I love how fast you can now beat all of the bosses at missions, Agni beneffits evryone because we can gain more exp when using exp tomes, so, Welcome Agni!! please stay home

I rolled 5 cubes last night, got 3 agny, and bunch of new gears⌠do those gears even matter?
and also, those rolls are SUPER cheap
I actually agree with @Kakorrhaphiophobia .
Wizzards needed something to make them relevant in r8 content, even if it is just a necklacy for pyro.
Wizzards still do not come on par with well invested Doppel or Fencer but this is a good start.
The only thing that it is kind of bad in that necklace that it boosts already OP Plague Doctors

What makes agny stupidly strong is linker thoughâŚ
Uh, do they even know what balancing is to begin with?

Just reading forums, there are even elementalist complaining. It isnât like ele 3 has ruled since founderâs that they are crying now lol
Tbh agny makes pyro a lot stronger than ele3 ever was, it basically beats out any other dps class, ele3 never killed 2m hp bosses so fast and has problemas against flying mobs, pyro doesnât, so they even make archers bad.
It took me a fair amount of time for my First arde dagger back during Launch.
Difference is the 115 dungeon requires clears of its 1st and 2nd section which is time consuming.
For Pentamion, Arde, and many more I can just run to the boss and take 9 minutes to do 3 runs, 11 or 12 if it requires some quick gimmick like the 200 dungeon.
Was annoying using my Pyro C3, Sorc C3 to farm it when Flamme mages and Flammeâs are immune to fire damage. Thankfully all my eggs arenât in one basket so Temple Shooter and Summon Familiars could speed up the monotony. That and everything being slash weak for my Doppel :p.
Doing reruns of simple run to the boss and kill dungeons are fine, you spend more time in loading screens than in the dungeon.
Iâm glad the Agny ordeal is finished, that dungeon sucks when your only goal is to kill the boss and not the exp.

You canât just compare a 10-15 hits fireball which can be kicked away to a big AoE permanent damage which doesnât let mob move out of there.
What?
Donât even tell me about the fireball hitting flying mobs, that thingâs being tossed out of battle the second itâs in, and Iâm not even playing pyro, actually I play swordsman and I can understand the frustration in this spell.
Fire pillar? Yeah, right, that 95 sec cd and at best 17 sec duration. Wow so effective against flying mobsâŚ
Pyro always had, and still has a huge damage potential. If you canât use the spells properly, with or without agni, you wonât deal more than someone with a crappy gear. Past level 220, pyro spells are getting rusty, agni keeps the damage potential up.
And pyro is a terrible pvp class, you have to stand away from its aoe. CC? Right, with CC, every class can do a lot of damage too, without the need to stand on specific areas.
Itâs mainly a pve class, whatâs the problem? Itâll make your runs and grind faster.
Itâs so boring seeing wiz 3 ele 3 every time.
Either you were a dps and you play elememe, and every other build was just considered â â â â or support.

Its funny eles are complaining when Cyro C2 and Pyro C2 have inherit attributes to give incentive to combining them with Ele.
People pick up Wiz C3 instead for Quick Cast scaling.
Now you have some scaling to Keep Pyro an attractive option as well as Ice Blast + Ice Wall. Even with Prominence and Meteor also getting scaling from Agni.
A very uncommon (since the end of ICBT2) pick just got boosted as well, but all the Eles are complaining because theyâre specifically Wiz C3 routes.
Lol.
You Could Pyro C3, Ele C3, Sage, buy some Pillar of Agony scrolls and drop hell between Flame Ground, Fire Pillar, Frost Cloud and PoA with a lot more flexibility against Link Immune or Fire-immune mobs, but oh well.
While Agni is goofy given that their itemization methods of balance normally backfire in the long run (Hows that backstab doing Rogues?), for the present moment it is boosting efficiency for a lot of builds.
JP+HK+fireball is the standard combo for pyro, I donât think you need a big AoE for that. I donât understand this kicking fireball stuff, in an organized party you wonât have a swordsman doing that, at least pyro can be countered in field bosses.
@Aotsuke when fire pillar can do 60k dmg per tick, itâs every effective. Ele3 was the top dps by far(not for WB) for a long time, but guess what? Agny and pyro make that distance even greater, so now pyro will be the top dps and everything else can âbe considered â â â â or supportâ and weâll have this class everywhere, which I guess is what youâre against. Pyro is not bad in pvp, the same combo I mentioned above works very well in pvp.
As long as there are changes and âmeta rotationâ people are going to cry about it.
I am a Pyro but I think that Agny requires some changesâŚnot a nerf but a retweak on what it does.
I think that removing the fire attr damage from it and adding an increased amount of SP consumption on fire spells would be a good start.

as a pyro 3 iâd say that imc could easily reduce it from 3.8x fire balls to 2x or 2.5x fireball and itâd still be very strong.
Meta rotation is fine, just donât make 1 class utterly broken and the rest bad in comparison.
Say that to Doppel players, the whine was real back at the time cyclone got fixed.
But Iâm going to say it again, Agny is not the actual problemâŚwhat makes it OP is how Joint Penalty works. Theyâll either need to nerf the item, which is going to harm all Pyro builds that do not use Linker, or nerf the Linker class, which will cause harm to all other builds that use it 
This is like ânerf FC nerf Elememe pl0xxâ all over again, the true culprit is Quickcast while in this case JP.
Donât worry peeps, Quickcast is still untouched so will Agny. 
Thatâs a good point. But that makes me wonder nowâŚWhy havenât elememes thought on going for linker instead of warlock on R7?
Warlock has base damage plus more spells to use while your Ele spells are on CD.
Kinda like why I put Pyro with Sorc. I need something to do while Pyro spells are on CD so I ride the donkey.
^^^ That
and maybe linking only 5 targets wasnât appealing enough? Plus, most ppl didnât wanna go way way backward in the early days.
