I thought lightning was still broken and didn't end up add but like .0000005 second a swing. Did they get it up more? So like a 290 speed axe would be 10% faster or is there a ceiling for it?

I really agree with the stance theories you stated. It would definately help out warriors overall. And give them a reason to want to switch from combat style defensive.

BC stun changes and AL stun changes I could get behind if they are willing to work on the entanglement issues as well. And I really doubt the "entangler guilds" aka Nihilists, etc are gonna be too willing to get in bed with that nerf. So until I see that happen I will have to stick with the way stuns are now.

Ok, now that I have responded to some of your points, I will add a few ideas on how I think the problem can be resolved.

1. I think magic should be changed to a general resistance skill that covers magic, electric, fire, and cold resists. Once the person transcends this skill-set, the person would have 15% reduction in damage to all of those damage types. This change would be fair for two reasons. One is that a person can acquire a skill to reduce the effect elemental runes have on their person (damage wise). The second effect is that it would require that person to spend credits to transcend the skill-set for its greatest effect; therefore the person has to pay a price in credits to reduce the damage that a person paid a price in credits to increase. With the addition of proofs, a person transcendent in the new skill can have a straight resistance of 25-35% against the elemental aspect of a warriors attack. That is equal to having a 70 on robes versus cutting/blunt, but this is versus elemental attacks. Keep in mind that Desitrus has pointed out that he has no stat runes on his waraxe, giving more credence to my claim that elemental runes are the main culprit in boosting damage.

2. I agree that stun needs to be looked at. I would suggest that stun not be able to go beyond a 2 second max for axlords and a 1 second max for bonecrushers/monks, regardless of the race. Stun is the most powerful affliction there is in my opinion. Being able to delay the curing and actions of a person for a solid 2 seconds for axelords and 1 second for bonecrushers/monks in my opinion is enough time to get ahead, if the attacker takes good advantage of it. I believe other concessions will also have to be made concerning skills that entangle too, so that the advantage does not wholly go to those who use passive and active entanglements to hinder warriors/monks.
3. There is already a mechanizim that would allow warriors to concentrate on going for wounds, speed, defense, and damage. Each of them are called in order of effect mentioned earlier concentrated, lightning, defensive, and aggressive. Each combatstyle already have built into them benefits and drawbacks which I will show below:

a. Concentrated - Choosing a concentrated fighting style will increase your chance to wound an opponent, while decreasing the amount of damage of your attacks.

b. Lightning- Choosing a lightning fighting style will increase the speed of your attacks, while decreasing the amount of damage of your attacks.

c. Aggressive- Choosing an aggressive fighting style will lessen the effectiveness of your combat stance while increasing the power of your attacks.

d. Choosing a defensive fighting style will increase the effectiveness of your combat stance while decreasing the effectiveness of your attacks.

Now there is a problem with these combatstyle, and the problem is that only two are actually worth using (Lightning and Defensive). What I suggest is first adjust these styles to be more focused on their aspect of combat boost (i.e. more effective in what they boost), while also having a greater effect in what they are suppose to cause a deficiency in. First, I suggest changing their effects a little bit to make them more balanced for overall warrior combat. So here we go:

a. Concentrated- Would not be changed in effect, but in magnitude. The increase in wounding would actually become significant (+10%), while the decrease in damage would do likewise (-%10).

b. Lightning- I would suggest boosting the effect this has from having a 10% boost in speed, to a 15% boost. I would also suggest having it reduce damage by 7.5% and adding in a component that reduces the wounding done by 7.5%.

c. Aggressive- I would make this the reverse of the Concentrated combatstyle, such that it would boost damage by 10% while decreasing wounds by 10%.

d. Defensive – Would keep the same power it has against other warriors, but it would also receive %10 resistance (not dmp) against elemental and magic attacks (not physical). It would take a hit in damage (5%), speed (5%) and wounding (5%)

Well, above are my suggested changes that I hope would help balance out warriors, without hamstringing them.

fire/frost potion is 15%

Fire and frost actually give damage resist? And here I thought they only prevented shivering/on fire. Why does no one tell me these things!?!?

It's rather explicit in the alchemy AB files.... maybe its an alchemist conspiracy to keep the knowledge to themselves!

As we analyze this, we note that currently fire/frost potion is 15% and a proofing is 10%, yielding 25% elemental resistance for everyone on cold/fire damage and 10% electric. I'm unsure why more resistances are needed in the manner above described for these damage types.

Yes, that is true and I alluded to that when I pointed out stacking resistances. Still, Shamarah has pointed about the fact that electric resists are hard to get and we also have to remember that frost and fire resists from the potions can be stripped during combat. While magic, physical, and poison resists are all possible by a non-removable defense given by general skill-sets, the other elemental resists are either harder to acquire in any significant quantity (outside of choosing a certain race) or can be stripped by various means (of which some are passive in effect). It would be just better to remove the resistance effect from the potions and then create the new skill-set, which will allow people to acquire a constant level of protection just like resilience and magic affords people now.

What if a galvanic potion was made that gave the same electric resist as the other two?

Quicksilver is too easily stripped by knights with raze though.

Since quicksilver doesnt effect stancing and wounds as it was originally designed to, we could always have knights not strip it couldnt we?

Ignoring that we tried once, we will just need a new reason.
