I know was 22 str all the way since i started in 02? 02 or 03. Although I hardly played dwarf at tt time.
So hrimo, the stand is no starfoil weapons? We cant go in to buy or we cant use them? If we get it off someone, can we use them? They aren't rot death.
But this has been discussed, as for now anything not rare or gambled is fine. But you shouldn't be so far as at war with yourself.
