BG breakdown:

65% Theurg
15% Sorc
9% Cab
10% Infilt
1% random other class

Don't think I've seen a melee class yet...

I sure hope so,good at taking relics . Why would i play a melee class which hits 2h like 1h on live.

I play HIB but if i play ALB this is my class of choice. Its just a lot of fun and has good utility. You get to use more then 4 keys with an air - ice theurgist of course I like the fact you can have one guy take out small mans and shut down healers on his own.

I guess what in saying is it would be a problem if people didn't play them.

Of course the same could be said about savages and beserkers as well. I guess people tend to play things that will actually have an impact on pve and PvP.

Nearly no probs with theurgs as a bd or hunter

Not sure which bg you are talking about, but low bg(aber) is a gamechanger for casters(mcl) luring a lot of players in that dont care too much about hostile player interaction. They will always be represented in unproportional numbers.

Must have been a good day if you can break it down to 1% though, would have liked to be part of that.

I was obviously being facetious. They are a good class and a good option for the BG. Was just making a light-hearted jab that there were lots of them.

Wait, they hit for 700 dmg 1handed with 0.45 GR anytimer against tanks on live servers? Thats crazy...

Relic : 20% melee bonus,
Armsman with the slowest (thrust ?) polearm,
Critical hit

During beta i tested arms, 400 with the slowest polearm i could find was the average.
Could go up to 500 ish on a mid chain armor with the thrust polearm (10% bonus armor type and 20% relic included)
Did 800 once on DF armor hero (he was sitting = double 400)
I believe it's far from what it was back in the days (however i can't prove it)
Oh also, i don't care, i don't play armsman yet. Just noticed you forgot to give the context of your screenshot.

Also, was it possible that the Armsman was using Defender's Rage in this fight? Not a useful style outside of duels, but not every Polearm style has a x1.25 growth rate

@Kha i know it is the 20% relic bonus and vulerable armor + crit, i was just trying to say that melees are far from useless.

@Aelred nope, this is Crippling Blow style (0.45GR), you can see the snare effect in combat log, thats why i was so impressed and took a screenshot. Bet a 1.25GR Defender's Rage would have been a 900+ dmg hit.

Only classes I have issues with on my Thurg are NS/SBs who get the PA chain off. Other than that BDs can be a pain but most are dumb and die to my theurg. Not many classes can beat a Theurg 1v1/2v1 in BGs.
