Discord - Casters looking at spell books for even chance for Melee <Poll inside>

[Kergan]

Also, more on the original topic, I hope they find a way in the future "seasons" of Discord (provided we even make it to the first) to prop up melee characters. I posted some of my thoughts in other threads. Basically give monks increased damage on par with live damage tables, warriors very high innate resistances/increased HP and make see invs not see a rogue in stealth + increased backstab damage. Also give all classes a 30 second cast recall to bind point ability and remove bind affinity, and add soul binders to cities.

[*]Rogean: Lord Vyemm's attack speed, mindmg, maxdmg set to verified values. accuracy slightly decreased. HP lowered, but still remains higher than classic for balance reasons.

As long as they give druids faerie fire and humans perception racial.

Vote no...keep your overpowered melees on r99. Leave discord melee for the true neckbeards.

Buy if you want classic...didn't spells hit players for full *way back* or was that just rumour?

[Kergan]

None of the changes I suggested would lead to a melee winning the server. And neckbeards won't be playing them either, if anything it'll be the casual players who don't care if they don't make it past level 5 (which they wont).

[cronik]

Why the hell would they buff melee to be relevant? It's practically impossible to do so for classic.

Pally/sk are the only decent choices for melee in the era (maybe rangers with ykeskas), but they just don't have the weps to support their meh spells. Even in classic era melee were only decent in dungeons or tight areas.

They won't have the weapons of classic era, the minimal resists, or the favorable fighting areas. There's no way you could buff them enough without God-mode-ing them.

It's the era of casters, just like every other MMO ever before itemization (i.e. 1-3 expacs) catches up and pushes melee to the top.

in classic anything that isnt dru/wiz is garbo
