That's not the issue, the ridiculous intercept rate is.

yupyup, the intercept rate is undeniably through the roof. but, for whatever reason, it's deemed fair by the Phoenix crew. (i find it hard to believe its gone on so unbelievably long without being adjusted for the Phoenix server environment) Since oversight and/or deliberately being obtuse to the issue, the recast needs to stop. i personally would be happy with either option as an answer to such a grotesquely overpowered class that is so clearly and completely broken on the Phoenix server.

Have to decline your offer, unfortunately. I answered this kind of threads in a serious, provoking and in a sarcastic way but it's starting to bore me. Still wondering why ppl not realising this game is not desigend for 1v1 (even if you can do it) and not see that there is a hard counter for every class. Also wondering about people emoting me when I run away (or try to kite them) with their merc/champion class, expecting me to go into melee combat with them. Would advise to avoid classes you can not beat.

Exactly this.

SM is top of the food chain in 1v1 true, but they are not alone. The top tier 1v1 also includes Minstrel, Necro and BD. But like Azrael said this game is not balanced around 1v1. Even though they are strong 1v1, they aren't so great solo because you have no way to choose fights like stealth and speed classes (Minst/Archers/Assassins/Skalds). And when you do get a 1v1, more often than not you will be added on. No Stealth, no speed and no SoS means no way to escape.


Also they are not unkilleable 1v1 - Classes that do well against them 1v1 are Minstrel, Necro, Reaver, Elds, and Chanters. BDs are tough too if you want to include mid classes.

If you look at the herald top 250 RP holders. SM is the only class not on the list. All other classes are represented. The other top tier 1v1 classes that I mentioned have multiple people on that list.

Like I have already said in a previous thread. Intercept is only really strong in 1v1s vs melee. The more people involved the less useful it is. Yet I am the only SM on the top 250 solo kills. So if the class so broken 1v1 where are all the solo SMs?

Closing statements. SM unkilleable no. SM strong 1v1 sure. Game not 1v1. Solo <> 1v1. Less QQ. More Pew pew.
Any questions?

So very true.
DAoC always was primarily designed for Realm-vs-Realm in the large picture, not 1on1-Private-vs-Private (:p).

DAoC is and never will be balanced on 1on1, if it was, we wouldn't be playing DAoC but the 1001's WoW-Clone that just lazily equals the classes on all enemy sides.
That also would have been way easier for the Devs, setting up equal sides and just making them look different, calling them different names.

DAoC is totally different in all regards, and the class-balancing is set towards Group-Play and Large-Scale-RvR.

As soon as you start balancing classes towards 1on1, you break them on other aspects, and you never will get out of that circle no matter what.

Because Mid needs more population headed there to play their cheesy classes that dominate solo and small grp play. Right....

Earlier tonight in DF it took 4 people blowing RAs to finally kill Bombzz who was by himself.

The game isn't balanced for 1v1 this is true. But when you play a realm that at times has TEN active players in the frontier you don't exactly have the luxury to form a hard counter to some of these bullshit classes.
