• Ruin PvP Group fights. My thoughts and wishes.

Except for castlebuilding, my biggest interest about this game is the combat and especially groupfights. Rust is kinda stale on the veriety of what weapons and gear we use. AK and metal armor is always the way to go if you can aford it. I hope that different builds and gear would be used dependeing on your preferd playstyle and not how big your bank is. My ideal group would consist of 1 dedicated mage/healer 2 heavy plate fighters with big swords and hammers etc and maybe 2 rougs with small swords/daggers/bows with leather armor that moves faster than the plate guys to run down heavy fighters that try to flee the battle. It could work like rock, paper, scissors. Big plate guy counters small leather guy, small leather guy counters mage and mage counters big plate guy with armorpenetration spells. It shouldnt be hard counter though so a skilled plate guy should be able to take down the mage etc. A problem would be for soloplayer but for that i would sugest that you could make a hybrid build that can do a little of everything but not the fullest extent. A hybrid could use spells and other weapon and gear but cant wield the biggest swords and spells, like "minor heal" and "greater heal" spells. My idea is that the heavier armor you use, the less spells you can use and also the wheight of your weapon should also effect your capasity to use spells so a mage cant run around with a robe, big spells and a zweihander. I think that the "class" should only be desided by the gear you use so you dont have to dedicate a character for one playstyle, that would force a lot of people wanting to make several characters. I could go on for hours but as a last idea, end game gear wouldnt be heavy plate while all sterters run around with robes. Pleyers should have acces kinda early to a simple robe, simple leatherarmor and a simple plate armor. End game gear would be better quality of the same type of armor. Sure their should be some other type of gear to mix the playstyles a bit like the rad suit in Rust. You could also mix different set pieces so a hybrid could maybe use plate chest but everything ells leather so the wheight doesnt reach "heavy status", but then he could only use the weakest of the spells and have minimum amount of mana. please discuss what you think:)
