[idea] Anti-magic warrior impressions and ideas

Post by tangar »

Similar to druids topic, I wanna tell my impressions about playing AM warrior.

1) you need to carry loads of potions and scrolls. you are like mule.. like walking library. Heavy load of items decrease your speed like hell. you are very slow. nom not like this. you are very SLOW. but without scrolls and pots - you are just bag of meat&bones. And without speed at high lvls you are still bag with bones, even with scrolls and pots :P
2) damage is low. no, not like this. damage is LOW. Yeah. As AM-warrior you have to use dual-wield - one hand with weapon for damage and one for dull dark sword with AM.. Its wouldn't not bad if you would have some speed, but you don't (see para. 1)
3) breaths... again, not like this. BREATHS. Beign AM-user is much deadlier then normal warrior couse you are not protected from breaths. At the same moment Resistance potion works for a very few time. You need to drink them like vacuum cleaner, cause they worn off very.. no, not like this. VERY fast.

So.. What I can tell you. With current state of such class people have to create AM warrior only if you was lucky to find artifact dark sword with another character. Otherwise - save your nerves :)

Is it right approach to sub-class - to depend only at good weapon?.. I dont think so. May be AM could be rebalanced somehow...

Still its fun to try AM warrior. I like to play it. I just expected this sub-class to be a bit more effective... Right now I feel myself like old turtle :)

You missed the most important thing- A-M warrior is a doom of every mage unique :) especially Sauron- easier than Azog. And the speed penalties arent that huge, i even play my AM warrior with dodge :) Damage is quite low, but it is okay for tank style of AM. For me, the worst part of gameplay are hounds- without corridors, AM warrior is unable to deal with any high lvl hounds... Leveling up with this class is *very* slow but quite safe, as deadly summons happen rarely. The low duration of potions hurts, but i doubt that it will be changed.

The message is: you can't play at high lvls without artifact dark sword. Its the only sub-class which needs particular, super-rare item to play. May be there are could be option added to "enhance" simple dark sword if you are anti-magic user.. or make dark sword ehancable if you are AM user.. To sharpen it somehow. It wouldn't influence balance (cause the same thing would be if you would find artifact dark sword) but would be a bit more fair.
