I’ve reluctantly reset my Cataphract today, and will likely just be putting that entire character on the shelf for a while. I was excited to hear about all the changes to the game since I last played - specifically about turning all the fake multi-hits into actual multi-hits (something that was a curse on Cata before). Unfortunately, there are still some issues I take with it - that ultimately prevent me from enjoying it. This is a complaint thread. Sorry not sorry.
- The SP consumption on Rush is wayyyyyy too high. Its basically a weaker version of Cyclone, with no overheats and a longer cooldown. It’s also our C3 skill, which one would hope means “this is a really kickass skill”. I mean, its cool, and I enjoy the idea of it - but it eats anywhere from 2/5 to 4/5 (with Acrobat) of my SP. Thats really steep. Too steep.
- There aren’t many choices for what to choose for later circles. The “obvious” choice is Lancer, because they are both mount classes. Unfortunately Lancer is very much a PvP class, and its got a very uninteresting kit to boot. The other choice usually is Dragoon. Now, while I enjoy the concept of a Dragoon - I don’t particularly find this one very exciting or interesting to play. Whatever thats really just my problem I have to deal with I suppose.
So ultimately I would like to suggest;
- Remove the SP increase from Acrobatic Mount.
- Reduce the SP cost of Rush significantly, like, by 80%.
- Please add another mounted class and/or Spear oriented class for Swordsmen in the future. Maybe Dragoon will get a rework and be more fun, I don’t know… Lancer certainly isn’t though.
Anyways, rant over.
