OP Legio or why do you need MP?

[Julia.]

can this thread be closed already

besides you dont pick a class for its stats but for its items, this whole discussion is entirely pointless especially seeing that akanamah doesnt even have a legio

Why close, if people want to discuss various things why not here.

And not having a legionnaire only helps to be objective on that topic. Ofc everyone who have it will not call it OP.

You can't be objective when you talk about a nerf or a buff lel. You should know the class well enough before writing something about it. So obviously everyone who plays legionnaire will say the legionnaire is not OP because that's a fact. Giving a melee class a low defense is comparable with a bug or can you explain why the hell someone should actually use the 1h skill of a legionnaire even though you know you'll die with a high chance?! Thats what I call broken. Not the legionnaire itself but the fact, the skillpoints are not well distributed.

I don't play RG but I see that most of the rag runs are successfull which means the shielders do a great job. I'm not going ahead calling them OP just because their shields don't break because I have absolutely no clue how it is to be a shielder in the shieldwall and I can imagine there are a lot of problems as a shielder but none of them is that their shields are too good. So you better stop being objective. Seriously.

This.

Did you ever try to melee multiple bots with a 1h sword and the bots had longer weapons? Most of us did. It ends with close combat and been hit, if the hits are badly timed for the player. Legio needs armor or longer 1h swords with a reach close to polearms (which would be 2h swords and not their aim). With a pikeman you can run off way faster and for melee you're still save due to the longer range. Ever thought about that? Maybe yes. Maybe a Legio can survive a hit more when shot, then on the other hand, we're meant to bring slower throwing weaps which take longer to throw and you need to peek longer. If we're talking about throwing at the cades, noone of us should get shot in the best case, if it happens place a cade or look for a better spot. I have a MP. I have a Legio. Both have the same throwing abilities (besides more accuracy on the MP side) but yet I choose Legio over any Pikeman due to the fact it allows me to use 1h rather than polearms (which I personally dislike in any Warband mod). Its an alternative for those like me who prefer that 1h/throwing combination over any polearms/throwing combination.
