I have heard good things about Blademaster and most say it is now better then Bonecrusher. With the envoy changes on their way, what would you pick and which one is the best?
Unknown2005-08-31 21:48:20
Depends on a lot of factors.

I will always <3 bonecrusher, though.
Unknown2005-08-31 21:48:50
In a overall fight, what would you pick?
Terenas2005-08-31 21:53:05
I love Blademaster right now. Especially after Haymaker was made targettable. Possibly the best knight specialization right now, though the only good afflictions are at the higher ends.

Pinleg.

I could easily trans blademaster without a problem, though I don't want to make the same mistake I do with pureblade (daevos will kill me for that)

i'd wait till AFTER the envoy changes.

as it stands shiro, the only 2 fighting BC are you and I, and both orclach (SOMEONE PLEASE CHANGE ORLACH'S ADVANTAGE TO BE BONECRUSHER!!) you've seen the potential the class has from fighting me.

Hopefully a few little fixes will be added to BC in this envoy, and we'll be great again. it just comes down to practice, you are certainly improving

It's not like i'm going to change right off the bat, I made a huge mistake in doing that with pureblade. Bonecrusher is an amazing style, that's why i'm going to wait until the envoy report until I decide what I plan to do. However, most likely I will stay bc and not jump ship again

edit: I agree with murphy about Orclach's advantage should be Bonecrusher tongue.gif

Yeah, Aslarans are probably the best race for warriors right now, especially as Blademaster. I think it is unfortunate though, since it was nice to actually have a warrior class where speed wasn't significantly superior to strength for a time.
Terenas2005-08-31 23:11:56
I'm pretty sure if you ask a Guardian or a Mage right now if he'd rather fight a speed warrior or a damage warrior, the person would pick a speed warrior. Damage knights like Ixion, you, Icarus, or Melanchthon can easily take down a non-knight in a matter of 2 to 3 rounds, a non-tanky knight would barely last 5 rounds.
Daevos2005-08-31 23:21:12
I don't think it is fair to compare artifact using damage warriors against non-artifact using speed warriors. Can you name one warrior who uses the slower weapons without artifacts that is actually lethal alone against anyone with a moderate amount of competence?

Edit: And also the warriors with slower races.
Shamarah2005-08-31 23:33:01
I'd certainly rather fight an runed speed warrior than an runed damage warrior.

Unruned... I dunno.
Ceres2005-08-31 23:33:42
Rend.
Daevos2005-08-31 23:34:54
I think it's easy to form that opinion since there are no runed speed warriors in the game.....yet. Though I've been tempted to change race for the benefits of speed, but I vowed to stay Viscanti forever.

Only fitting, of course. Can't have a kitty heading up the Empire. Brood Viscanti are fairly good warriors, at least.
Shamarah2005-09-01 00:05:32
Isn't Alger runed?
Daevos2005-09-01 00:07:54
No
