[dev1032] PUG skills singled out.

[Murugan]

Featherfoot increases evasion true which is usefull for... err... 1 blow.

However their first TP attack, which I've completely forgotten the name of like the typical hyper-active mental leak I get after too much energy drink *cough* does also debuff the enemy in a way that allows you to evade more often, up to 3 stacks I believe.

Pugilists have a few skills that are only usable after evading, but unless you go nuts stacking evasion items to reduce your opponents chance to hit you, featherfoot is all you get, so you don't make a very good tank apart from waving around a chunky HP bar. However in early ranks Pugilists don't make bad tanks, and they can put out a pretty hefty degree of damage to hold enmity against some other classes, especially if they use that 'slightly larger than average' MP pool they possess to heal themselves.

At the moment though they kind of feel like a floaty 'not sure where we're going with all of this' kind of class... still great fun to play though

It's called Concussive Blow. You haven't been playing Pugilist for very long and I'm sorry but you really don't seem to have enough experience with the class to be throwing around stuff like "pugilists don't make very good tanks" "featherfoot is not useful because it is only for one hit".

Pugilists make fine tanks at the moment, featherfoot is one of the most useful defensive abilities in this game (which not just pugilist tanks use), and Accomplice/Jarring Strike two of the best enmity generating moves. You can use featherfoot even when not tanking to evade an AOE and then use one of the counter moves, or taunt the target after a featherfoot for the same effect. Our counter moves are the best counter moves in the game so that is a big part of our class.

Without counter moves we still benefit from being a fast TP gainer (comparable with LNC, and often better if they have accuracy issues), but especially after 1.18a/1.18b Simian Thrash is likely the most powerful outside of a BR TP move, and Jarring Strike is one of the best enmity generating moves out there.

There are plenty of opportunities in places like Darkhold/the NM's/and especially XP groups where Pugilists have an opportunity to really make full use of their abilities/strengths. You should venture out from the General Forums sometimes and visit the Pugilist forums to actually learn more about the class/what it can do.

The wait and see policy has nearly killed this game.

"Were looking into it"

If you are going to post this on every thread on the forum could at least spell we're correctly. It kind of ruins the whole smart alec act.

I thought that the skills that required MP couldn't miss/be evaded....but I might be wrong.

Nope they miss just like anything else. Only difference between PUG and the other DoW TP skills is you have to pay MP to get your add effect and they don't.
