So, i’ve just reached rank 4 today and got my so wanted sadhu, and i’m shocked. What have you done IMC? First nerf Possession and now oob is a joke, the current dps is really bad. Ok you removed that bug that used to double oob damage but you did nothing to compensate, and the biggest problem is the slow attack animation, i can’t hit running monsters because by the time i complete the attack, the monster is no longer there.
Let me tell something about sadhu: it sure is a unique class and given certain circumstances, it used to be a damage powerhouse and nerfs were needed, but now it has around 1/3 of the original damage, if less. You guys tackled in the wrong direction, the sadhu problem was the setup, instead of removing the 100% invulnerability uptime that cleric c2 bokor c2 had, you just nerfed the damage. Right now the only viable damage cleric build is monk. Bokor and sadhu are dead and we’ve left with no options.
Here is the video showing how it is now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Ym4VQ7kxI
There will always be Buffs and nerfs. At the moment sadhu may suck but it could change ez in 1 month. Same goes for all the cookie cutter builds. Now stronk and after 1-2 nerfs garbage and tears will flow. Just keep Sadhu if you like the overall mechanic.
Just got rank 4 myself, I never played or knew of ToS pre nerfs but I’m having fun with it. I’m sure we’ll have changes with frequent balance patches.
Can you please post a video showing the OoB damage and animation? I’m really curious how it’s doing right now.
That’s true… But you need the upset people to bring it to dev’s attention…
And it is pretty frustrating… Me and one of my friends were really looking forward to Sadhu… Had names picked out for them and were ready to go when live hit… But then the fun parts of the class got nerfed. And as far as overall balance goes it’s hard to justify Sadhu now. I’m still hoping I find a specific item set or way to build them that makes them ok… But I don’t think there is a way to make them shine now.
Sadhu is pretty unique thtas +1 alrdy. And dont forget 6 more classes will come out and one of them could be a very good synergy. At least i can see it. They may add 1-2 new skills too since Sadhu c3 only have 5 or 6.
I wasn’t implying that I’m without faith… But I understand how the whole player-game creator communication works… We give feedback they fix. Generally much slower then people like… But the feedback still needs to be there. I fully expect this class to be fixed at some point. I just hope they do it right and they focus on OOB or skills that use OOB.
Video added.
Twenty chars…
This is really saddening, you should’ve followed the kToS thread though so you should’ve expected these nerfs.
My friend who was planning to be Sadhu just went back to being a Pyrolinker because of the nerfs.
I have to correct you on this one though. There’s the Priest C3 + Chaplain auto-attack monster build. There’s also the Plague Doctor + Pardoner for 100% uptime Incinerate. Krivis C3 still powerful as ever.
we need to show this to staff, i dont think imc actualy goes on class forums, but just general discussion mainly
How much did u boost the attribute for OoB? Wouldn’t it be double the strength with full attribute? Does Arde Dagger help with Damage in any way?
100% that costs a lot of silver
u could go clreci 2> krivis 3> druid 2 for magic dmg, and its is strong…
Yup. I was dead set on Sadhu for OBT… until they announced the nerfs. Its already a hassle to set for optimum OoB, yet the DPS is beyond crap.
I mean, I don’t think the damage is as bad as ppl sayit is, for a skill that doesn’t restrict you in any way and also doesn’t cost mana but… I think it REALLY needs some QoL updates, take like what they did to Monk for example.
the damage is way worse than wat ppl say it is, it isnt even viable anymore. when u use aa in oob, the monster moves out of the way bcuz of how slow oob aa is now
What about combining diev ranks with sadhu?
The slow from the CD statue is really good imo(i am diev 1 now) and it could help with making it easier to land hits.
I really can’t decide if to go diev C3-druid-pd or diev C2-sadhu C2-druid/PD so 'm looking for feedback from current sadhu’s on their game experience.
That’s why I said it really needs qualityof life changes, thingsthat don’t necesseraly buff the skill, but rather improve its usability.
Im struggling to find something to fit in between cleric- krivis c2 - … - druid. Want something good fun and i guess useful. I was thinking bokor c2 but ive stop playing cause im not sure.
Im more concerned about the rank 6 nerf. The skill now reads transfers 10 int per skill level instead of 10% per skill level and the cool down and duration were changed,
