Wish Circling just reduced AoE defense to 1 at all levels and every level increased its duration instead of effectively doing nothing past 5. Do that + give Falconer more utility skills instead of just subpar damage skills = Archer would have a legitimate support class.

Any info about new’s dg’s?
LvL to enter, drops and xp.
Thanks.
I am looking for more vids on inquis breaking wheel if anyone has them. I want to see how multi-hit attacks like aspergillum and sacrament apply.
other than that 270 blue gear set that’s similar to cafrisun, any news of other nice new gear to look at
There a set that adds 110 ice additional attack like cafrisun but I don’t get what else it gives.Can anyone check it for me?My translation seems a bit off.Also,is it in the ktos already?

Can I request a quick TL;DR? 
A survey amongst top guilds.
(a lot of text and data)
40.38% of archers will go Mergen.
35.42% of wizard-warlock will go warlock2.
32.90% of clerics (???).
Swordsman is most balanced distribution.
31.5% of Alchemist go Alch3 for homunculus.
10.5% of Alch3 have (???) probably Linker.
A lot more things I don’t want to try to translate now.

100% of Corsairs will reroll.
Honestly I imagine nobody ever rolled a Corsair3 in Korea. Not one person. I don’t know why else IMC would completely ■■■■ the class.

They did. They post very suicidal images of Corsairs on Swordie forums. They are all drawn though. They are related to the skill pistol the corsair uses. They draw them pointing to some body part, upper body.

I wonder : With all these big damage increases that result in 30~120k damage hits, isn’t pvp going to be a 1-shot fest?
Warlock C2 gets a really good attribute for Mastema, that makes it actually worth using.
With how many weapon configurations are available to SWs and considering there are only two new classes per circle it was unavoidable that there is a weapon configuration that doesn’t get a new class specificly for that configuration.
I love how indirect you put this ROFL
Well I guess that was expected considering how much higher everyone’s damage is while health steal increases at a flat, linear rate.
Most things are already bordering on oneshots.
Also the PVP was already an annoying clusterfuck of spell effects and that last gif is so cluttered I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be looking at.
IMC has so much to work on with PVP.

Well, I just highlighted dethrone since it has off-screen range & is instant.
Other oneshots include: throwing 2x lvl 6 (divine might) Pears of anguish on a magic circle (frost cloud, etc). They will home in on the mage.
Activating revenged sevenfold and letting off-screen dethrone hit you.
Falconer Aiming area may zone for 1+ minute, all players get increased hitbox size. Easy to hit them.
Lancer unmount skill may oneshot mounted squishies. Lancer destroying magic circles.
Taoist creeping death charm speed allows for some zoning.
Etc.
Existing strong CC on top of r8 skill damage. Statues, raise & magnetic force, cryo, etc.
PVP should have like 50-80% damage penalty for it to have some meaning
Like most skills are meant to assassinate 330k hp mobs while we’re at max 60k HP (rarely)
The problem runs deeper than that in my opinion. PvP already has a 50% damage penalty. We can keep raising the damage penalty but that’ll make lower rank skills even weaker than it is now.
I think we can all agree that PvP need to be considerably reworked before we can find a nice balance.
In this regard, pvp is NOT the problem. It’s the damage inflation. Would it be an issue if future ranks did around the same damage as lower ranks?
I would say lower rank skills is a problem regardless of PvP or PvE. I think the transcendence weapons will help a bit though. Remember that really rich wizard that had a +7 gemmed transcend 4 superior corona rod. She was rocking 900+ off that thing. So I’m kind of hopeful that the bigger weapons will help close the gap a little bit for low base damage skills–at the cost of devaluing Int a bit more which I’m sure will get everyone up in arms.
