Hi Guys,
I was looking up Warstriders in my WotLA today, and taking a good look at how to use them in a combat situation. Then I realized... Even a Common Jade warstrider with say, a mundane chopping sword dishes out 30 damage on a succesfull hit... This bothers me, as the soak even for a royal jade warstrider is 24... So really, how much better is the Royal when even fighting a few commons would totally trash it? I'm guessing it also depends on the pilot... But say, an epic battle between a solar and abyssal in warstriders with artifact war strider grand daiklaives (48 damage or so) would really come down to who hits first, which is hardly epic in my mind.
So is it just me, or is high powered warstrider combat really silly? Am I missing something? Any thoughts/ ideas?
