I have to say bard used to own. Now i dont hunt with it rather use an archer. All its usefull for now is boosting and shielding. And trust me that gets boring being used to sing the same songs every 6-7 / 9-10 mins depending on song and instrument.

Gonna keep going on about it... made two posts so far.

Keep new target system... remove restrictions on provocation. Its the only thing that make them "own" now other classes get boost left rite and centre (insert 100+ gm comments on my song ideas thread and others about bards being the most balanced class on shard for it use in pvm and pvp from the past 10 years.), stunning change wasnt a boost or nerf either, 7s (always sucessful) then finding out you fail (another 7s) is just silly as the song is pure shit anyway even with drum of conso it is less powerful than a gm mages para, a 30 piety priests para, a para pot poisoned weapon.... and it takes 7 second to play where you cant moved and the people have to be in a certain radious not target like every other para. *sighs*.... what weed was we all smoking when we brainstormed bard changes?

Now three.

That nerf didn't hurt it that badly. It's still VERY usefull even while group hunting.

It used to be way too powerfull since it didn't even work as intented.

You can continue talking about bards and how you have no idea how to play them, in another thread. This is directed to Fighter classes.

Leather armor is best for sneaking, because it's literally made from hide.

Barbarian (unblessed)

Advantages;
Best survivability vs Meelee/Magic attacks
Moderately strong hit.
Moderately good statcap
Moderately good meelee skills

Disadvantages;
Low armor
High cost for manavampires
Low hit for their strength.

====================================================

Barbarian (Blessed, armament only)

Advantages;
Best survivability vs Meelee/Magic attacks
Immense hit.
Moderately good statcap
Moderately good meelee skills

Disadvantages;
High cost for manavampires


Conclusions for Barbarian vs Religious barbarian

Armor; Personal experinces tell that armamenting my weapon is enough, no need to start the burden to full-bless my gears unless its 60 piety, since it wont last.

Hit; That's where the real deal is. Armamented weapon on barb is far too great, disabling the maxhit cap. Meaning, you have 2 advantages already, over nonreligious barbarian (if you are against archenemy). Talking here from personal experiences from the PvM views and some PvP aswell. religious/non religious barbs should remain equal or the dev's could atleast check into this matter.

Strength; i find that strength on barb's used to work better back then than it does now. Considering the fact that people are up to max their strength's means barb's will have only a 15 str advantage from every other class. But their 15 strength makes a 1.5% more damage than the rest? I mean, what if the rest also gets a weapon bless? It's already far greater than the barb's hit alone -_-

PS; No need to reply with flames here, it's just what i have seen for a while now. It's broken already and thus the reason i left nature on barb. Its way too unbalanced for the barbs.

Having the "ability" to be blessed has nothing to do with babas. All classes can be fully blessed and thus, giving the same edge vs. the same class, without religious aid. Your argument is not valid.

To continue about the subject, you may create another thread. Continue here about PvM and classes to PvM with.
