MA engineer anyone?
Ima have to agree with that, engi's imo have OP support roles, 7x team blockers are a bit much, though i do insist that the current self blockers not be removed from the class, spec blockers should not be a self refreshing spec avoiding thing (especially with the changes to FA/AS/SA coming up) what would be nice would be a chance to actually get some use from the DB nano other than PVP, i mean its nice to have, but it takes alot from many professions when you remove their specials just by having an engineer in your team
The trick of parrying a ranged weapon, is not to parry the bullet, but the end of the gun. In the event you dont parry the gun, you dont stand in the bullet path.
But under that rationale that you posted, Kintaii, does this mean we will be seeing full auto shotguns any time soon?? They have them already in modern day, why not in the future?

What Means should have really done is post a random list of proposed balance changes, all out of context. Then all the whiners would have arthritis by the time a comprehensive list is posted.

Well that is because it is 1hb right? At least last I checked both the shield and staff were 1hb allowing you to dual wield them. That would be why you get no options for 2hb. But the fact it is a melee weapon still should enable you as an MP, engi, doc, etc to still get the benefits of this as a melee player.

Sort of like the OT Backup Pundit, Very Nice MTI SO1210 and Galahad Inc. 055 Police Lobster?
But without the other stats and some decent damage? :P
As for my thoughts on the parry/riposte being fixed, its a good thing it just needs fine balancing and maybe something shiny for range users (like perhaps roots and snares that are worth using)
Gee Means, thanks. Thanks for giving support professions the shaft, again.
Enivejs... Parry dis.
Not really. if parry stacks with blockers against my suggestion;
then such an engineer's use would only be that of a defensive support role for ninja'ing cap points in BS, and MAYBE a hard-to-kill warp taxi for towers, but warp taxi's usually cast that really long nano in safe zones anyhow.
nope, he doen't answered his question.
the staff is also a melee weapon, and a mp cant use the melee-perks from ai line :-p
i ll also wanna know the answer for his question, and additional, why mp cant use melee-perks with melee-weapon (staff from dust quest) equipped.
OMG, Means!!! I lub jooooo!!!!!!!!!!
looking forward to all the progress, keep it up
