i have afew questions

[gabzpiano]

first i wanna say, i'm sorry if the answers to these questions have already been posted somewhere, i searched and couldnt find anything entirely relevant.
hi, i am playing a fury warrior lvl 17, warhammer specialist.. base attributes:
strength:    67
vitality:      73
agility:       5
dexterity:   5
intelligence:5
i put 7 skill pts into attack stance, 3 into mercenary captain, and 3 into warhammer mastery, and i got 3 saved pts
i have 3 questions:
1) if i used the redistribution, and put my pts into the defensive stance, could i change him to be a guardian warrior hypothetically?
2) when it says, as it does in the description of skills.. whirlwind, and counter attack.. "weapon damage" does this mean the bonuses from attack/berserker stance, strength, and the bonuses from the stats, don't stack with the skills?
3) if a guardian has 'counter attack' and 'shield bash', can he use both of them at the same time, that must be a great combination if yes, no?

1) Yes. Redistribution totally nulls all your skills and you get all your skill points back. You can choose a new specialization.
2) Berserker stance adds 30% to the damage you inflict. It goes for whirlwing and counterattack too. However, these two skills cut the basic damage of your weapon in two. Then all strength, skill, buff and stance bonusses stack.
3) He can use both of them, if he has the spirit for that. You can counterattack if you evade or block. You shieldbash only when the opponent blocks your attack (doesn't matter if it is a normal attack or a counterattack).

There is nothing like who is better...

Guardian is strong (meat tank) with low damage rates compare to Fury but more valuable for the team (with the leadership skill) and he can taunt the enemies to draw their fire and can take more damage from the other players due to HPs and Armor and Block.

Fury on the other hand can cause a lot of damage to the enemy in a little time. He can't take much damage but he can attack many targets at the same round and he have a skill opposite to leadership (reduce enemy's attributes). But if he is unable to kill the enemy in few rounds then he is probably dead...

Both players are good but they need a good team of Mercs to support them at hard battles.


Think like Fury is something like Samurai (medium armor lot of agility and knows how to hit)
And Guardian is like Medieval Knight (with out the horse ) he swings his sword and waits the enemy die by accident or from old age but he survived the enemy's attacks due to heavy armor...

haha great analogy
darn, i was actually hoping to have a char that didnt depend on his team... btw i really dont know that much about this game...
is there ever a point where you fight in a team with friends... or not? the pvp is only 1v1?
if the pvp is only 1v1 then i'l continue with the fury(cuz seems he is less team reliant) but if the pvp can be team vs team, then i might wanna play the tank role

There are two kinds of PvP.

Challenges are 1v1 fights that don't depend on your current health or spirit status and you don't have to find the other player ingame to fight. They can be engaged by the "Statistics" menu, where you can pick a fight by clicking the swords icon at the very right column. The fight begins with both enemies at full health/spirit, ends when (at least) one of them is down and awards fame and gold to the winner (if it's a draw, both players lose 5 fame).

Loot fights are team vs team fights in dangerous provinces or no-mans-lands. When you are on a hunting zone on these kind of provinces (or even inside the town in a no-mans-land) there is a tab called "Heroes" next to the "Dig" tab (or a fighting zone "building" inside the no-mans-land town). There you can see the other players present and you can attack them. Both groups fight "As is", meaning health/spirit bars start on their actual levels. The winner is awarded 10% of the gold the looser is holding on him. If the looser was digging during the attack, the winner (attacker) also takes some of the resources the looser already collected.
