Revolutionary combat! :lol:


.....the fatalities were cool.

barbarians need to be "balanced"

The more I watch these videos from the last day of open beta the more I realize that this game is going to be a total waste of $55. :\

99% of the people in the video suck dick

this game looks soooooooo bad

I hope they suck that badly because that Barbarian didn't look like he was taking any damage at all.

Everyone playing sucks because no one is really experienced enough to know what they're doing. Most of the people in that video probably played for a week, max.

Barbarians and to a lesser extent Assassins are so effective in the low levels because the classes meant to balance them (Conquerors, Guardians and Dark Templars) don't have access to heavy armor at level 20. That means they're only slightly less squishy than the Rogue classes but don't have the single target DPS to compensate. Once people start getting higher level and gain access to heavy armor (especially plate armor for Guardians) and have higher knockback resist expect things to even out.

expect things to even out.

It is an MMO. Things never even out. World of Warcraft and other MMOs are still balancing classes CONSTANTLY after years. Its why MMOs suck, your class can totally dominate one month and suck the next. Thats why long leveling times and grinding sucks in MMOs and why MMos suck in general. Mass populace of players, all looking for different things, and a company trying to give everyone what they want to hold onto subscription dollars.

Of course there's going to be balance adjustments. There's too many variables (gear, feats, exploitive behavior, etc.) to account for. Whether the constant balancing act makes MMOs suck or not is up to the individual player to decide. But that's neither here nor there. My point was that trying to glean any kind of info about class balance from that video is dumb. What happens at level 20 won't be what happens at level 80. It's like trying to decide which class is overpowered in WoW by watching a bunch of level 19s go at it in WSG.
