“Long Sword is OP” ☠️ | Dark and Darker | PVP

[@themasterseye]

Really wish Ironmace would make movespeed penalties on weapons stay on as long as the weapon is equipped. Whether it is in your hands or not. That and bows/daggers should have their armor pen reduced by at least half. I understand the need to be able to disengage in a game like this, but right now it just feels like it is too easy. It is always on the kiter to make a big enough mistake, and the chaser to make none whatsoever. The warlock and the ranger just have too reliable of get out of jail free cards in their kits with Phantomize, and forceful shot. Druids arent far behind, but at least druids can be killed by a well thrown torch when they rat out.

[@iliseiandrei9158]

Ranger is shit and you are just bad, the class needs 10 Times more skill gap than a fighter they need to know where they run if they can actually outrun you, if you can win in melee, you NEED to hit your shots you need to clear pve and make rooms as accessible to you as possible, you need to remember where your traps are and you also need to build a crazy amount of ms. Ranger is only decent with 300-400 gear score cause the broken true damage mechanic, otherwise they are hard to play and dogshit in trios you literally need to build a comp around them when a brain-dead class like fighter just presses W and wins. The class needs a revamp but it is definitely one of the worst ones out there.

[@alimoorad5998]

Yes! Very very true! Move speed + Range is honestly very toxic.

[@malikborgna707]

delusional take

[@Gary_The_Metro]

IMO, bows shouldn't have armour pen at all bar maybe the longbow. If you want armour pen? use a crossbow or a longbow, something slow. You want rate of fire? fine then you don't get armour pen. Same for daggers tbh. Rogues have a perk to make their daggers get 20% extra armour pen. On top of all the true damage stuff they get. current state of the game a rogue can outright facetank a longsword fighter and know that he will out-damage the fighter. He doesn't need to play it smart, dodge well, or even just have good positioning. A rogue just needs to W key into your face and hold LMB and he will simply win.

[@ickyfist]

The whining is getting a bit silly though. Like stop crying about longsword when you aren't landing any parries, that's what it's balanced around. If it was as strong as other 2-handers while also having parry it would be completely busted. Also him sarcastically saying sprint is overpowered when he can't catch a move speed ranger while he has his longsword out and the ranger has his weapons put away, like bro. You don't beat rangers by rushing them anyway as a fighter, you beat them by out-dps'ing them at range because you have plate.

Fighter is literally a better ranger and long sword is one of the best weapons in the game parries do a million damage I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic in this video or genuinely serious

[@Blunteed]

Like ranger is probably C tier class B at best lol

[@cjfox2311]

Here’s a half baked take that might have some merit: Each classes has one of their perks baked into the base class. Use your imagination for which perk for which class, but if fighter inherently had swift, they could justify heavier armor more easily without having to give up another perk. This could open up multiclassing again if these baked in perks were tied to the class. Like, a level 1 fighter gets swift naturally, and at level 11, they can naturally have like Defense mastery or something, and at level 21 they naturally get weapon mastery. Extrapolate this other classes, and we can see something of a half decent idea forming.

[@cjfox2311]

Also, long sword should be fighter exclusive.

[@timbaak]

I don't think they should ever bring back multi classing, I just can't see it ever being balanced. Imagine a fighter with phantomize. It's literally just a better sprint.

@@supachi4319 in my opinion the way he’s engaging them in this video is probably not how you should go about it. Many instances of W-keying through doorways and not being aware of common trap spots, pushing w/ abilities on cooldown. I don’t expect that you’d ever be able to do well against a ranger with his setup, and that probably makes fighting them seem more difficult than it actually is. the only redeeming quality of the longsword is the reposte and when you face an enemy that you can’t do that to, you’re just fighting at a massive disadvantage.

As a druid/cleric main, I have no clue how that druid was able to get that tanky. My first guess was that he specc'd into pure vigor, but that's not possible because he had a straw hat instead of a forest hood/leather cap. The purple aura, while I haven't tested, is probably from sun and moon perk which grants 3 vigor. If I had to guess he probably used barkskin armour and maybe tree of life? I didnt see a tree but it would have increased his vigor by an additional 5.

Hey Sparky! Got into Dark and Darker a few weeks ago. Maybe have 60 hours in it at this point, but I’m hooked lol.

[@alimoorad5998]

Man...as always, great gameplay! You're just so damn good at longsword it's amazing! While the match against the ranger was infuriating to watch, I am kind of glad that I'm not the only one struggling against range in general (Ranger, Spell Casters, Naked Rogues with that stupid little hand crossbow thing). I'm newish to the game so I gues my comment would not carry much weight but whoever says Fighter is OP or sprint is broken is out of their mind. Sprint DEFINITELY needs to be buffed. If they arent going to buff sprint, they must buff second wind by a lot because half your health, if not all, goes while trying to chase naked rangers/rogues/wizards etc etc. Move speed Range is just spoiling the game. Its sad cause now it seems like the only way a fighter can be competitive is by being a ranger. Anyway, Thanks for the video!

[@Gary_The_Metro]

@@blakedavis4649 If your argument is "just play a pseudo-rogue if you want to be a fighter" i'd say the issue is definitely that the game is unbalanced. Imagine the insanity that would ensue if people told wizards to just use crossbows or rangers to just engage in melee. Everyone would agree that it's ridiculous to expect a class to basically just, not play as it's class if you want to have fun and have any chance at winning. yes, it's high tier pvp. But if only one or two things are viable in your high tier pvp, it's balance is garbage and it's poorly designed. "sure it may not be fun" if any sentence regarding balance starts with that, then you should probably acknowledge that you're making the wrong argument. Saying "he's the meta build so if you don't use the meta build you must lose" is stupid. There will always be a form of meta in any game you play no matter how hard you try. But there's a difference between: Meta means you simply win *almost* regardless of your skill unless the other person also runs the meta Or: Meta means you have the thing that has the best balance of advantages and disadvantages and combined with a good skill level it should allow you more ease at winning but it doesn't practically play the game for you.

I can't stress enough how important it is to build dex/action speed for longsword.

Also to be fair what we see displayed here is not the optimal way to play solo, in solo as any class you really don't want to put on a piece of gear (except for chest piece) that ends up slowing you down, if you look at hardcore solo fighter players they have lightfoot, cloth pants, light gauntlets and chapel always, usually a recurve or survival bow.

[@ickyfist]

Wearing full plate is totally viable in high level solo as long as you are okay with some people getting away from you. If you build for damage and tankiness as a fighter with a bow sometimes people will be able to escape from you if you miss too many shots as they run away (and if they rush you they're dead). But at the same time they can't ever kill you unless you miss like 3 times as many shots as them in which case you deserve to lose anyway and you would have lost way sooner with another build.

[@Gary_The_Metro]

@@ickyfist "Wearing full plate is totally viable in high level solo as long as you are okay with some people getting away from you." full plate only works against timmies. A rogue or ranger can literally just dance around you and engage you with impunity. You try to exit the room? they can open doors at about 2x the speed you can so you literally cannot retreat from them fast enough. You try to push them back again? if it's a rogue their movement speed if they aren't completely incompetent allows them to move in, stab twice, move away in the time it takes you to swing once. Add their inherent massive amount of armour pen to this, and they can outright just out-damage you. In the time you've swung your sword twice, the rogue has stabbed you about 8 times and you are now dead. Not really possible to dodge daggers either unless you have access to high ground. In which case they can just back off and harass you with rupture and poison on a hand crossbow. It doesn't matter how much PDR you have if they have triple your movespeed, attack speed, and only like 10 maybe 20 less health than you. On a weapon that cannot realistically be dodged and that allows them to move at full speed while your movespeed is completely nerfed. Anyone who claims full plate is dangerous, has literally just never actually played full fighter against anything but timmies. hell, as a fighter main if I see another full plate fighter I don't think "oh fuck it's full plate" I just chuckle because I know it is an almost guaranteed win because even if you're tanky, I can just outrun you if I get into any kind of trouble.

The topic here is, is it as confusing as tarkov and i think tarkov is way more confusing for newer players. more players like it because its been out longer and FPS is a more popular genre then "chivalry esque" games like DnD.

[@Sparkykawa]

More than 1000 hours in Tarkov. Got Kappa totally solo. Yeah. I don’t know how Tarkov works for sure.

[@notakai_exe]

longsword so OP it can lose to almost if not any weapon to a face trade cause it has a parry :) but ranger is weak cause all he can do is shoot bow :)

[@Mailmans_kid]

I'd say to nerf cleric because I'd say longsword is actually azz

[@Mailmans_kid]

I play longsword btw

Developers are on crack. Unbalanced shitshow. Just a stupid game

[@sakai4756]

Sparky man I like your content but nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to only play lizard lol I don't get the whole " this fighter is playing a whole different game that I cant play" just because he's wearing a helmet and you're not(which is your choice btw). If lizard is so bad then why do you keep using it and complaining about it

[@Sparkykawa]

Because I want it balanced. This is not complicated.

im so tired of ranged man.

all players do in this game is run really wish the devs didnt encourage cowards

bro imagine bitching about sprint(4:05) nerfs when u are rocking full pdr(plate) armor like really man? oh nooo i cant catch up to the full leather guy in my full plate armor. serves u right bro idk what world u should be able to catch people while wearing plate armor

[@dylanmoss4763]

look what happened to the rogue that tried to melee him. literally did no damage to him and just got 2-3 tapped. rogue even got a free arrow shot while he was looting. (2:50)

[@dylanmoss4763]

wow huge difference in a ranger that plays well and a ranger that doesnt (6:36) and u wonder why they are going to run 24/7. they almost do no damage to you and have to hit you with like 20 arrows for a kill. and thats if they dont miss

[@dylanmoss4763]

like bro u do so much more damage with ur bow than a ranger does. u can literally 5 shot him but instead of u always just run at him without looking for traps. LMFAO

We found the entitled ranger main... So what you need to stop and accept death aganist bow because you can never catch up and runaway from him ? if pdr was too powerful than rangers who hit their targets couldnt kill pdr players. But what happrns is that if ranger can aim pdr fighter can only tank one or two more hit.

[@dylanmoss4763]

yeah dude lets turn every class into unga bunga hold w =). lets have no class identity! to me it just sounds like u want fighter to be the best class and have absolutely 0 counterplay

[@billistic4199]

its nerfing longsword time my doods

[@kingbenjamin8197]

People saying "longsword is OP" 100% just mean they want riposte nerfed... literally every longsword player would be totally fine with a damage nerf to riposte if we got 1) some on hit slow, how are one handed weapons you can move quicker holding and swing quicker slowing people more 2) make the 1,2,3 attacks actually move at a reasonable speed so you don't give somebody a chance to hit you about 3x the moment you start an attack. The thing literally forces you into trying to parry everything in pvp because it brings nothing else to the fight, nerfing riposte without other changes just kills the weapon

[@yaezhing7579]

Dude im a fighter player too you simply just use a bow and just shoot back and no ranger can beat you bc of PDR. Youre losing to rangers because you are chasing them like a dog

[@Sparkykawa]

Why should I have to run a specific perk and weapon just to not auto-lose against 50% of the people in solos?

[@yaezhing7579]

@@Sparkykawa why should you have to build movespeed to not auto lose against every class on ranger? why should you have to build true damage to not lose to every fighter. you always have to play to your strengths and weaknesses

[@Sparkykawa]

@@yaezhing7579 Ranger autowins to anyone who touches their traps, regardless of movespeed. Or even if they land their shots instead of miss 20-30 shots while kiting infinitely. I need to build movespeed too because its the only thing that matters.

[@yaezhing7579]

@@Sparkykawa Aye ill completely agree traps are dumb as shit, but the argument of they will win if they land their shots is kinda silly every ranged class will win if they land all their shots. If a mage hits every spell they will always win. if you even using a crossbow hits every headshot on a ranger you will always win.

[@alimoorad5998]

​@@yaezhing7579Hey man. I think the problem is that if a Fighter ALSO needs to use range to be succesfull then there is something inherently wrong with the balance/execution of range and move speed with this game. I feel like a lot of people gravitate to this game because its an extraction with Melee combat and range. But when range becomes the most viable option and you handicap yourself if you don't use a bow then I think that points to balancing issues. I think range SHOULD be in the game but there needs to be certain changes made. As a fighter player, I died the other day to a naked Rogue who used his poison little hand crossbow thingy after chasing him for a long time..he would just run..id chase infinitely and when id be half health or less id try to heal but he would catch up to me quicker. Then he just stabbed me once and he won. I think sprint needs to be buffed where you can actually reach the opponent. Or second wind needs to be buffed where you can use it more than once but with a loooong ass cooldown so it doesnt get OP against other Melee users.

[@RetroRey777]

not being ironic when saying sprint is op when its literally the best skill in the game 💀

[@Sparkykawa]

2 seconds of 15% movespeed really goes hard 💀💀

People who W left click spam in every fight: "Longsword is OP"

[@CryMercy]

FIRST

[@mr.officialkir]

If anything the longsword needs a buff I’m tired of the middle of the blade bein a 50/50 on whether the parry box will register a hit or not, easy fix to ranger make them the slowest class a ranger doesn’t deserve high movement speed bows should be heavier n arrows should have weight for a movement speed debuff getting close should be a death sentence they shouldn’t be allowed to run away n shot you when you or they have closed the distance

[@Gary_The_Metro]

I see what you're saying but the problem with that is the fact that a lot of the map is narrow hallways and corners. If a ranger can't run at all, they'll be useless. Especially outside of a team. And maybe that's how it should be, not that I'm a fan of it but maybe the problem is that they're trying to simultaneously balance the game around teams and solo's. And I don't think that's really possible. A better thing to do would be for spell casting/bow drawing during jumps to either take considerably longer or be outright impossible. If they can't just bunnyhop away their kiting ability is less BS, but they'll still be able to actually run away. And if they do want to attack you? they need to make sure they actually created distance, and not just created 3 meters of distance. There also needs to be either a heavier movement speed debuff on casting spells, or on simply holding a spellbook/crystal ball in general.

[@iliseiandrei9158]

Ranger is a shit class and you are mad cause your 75% PDR 300 movement speed fighter can't use their brain properly to try and counter a class that is SUPPOSED to be faster than you cause they are dog shit in melee combat, get a grip

[@Xorremis]

wtf =(

More fun to die to a rogue dodging you with ms then to get kited by a ranger imo

The ranger was just good, longsoy fighters crying because they finally run into a ranger that's built correctly and plays well so they can't just sprint and savage them without any problems KEKW

its actually hilarious, watching as they rage about a ranger used ranged. like wow who would have thought. makes it seems like they just dont want ranged in this game and every class should be unga bunga hold w and left click xd

[@ilpilgrim]

think the longsword is fine its the counter/block damage i think should be nerf *shrug*

[@Zistac7]

Longsword is OP and bad at the same time... quite literally a broken weapon. The hitboxes suck, but they also never coded in weapon impact on it so you can parry things that shouldn't be possible according to their descriptions in game and on the wiki.

[@dethgnome]

Longsword isn't remotely OP, but Sprint absolutely is and doesn't have any counter-play. You're whining about people claiming sprint is OP when you're literally matching his speed WITH YOUR WEAPON OUT. Idk how you can un-equip your chestplate to chase a druid, but can't think to stow your weapon before sprinting.

[@CodyisKing]

🤡

[@Shuu2108]

And then you can't pull out your weapon beacuse it slows you too much when you're actually close, I mean think about commenting. And sprint isn't broken, ambush is like a sprint that also gives you damage rage is like a sprint that also gives you damage and survivability noone cares that it actually reduces pdr sprint is called sprint and its remotely worse than any other movement ability in this game and oh yeah phantomise gives you ms while you're invulnerable to non aoe attacks, bruh. If sprint was combined with breakthrough it would be way better The only way the current sprint is viable is if you click it while you're in the enemy's face beacuse only the first couple of seconds of sprint actually matter.

[@Gary_The_Metro]

Bro how is sprint OP, like seriously HOW. "Oh but you see you match his speed with weapon out" he matches his speed for the first like 2 seconds. It gives you a total speed buff equivalent to any other classes' movement speed buff, with it only lasting 6 seconds and if you want to actually hurt people it being effectively pointless against a kiter. And it doesn't matter if you can keep up if it barely allows you to do any damage against people who are only putting their weapons away. Tell me what makes sprint more OP than ANY other classes' equivalent.
