This is RR100 Marauder in defensive sovereign  vs RR100 Shadow Warrior in offensive sovereign - Mara is in the worst possible situation for a Melee DPS, at range with only autoattack throwing axes, SW is at range using full range of abilities under no threat of melee attack, best possible situation.

 

No hacks, no cheats, no funny business, just absolutely unbeleiveable sloppy game design and management.

I'm a bit curious. Was this an attempt at bashing WAR, by asking a question and answering it in the same post?

Regardless of the topic the answer is always: WoW-clone.

I call shennanigans. How did a RR100 player just now get the unlock for encountering a SW?

Fanboi is not a word, it is just bad grammar.

The mechanics lend themselves to team play, going one on one will have it's drawbacks of course.

 

I play a ranged character and am screwed if I don't have a team member good at melee to back  me up if my target closes the distance.

 

Silly video anyway. Why on earth would you just stand there and let yourself get shot to crap? Run up and Knoxville that guy!

I have had this happen to me after a re-install.

The OP has a point though, the game isn't really balanced well.

Holy crap!

A ranged class just beat a melee DPS class in a range duel?

 

Game is broken man. I just don't get how it could be so broken.

Waiting for: Archeage, Darkfall 2.0, and Planetside 2.

Other way around. The melee class beat the ranged class in a ranged duel.

As said above, however, WAR was never meant for 1v1. My Chosen has 0.00% chance of soloing a healer.

Fair enough. I recall shennanigans and apologize to those who grabbed their pitchforks.

Thats BS the sw was not using his full arsonal of attacks and the SW never healed himself but if you watch the Muarader healed himself 4 times i believe. I dont even play the game anymore  and I know this is twisted BS. How could you even think someone who ever played it would believe you.

 

Plus name me one MMO ever that was balanced. there is no such thing in MMOs. They are designed around an  X beats Y scenario. At ant account any good SW would kill any evenly geared melee at range with ease.

Man did you not watch the vid? the mara which is malee DPS JUST throwing his axe at range and he OWNED that Shadow Warrior ass who use full range skills.

You see what i mean? Malee DPS thats not using any of his malee skill can kill a Range DPS thats using all his range skill.

How about a melee class beats a ranged class in a ranged duel?

I've seen similar things in other games too.

 

When a defensive class that gets absorbs/self heals stands there with a return damage buff, they can outlive a class based on physical damage who just kills themself hitting them.  The defensive set gives absorbs and heals when it procs a damage hit.  The defensive set is just >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the offensive set.  Had the SW been in defensive, he would have won easily.

Granted, war is broken, but other games have the same thing happen.
