RDPS patch inc

[Deadpoet]

Hello,
just a reminder that, after more than a decade since live launch, Shadow Warrior remains THE ONLY CLASS IN THE GAME WITH NO SELF HEAL NOR ABSORB NOR LIFETAP, which incidentally, EVERY OTHER CLASS HAS SOME FORM OF, or even a lot of.
Since we have a rdps rework coming soon, It might be an occasion to repair a long standing historical debt.
Let the hysterical conservatist outrage at the mere mention of such grossly gamebreaking suggestion begin.

100% this.

It’s not so much an issue for Scout or Skirmish, but for a solo roaming Assault SW like me, it’s sorely missed.

The solo roaming scene is dominated by absorb/regen stealth classes, some def magic classes, and lifetap rDPS healers. SW lacks this, so the only way to cope is to fake “sustain” by pumping my HP so I can try to outlast them.

However, unlike other classes like Witchbrew WE, def Magus, or rDPS healers, I need to stack this on top my May stat (BAL), supporting stat (WS) and tertiary stat that I need to make some tactics viable (CRIT).

Blood-Soaked War tactic: "Any time you kill an enemy, you will instantly regain 321 health" -> Selfheal

So technically you’re correct, whilst at the same time highlighting what a joke that tactic is.

I agree with your opinion.

However, some people are complaining that SW's damage is too high.
They are ignoring the high risk of being a glass turret.

Looking at the trend over the past few years, it seems that the developers are focusing solely on single-target damage when making adjustments (ignoring the damage of SH's pets and defensive strategies), and if adjustments are made that simply nerf Barrage and Lileath's Arrow, SW will have no place in WB or Party.

If that happens, the only alternatives would be to take Festing Arrow and, solely for this skill, take Build Up 1 Second Faster TAC and Resistance Ignore TAC to become a more fragile glass turret that takes 2 seconds to fire while standing still, or to use Assault Stance, a weaker version of WH.

On the more serious end, BW Sorc also miss some selfheal, both have some kind of, but honestly not much less of a joke than the sw one and they hurting self even..

Yep, agree. I think every class should have at least the posssibility to have some offspec to challenge the impunity regime of certain classes tha we all know about, at the cost of raw damage or whatever their main role in warband is.
