Saw a post about balancing warriors. Some thoughts.

Idea Option #1

Giant warriors go down hill 40+. With limited coding skill sets available in the immortal ranks, I think a tolerable fix is to give all warriors a 'gates of the forge' type skill at 45 which maxes out around 20% dam redux. Availability is to any race of 22 str or above.

Keep gates available for the rare >22 str race that might want it.

Idea Option #2

This one has been discussed more often but make damage sliding scale on str.

Idea Option #3

Make an evade-type skill for 22+ str characters. Instead of evade they get an armor type echo. Make it based on -AC and str. Elf tries to artery your giant? Can't get through the armor.

Furry giants

Because then someone rolls a fire giant shaman and skies will cry (n/t)

This is a cool idea. I said the same thing when Frosty posted the exact same idea on this thread. =) n/t

I always knew Frosty was smarter than he looks. nt

I like the idea but a giant warrior is still going to get worked by quick races with gates. Just takes a bit longer. (n/t)

Just give them one more legacy at lvl40? Or two edges? (n/t)

I think it could be as simple as making giants parry better.

Parry is Str based.

bloodmoon March 23, 2017 06:16AM

I thought riposte was dex based, not flourintine. (n/t)

Frosty March 23, 2017 09:10AM

It is.

Rhyaldrin March 21, 2017 09:31PM

This. (n/t)

Frosty March 21, 2017 09:39PM

I really wish they would do something like this. I recall people mentioning this ever since the dex change. (n/t)

I think it's kinda perverse that elves are tankier than giants.

Yes, but as it is it leads to giants hiding behind elves if grouped. (n/t)

Murphy March 21, 2017 06:52PM

I always thought giants should have some kind of skill like evade but that used their strength and size to somehow deter the skill/spell/sup targetting them. I figured it would give SOME kind of balance back to giants. (n/t)

Frosty March 21, 2017 09:51AM

This is a cool idea. n/t

jalim March 21, 2017 11:10AM

yah, which is why i kinda like option 3

The Forsaken(VIP) March 21, 2017 09:50AM

fwiw, it's an across-the-board powerup to strong races; nothing gets weaker. txt
