2 videos? He clearly has 3. After all, he wants all of the fighting styles to be balanced in terms of DPS, not just SWF vs THF. I seem to have misplaced the link to his TWF video, but it's there!

Oh, I've got more. More specifically - harpie named beatdown in EE lines,

Two so far for SWF - 1:08 beatdown & 1:17 beatdown

One so far for THF - 1:28 beatdown

They'll be up soon.

Where's yours?

you're right.  and of course by 'balanced' he means THF>SWF and TWF.

Unless your name is Chai, the burden of proof is on the claimant asshole.

posting two - sorry THREE - videos and calling it a day is lazier than the 'facts' presented by Young Earthers.

I just happen to play a THF toon - so I specifically started a THF vs SWF thread. Doesn't mean I don't want TWF balanced, I just don't play one - so I didn't have any footage of my own to support anything I would have written there. You should try this sometime.

If you want to see how TWF compares to THF, you can look at the countless videos posted by other posters in the past. 

You keep changing the topic to TWF as a way to avoid showing support for why SWF is NOT worthy of a nerf.

Go.

You're right, which is why I used the word "suggestive". I'd love to see more footage from you guys, I don't have the time to sit here and make dozens of videos. I did what I could and posted my findings.

Averaging a 15.5 second difference with a 4.5 variance on one of the datasets. Fucking retard. If you take the slowest SWF time, there's still an 11 second difference.

Now I have an agenda to support a fighting style that I don't use, apparently. Hypocrite.

I don't know. I wasn't saying that you have an agenda as much as I was saying that my disinterest in the TWF style doesn't mean that I don't wish for it to be balanced.

This is why I intentionally started a thread that specifically dealt with THF vs SWF, and it was titled demonstration of SWF DPS. Nothing about it is or was conclusive or all-encompassing.

So, given that you don't give a fuck about TWF, it should be safe to say that you're lobbying for either a buff to THF or a nerf to SWF. Your personal preference is to play THF and you want to defend that fighting style. Otherwise, you would have just converted to SWF and duped ingredients to make another Thunderforged weapon and an orb. You have bias; everyone has bias on what they enjoy. Stop trying to appear objective and you will seem more credible.

Bias?

let's see:

noun
1.
prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

Where am I being unfair here? I'm showing footage of both styles with IDENTICAL builds.

Alright fellas - more data as promised:

SWF Harpie takedown 1:08

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2s3yYYjsjM

SWF Harpie takedown 1:17

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1IoVI9a_4o

THF Harpie Takedown: 1:28

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4g7nKqNBl4

As pointed out earlier, this specific set shows an average difference of 15.5 seconds, varaince 4.5 seconds.

15.5 seconds faster average is like 17.6%.

Obviusly the sample size is nowhere near large enough, but this is what I've got.

It was the devs' intention that SWF be stronger than THF when fighting a single enemy. You are fighting a single enemy and claiming that SWF is unbalanced because it is more powerful in that situation. That's not to even mention that you're using a dwarven axe as the SWF weapon, but a falcion as the THF weapon. That would have been an obvious variable to eliminate.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Seriously though, why is having a new flavour of the month a bad thing? It is about time we had some alternatives. Without it the game becomes stale.

And ... The Point ?

SWF was buffed that way so that it could compete with TWF and THF in DPS.
That's one of the thing that got an overall agreement in the PC when we started looking at the swashbuckler :
It had to provide the same level of DPS as THF or TWF if it was going to be a viable option, otherwise it was going to be wasted dev time. 

So stop getting your panty in a twist : it's not going to be nerfed and the rest is not going to be buffed.

Yeah I think the real problem is that the testing stated as proof by Cetus takes into account his playstyle, gear, PLs and ability and then plugs them into a certain situation.

I fully believe that different results could be reached by different players, playing under different scenarios, with different builds that revolve around different methods of crowd control...

Is TWF relevant in that harpy beat down single target scenario???? Just a thought.

Another thought is I don't see Cetus calling out that Centred Kensai Bladeforged Pali splashes are OP and that A. Either other builds built for DPS be buffed to also have the survivability and dps, or B. To nerf his build.

I think it's all a matter of perspective and that THF can be competitive with SWF if the scenario allows it.

Markedly skewed and veering on the edge of attempting to mislead viewers into observational bias. A better attempt at being veracious would have a red named that doesn't move. Or hit back. Time wasted in video #1 for swf on buffs and boosts was around 10-12 seconds, roughly the same time as for video #2 of swf. However, movement was more off in the 2nd video. Double the movement time from video #1. or around Or around 24 seconds of movement to target. Also healing yourself was not present in video #1 but you did so in video #2.

I havent compared your boost delay times, and movement penalties with thf video #3. it is a waste of time to not test on a stationary non lethal target. There will be too many variables. Your need to heal and stop, your need to move to target, and targets moving back mid swing.

When the enhancement pass came around, he wanted them to buff capstones and pure classes. Same scenario, but substitute SWF for centered kensai and THF for pure fighter.

Don't worry... It was hard enough to make it a viable option for melee... It will definitely not be nerfed.

Now if a whiny bitch can't cope with the fact that SWF is on par with TWF or THF then : *yawn*



The problem is that tthey arent equivalent.

First off twf  on non monks/rogues is just pure garbage....afaict if you move you lose off hand procs.

Thf vs swf? Swf gets more stat damage 2 rather than 1.5 stat, only advantage thf has is double power attack damage (lol) and glancing blows. Swf easily beats both those boosts....30% faster attack speed and double stat damage is amazibg.

I dont want them to nerf swf cause if they do it will never be good again because turbine, but they do need to change thf and twf
to at least make them equivalent.

Also we need epic shield mastery feat Wink

I agree. All of these micro-variables can be picked at ad nauseum in any video, except my movement issues in the 1:17 video actually make more of a case for SWF power.

If you think you can do better, find me a stationary target that doesn't move, doesn't hit back, is easily accessible and that has a large enough hit-point pool for a reasonable estimate. If you can come up with one, then props - that would be cool for us to use from this point forward.

But you haven't, so instead of doing a video of your own, you still have no substance to go off of other than shitty grammar.

As a result, I'll continue doing what I'm doing on the main boards and we'll see if the developers choose to interpret it.

EE Sobrien from 'The Claw of Vulkoor' doesn't really move and is rather harmless, but his hit-point pool isn't too big... I think it's 65k?

EE Darobard from 'Army of Shadow' won't move at all, but he does hit back. His hit-point pool is more within reason for testing. I believe it's around 125k.

Bah, both are "Orange" Named
