Ok, I only logged a few rounds of what went on. I'm just trying to show the kind of sick damage Keepers be dealing. I'm not sure if it's overpowered, let u guys be the judge.
Okay, I started this round with Dual wield. I was on Sword(bastard sword of Havoc) and Ebony Kris. He was on DEENSIVE STANCE. So I am superior.

So look at the damage output. Without atonement, I was sitting at 42 damroll, 26 Accuracy. With atonement, My damage got significantly reduced. Look at the damage output from an inferior stance. I have parry and dodge mastered, dual parry sitting at 93% (maybe a little low for a pinnacled). But this difference in damage? What do you guys think? Opening it to the floor.
And it can't be an elf. Ebony kris is anti_good, I know this because I appraised it myself when Naskel gave it to me. Yep, gotta be Nenthandil for that reason. (He took it from me recently.) Plus, I actually saw this fight (go me!).
Atonement is pretty strong, when I watched Ikroma while she was fighting Jaux (and she was decked out in some serious shit, probably more than you), it was reducing her health significantly in addition to hit and dam reduction.
As for dual parry, it can be tough to master.
Atonement is really buff. I think it is pretty important when Keepers don't get the same weapons as I do and their selection is limited. It's public knowledge that I have some of the best weapons in the game, and I somehow doubt that the Keepers can compare with the Centurion's polearm, plus they don't get unholy strength like I do. That's why I hit so hard with just Malicious Beast, I have a strong weapon and unholy strength. If I were decked out in rares (say, Titanium Tenor and some of the decent shit like the assassin's garb and possibly gambled stuff and conquest items), I'd be extremely tough for someone to kill when I have no vulnerabilities and they're using non-rare weapons. Jaux and I have sparred, we're about equal currently. If I had a lot of rares it would be a different story.
I believe atonement is necessary. I don't know about relative strength, but if I were in Justice with their kite shield it would make sense for it to be high. Legion can taint items too.
1. Atonement is JACKED no questions asked and it needs to be for various reasons that don't need to be mentioned. Here's the thing I've never been a keeper but I don't think it lasts more than 10 hours so run that shit off and the cooldown is long so engage flee like hell and come back and you will be sitting much higher especially if you wait for a transform too you will have nearly a days time to acomplish your goal of killing and not dying but to face a keeper transformed, with atonement, not to mention Jaux's skill/training Certain Death.
2. Beljia you are no where near as strong as Jaux no where near evenly matched. That is a pipe dream if you think you are. I'm not and you are far below me. End of rant
Love Eldroc
Keeper forge weapons may not put them on par with the Centurion's polearm but they make some pretty good average weapons.
Nenthandil, it looks like you hit a bad string of the rng. You need more than 26 hitroll if you want to hit a warrior class consistently. You need to get that up higher than 30.
Anyway, Look at the offhand damage. A maim with 42 damroll with a 28 average dagger. Rangers have no penalty for offhand. Against a Disembowell for a avg 22 blade (I dont think you can get anything higher then 22 for sharpen. Unless the leader gets some kinda enhanced sharpen or some other skills.)
So to match a disembowell, what kind of damroll and avg weapon u need? 55 damroll and avg 30 weapon? Probably if you're that decked, atonement is gonna hit you really hard.
The other thing I am thinking in this situation is the RNG factor. Flee off and try again, see if it continually happens or wait for RNG to turn in your favour.
