Ok, i need some help to understand NW alittle bit better, ive been told that killing alot of people in NW doesnt give you that amount of points we think it would give, that its all about how much damage u've done in total. Now problem is, i was attacking alot of people on friday and got 3k+ damage all the time sometimes 8k etc, but i didnt get the kills because everytime i attacked i ticked their charms and attacked one more time and there was always someone getting the kill with that last attack. And i was doing this on an Archer, but then i went on to the next territory, the fight was maybe 2-3 minutes shorter, but i killed alot more people there but i didnt attack as much as i did on the previous war and i still got alot more points because of the skills.

My point with all this, is that now since my main is a bm, ill be getting r9rr anytime soon and bms can hit like a tank but i know for sure that ranged classes will always get the kills soon as i lay 1-2 atks, its not like a arcane person is stupid enough to stay in the same spot, that person will do anything to break the stun and move away, and yah some ranged class will get the kill.

But i might be wrong about all of this so if there is anyone who has alot of knowledge about NW and maybe could answer my questions i'd apprecite it.

And the other thing about r9rr that has been bugging me is that, the damage full r9rr people does is rlly ridicilous, specially +12 r9rr, for example a psy can hit a r9rr bm for 8k non crit if he doesnt have any JOSD's and the dod prices are in high demand so their rlly expensive atm. Its been bugging me out how much damage you can do with that set, even tho ill be getting the set my self i still find it pretty stupid that the devs made it that OP.

    you get a lot a lot a lot of contribution for taking damage rather than dealing damage. That really accounts to something. So your bm should be fine with r9r2 cuz u'll definitely soak a lotta damage coming onto you. Also, there's really nothing to be done about psychics +12 or wizards +12 or any class with r9r2 with +12 weapon really. Its literally the end game weapon so thats why it does the damage it does.

    I would say that when you have full r9r2 all +12 and you face against another class with full r9r2 all +12, it'll be like fighting in npc gears with each other with no damage boost on either side.

    However i do have to agree though with psychics. Psychics with +12 everything have a ton of soulforce so maybe that has to be nerfed lol. I mean 70k+ soulforce with insane defense levels(even without JOSD cuz of white voodoo) and that purify weapon..Its just ridiculous

    taking damage results in more contribution than doing dmg. Also when did you join the war? as a war goes on and points are spread out some of the contribution will "leak" similar to how squading for nein event works but to a much lesser extent especially if people in instance have capped their contribution for that war. Soulforce of enemies vs your side also affects how much contribution is awarded.

    On a side note psychic= squishiest arcane class

    I think the ponctuation maths consider stupid things like Soulforce and disconsider things like:
    - Has caused Imobilization on enemy flagger.
    - Has stuned the enemy flagger.
    - Was the executioner of the enemy flagger.
    - Caused damage amplifycation on the enemy flagger.
    - Caused defense reduction on the enemy flagger.
    - Caused Slow on the enemy Flagger.
    - Used elven alacrity on ally flagger.
    - Healed an ally flagger.
    - Stunned/Sealed an enemy 35m the ally flagger.
    - Killed an enemy 35m from the ally flagger.
    - Told flag position correctly in battle chat.
    - Buffed an Ally.
    - Healed an Ally.
    - Was 35m close from the flag when it was grabbed by an ally.

    I am pretty sure NW gives points to players, maybe based on soulforce, on these events:
    - Player is hit
    - Player hits something
    - Player returns the flag.
    - Player is in the battlefield when a flag is returned.
    - Player kills something
    - Player Heals/Buffs an ally (not sure, im not a cleric)
