too much flaming going on respectfully im closing this thread.
the most of average crane player agrees that cranes may need a buff.
veterans of crane seem to have little problem with the situation. Because they dont rely on one dot and thousand slashes to win fights
learning the class and gearing yourself properly is important, alot of players in this forum are not using appropiate gears when fighting sk's
for the average sks do not use crafted armour use tmq7 or ccbd spirutalist armour +8to+10ish. try have con for these or rp decrease.
for accessories anti bleed at 75% at least
anti fear at 50% and 50% anti paralysis.
if you dont have this gear you will struggle against an sk thats a fact.
YOU DONT NEED GOOD WEAPONS BUT THEY DEFINITELY HELP.
PEACE
