Fabr 116 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) First I want to talk about chieftain. All of his damage dealing abilities are % of the character's damage. The problem is that these percentages are unnecessarily high, even more so for an aoe class. And yet a hybrid chieftain (physical mace + magic mace) gets more magic damage than someone who uses a staff, with 2 magic maces and accessories that increase the percentage of magic damage they get extremely high magic damage, perfect to abuse the high values of his skills. That's where the snooping army comes in. • He can easily hit 3 members of a party or even more thanks to the large damage area. • Disproportionately high damage. That's 5 hits for 55% of the character's magic damage, adding all 5 hits gives a total of 275% maximum damage. There are 5 seconds of effect, every second is 1 hit, 1 second is very fast. • It can't even be dodged. It's one hit, then another, then when you realize your party has lost a lot of hp because of 1 skill. Edited July 17, 2021 by Fabr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chieftain is a damage class. It has been designed to help the Legion side to challenge the Sentinel side in terms of movements and damage. Nerfing its damage output without giving another mean capable to replace the nerfed skill is like removing one of the healing abilities of a Healer because "it heals too much" and replacing it with no skills. Yes, we have seen classes who have received such nerfs, but they then received a mean to either compensate or simply they received a buff on other skills of theirs. (See wardens) 5 minutes ago, Fabr said: A chieftain can kill a BD easily. 1vs1 doesn't show the strenght of a class for two reasons: 1. Game (whether you like it or not) is not designed for 1vs1, and a class strong in 1vs1 might suck in many vs many , the exact same scenario which sees DKs as protagonists. 2. According to this logic, every class capable to kill BD 1vs1 needs urgently a nerf: it's clearly not the way it works, don't you think? One nerf I would make is on Thrashing skill, as 50% dmg reduction AoE + Roots sounds quite broken for a primary skill buffable with relics.

Running doesn't work very well. Depending on where you are even trying to run it will still take a lot of damage because the hits are fast and stop you.

Also running is bad, a group of enemies attacking your group and what to do? run and let them down? 4 hours ago, Higgings said: Chieftain is a damage class.

The chieftain was designed for aoe attacks. The chief sucks at 1v1 and was designed for many vs many as the legion lacks such classes. The only other class that seems to work for many vs many is dk but then again dk sucks because of the many nerfs it got because "it's too overpowered" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still this is not an excuse for the class to have overpowered skills, just because the faction doesn't have those class types. And he's an aoe dmg, but he has much better single target damage skills than the other classes focused on dealing damage to single targets. it's not that bad in 1v1 either, it can kill some classes using anti stun and attacking. 27 minutes ago, Drakoknight said: only other class that seems to work for many vs many is dk but then again dk sucks because of the many nerfs it got because "it's too overpowered" But shaman, necro, lock, hunter are also good.

Speedom 281 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It's not as op if you have high resilience. But I do feel ya when your staff doesn't have much vs duel maces. Honestly, I feel like Chieftains and Templars cancel each other out for war. Legions are stacking with Chieftains. If Sentinels stack more Templar, there will be a topic just like yours.

Many of the chosen classes has the best shield skills in the game. Blood Protection for dk is rather weak due to long cool down, short duration, and needs to be maxed out for anything considerable. Bone Shield is pretty good but doesn't last long. Why can't the Legion have something good without people crying "it's too good". Warden is a excellent tank, Paladin has great shield and great heal, Templar has great stuns, Seeker has great dmg. Barb has decent def and dmg, rogue has stealth, Necro has good healing. Tell me.

Speedom 281 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Overall, the skill is fine where it's at. 55% is not high when you're going against 50% resilience with dmg reduction players(both side in war or arena). The skill is more of an anti dodge class(rogue, ranger, hunter, bd) and high dodge boss more than anything. Here's a tip, Chieftains always cast that skill 2nd after wolf to close in the gap. If you're using a class with some kiting abilities, just yeet his/her butt and you'll see them zig zag. Or root them.
