Shattered Kingdoms

Please do soon.

I'd like to see it hit the entire front row of any group you were attacking. IF you're using a reach, hits the front two rows.

I'd also like to see it add a stagger effect. Like a one round bash.

It's hard to justify giving mercs anything else though. They are already machines.

I can't remember the exact mechanics around blitzkrieg, but if it just adds another attack, I think that's fine. It should hit anyone in the front row of the opposing group and anybody in melee with the merc, if it doesn't already.

The only reason why I never used blitz was because I was usually tanking (low damage one hander blitzing isn't worth as much as a claymore blitzing) and I didn't want to be lagged so I could quaff heals/retreat/bash when necessary.

I don't see why a 2H merc wouldn't blitz unless he had to dirt kick or bash somebody. It could turn a close fight.

Its not as worthless as headbutt, That skill only works for NPCs, my Giant Master(4) barb with headbutt superb coundn't headbutt ANYTHING to save his life.

Just headbutt Ishiye. Guaranteed to work.

Headbutt owns.

I guess I was using it wrong, I thought the syntax was....



*rolls eyes*

If it worked, it would own.

Blitz is not bad, it's an extra attack after all...

The problem is that combat is all about BASH. If the significance of "bash" can be balanced with every other skill, then PK in general might end up more tactical. As things are now in pvp or pvm, bash is what a warrior HAVE to use...It's just overshadow every other skill.

Maybe stuff like trip and bash needs to be less effective, especially since they are low lvl skills.

I agree with that. Having your opponent pinned to the ground and having him suffer 1.5X damage (or so I hear) as well as being the first to get out of the 'bash lag' so you can have the time to land another bash is a bit too much.
