Highlander ... the weakest class compared to Hoplite/Barbarian

Gameplay Feedback General Feedback

I’ve got nothing else to think about or say. Hoplite’s Finestra or whatever saves a character 150 DEX where you can put it somewhere else. Highlander, no actual REAL buff that makes them stand out. Hoplites can multi-target attack. Highlander? Their two handers (swords) are shorter in range, can just hit a single target … and nothing much.

On the other hand, Barbs have some nice skills to crush their enemies or move them around. Highlanders rank 3’s only good point is Skull Swing which reduces enemy’s armor to 0. Vertical Slash? Hah … a single strike that does ONLY one damage, very low AoE radius (barely any) and the damage is so bad compared to other Highlander skills.

What more, I saw several videos of people in Swordsman tree (if not Hoplite) having serious trouble with weak monsters that are lvl 200+ - keep in mind these monsters are about 100k+ in health or higher.

No idea, lvl 158 Swordsman … feel like Highlander is going to be absolute garbage in later levels. I’m thinking about redoing my class (130 hours for NOTHING …)

From what Ive gather, barb is a class that falls off later in the game.

#3
  • Crown can reduce int/spr to 1 (yes boss aoe hiting 1, awesome in late game magic bosses)
  • Cross Cut + Skyliner massive dmg
  • Skull Swing 5 armor break last 30 seg (late game also love this)
  • Cross Guard debuff does wonders with any pierce attack

so no HL is a great class

Compared to Hoplite and Barbarian which is a C3 rank class. If you wanna be statistically objective you should compare Highlander to Peltasta.

I think what’s he comparing is C3 Highlander vs C2 Barb and Hoplite.

#7

The fact still stands, its a class that you get at rank 2 vs. a class you have access in rank 3

#8

eh, the class you get at rank 3 is c2 highlander and c1 hoplite, they should be the one compared. otherwise theres no point in this class system, everyone will just forgo c2 of a previous class for the next. Discussion is moot anyway coz highlander at the same rank of barb and hoplite has uses that those 2 classes do not, thats why picking Highlander 3 is still viable for certain builds rather than going for hop 2 or barb 2.

If you’re comparing the single player output, the answer is DUH.

Skull Swing armor reduction is a bonus that applies for your whole party.

And world bosses have a lot of defense.

Btw

I’m pretty sure ‘Hoplite’ alone would also have trouble with 100k+ HP enemies.
