Idea Tom's class rework series - Rework #4 Dwarf

No. Massive buff, dwarf needs a nerf. You are still restricting it's movement massively and forcing it to play in the flag room. This will make the dwarf probably the tankiest class and it requires no skill to play except hitting people when they come close to the flag.

 

It's still reliant on being in the flagroom due to slowness and damage loss outside. The half heart ability is basically useless as the next hit in a fight would kill it anyway. Dwarf needs a total change in abilities, not some minor changes to remove it's snowballing.

 

I've never heard anyone argue against a Dwarf rework. Pretty sure everyone is in favor of it

Yes, but it is useless because Dwarf can be killed by any class if they land one hit while Last Resort is active. I mean you are giving Dwarf this large power spike at half a heart, where you can barely do anything with that power spike because you're extremely vulnerable. And if you steak when you're about to take lethal damage you lose the power spike. What's the use of adding it then? That's just silly xd

anyway... Dwarf needs a rework that fundamentally changes how the class works. Right now it's extremely unbalanced - ridiculously strong in the flagroom and terrible everywhere else. This rework doesn't address that.

Lol, lets make it have a tunnel ability, I'd actually laugh.

 

I got super excited when I saw a dwarf rework being posted. With all the archer and assassin debates going on, somehow dwarf has fallen out of discussion.

In my opinion, dwarf needs a TOTAL REWORK. That includes changing the play style of the entire class. I'd offer more support, but it looks like you tried to maintain the original purpose to some degree. I'd rather see dwarf be defense support class, something along those lines.

So, I'd offer more support to a dwarf rework if it took the class in a completely different direction. I was never a fan of it's original purpose, and with a total rework it could eligible to play in matches. In short, I would've liked you to take the class in a completely different direction then what it is now.

 

As long as Dwarf has permanent slowness (I-II or whatever) it will always be a flagroom class because it gets destroyed in open spaces due to every other class being far more mobile/ranged than it is. Changing the damaging abilities or how they work doesn't fix that

props for dumping the xp-for-buffs snowball mechanic though. That's one of the things that really needs to be removed

 

If you are trying to make dwarf's abilities more sophisticated then i would tell you to change 1 thing, just 1 thing about dwarf would add more purpose to dwarf which would be the speed. Slowness 1 is too fast because if the flag carrier gets into your flagroom then the dwarf would be able to at least land a few hits on them so i would suggest lower the speed of dwarf.
