igfod13 -> RE: TLMs not as OP as ppl think (12/9/2011 3:18:54)

Sadly, in terms of average skills on average, TLM is in fact not OP. This is greatly affected by their many striking skills, which all can be blocked. But even factoring in the "best" skills maxed and at lvl 5, TLM still has a lower average index for what I calculated it to be than the other classes. However, my index did not take into account skills at level 1, where tactical mercs have a huge advantage due to striking skills being that much better than casting skills at level 1. Point: Tactical mercs are thought to be OP because, well, you need "luck"(blocks) to beat them, which in reality is just statistics. HOWEVER, Tactical mercs are pretty much the best in terms of "build synergy". Also, they have the best skill in the game in hybrid armor, so it is understandable despite my math that it is one of the better, if not the best class. Normal mercs are very UP though, and BM is a bit UP. Otherwise classes are "sort of" balanced. Still, if balance is to be achieved, all skills need to be balanced so that they are more or less equal. @PD I have mathematical proof if you want it. -okdude
