#571, "I think orcs need a little help."
|
I'm a huge fan of orcs, but I think that they need a bit of help in terms of power.
My impression is that in the design of every unique skill, the coders "held back" a bit too much.
I'm low level: but here are my examples:
cheap-shot, orcs don't land this much at all. I have bashed and tripped so much, and this skill has yet to go up. I understand that someone didn't want orcs to use this much.. But where was the line drawn? My opinion is that it is too ineffective. It _is_ gettin better with level, but still grazes when it rarely lands.
Forced March: The concept of this skill is alright, but, -oh my god it hurts-! This is something that I'm afraid will kill me if I'm gonna use it in pk. This is also something I don't do while leveling, because of the -con thing. I don't like this skill at all.
Exsanguinate: alright, interesting, but I don't think any orc can be pleased with the 22 tick counter between making bloody skins. The effect of 1 of my blood sacks is negligable. I guess I need to sit around harvesting sacs or something, because this is again, not a skill I like much.
Other things that I don't like about orcs: When we die, we're in the ass end of nowhere, and walking to our corpse takes a while =)
I don't think we can join cabals? I don't see any evidence that cabal powers were incorporated into our default skills. I don't think our village can be raided either.
orcs berserkers really have nothing to put them "above and beyond" the damage of normal hitters. Warriors get berserk & warcry! The only real berserkers (I know of) come out of .
I'm gonna respond to this post with some ideas.
