Additional Changes

- Parrying changed to OSI Pre-AOS specfication. For example, with 100.0 Parrying skill and a Chaos shield, you will absorb 32 damage from ranged weapons and 16 damage from melee attacks (Assuming the shield is fully repaired).
- Parrying will now be checked before armor absorbtion (as per Pre-AOS spec), saving your armor from the brunt of the damage and unnecessary wear.
- Chance to parry is now ParrySkill / 2.

would that make a lumberjacker more effective or less in terms of damage per swing?

This is the worst thing to happen to this shard, FYI - be a fencer with 125 dex and a gm spear "for the win!"

Is there any basis for this opinion?

EDIT: I'm guessing you died to a dexxer because you are too cheap to wear armor.

EDIT 2: I hope you aren't referring to these changes, because they won't be active until 3:30AM EST. I think you are in the wrong thread, hater.

It simply means GM Weapons won't do as much damage. Vanqs4tw man. All the way

Damage will be "minorly" smaller - But you won't really notice it that much with the buff on die rolls. Essentially, dexxers will have an indefinite fighting chance now - especially in well planned groups

Would Ranged Weapons include Magery?

 

[Baggy Bones]

only if you threw a spellbook at them

 

[dead girl walking]

Hey throwing spellbooks would be a nice feature when you'r out of mana j/k
Back to topic...

Mark : Is Hybrid exactly like the TC was when it was up? Were those changes put into affect?

A guy with two whole posts lets us know he speaks for the whole shard!

Smart guy's 4tw!

MB + Fireball = Dead Dexxer....lmao

 

[Gogarth]

Yay! So if I'm not mistaken parry is acually a skill worth getting now? Great work on the new skill updates, the weapon changes are awsome so I doubt this will be any worse!

 

[2slick4u-hybrid]

Won't be a worthwhile skill untill more dexxer's show up.

Wow, to see characters running around with "metal" armor and holding shields......OMG *Has one of those Ashton Kucher Flash Backs*

 

[Arkainen]

Being able to block Projectile Spells ( MA, FB, EB, MS ) Would help it out a bit also.. Not full damage block, but a little bit off of it.. But this is a good start on it.
