I'm a big fan of the recent changes.

Faster spell casting, lower AR, and weapon damage buffs mean more DPS. That should make it easier to down players 1v1. Before the changes, that rarely happened in a fair fight between PvPers.

I've PvPd on my LJ and my mage since the changes were implemented. It was more fun than usual.

I love the fact that my runic horned mage set now gives as much AR as an exceptional barbed set used to give

Try it out for a bit guys then give us feed back. Sounds like no one actually even tried it out much yet.

I'm literally running around slaying everyone with an aggy long spear. I'm getting 40+ hit on people in full barbed. 2 successive hits + 1 explode pot = death.

I can't even imagine what dexxers with defense talismans are doing to tamers and PvMers in dungeons right now.

Anyone got a screen shot of a max-vanq war-hammer crushing blow hit?

Almost every hit is consistent with this one. Lowest end hits would result in 3 hits required instead of two + explode pot.

I was 3-4 hitting + 1 explode pot tamers in armor with a power warfork.... Weps like these aren't uncommon by any means. Seems op I can crank out that kind of damage while still being able to drink pots and apply so much pressure.

Dexxers weren't weak before. They're OP now, even without the defense talisman.

Did you just compare a spear hit with a crushing blow ?

Not comparing them. Stating long spears can consistently put out high-end damage. With dexxers having such a mobility advantage, getting in for 2-3 successive hits is just a matter of how many times you want to reset the fight when whiffing.

I don't play macer.

I was using an aggy runic double axe last night in a little pvp and I think my highest hit was a 63, but I never hit below 30 for the extent of the night.

Edit: Also the pvm changes to like say lumberjack are insane, before I was hitting 60-100 a lot, now with the changes I have yet to hit under 100 with a Exceptional/Slayer on my level3 bezerker(no relics) its extremely nice!

You mean you now need heavy armor for good protection against physical attacks? Say it isn't so. :rolleyes:

I'm saying that an absolutely fabled piece of equipment made by the best of the best now offers as much of protection as the everyday second-grade shit every booger-eater is able to produce does.

I didn't pay 100k for a set of barbed leather armor. I paid 100k for a set of runic horned armor made by a professional crafter.

The other plus to this will be less ganking. To the best of my knowledge, a good number of people were running in pairs because it was difficult to down a player solo before she recalled. Presumably, this will enable more people to PK solo, which means better odds for those players who decide to bite back.

From a PvM perspective, as a dexxer, does anyone like the AR change? Everything hurts now, and I feel like money spent on my fancy runic sewing kits is wasted, since I still take a beating. I find the bonus damage is not a worthwhile trade-off.

I feel like something else must have changed for dexxers.

I do take a little more damage now, which i was expecting. However I'm now getting completely destroyed by monsters I've farmed thousands of in the past (still over 120 ar)

overall, i do like the changes for pvp

After the change I start missing alot again. Is arms lore broken? It's like before arms lore become important.
My LJ is doing a lot more damage. Finally I decided to stay with LJ. I thought many weeks about dropping it, but now I love it. Thanks.
