Return of Reckoning

People are brain dead to think bg dont deserve a buff. I only said a simple buff that could be applied anytime (easy to patch). But when you think about it the toughness debuff should be double and many other abilities should get buffed. There soo many requirement when other classes got access it ...

so there are 69% destro players voting here vs 31% order player

come on... such vote is pointless...

Luckly we can see who voted, and "no" voted either trolls or order-obsessed ones.
Same trolls who supported crappy WS nerf patch.

2h BG is very good.
People complain, but BG is a tank that has 5 tactics.
One is invisible because it doesn't waste a slot on a 10-second cooldown knockback tactic (which is mandatory for others).
IB has the same thing, but it has to carry at least one tactic on Grudge.


No, 2H is garbo. Max you ...

What you guys think about Non shall pass ability? It looks like good candiade to be changed for something useful. 20 sec CD is very bad in RvR when engineers spam their flashbangs.

Looking at original skills, now I wonder why Brutal smash became str buff when it's not fitting into anti-magic theme, why it got mirrored from IB's. (willpower buff fit though).
Also I am surprised that even on live IB had 2 str buffs in 2 skill trees.
There is definitely big room for improvements ...

got 2 crashes in a row in fort, can any dev say maybe there was changes in lord or other npc's spell effects?

there were handful of changes between them.
IB got outgoing HD because BG has it.
BG's now willpower buff used to debuff cast time by 1 sec.

Heh so squigs can spam 360 aoe with 8sec cd, but all those years of screams was about nerf of lions 360 OP aoe with 13 sec cd with same damage. And let me guess bis msh armpen is near 80%? 15%dmg tactic+25% from loner, and healdebuff on demand+healing channel? So destro have better copy of lion ...

Yes
Squig herder can spam big bouncing
shaman can spam fotg
Black orc spam waaagh!

this was a deliberate nerf to greenskins/destruction


big bouncing is channel and 8 sec cd, it's not spammable.
BO's waagh is not really good damage ability and it's locked behind plans, so no huge advantage ...

That's funny.
Kotbs approach and you and everybody around immediately lose resists, toughness, str, wounds etc
BG will dance around before applying his few buffs-debuffs.
