[Strizi]

I am really not sure , but I guess there are similar polls out there ;)

[Darkath]

that's poll is so lame that i wont' reply it, there's already better polls on the same topic =/

[Secret]

straight in your face low attack high defence tank melee with maxed out self heal skill

I voted mage, but in all honesty, I'm going to try and fill a [crafting] role. I like the idea of being an explorer/sage. Heavy on magic skills, but not necessarily for PvP. I'd like to travel Agon and lean magic to try and pass that knowledge on to others.

Not truely a crafter, but someone with something to offer others, just the same.

Hmm... what style of combat?

Traps... Hmm not there

Stealing... Hmm not there

Throwing potions... may be ranger but not really

[romtim]

There are 3 ways of Headtohead combat.

Ranged combat
Melee combat
Magic involved combat

Also there are hybrids, thats why i got #4.

Why is stealing supposed to kill someone?
or trapping an opponent, will kill him?
Same as saying: why no farming... Without farming u get no food, without food u are weaker
:P

You are correct, I'm sorry I missed that, and the other post too. I don't really post that often.


As far as battle goes, I usually like the physical type, but it remains to be seen how often that will be effective. If it turns out to be too fast paced/chaotic, then I'll choose something else. If it is not to fast and allows tactics, then I'll definately have some melee skills.

stealing you could make an argument for but traps defiantly should do damage.

In UO player crafted exploding traps where the hardest hitting thing in that game and would 1 shot you 99.9% of the time.

Its not life farming cause farming cant hurt people like traps/magic/melee can

[romtim]

Its just that by doing traps, wont kill an enemy if he stays on one place. What are you going to do then? he stays on one place, shooting you, and you got traps all over, but he doesnt care because he is shooting you. Same goes with magic.

So i dont take it for a real way of fighting ;)

trap will probibly do damage in and of them selves plant enough traps in 1 spot and bam you blew alot of money but killed the guy in the process.

there could all so be pushing some one off a cliff.

[Momust]

Being one style would have its advantages but also major disadvantages, but having all three would give you a little more advantage over somone with just one skill.

[romtim]

Summoning is magic related.
Hitting from range is either magic or rangery.
Running up and hitting is melee.
Trapping isnt a direct damage dealing, since its dealt only when a condition is met - a melee class running into it, because rangers/mages have no reason to run to you to hit you actually as much as i know.

unless you go around a corner and they have to move to hit you

I didn't want to start a new thread only to have it blocked and annoy a bunch of people, so I decided to post on whatever thread was at the top of the page. (After contributing to the poll)

Anyone suddenly missing RBD? I haven't seen him for a while, I miss laughing at his ridiculous posts.

[romtim]

Thats not direct damage is it? they can choose not to follow you, and just continue their journey away from you.
while you have no choice while recieveing melee damage, ranged damage, magic damage

I don't see how that makes a difference if I am faster then the melee guy I have a choice if he hits me or not



Stealing and such should not be up there but traps are definitely combat related.

Siege and ships may of all so been a good option to put on the poll. Just a suggestion

Good call! I think a siege guy would be a pretty cool combat job.

[romtim]

This is about YOUR combat style. You can like to use melee, but you never do, because you are a pirate (check other poll), and you have a cannon position to attend. However when your ship gets boarded, what do you do? Melee? Bow? magic?
When you get attacked, while being at a siege weapon, what do you do? :)

[Baskot]

ranger ofc :)

[romtim]

This is not about what do you do, what do you prefer to do in a battle, to heal, to controll a siege weapon, to give orders, to run around crazy. This is about your way of fighting in a fight, to give direct damage. Its like you got no siege machine, no r0flwaffles to run around crazy, no traps to set, no heals left, no cannons, no ship, no herbs, no potions, nothing. Only stamina, mana, melee weapon, staff, bow. Choose what u want.

may be he just turns around the cannon and keeps shooting... not a great idea but you never know... may be all he does is heal and try to hide but seige would defiantly be combat related.

p.s. not flaming you... I just feel that every poll should have an "other" option so you can throw out the weird ones like trappers who consider them selves combatants but don't really fit well in a category

[romtim]

You should know that i cant change the poll anymore, and thats why i defend it so much.
Maybe other would be good, but in the end, its all up to FIGHTING, not healing.
About turning cannon around
1.st u would hit ur allies with it too?!
2.nd u would hit your ship , fortress along with the enemies hitting you from the back?
3.rd the siege weapon is destroyable, so generally, when it is destroyed, what u do?

go to the next siege thing... all other combat has friendly fire potential as well including Melee and Range


or may be he just sets traps... sorry I had to say it.

[romtim]

Friendly fire was not the main point of my post. it was about #3

[romtim]

Anyways off to sleep, keep this poll hot

[romtim]

nice statistics, at least all 3 types will be balanced as i see
