Idea Soldier armor.

i think this is a pretty good idea. would look weird tho

correct me if im wrong. Basically your saying that its not good that it can climb walls? They already made a nerf to that and it was much more fun when they didnt have a set limit on how much they could climb before having to recharge. I dont think that would be a great idea but that's just my opinion.

 

Right now, I feel fine with how it is, but if you're going to nerf it's armor, at least buff something else. Soldier doesn't need to be nerded. In general, classes need to be buffed, not nerfed.

 

Soldier hardly needs a nerf. It had it's wallclimbing hugely nerfed already.

What, since when? What else would they use?

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was hugely nerfed. It has been more nerfed for the people who spammed right click, instead of being conservative with the wallclimb. Like @SoCool21, when I play Soldier I am rarely affected by the mana.

 

If what you say, "soldier's armor should be downgraded because they don't fight" is true, then downgrading their armor would just give them a harder time in your case. If they don't fight back and countless people are after them, the armor is likely what would make the class useful in any way. It doesn't make sense to nerf something because a small assortment of people don't play non objectively. A more fitting argument for your suggestion would be that they take minimal damage and need to take more, which I personally do not believe so.

 

If soldier armor gets nerfed, I wasn't talking about increasing its steak, but instead making it more mobile or giving it a stronger sword. Anyway, this nerf is unecessarry, because instead of nerfing all of the strong classes, we should buff all of the weak classes. This way, players won't have to adjust to their new class that has just become another necro. Instead, they'll be keeping the aspects of their class, and then getting a boost and possibly some new fun and op strats.

 

I'm confused. You say that the real problem you have with soldier is the mobility, but then you say if its mobility was nerfed, then it'd be useless. Do you want soldier's mobility to be nerfed along with its armor also? Maybe I misunderstood, but if so, that'd make soldier way too weak. Anyway, you also say that it is insanely difficult to recover off of a soldier, but that's not exactly true. Soldier has a trade off. Compare it too heavy capping. Soldier may be able to avoid a few more hits then heavy, but heavy can tank way more damage, and kill ninjas that are trailing it quicker. It's a relatively equal trade off. Or compare it too medic capping. Again, soldier may be able to avoid a few hits, but medic is fire proof, meaning it can't die as easily from pyro. A soldier can get 1-shot by a critting pyro in frenzy mode. However, a medic can't. It also has a huge health pool (6 steak) along with regeneration I. Not to mention the cobwebs, which can block entrances and slow enemy chasers. Now say we were to nerf soldiers mobility or/and armor. This would make it even worse at capping then heavy or even medic. Heavy is supposed to be a more midfield and defense class, while medic is supposed to be a support class. It'd be sad if soldier, the class meant for capping, was worse at it then heavy or medic. Soldier is supposed to be good at capping (even though it really isn't the best at capping). If you think soldier should be nerfed, you're wrong, because it's fine where it is.
