Ok, so i play mostly pvp. Im a bit worried about the new meta. By all info and current builds im willing to put money that a full corrupted str vit grit build will dominate. Lets let the debate start 
As someone who wanted sorcery and assasin style build to be viable since launch the str vit builds have always been the easiest king in pvp. Just want to hear what others think.
i find it hard to believe a corrupted build will dominate pvp. you’d get 2shot
Depends, with the right build and uncorrupted its 2 shot anyway… especially if you take into account the new perks
Edit: and many times you dont even get hit before a takedown
I want you to try pvping on live with full corruption and tell me if you think that’ll be meta if you did slightly more damage. Good luck managing your nonexistent stamina
I was talking 3.0, they said in the live stream that corrupt youd be a glass cannon which is essentially what all CE builds are and have been for a long time… now with the extra attribute points you can run full vit full str and full grit, now of all those out of normal grit can cap damage you recieve to 25% of your hp, and full str corrupted = full str x2 that seems like A net gain… i dont know that it will be x2 but like i said this is a chance to debate it
Edit: not to make myself look good or anything but a damage increase is good for me, because unless server lags i wont get hit, but i wanted to put it out the because it may come down to a first strike thing by current stats
Keep in mind that builds at full armor + full vit and full str damage bonus, before corruption
Id like to clarify that this is all just my theory, based on the information given and the current gameplay.
Looking for someone to argue the point with facts other than corruption stat decline( i dont think funcom would make a huge expansion to make half the population get 1-2 shot)
This update isn’t pvp based though. It’s all for just messin around summoning demons or undead and fighting bosses/clearing thrall camps.
The perk system and corrupting perks isn’t designed around/for PvP.
Yep. I mean the duplicate summon dude is not hard to distinguish from the real player. That spell is designed to aggro dumb npc’s. The invisible spell probably just hides you from npc aggro, esp with the all showing hp bar.
It may not be based around pvp, but it will alter pvp significantly…
PvP META will be even more Poke’n Roll thx to the 2nd 20 Agi perk.
I can already see the cries coming up like they did in the past.
FYI cries were about stuff like this:
whats the agility perk do?
That’s why imho, spear should have str scaling.
cool thanks
Did anyone state what attribute spears fall under? I cant imagine it would be agility, holding any 2h weapon seems like a strength thing
EDIT: with the exception of the katana
The agility 20 perk says nothing about str vs agility scaling tho.
Depends on a few things. I didn’t see anything about nerfing everyone’s favorite feroxic daggers and they still don’t need lots of stamina. Ii will all matter on how fast reg is on corrupted vit. If it is healing potion fast, it could easily be Meta…even if you are looking at 250 hp.
Is there a full list of the new perks? And if so where can I find it?
But to be fair, most of the reasons it’s more poke’n roll meta is the removal of wield/unwield. Wich is sad, they manage to get rid of the 2nd hand animation cancell almost perfectly. They didnt even need to touch the wield/unwield. But here we are, and with probably more damage given, it will be alot more running aswell. Like now on live, people run after getting hit 2-3 times, to take a pot. And the biggest reason for that is just the pot system. You cant have 1 option of healing that is an animation. It makes the game less fluid and also more boring.
I wished they could buff set feast to something like herbaltea was, and also add unwield/wield again. But that’s just wishes, but also wished that would make a lot of PVP players coming back to the game.
