I use head shots all the time in PvP and i've found in the gladiator events most others do as well. it works for me and 5% chance with a maxed speed 1h sword comes around a lot. Also have u tried circular attack with many opponents, that 5% would equate to almost every swing u get hp back - so again i fail to see how that is useless.

When we go boss hunting we always have a tank, sometimes 2 or 3. It's all part of the plan, works out well and is lots of fun for all involved. But then we play to enjoy ourselves not to worry whether there is a better way of doing things.

I'm not sure what sort of answers you were looking for in this post tbh. maybe for everyone to agree that melee is useless?

wikipedia wrote:Classes provide direction and limitations for characters. For example, a thief will usually be provided abilities such as lock picking, but probably would not be able to wield magic as well as a mage (or, depending on the game, possibly not at all). Game designers use the limitations provided by classes to encourage (or enforce) interdependence among characters. Some RPGs restrict the classes a character can choose based on alignment, race, or other statistics, though this is rare among contemporary RPGs.

A common alternative to class-based systems, skill-based systems are designed to give the player a stronger sense of control over how their character develops. In such systems, players choose the direction of their characters as they play, usually by assigning points to certain skills (such as "fighting with a one-handed weapon" or "forgery"). Advancements in class-based systems have sought to provide players similar control by presenting options as the player progresses in level. These options include prestige classes (a form of sub-class that is only available to characters who meet certain prerequisites), multi-classing (advancing a character in two or more classes), and hybrid class/skill systems.

And doustin about your Speed calculation. Yes Launcher speed is max at 12 But you forgot the speed brick which will double it. So its more like 24 vs 38

The sole most irritating thing about Launcher are that you need several days to prepare for a fight (Getting enough mats, Bring your packer to the site of battle, And keep a ammo tool handy to make new ammo all the time)

Also you can only stun someone if you get a critical hit, and you also must use the skill to hit head. So, first there is a small chance to get a crit and second if you use skill to hit head then you can not use accuracy or increase dmg. It doesnt make sense choose a skill where you have a very small chance of stuning and just for a very small time when you can choose a secure ability as accuracy + increase dmg. I doubt a lot that any warrior using that skill can win me in a duel if we both have same equipment. And in any case even if you were right its just a 5%, something really low. You get that for every 20 hits, and duels finish before that always. So, maybe just 1 extra stun in a duel or fight if you are lucky.

Kye, the point is that healers and nukers dont need tanks for bosses and they even dont want them. I have been warned by different ppl different times not to use my warrior skill. That is ilogical, it seems an intentional unbalance of game.
