Highlander needs a small buff | Forums

[WastedPunk]

As a guy who is rep 1 Highlander,he isn't as weak as the internet would have you believe,but his class definitely feels weird,his heavy that is 3x longer than a gladiator does the same damage,considered a hybrid yet has an health of an assassin what exactly went wrong here? Lol

I would want him to have 1/1.5 extra health bar and either make his attacks faster or make them deal more damage.

TIP: After a parry if you unlock you can guardbreak people which you wouldn't be able to normally.

and you can many times GB after a parry if you delay the GB just a little bit. it dont work on everything but it dramatically increased my chances of GBing after parrying.

about the dmg. im not sure if it should be increased. i would like to see the unblockable top to match the regular top though.
and i would like to use heavies on GB. if we increase the dmg on heavies then we would probably be put in the same situation as raider, whose heavy do too much dmg to enable after GB, so you have to get a wallstun to link it cleanly.
either up the dmg or enable heavy on GB, dont think you should do both. i would prefer heavy on GB + increase top unblockable to match regular top.

highlander took some time for me to learn, it wasn't a steady progress but rather like riding a bike where all of a sudden it just worked. im enjoying this class immensely, but he really do lack that extra umph after you manage to GB someone. especially since the highlanders GB range seems very limited.

Yes I agree he seems like a really fun class but just bit more risky than rewarding and I said EITHER more dmg or faster attacks I feel like they should make them faster but keep the dmg same just so maybe we can heavy after a parry like Lawbringer because a wallsplat top heavy is a nasty combo I wouldnt want a top after gb but definitely a side heavy.

I agree that highlander may need a slight buff to properly fit his "hybrid" title. (this is just my opinion on hybrids)
(lawbringer and centurion both have counter parry moves (which i think should be mandatory on a hybrid)
Right now the delay after you parry someone with highlander is imo just slightly to long.
It seems like it takes a day and a half after you press the light for it to initiate after you parry him and the heavy takes even longer.
I think an easy fix could be a slightly faster return from parrying your opponent to get to your light att that can start your chain.
I think a heavy after parry wouldn't be fair unless it was just like lawbringers. stunning unblockable but slow as all hell.

Hes fin with the old heroes. The new heroes are just op. take away cent, glad, maybe warlord and he's perfectly fine. buff all the characters of old or just make the new heroes on par...
