MA problem!

DarkDominance

Matrix Online has a serious problem with Martial Arts. They are made focus on one target and cannot compete in PvP at all. They have decreased in numbers mainly because MA can barely do anything except keep someone in interlock for 5 sec. Enraged does nothing since if you click roll-out as your being enraged you can still roll. The only way to keep them in interlock for sure is stun them and the only way to do that is Sidekick Combo with 40% chance. Just as a suggestion now that SOE is on the team they need to desperately make MA glitch based. So that you can click a target so some punches and kicks double tap "S" to roll backwards to see all of your enemies. And then be able to double click a target again to jump forward and throw some more punches. This will make it more fair for MA since is based on one target while hackers can attack anyone around them just like gunman or knife throwers. Their interlock system is somewhat original, but it just makes far to big a disadvantage for MA, it makes it almost worthless in PvP unless you fdind someone alone.

With MA in the state it's in right now, you have to be VERY competent
to use it properly. I'd say out of all the MAs I've seen, about
10% of them know how to do their job right, and know what their job in
PvP is. It's not my place to explain how to play a character, and
what situation a character is best in, but I can tell you that PvP wise
an MA is not meant to do damage.

Their best talents are found elsewhere, namely in their ability to take
damage, much like a tank in traditional MMOs. While they perform
well damage wise in PvE, PvP it is not the case.

It all comes down to how a team chooses to operate, those who can learn what is good and bad about different trees can gain the knowledge of what is a good strategy.

Ill be honest those who slate MA, dont realise potential they also have.......

Now before anyone starts posting "Hackers are PVP Kings" think about why something can be good and bad....

lol take dmg like a tank u say? well u forgot just about how overpowered hackers are they deal 1600 dmg in about 3 seconds time with 2 moves which are almost exactly the same and if your code shocked say hello do a 1600 dmg cannon followed by 2 800 dmg barrage and blast

what's that you say? where's my viral resistence...it's not loaded due to me having to get rid of all of my skills just to have defense against a hacker

Long without saying too much, there is always a way, you just need to look further down the rabbit hole SMILEY

** Study exactly what you need SMILEY

and look for good items...
