Dark Age of Camelot

its good to know that if I ever need attention all I need to do is die

no i dont think so at all. its all on the player and the spec.

me and my brother both have vamps.

he specs in all 3 places< not good slows you down when i see him play>

me i do all sm and a little dagger. i dont stop killing i dont rest. i just keep going. hell i got 3 levels just in 2 hours. were my brother hase to stop every 10 min.

I haven't fought any albs yet so I cannot judge as to if Mythic overpowered them as usual, but I think so far this seems about the best round of additional characters they have done.  I think the bainshee deserves a baseline stun.

I speced my vamp in sm, ve, and dagger.  I never have to rest and I can solo oj and reds.  Sometimes on reds I need to stop, but for ojs I never have to.  I pull with the power drain, then I buff with speed.  I engage in combat, but up another buff or two and always attack with like head shot or something while I am casting.  Then I do end drain before its death.  I then pull another one with my buffs still up, I hit it with claw a lot in addition to my weapon.  As a buff falls I put it back up.  I can keep doing that for hours.  Just make sure and keep your HOT up all the time.

I only went to RvR once.  I got totally owned.  I will admit the albs really outnumbered us and I suck at playing tanks so I cannot judge for myself right now as to how I like it in RvR, but PvE is awsome. 

i still have a friend whining that warlocs are usles cus he was thinking that a warloc need to be speced like a normal caster all in one line . but all realms now have what they need. Albs- battle healer. Mids- aoe interupter and strong mage class. hibs- anti stelfer melee hibrit and anti caster, if you can call banshee like that i havent played one in rvr atm.

I think the strongest of the new classes is the Warlock. The Vampiir is right up there though. The Warlock class wins because it actually has a dot that can kill someone. They also get instants that can drop a caster. Back up that instant with a self MoC life drain and you got a caster class that will knock down anything that is solo very quickly.

The Vampiir is so strong because it was made to not use any buffbot and still be able to compete. The SM spec allows the Vamp to xp nonstop, and the HoT is awesome in RvR as well. I had the most fun playing this Catacombs class as you are casting with one hand and using melee styles with the other. It's non-stop button mashing fun

I haven't tried the Valkyrie yet but the impression I get is that the class is weaker starting out and gets stronger in the end game.

The Heretic is also a fun class, but the way the spells look is just a big blinking arrow telling you to kill me. If the Heretic can get the focus spells ramped up the damage is crazy. There are so many tools in RvR to interrupt cast that this us unlikely to happen though. The Monster Rez is pretty nice though. I think it is an 80% absorb for 45seconds, and you are a walking PB DoT bomb until the effect wears off.

I didn't play the Bainshee too much either so I'm not sure if they are any good. They have some cone spells, and bolts. They also get a nice damage absorb.

So in the end, I only think the Warlocks are overpowered. I'll gladly reap in the RPs with them as long as I can instantly kill anything that moves .

I'm happy to see that not way too many people said yes here ...

Yes, the new classes have new abilities that the rest don't have, but the old classes have other abilities too ;)

The only real overpowered new class was the warlock, but that's been nerfed on US servers already, and soon on EU servers too ...

After that nerf, the game is back to a well balanced game, exept for the fact that I always die way too fast ;)

Well, as i agree warlocks are a little overpowered , I would'nt stop at it just being them :/ vamps are just a lil to much also.

if you dont believe me, make 1
