Fists & Claws break PWI ?

There are so many things broken with the mechanics in this game you should just stop caring. Right now 5a/s gear is all very expensive and comes at least in part from packs. This makes PWE money. Why would they do anything that decreases their income?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Interval is just broken....Its also a 100% gear based attribute. I can take a cleric or wizard, deck them out in minus interval gear, and chances are they will deal more dps with that then with their normal skills. Sure they would suck for everything else besides dding...but this is besides the point. And sins getting 5 with daggers is even more broken then fists with 5.
When it comes to minus interval...some classes have better buffs to do more damage than others, but overall for any class it works the same. In other words, take an identical -int build on pwi calc, and just swap the class type...nothing really changes aside from a few class specific skills and the physical damage due to class str mods. Arcanes also do not get +phys weap damage from spark eruptions, so deal far less damage...but the point of the matter is when you can take an identical build for every single class in the game...that has almost the same results for every single class in the game....and for any non caster class in the game is insanely OP....thats broken.
I highly doubt any of this stuff will ever be fixed either considering how much money has already been invested in these kinds of builds...it would really really make alot of cash shoppers extremely angry. Or if they made this bm specific like it should be...the entire archer community would go rage quit on them. So basically because nothing was done early on it is now impossible to fix this problem without creating massive amounts of other problems.0 -

With HP buff, you have 5.8k life, but we're only talking about +5 refines that can be attained by using mirages.

I think the only thing that could make this "issue" disappear is to fix the -interval bonus gain with additional weapons (daggers/claws). Make the speed bonus for these weapons abit lower. In others words, slightly nerf it. And 5 att/s is way beyond balance. If with demon spark u could get to 3.5 att/s it would be ok i guess. Still kinda impressive speed imo. So every still will be able to use fist/claws but i think then classes that are kinda suppose to use other weapons, will stick to it, instead of runing with "glowing hands".
p.s. i ain't jealous to these cash shopped guys who have the max speed - good for them. And it's not their fault they have such gear and can pretty solo bosses - the pwi gave such opportunity and it would be not wise not to use it if u are able to do so. The game itself needs more balance.
And the poll is wrong. Everyone who want's to use any weapon would be allowed to. It's their choice. And as i said already, i think if the attack speed bonus for fist would get nerfed - archers (mentioned in the poll) would not go to claws/fists all the way.0 -

My suggestion on -Interval (which i will keep saying till everyone who reads the forums sees it, cause people tend to agree) isnt a nerf exactly. but rather a change over to a % based system. if every -.05 Interval translated to -5%, this would be a "nerf" to any weapon faster then 1 aps. what used to be -.5 Int which would bring .7 speed fists to .2 (which is 5 aps) would instead bring it to .35 (which is 2.85 aps) which is similar to the idea of a 3aps cap. However, this would actually be a beneficial change to weapons which start out slower then 1 aps. Allowing weapons like axes and bows to receive a greater benefit (cause atm, to slow weapons, -Int is barely felt). Archers with the slowest weapons would indeed retain their role (as was intended by the devs) as highest physical dps.0 -

Axes which start out at half the speed of fists would still be half the speed of fists. since fists do more dps 1v1 then axes, they would STILL do more dps then axes in 1v1. Just the balance between the 2 weapons wouldnt be completely destroyed. It would be in line with channelling, where every weapon receives an equal % increase in DPS. Nothing would be broken at all. In fact alot of Axes skill spam, and since -Interval doesnt effect Skills, it would still be of greater benefit to fists who go on auto-attack and make a sandwich.0 -

That doesn't make sense. If weapon A attacks twice as fast as weapon B but due to adds weapon B is able to benefit more then weapon A (according to you); B would would slowly gain on weapon A. Thus an imbalance would happen. And someone would figure a way to capitalize on it.

fist users would spend more time sparked because they spark more often due to building chi faster with higher attack speed. even if you compare fist vs ranged wep with no -interval equip, fist DPS still wins if the bm sparks every chance he getsElena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.

I dont understand whats so hard to comprehend about % based interval system being equal gains for all.
If person A does x dps
& person B does y dps
now they each have -50% Interval
then person A does 2x dps
and person B does 2y dps
The proportion of dps remains constant.
If A was originally 1.3 of B, its STILL 1.3 of B.
If A was originally .8 of B, its STILL .8 of B.
Whatever the scaling of the weapons was prior to level 95ish (uber -Interval gear starting) it would STILL be proportional to each other. Axes (or weapon are not gaining any greater advantage of it then fists are. Axes were less dps then fists 1v1, but better then fists in AoE. That would not change. If Axes do less then fists 1v1, and they do twice as much, and fists do twice as much (both from -50% Interval) Fists would STILL do more dmg in 1v1 then axes. It just would no longer jump from fists doing like 1.5x as much as axes to fists doing 6 times as much damage axes. It would stay at 1.5x as much as axes.
I dont know any way to explain it better then that.
Edit:Quilue - Sanctuary wrote: »fist users would spend more time sparked because they spark more often due to building chi faster with higher attack speed. even if you compare fist vs ranged wep with no -interval equip, fist DPS still wins if the bm sparks every chance he gets
Also this is right. Regardless fists still gain faster chi due to faster weapons and a constant chi per hit for all weapons of 5 chi. As such, they can get enough chi to triple spark in half the time (roughly, saying fists are twice as fast as axes, proportion maybe slightly off). As such they can spark nearly twice as much as Axe users.
On another note, although i mentioned it already, Axes users tend to spam skills for their AOEs. Skill usage is uneffected by -Interval as it only affects auto-attck speed. This is another way in which fists take greater advantage of -Interval even if it was % based and not the way it is now.
In the end, even a % based Interval system would win out for fists, just not nearly to the extent in which it currently does.0 -

Oh I understand % just fine.
But you state above...." However, this would actually be a beneficial change to weapons which start out slower then 1 aps."
So I"m asking you to prove it with math. With the attack formula. That's all. Let me see the hard evidence of your suggestion. Lets see the DPS each would get. Lets compare to what each would have due to your fix....I asked it in my last post. And you have yet to show me anything worth while. Weapon must be same grade/similar. (before fix;fix comparison ideal)
@Quile - Yes that's the way it is. Faster weapon build chi faster. But if you are increasing the attack rate of weapons in a different manner then, as I asked above I would like to see the math of what the DPS change would be. Axes/bows deal more damage per hit...if you are giving them the better return on an add (changing game mechanics.) Thus DPS.Retired

The attack formula isnt needed because -Interval isnt a piece of the attack formula. Whatever their attack per hit was prior, it would still be.
And when i say beneficial. I mean the way it is now;
Axes start with approximately 1.2 base interval. At -.5 Interval they become 0.7 interval.
In this they go from .83 aps to 1.43 aps. That gives them a 1.43/.83 = 172%, or 72% boost in DPS.
Fistsstart with approximately .7 base interval. At -.5 Interval they become 0.2 interval.
In this they go from 1.43 aps to 5 aps. That gives them a 5.0/1.43 = 350% or 250% boost in DPS.
Hence the currently broken system of static -Interval numbers. For faster weapons they get a MUCH larger boost in DPS.
Percentage based -Interval would make each weapon gain 100% more DPS for -50% Interval. This is a greater boost for slow weapons, but a reduction in boost for faster weapons. Thats how i say its beneficial to slow weapons. Not that they get more out of it then fists would, but instead that they stop getting less out of it, to now getting equal out of it.0 -
what slyph is probably getting at is that a percentage decrease in attack interval benefits slower weapons more compared to flat decrease in attack interval.

/Discuss.
What the point of having any classes when a 5 aps char can solo an instance? BM + archer + sin or barbs anyone that can be perma sparked with max - interval, they can all solo every endgame instance in the game.
And it will also be 10 times faster than a regular party rushing it with normal DDs.
So i really cant find any argument why only BMs should be able to equip fists.
Its like saying only BMs and sins are allowed to be endgame tanks and DDs - rest of the classes will only have a purpose in TW and group pvp.0 -

Fists are really only OP once you get at least 5 aps sparked which u need 95/99 for. No clue why you would use fists at 70 since you will have terrible **** dps anyway, makes more sense using axes as main weapon at that lvl.

What's broken is the interval system and how good it becomes.
I mean think about it, if it wasn't this overpowered people wouldn't actually strive for it, especially archers and barbs without the mastery. But they do because it's OP even for them.
5 atk/sec is overpowered yes, especially from BMs who have mastery & good survival too, on top of having secondary weapon if needed (axe mostly) for different things than pure raw single target DPS. A 5 atk/sec sin is also OP, same as archer & barb although these last 2 a little bit less.
Still your poll sucks, it's like saying only BMs should be overpowered in that aspect. It is more balanced this way, allowing more people to be OP, but still sucks, since casters are left out.
So either leave it as it is (changing to BM-only is worse), or much better but probably won't happen: change interval system. Cap it at 3 or something more reasonable, or make it % based like proposed.First 103 on Raging Tide 30 Oct 2010

I wanna use daggers on my archer but I cant, doesnt make it less fun.
I just wanna say, that since every class can use fists, I wanna be able to use crossbows. I dont care about the speed of the attack, I just wanna be able to use a crossbow. And I wanna give my barb a slingshot so he can look goofy holding the little peashooter. And make end game weapons for all classes too while your at it! I want an axe of the monarch mind on my barb! Oh Oh!! better! I want a bow of the demon hunter on my sin along with my end game daggers too!!!
If they make claws/fists bm specific will it break the game? No, not really, because ultimately in terms of balancing the game, it will make it more balanced, especially if they link it to an attack speed cap.
Just kinda awkward that people are complaining more about the fact that they're being "supposedly" made bm specific and "allegedly" the speed is being dropped, than the whole fact that their own personal skills of their classes aren't more powerful to combat this issue. Where's the complaint that -channeling doesn't decrease enough to get to 5 skills per second? Or how about the complaint that there's no weapon add that's a "-3% casting time?"
Oh and how about this? the whole term "BLADEMASTER?" Why cant they use daggers? Daggers are bladed right? Or how about why cant Blademasters use crossbows? Bolts have blades on them right?
Oh heres a better one for you caster types! Why don't all casters get soulforce? Why doesn't soulforce effect all other classes attacks?
What about Rage stat? Why cant bm's and barbs raise their rage?
What about an Aggro-meter? People play barbs to tank right? I'm sure they'd like to know who's about to snitch aggro right?
There needs to be a happy median met one way or another, and I for one welcome the class specific weapons. Bring it on please!Apparently its more difficult to milk a smurf than originally conceived..0 -

I started with magic on ENGMY and got pretty bored just sitting around watching my pet hit stuff, so when I came here I started the game with fists. I switched back at 70 , and didn't plan to switch again until 90.
I always saw fists and claws as the one random weapon that anyone could use-considering they never said a specific class.
That's one of the things that makes this game attractive, versatility.
Fish weapons don't really count, since they are new and of course that code wasn't implemented in old classes.0 -
