WAR (Warhammer Online)

... I really hope Hammerers have a 360' Hammer swirl attack that knocks all enemies back! That alone would make me want to pick one!

Any attacks you hope for? That are in the Tabletop game or just out of your head

*already imagines many uses for such a swirling knock back attack.  Watching her enemies go flying off the edge of cliffs is one of them*

Im curious to what Kick in the Giblies *isn't bothering with spell checking that one is tired!*  If it looks like I imagine it'll be hilarious to use.

I'd really like to see the chaos chosen have some sort of attack where they can grab their opponent by the head shakes them and toss them.  That'd be pretty awsome knock back attack.   Actually that'd be a cool attack for several of the larger stronger classes in the game like the Black Orc.

You're in luck, they do. It's called Grungni's Hammerfall.

Wow.. really? I'll search around for sure

from the videos they released i don't think there will be any cool attacks that cause loss of charactor control.  Mostly autoattack with some minor damage abilities mixed in.

I hope squig herders get the ability to have their squig guard an allied player.

I hope a herder can use squig specials even if the herder is incapacitaited; there's nothing like getting slapped around while yer creature stands there watching it.

I hope herders have a charge/ramming ability while inside the battle squig to disrupt enemy ranks.

I hope goblins have some sort of bite attack (DoT or snare) if a player gets too close - just to show that they're nasty little buggers.

Actually they have knock back ... you can shove people off cliffs, knock them around with seige weapons depending on the attack type.  So they do have stuff that causes loss of control.   You can't just auto attack in WAR not if you want to use any of your moral / tactics abilities.   Plus there's a mention of 'combination' attacks recently auto attack will just get you dead.

This is supposed to be an imaginitive discussion thread you could atleast contribute instead of trolling with nonsense.

Imagine a guy buying his high level toon on eBay and logging in and joining a battle - that is basically the skill level we see in those vidoes - new to the game players or noobs as they are often called.

Well, I haven't seen a list of abilities for the class I want to play (Chaos Chosen) but some of those Hammer skills look a bit overpowered and may need to be toned down.  That AoE knockback is way OP needs to be toned way down.

Your not very familiar with MMO's and how beta's work are you?   Those lists are tentative and even say so at the bottom.   Beta is all about testing, balancing, and final shaping of the game mechanics (granted most mmo's release with things still to do but thats just the norm no mmo game will ever be perfect at release).

You can't judge if something is overpowered until you see what they are going up against...

For all we know Orc Choppas (who will be fighting dwarves most often from what I can tell) might have a skill where if they get knocked back they can charge forward and do 10k damage. The knock back doesn't seem so overpowered when ya put it that way, does it?
