i play a BG and i love it, normaly....(and to mention all things are my own opinion and this is subjective)
At time i have the feeling he is more a magical tank as a huge tank and he is not so useful for groups for for the dark brother(this ability for 1 groupmate).
I only have the wish to compare both and make them both strong to be a good tank and useful for group or for the guy who get this buff from IB that he gets the same values(sorry dont know the english word, my client is german).
Fpr BG this ability ist "Dark Guard" ?!
If i could chose i would take all abilities from ib to myself.
Why i would do this i will explain and hopefully the devs will have an eye on it at look to make BG a bit better.
I dont wanna have an op char, i wanna have a Tank with BG which is useful like the ib from my point of view.
Ok i will start
The best thing and funny thing at the bg is the long kick if you have enough hate but this ability its important to survive.
Furthermore you have a knockdown for 5 seconds with 90 hate , good think ib must skill it as i know to hit down for 3 seconds.
If you skill in the middlepatch, you can get the channeling ability to increase block for 50%.
Its not bad but i dont skill it, order has many ranges, i will guard a player and to channel 10 second and do nothing other.
Furthermore 2 things are good for bg if you have enough hate...you can skill to increase parry 3% per 10 hate and disturb for the same.
both needs a tactic slot.
With this we have 2 both usefull tactic for a bd, rest is standard nothing special from my point of view.
Now lets see what the ib have
He has the ability to increase toughness for "Eidfreund" sorry, its the same like dark guard for bg. -Y bg has this one with a really little heal
He can increase ini and parry +25% for himself and Eidfreund -> bg has not this strong ability
He can increase strenght and willpower(will depends on grudge or hate at bg) -> bg has this one
He can increase armor for himself and "Eidfreund"
He has a tactic to recover stuns and knockdowns for 50% faster
Tactic for increasing armor at a value fo 660 ?!
Increase ability for weaponskill
ability to increase corporalresistance(hope its the right word
)he can cast ruenshield for himself and Eidfreund
Tactic to get grudge when parry(min all 3 seconds)
Fine tactic to skill to get 10% block and only 95% damage
At all i see a class with ib that can do a loot for the "Eidfreund"
The only good tactic from BG is to get only 75% magic damage but -15% heal.
I dont wanna say BG is bad but BG defend is more depending on which hate he has build up.
Defend from IB is more from the Ability he casts.
I would like to have a ability to increase my parry+25% and ini and take away my chance to get 30% parry with 100 hate.
I would like to have the block tactic with increase block of 10% and 95% damage incoming
I would prefer to make our ability to increase armor and become a critialhit reduce with 90 hate less than 45% for me AND my Dark guard.
The ib has many options for himself and his Eidfreund, he is much more tanky with parry and blockchance increase.
These options dont depend of grudge for the value.
I see many options that makes the ib better than the bg from my point of view.
Yes we have a small toughness reduce but costs hate and this decrease our parry and disturb if skilled
We can decrease block and parry but this costs 30 hate, what means 9% parry and/or disturb
The BG has to many dependencies to get the defend up.
The IB hasnt it, he has his strong tactics and abilites to give him a good defend.
So i wish you could bring ib and BG to one level and what would the way to do it.
1. Give BG the same armor tactic with 660 armor ?!(and from my point of view you can delete this 75% damage reduce tactic for magic)
2. Make the parry tactic depending from another ability to have full parry or disturb or make the parry from ib depending to grudge.
3. Change ability for bg that the armor he increase for himself give this value and critreduce for the dark guard.
4. give us also a tactic for increasing block and reduce damage to 95% or something else(again from my point of view you can delete the 75% magic tactic)
I dont know what the BG is but the only things they have together is hate and grudge but the kind of working with this and using for defence is not equal for ib.
At last if the IB want he can skill in right patch to give a shield for himself AND the Eidfreund
If he wanna make more offensive he can skill in left path the ability to increase meleecrit 10% and increase strenght.
A Moral 2 to decrease damage to 0% for 5 seconds is cool too.
From my point of view i see some important things that makes the ib stronger or more Tanky as a BG.
Pls dont flame here, i wanna talk, discus how to bring both class to one level.
If you think its all fine with class, ok its our opinion, if you think the same or other fine to.
