Hero class, waste of gold?
#1
So just spent 750k on Master Peltast, I must save very disappointed!
The extra throwing skill and power throw are hardly noticeable plus I had 11 athletics as a t4 pike t2 archer, so have now dropped to 10 athletics Sad

Some of the Hero classes need a bigger boost imo, My Royal guard makes a big difference shielding for example, which I was happy with.

Your thoughts please.

i defiantly don't think it was a waste of gold Wink

Class chosen : Marauder

Pro's : unholy slashing speed with very decent power strike , thus enabling you to punch through even the most heavily armed bots.
          athletics has remained at 10 which still enables kiting and escape ability's, throwing has remained at 300 (which is all ive known Smile

con's: 5 iron flesh has left me rather squishy and with armor with less def than a t3 inf i have died to many embarrassing bots.
          ( hoping gold lamella armor makes a difference )

All in all I'm extremely pleased with the upgrade as it has helped to hammer home the importance of not just running off and ramboing , but rather staying in a supportive role letting the wpf and ps do the talking at the slashing line Smile

There is a couple of Hero Classes out there that I think is most effective when you have a high grade legendary. As an example I can take the Zweihander, I think they are most effective when you have a great two-handed legendary (AGS, EK, VGS). Otherwise I think both the Legionnaire and Royal Guard are better choices for the commando. In the Pikeman Section I feel the same. For the time being, I believe most useful to be a Master Peltast when you have Twigs or Dragon Breath. In other cases I feel that the two other classes are more cost-efficient. I don't really know how it is on xbow or archer, but I guess there are similar cases there.

Please note that these are my own opinions and evaluations of the cost of different items. I have no greater knowledge on the new items or items to come, and thus I want you to reading a bit yourself before taking my advice. I'm only stating how I reasoned when choosing Hero Classes together with Simpleton.

EDIT: Just want to add that a Zweihander or Master Peltast is no way near useless if you don't have legendaries. Atleast for Zweihanders there are plenty of affordable crafting weapons that are excellent.

This^^^^^^  Peltast need a boost in throwing skill or a exclusive throwing weapon on par with twigs imo.

I think they will add a class-specific throwing weapon for them. It's just a matter of time imo.

Yup they should be adding at least two new throwing weapons from the modelling contest, I imagine at least one would be exclusive


I have a master peltast and I use Craftable Throwing Spears

Personally I've loved the hero class as it allows me to throw a bit faster and with a bit more power; some enemies die in 2 hits now instead of 3. And at the same time i'm just as good at running/slashing/taking damage as I was before, so there are no drawbacks.

Admittedly I would love to see a little bit more of a throwing proficiency boost for this class just to improve accuracy (since even master peltast is very inaccurate with throwing weapons, but this isn't really much of an issue)

To me it feels like it was worth the money  Smile

This is very good new Smile

I have thought of crafting these, 10 ammo is big let down.  I mean archers get more ammo the better the arrows, but pikeman Sad
