Slashers need boosting badly - Page 2

Because I'm quite happy with my build? But, for the record, EVERY one of my alts is a slasher.

I'm still pretty sad I can't duel wield bows. I mean. I do it in real life and my arrows penetrate shields so there should be no deflect. I'll post a video of me doing it sometime in the next 20 years when I have time. I'm a busy marksmen for the Shanghai Dynasty.

Uh huh and how do they compare to your main?

What does you being happy with it matter? Maybe these folks want to be happy as a DW slasher but all they get is stuupidass "if you dont like it reroll and STFU" bull****

Look. Every time a class, build, whatever gets buffed, others get screwed. A small group gets buffed and everyone else is pissed off by it. A better policy would be to nerf small groups so the majority is happy. Maybe slashers should just be nerfed so they'll all quit and shut up.

Oh and it's true slashers don't compare to my caster's farm speed, but then no build does. But, for melee, they kill faster than any build I've ever had. Beside the fairly consistent damage the epic weapons have bleed procs, they have a bleed skill, and by god they're just damn pretty. I rather enjoy slash, as I've enjoyed every build I've ever had. If all you want is dps, reroll into caster. If you want a consistent build that's much more flexible in pvp and pve, you can do slash. Every class and build has its pros and cons, you just have to find them and stop whining.

Or maybe casters should be brought back to a realistic level? You would like that wouldnt you?

Define realistic. I click a minimum of 10 times per battle and if I don't click that much I die. A slasher can click once and watch American Idol until he hears the ding. That's not to mention my 10+ million gold (non epic) gem pouch in addition to the gear and runes I HAVE to have to farm effectively. So, yes, casters have insane dps and slashers, much like everyone else, will never come close. But for meleers slashers are awesome. What makes you think you above everyone else deserve a buff? Where is your proof? If you can build toons with every weapon type, all skills at 100, and PROVE that dw slashers suck, I will 100% agree with you. But crying about needing a buff because you feel you're weak is just plain ignorant.

nekkid · 08-27-2011, 07:19 PM

Yeah,we COULD click 1 time and go watch tv,but some of us do not.
Cost? price a 1h 99 slasher,Tyger just informed me that it would cost him between 9 and 10 million to craft ONE and we need 2 if you have trouble with that math Thats 18-20 mil for weaponry alone,plus we also have the same number of gem pouch spaces as you do and spend just as much on armor. Add in the fact that a caster can farm 3-5 times as much gold/trophies/drops as we can and that argument just dont hold much water.

Folks around here use what youre trying to spread as fertilizer man,find something new.

All I'm saying really is until you prove definitively with all skills maxed on several characters of all different builds you really have no idea what's best and worst, and crying about your build solves nothing. Reroll and try some other things, there's a reason reroller's boon came about, so people would stop crying and just try something new.

Which is why you didnt see me at the beginning of this thread asking for a buff. Try just saying that for once and lay off the "STFU and reroll" bull**** and all the nonsense "casters are so hard and expensive" crap. Those dogs dont hunt.

hotshot64 · 08-27-2011, 07:37 PM

I'm not saying being a caster isn't worth it, I'm saying we earn our dps. If all you want is massive dps, reroll to caster. If you want something else, there are many other weapon types. I suggest trying them all before you settle down with one and try to get it improved.

As a 2h piercer at cap, w/ skills in the right places, stats where they should be (through vigorous testing and re-testing), and the right equipment, I can kill, probably not as fast as the fastest casters, but I can compete w/ a kill speed in N Lake from avg. 13-25secs USUALLY...

Also, Hotshot is very very right, every class has pro's and con's, strengths and weaknesses, unless you figure out what yours are, and come up with a solid strategy to negate weaknesses, and maxamize strengths, you will not succeed. As a 2h piercer, I would be a fool to have double attack be in my top 3 weaponry skills in level; crit, overcrit, 2h, not to mention all the pierce skills are what make me hit as hard as I do as consistently as I do.

Hint: A pro for slash... SAME STATS NEEDED FOR WHIPS... this game is all about evolving and adapting... if you think you're good, and you're a slasher, but you've never been in a situation that req'd whips, or never even thought to use whips, something is amiss.

I too, HEAVILY rely on my gems. That is a GOOD thing, melee'ers who do not take advantage of 1/2 the game will only be so good.

First off, if you spent over 10 million on a non-epic gem pouch your an idiot..
Secondly, You don't earn **** really. It takes WAY more time to even get close to decent kills speeds on a meleer, or archer.

Secondly, Yes Rogue people don't understand that having 500+ STR is kinda overkill.. I love seeing slashers with 590 STR, and 180 DEX and complaining about how bad slashing is.

Now when you see other people complains like mine who have legit reasons to be complaining.. (I have overskilled, my BM/Whipper Build, my Slasher Build etc etc) And the only thing I realize that is truly underpowered about slash is its next to useless proc..
