As someone who played RG long enough to complete both Rise from the Ashes and Rise from the Ashes II, I've never felt bored of that class. I've heard stuff like "RG can only shield" quite often, and to my ears, it sounds the same as saying "sentry cannot use bows", or "pavise can't use xbows".
I've had many occurrences when I was playing RG (and shielding) while having more kills than most players on the server.
I agree with that as a Pavise using eagle with 300 ping that quite often almost top or top score with people in game using the best gear but as I said in my 1st post. Its not a matter of can't it's a matter of he doesn't excel versus his competition
I was getting on top of the score board with 300 ping with tr4 sniper getting kills means nothing we talking about the class itself. A waste of 750k atm for me and probably a lot of people at this point with not much compelling reasons to make one at high investment as the class offers nothing unique. This isn't about how good your skills are with a class it's the fact Rg as a class actually has nothing to offer and is arguably badly designed vs his counterparts at this point for reasons Ive talked about
There is Zwei, Leg, PC, Halb, Hoplite, Sentry, Ranger that all have arguably better capabilities in melee then RG. All of them at this point other then Sentry offer something other then that on-top of the class as well. Hoplite can shield, Ranger has "good" armour, Halb has good armour, etc
Pavise has the 2nd best 1h skill in the game + 2nd best shielding + can used things like Eagle and armour wise isn't that far behind Rg. On rag it's comparing a thing that will 2-3 hit you vs 4-5 is that small amount of armour really worth it when you consider how powerful all the tools Pc has?
It's like Leg has the best 1h skill in game 2nd best throwing and armour that's the same as Rg effectively being a variation that is lighter. If you are shielding as Leg and your shield doesn't break you are literally better then RG in massive ways. The times Rg is better is when your team is ass and I would argue you should probably just wipe at that point. Other is if you want to be afk and not take advantage of the fact you can repair shields
And you need to ask yourself how many runs at this point is RG actually going to be better in that scenario when I see the most ass teams clear at this point. Things that end runs are people not bulding cades it seems most of the time not the shields themselves going down..
RG in its current state for high investment players that are active in game is a complete joke
