I play a character that is different from everyone else. I dont like to do the same things over and over like all others. I personally find that a giant sword specialists who just bash's over and over is incredibly boring, and it's not just that. There is a great indifference in this game when it comes to specializations.

A giant who bash's over and over while wielding swords is going to straight own. That is why there are so many of them about. All storm giants who just bash, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You get bashed, and that's it. You die. These people are simplistic to me, or can't pk with any other character/specialists combo. It is to good. To pick a giant, and just bash is so freaking good it's pathetic. To being bashed over and over by any giant, or anyone of your same size while they wield swords is just lame. That is all the have to do. I fought a human sword specialists rank of 20 yesterday, and I"m a duergar rank of 20 flail of the hunt, and offhanded frostbrand sword in my hand. A hit and dam roll nearing 30/30. That is pretty good for my rank I'd say. I can't do anything to this human wielding these swords. I'm completely getting owned. I have no attacks, I have no strikes. I'm getting parried, and hit two times a round.

What is wrong with this? There is also a big problems with specializations too.

Polearms are not defensive. They absolutely suck. Defensive specialization does not even describe how much this specialization sucks.

Spears, Staffs, all come a distant last to swords. Swords is the ultimate specialization to just own someone with. Many consider it a utility specialization, but it owns. That is why there are so many of them about. All they have to do is bash, and they destroy anything. It's not even funny. That is until they get to hero, then there is a better chance for others to do well.

This is just not fun. I want something different to play. I want a weird specialization/race combo. I dont want to be like everyone else, but this is incredibly lame, and not fun at all.

There needs to be a great addition in my opinion added to the "defensive" specialization weapons. They just suck. Players know it. I know it. I've seen it first hand with my characters.

Things have been said, but things seem to fall on deaf ears around here. It's either swords, or daggers. These are the two you see all the time. Can we please do something so that we get a little more variety in the game?

These two combos are so over powered it's not funny. I love this game, but damnit if it doesn't get frustrating to get owned by someone who just types bash, !!!!!!!!!! and that is all there is to their wins. I did that. I was a giant sword specialist. It's just to easy, and I'm not the greatest pker.

I"m just asking for some simple things to change. If a giant is wearing heavy armor, and carrying 95% of his max weight, he shouldnt' have any chance to bash someone. He's got so much weight, but it's opposite. 10 rafts and he's bashing whatever he wants.

I'm sure this will get erased, or whatever, but I just wanted to say that. I try a duergar, and get owned even without them wielding weapons that really hurt me.

And yes, I do know that flails are offensive spec, but that still doesn't change anything. God, give me some diversity in the game. They know the powerful combos, and they're going to play it because it works, and everyone knows it.

Thanks
