Black Orc gear is getting a lot more Willpower and Initiative. Not completely useless for me, but I'll never have it in number high enouhg to really make it worth while, which is the same for your weapon skill, although that is a worse case.

I would not be surprised at all if it were intentional because, with the exception of strength on caster gear, most of this stuff makes a perverse kind of sense.

I think he's talking specifically about the WHM, the White Mage in FFXI, whose jobs are as follows:

1) Stay as far away from the monsters as possible.
2) Spam heals.
3) If a monster looks at you, die.
4) Do nothing else.  Ever.

...So yeah I can see how that would sort of suck in PvP.  Guild Wars did it okay, though, why can't WAR?


...oh, right.  That level thing.

You also got like two hundred million spells and maybe you could use axes or have a pet crab or so.

It's not really fair to compare Guild Wars to a real MMO in terms of PvP. GW will always stand above the rest because the devs didn't have to balance skills, abilities and classes for 1v1 or PvE.

That being said, I think it's possible for the devs to do better in MMOs then they do. I haven't played WAR, but I'm a longtime WoW pvper and holy shit some of this shit is just glaringly obviously stupid

Zealots aren't helpless. Malvado is damn near unkillable without a real concerted effort from the enemy team, you're just too low level to have all the tools available to you.

WoW PVP is a hideously balanced mish mash of PVE mechanics.

WAR isn't hideously balanced at all. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LEVEL 11 HERE. I mean, jesus. It's already more balanced than WoW at the tier Zombor is talking about, and it just gets better from there.

Just curious, do you guys match Rank for Renown, or catch your Renown up as you go?  I pretty much just quested in the open beta, but by trying to keep myself generally at max Renown Rank there ain't much room for questin' in this here grind.

Healing myself while three dudes beat the shit out of me until i eventually die at 0 AP doesn't

actually fuck this. you have every class already accounted for, and i am clearly too stupid to play the game. i'm gonna go play megaman some more.

I'm going to assume you're insulting the game here, and not me, despite the fact that it could be read either way, which really pisses me off when people do that shit.

 ::D: It could easily be both!

But seriously Friday, are you going to let an asinine knee-jerk response bother you in either case? Isn't that the entire point of these forums? I clearly think that's what they're for.
