Dueling Sword should be nerfed and here is why – long discussion post

[Ralendil]

@jackjackson

Remove agile and change rending across the board. It’s a bad mechanic that trivializes armored enemies. That alone should be enough to reign knife and duelling in.

Disagree about removing one blessing or a mechanic

BUT, rending is something too strong. It should be lowered on blessings and talents. Nerfing only blessing would be a massive buff of several builds (like veteran with onslaught)

@gpkgpk

Your arguments make zero sense.
How is the ultimate game difficulty in any way good if all it takes is 1 or 2 good (not great) players and 2 anything to win? Where’s the challenge? Where’s the fun? You have nothing to strive for.
If all you wanna do is button-mash and face-tank, lower difficulties exist for that.

Dexta have difficulties with the game. But instead of trying to see what goes wrong with how his choices on builds / weapons / blessings, he wants everything buffed to make highest difficulties enough easy for him.

@Dexta I repeat you. There is no shame to need help. There is no shame to play a lower difficulty.
I let you consult one of the first threads I created on this forum:

Why there is so much difference, in term of difficulty, between malice and heresy

Maybe I am alone… but I think that malice is toooooo easy… and heresy a little too hard. I really think that there is a difficulty level that is missing between the two. Don’t make me wrong. I love heresy but… so many games lost and so few rewards. Then it seems better to farm malice. But Malice is so boring… This point is really a problem for me as I don’t have a difficulty level that is right for me… Anyone else has the same feeling ?
