Re: Nord Deserter - Yvain - 13-01-2013
Hi,
I had a quite similar idea, so I will develop mine, If you don't mind.
Creating a new class, even if I was thinking about a swadian one, which looks like Huscarls, could be great.
Features :
- good at 1h, shield, throwing AXES, able to wear quite good armor, but good in athletics anyway.
- looks like skirm class at first glance (same melee/range balance)
- while skirms are good at polearms and throw javelins, 'huscarls' are good at 1h and throw axes.
- while skirms are fast, huscarls are more like 'heavy infantry'.
Note that the main three swadian team functions are : shield, slash, shoot at range ;
Commandos can either shield or slash
Pikemen can either shoot or slash
I seems interesting that 'huscarls' could either shoot or shield. (Even if they are also good warriors with 1h weapon and shield). And it will enable commandos to slash a bit more often.
Personal opinion : when I started playing NI I was about to choose skirm class, thinking about a heavy soldier good at throwing, 1handed weapon and shield, when I realized the 4th tier was "pikeman". Too bad !
.So I chose commando.I don't think that will unbalance the class system ; it won't make the class system more complicated, it will only diversify swadian army.

Re: Nord Deserter - Yvain - 13-01-2013
Sure it wouldÂ
but you know that tier 3 hybrid characters are not excellent... they could need new and adequate equipment. In fact, a correct choice would be sergeant+h skirm+crossbowman, giving 8 powerstrike and 7 shield. But you can only get sergeant armors, and you won't be powerful at range.Can we make do with tier-3 hybrid classes ?

I have a sergeant/Heavy skirmisher that I've been playing a lot. I load out with banded mail, fearsome, aurora blade and a dragon halberd. It's really fun to play and you get a decent amount lf kills as well. I also have a heavy skirm/man at arm hybrid but that's a different story
Re: Nord Deserter - Sphinx - 14-01-2013

Yes, I'd like to see a wave of nords that just hold up their shields at spawn and wait for swadians to come.

Re: Nord Deserter - Cockerel - 04-02-2013
I would be for such a new class, because commandos can't always shield. During a battle the team is sometimes defeated because no one wants to shield. Usually pikemen slash and commandos must shield. I'm sure that other commando players will agree with this.
EDIT : Depends of course on the coming 0.5.0 update. But I hope devs will not ignore this problem while working on the patch.
