Comments

  1. So I am 40 49 with around 450 ac across the board, yet I can do nothing against him. He can literally just switch weapon and instantly hit a skill in combat, it makes fighting him as a paladin an impossible fight. If I was a warrior, sure I could use aliases the same way and do the same thing, but when he can push a button and instantly switch and barrage before it is possible to respond, there is no way to win this fight. Not as a duel at least.

      also you can pre-emptively swap the combat stance again to bait barrage into nothing making him lag.

      actually i can think of like several things to counter this hard, cant give it all away though!
    4. What you are missing, is as a paladin I don't have lag skills. My only useful skills against a neutral involve using a shield IE Shield slam. All the rest of them aren't useful against a warrior, at least not anything that is worth lagging myself for a round to do a maim or scratch. All I can do is switch/switch/switch and hope that every single time I switch it's the right matchup. You get to switch and use a skill with no penalty, also notice that every murder was countered and you damaged me instead of the other way around for the most part. Take a look at this engagement:

      Bamor yells 'Help! I am being attacked by Szrevan!'

      So the breakdown looks like this to me. Szrevan murders me gets his free round of combat and instantly switches to advantaged style, then he hits barrage taking away my shield use, then the round of combat hits leading with his free MANGLE(Through sanc) that no other cabal has a chance of having. To put that in perspective, I am decked, not QUITE as nice as he is, but still nice, and he did 300 damage in one round of combat. How do I combat that?
    5. Don’t take the bait and stop fighting him in the arena. He’s just using you to pad his record.
    6. See, here is the thing about that. I don't mind fighting any of the warlords in the arena. I know what I am going to get when I do that. Warlords stick to their terms, are cordial, and are pretty easily to get along with most of the time. Why would I piss them off and make them deathmark and start invading on me? I LIKE fighting, and doing anything I can to get better. The only issue here is I should be able to at least get the fight close with 50ish damroll and 40 hit with my ac. The way it sits it seems like it's impossible to win. I feel like if he didn't have Tenor and his set it would still be the same end result because of the way he is able to do things. IE no lag between murders/switches/and popping that skill usage in.

      When Szrevan murders you, he will eat 1 round lag.

      You know he is going to dual wield barrage because you are using shield. Fuck him up by pre-swapping your style.

      It really comes down to abusing people who are predictable. It has worked out for me for years. I've never lost a fight to Ozaru's ranger for an example just because after a couple of skirmishes you know exactly what they are pulling so you just turn it towards them /shrug.

      Also, Paladins are not meant to go toe to toe vs a warrior and just outright win without even using up your mana to heal... if they would, they would be insanely broken.

      Also, you have to realize that the combat rounds are pulse-breathers that are always on background. Sometimes it feels like someone can swap quicker before round starts because technically the previous round just passed so you got longer delay waiting for new round. This is a common knowledge amongst many older PKers, thats how you get those sweet big burst rounds.

      Look at this one for example, this is where Szrevan's murder aligned exactly with start of new round (Many hits in a row, but Bamor hitting back at the same time) - therefore it would been impossible to swap weapons before the murder delay/new round:

      Bamor yells 'Help! I am being attacked by Szrevan!'
      The Juggernaut says 'Szrevan exploits his weapon advantage to deliver an unblockable wild attack.'
      The Juggernaut says 'Szrevan's wild slash wounds Bamor.'
      The Juggernaut says 'Szrevan's sting maims Bamor!'
      The Juggernaut says 'Szrevan's slash DISEMBOWELS Bamor!'
      The Juggernaut says 'Szrevan's slash maims Bamor!'
      The Juggernaut says 'Szrevan's wild slash wounds Bamor.'
      The Juggernaut says 'Bamor's wrath MUTILATES Szrevan!'
      The Juggernaut says 'Bamor's beating maims Szrevan!'
      The Juggernaut says 'Bamor has quite a few wounds and Szrevan has some small wounds and bruises.'

      ^ This is actually murder+instant new round, making it look like a huge murder, while its really not for an example.

      On the paste you did, the old round had either just passed OR neither of you hit each other so Juggernaut did not report it. Which makes sense, considering both were wielding 2-handers that coulda been parried. So it looked like he swapped right after murder even though it's literally impossible due to built-in murder delay.
    9. Your equipment and weapons are not on par with his. Its not the weapon switching, Szrevan just hasn't faced anyone with tenors and ave 28+ weapons. Don't get down on yourself and by switching weapons you are playing into his hand, if you stay dual wield, flee murder and heal, the duel lasted 4 minutes. He has a finite amount of mana make him use it he needs it for tenancity.

      And as far as never losing to any of my rangers, its hard to lose when ur not allowed to make characters.
    10. its the right spec for duelling with paladin so we can look at that in more detail if its feeling sub-par but it can easily be a pally vs neutral thing here too

      I just checked his duel record, Ozaru, seems if he is facing berserkers with gear as you mentioned, he has lost a plenty of fights. It may just be that there's a big gear difference indeed. But from the logs I can see that many people don't really play their class to their full potential to counter what he is doing.

      It's many things combined, also the fact that paladins were never any good vs neutrals, especially stuff like rangers, unless you were overgeared+imbued+augmented like Rhoa's borderline insane stats.
    12. Competent player + crazy gear. As much as Szrevan seems to push that he fights against people who are similarly geared to him, it's simply not the case. He fights against well-armored opponents, but not tenor and 28+ weapons good. Granted, he earned that gear, and he continues to keep it because he's competent. But the character constantly downplays the impact of their gear, which can be frustrating for those who fight him, because it's another way of them saying, 'I'm just better than you.' Obviously, that's not the whole story. Again, their competent, but this would be a very different story without their current outfit.

      Another thing highlighted here is that hybrids don't do well against neutral warriors. This wasn't the case when the new paladin specs first came out because, frankly, those paladin specs were crazy imbalanced. But warriors do have classes that counter them pretty hard. So far we've only seen what happens when he goes up against giant berserkers. Being slith warlord, he'd be a pain for a shaman to take on. But I'd be interested to see what a good ranger could do against him.

      Only oversized weapons are 28+ average one-handed though. The stuff I see from logs are 25-26-27 unless its vs a giant then its 22 average. Actually I am curious myself why is he not hitting more damage vs his opponents, with that gear+weapons he should be hitting more than maims/mutilates average.

      But I agree with above-states, even though I dislike him/playing against him he has come from the bottom to the top earning his merit. Just curious to see what he will become if someone ganks and loots all his fancy shit. Probably rage delete for sure.
    14. there is a true one-handed weapon which is above 28 average... In fact it has a 31 average unless it was nerfed in the last year or two... Mordeth's ruby-hilted dagger. So twerp isn't entirely correct in saying "Only oversized weapons are 28+ average one-handed though."

      i give you that BW, but what i meant though is viable mainhand weapons, not ebony kris and ruby hilted dagger :)

      actually its weird, daggers have literally the highest damage rolls for 1h weapons. Yog-sothoth is another one I forgot that has 28 average.
    17. Your info is out of date because of weight in parry and that's a big deal with the wild advantage always proccing a wild attack. A heavy one-handed wild tomahawk if it exists is amongst the best weapons for that reason, even if it were ave 20

  2. I have had moderate success against Szrevan with inferior gear by constantly changing my weapons during combat to maintain advantage.

    No afflictives. No maledictives. Not a fun way to fight as a DK but it is the single only way to have any chance of success at all.

    My information may be out of date in this but if I recall correctly there is no lag and no consequence for “failing” a barrage (ie trying to barrage someone using a two handed weapon or not wearing a shield). For this reason warriors will typically initiate dual wielding to hit more attacks on murder + free weapon switch if barrage “fails”.
