1s15DA70-KT Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I feel that rather than nerf any of the classes in the game, they should enhance the defences of all physical classes. It's ridiculous that magic classes are OP over physical classes. Also, nerf the FTS servers and move all to the standard servers. Leveling up is already very fast, so there's no need for FTS, and low level players can get a toggle to disable PVP up to a certain level. Also, make rifting mandatory in that when rifting times are up, all players of the particular faction gets transported over to the other faction's territories and disabling teleports and return scrolls to prevent players from taking the easy way out. This will make PVP more inclusive and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like NCsoft should focus on songweaver's defense and cc skills rather than trying to lower their damage. (or, ya know, change mana to how it used to be so everyone isn't so reliant on songweavers) Except that mana can be managed, and was managed before songweavers ever existed. Additionally, the majority of SW don't heal mana, in PVE or PVP, so meh. Personally, I get mana drained in PVP and almost invariably,the SW will not mana heal. Hopefully, class changes to SW will focus more on their utility, to bring them more in line with being a magical version of a chanter. If they decide to go DPS, then reduce their shields, and their dispel. 2 hours ago, 1s15DA70-KT said: I feel that rather than nerf any of the classes in the game, they should enhance the defences of all physical classes.

Finally, let's NOT boot everyone over to the other factions' territory because you want to rift. That boneheaded idea would just have half the server AFK in Panda or Sanctum. People who want to rift will do so, forcing people to do it won't make them enjoy it, they'll just resent it and probably quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think NCsoft wants to ressurect low level pvp/twinking. Level cap is going to 80 so endgame will be the focus again.

Also, nothing says "fun" like forcing players to do something they really dont wanna do, amirite? Mandatory rifting sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Have we not learned anything since launch NA? Besides, if NC's primary goal is to get players to end cap asap, why would they then make that trip to said max level both lonely AND frustrating again? Low level rifts simply dont work. That is, other than to entertain trollish uber geared twinks at the expense of lowbie newbs just trying to get a feel for the game.

Cheesecake-DN Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 FTS was added post-rift buffs, which destroyed rifting anyway. Its primary purpose is and was to provide a place for all the lowbies to level together...and level quickly to where the devs want the players (end-game). They're not getting rid of it, nor are they adding mandatory rifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isara-DN Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 My dream would be involving the chanter and SW. Chanters 1: Give Chanter its magical buffs back into its mantra. 2. Increase the range of the mantras and other buffs. 3. Change heal burst to a heal over time. Higher upfront heal with lower heal over time than recovery. 4. increase the heal of word of revival Why: Most of the heals with Chanters are HoT and single target. Changing HB to HoT keeps with the theme and would allow the Chanter to heal and go back to DPSing. Increasing WoR also makes sense as HoT and single target Chanters should reign King. SW: 1. SW heals should be reduced and changed to AOE. CoB should remain single target. 2. Its buffs should be reduced or removed. 3. Needs a mass revival similar to cleric. 4. Maybe better dispel (not sure on this one but it would relieve a lot of pressure from clerics in pvp) Why: When I think of SW I think of a concert filled with people. Everyone benefits from music not just one. Thus the AOE heals. Removal of buffs is 2 fold. Buffs should remain with chanter and SW should be the mana battery and help with revivals or dispels. It would separate the job from the chanter and have them more clear cut. The combo would fit better in groups (IMO) as clerics are great AOE and single target while chanter and SW are more like a split cleric with one single target and the other AOE. Finding groups could also be easier as SW and Chanter together could heal through most pve esp if clerics are being difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For SW, (1) makes no sense - SW can roll heal spec already, and we have clerics and chanters, for (3) we already have clerics, why duplicate them? and 4 (4) HELL NO. Songweavers have CC , dispels, debuffs and heals and DPS. They need to give up something. They aren't just "like asingle cleric", they're like a cleric, a sorc and and and SM. We already have a cleric class, we already have a sorc and an SM, I'd see them as a magical chanter- that means mana heals, middle of the road DPS and magic based utility skills. If they role DPS, they have minimal (probably 1) heal, max 1 cc skill, no dispel.If the roll support spec, then they get more dispels, much lower DPS, and utility - shields for the party that complement a chanter's shields.

Isara-DN Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Im not sure if I was clear or you didnt actually read my post. To clear things up I was talking about the support chain for both chanter and SW not DPS chain. I could give a fracking freak about the DPS tree. The game is lacking in any AOE healer class save for Cleric. Chanter and SW as of now are both practically single target. Making SW an AOE support healer and Chanter single target support healer distinguishes the roles makes them unique and have better synergy as one makes up for the weakness in the other. Only class capable of mass revival right now is cleric. SW would be a great class to help Cleric with revivals. I would balance it with removing all group buffs from the SW. I would also remove a lot of their healing boost. Basically I want to split the cleric into two classes. One class for group buffs, single target HoT healing,and shields (chanter). The other having low healing power but heals are AOE, mana battery, revives (SW). This would take pressure off the clerics What you want is a magic chanter (which is basically what we have now). I want distinguished classes that fill different roles in groups. Yes SW DPS is way to high for a support class and needs to be lowered. To make this clear Chanter and SW will be support healing and no way have the same healing power as a cleric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make this clear Chanter and SW will be support healing and no way have the same healing power as a cleric. I read what you wrote, we happen to disagree on some points. Almost no one runs the support chain for SW, maybe 10% of SW do, I've seen a few really, really good ones. You want to provide another class for group loci, I disagree as (a) I don't see the need and , more importantly, I see that as being what makes clerics distinct- they have strong AOE/group heals and revival skills - you just said that you want 'distinguised classes that fill different roles in groups". - well that's what clerics do.The cleric split that you're talking about already existed for years, it's called a chanter. They are very good in providing the support you're talking about. A heal spec SW with solo revives and mana healing plus some group utility shields r and specific party buffs that differ from a chanter would be what a heal-spec SW brings. it will be interesting, depending upon what (if anything, because I am REALLY skeptical) SW decide to play if NC changes their playstyle, if some roll heal spec, or if they quit en masse. I believe a lot of them would just quit or pick whatever they think is the next FOTM class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, when my friend started playing cleric they always asked me to go on songweaver with them because they weren't used to the cycle and they didn't want to run out of mana. (especially since some bosses have skills that take away all your mana). Along with that, I'm rarely in a party where the sw doesn't heal mana so I cant really relate to what you're saying but ANYWAY yeah i agree with the second part. Ncsoft made songweaver's the "jack of all trades", except they left out the "master of none" part. They really need to pick a side for them.

That doesn't mean that they're a walking mana pot, but NC could introduce some boss mechanics or keep mana drain in PVP, so that mana healing is more important and more challenging.

Bryos-DN Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I actually dont remember any instance or boss that relied on MP draining after IS (except for Fleshgolem mobs in AoE, which dont count).

My point was that it was a double layer of investment. It used to be i could heal reasonably well in pvp while still having a dps spec, it wasnt as good, but now its light and day. The whole Essence system screws over any atempt at hybridisation or dps specs for support or heal class's since most of your surviability is in those heals.

The fact that you can't be an effective group healer in DPS spec as a cleric is quite balanced imo, otherwise the game would be quite imbalanced. The Essence system isn't screwing anything over chain, in fact it has benefited chain quite a bit since it makes higher survivability through healing boost, MR and HP. DPS spec was never really intended to replace a heal spec cleric for PVP, and a while hybrid specs did have their place with the introduction of new classes the game has evolved.

So hypothetically, a DPS cleric could switch to a heal boost set in PVP? nope I would rather have this balanced via skills than through manastones, in any cases, we're getting reduced manastones on equipment in future- so I don't think your idea would work anyway.

Using a macro can give you a possibility of leaving you with a few pieces of gear unequipped, for example, if your macro changes 5 pieces of equipment, you were able to 3 pieces of equipment before getting interrupted, and then activate the macro again, that macro would end up unequipping 3 pieces and equipping the other 2 pieces of armor. You will also have to use /delay x command to account for the cast time needed to unequip and reequip each piece of gear. Macros also doesn't work if two different armor pieces have the exact same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
