Support class Buff & Reliability

Hi ToS team,

I do play support roles most of the time on each games I try/play…
I have a suggestion here… Please increase the Buff duration of skills…
The mana is not enough to keep the buffs on for the team…
The Buff duration is too short to even be beneficial to the party…

While it is generally agreed that buffs last way too little in general, SP is NOT a problem for Clerics, at all trust me you have 2,346SP naturally at Lv280. In general as far as you get potions SP is not a severe problem even for Swordsman.

when your buffs keep disappearing every minute some doesnt even last a minute… I had problems with mana coz of that…

The know when you don’t need them and jsut don’t use them when you don’t need them.
I’ve never seen a Priest go under 50%SP because potions keep you up just fiiiiine.

Plus, chaplains have SP regen attribute like sorcerers

i am not talking about higher levels… i was talking about early to mid levels… and no my post is not about much about mana my main point here is about the buffs being tooooo short… well whatever… I know whatever I say here is wrong and you guys have an answer back to it… nevermind i dont want to drag this out… i just thought that i posted this on feedback and suggestions… but all my posts got swatted out by “pros”… ok i get it my opinion doesnt matter because im a noob… bye ToS…

Remember that you’re in a support class tree

surely is confortable to have longer duration, but it also means that you should just use the buffs once and then forget about them and go dmg and heal things

Having 100% uptime is the most important part, it’s annoying to have to renovate the buffs all the time, but it’s kinda the point on being a support ;i

Alternativelly, you may go Pardoner for higher durations on certain buffs, and i’m not sure how meltastis (krivis c3) spell works, but yeah, there are ways

PS: i play dps cleric, and i’m totally in favor of longer durations, but i also understand that there is no need to make things this way.

lol
may be you want also to remove a cd from heal spell? or even make heal cells no to disappear after 1st use?
what are you going to do in battle then with your supporter?
and also what attribute do you train if your mana runs off? str and dex may be?

Completely unnecessary comment .

The post is about duration of buffs and I have to agree with you. all the games I played buffs lasts ( 1:30 ~ 2:00 to initial levels ) 3 minutes extending up to 5 minutes . ( asda global some buffs lasts 15 minutes.)

My friend played with a cleric and he really felt " worn out "( lots of mana potion and buffs cost like money :sweat: )and I’ve seen it several times kkkkkk but I confess that in early, buffs are quite strong . we leveling up so fast . was so great and fun. I miss my mage :cry:

The things you need to do as Cleric line supporter are Heal/Mass heal, Blessing & Cure (sometimes). Any other additional buffs are for boss fight, raid & pvp only. The skill that are really costing all those SP is Heal…when you’re so unlucky to met team mates who going all reckless with a walking herb around.
Frankly speaking, the only reason anyone wan a support class in their team on ToS or any MMO is purely for the free heal only. A Monk that only do Heal, Blessing & auto-attack is still more desirable than a wiz support that can’t heal in any grinding party.

Dude, Chrono-Linker fans (including me) disagree with you on a your monk vs support wizard…

We can have both non healing and healing supports in the party, right? why wouldn’t we?

If you plan on being chronomancer circle 3 we need to be friends XD

(I’ll be playing priest monk, or chaplain btw)

Probably, I’ll make up my mind towards release.

My options include a Chaplain:

  • Corsair>Shinobi, (Dual Wielding Clones sounds like a fun thing, even though it seems hard to achieve).
  • ChronoLinker
  • C3Archer.
  • Chaplain

Of course you can. But if the spot left 1 only. That’s when you need to make a decision.
Heal vs Buffs~

What if I kick the Barb we accepted in the party for the sake of having five poeple?
Happens a lot.

What if you’re not the Party leader and you’re the one getting kicked?
Happens a lot too as Barbs have very good dmg output.
Play ethical. Try not doing thing you wouldn’t want them to happen to you to others.
That very same person might be your next party leader on another map or…2nd character of the server best player/guild master or, the other 3 party members happen to be his/her real life buddies or they chat in the same language differ from yours.

The one who controlled the crowd gets the chicks.

The fun part is that I was talking from my experience as a barb.
Should’ve placed some ‘’’’ in there when I think about it.

One circle in Peltasta would change your whole experience in the journey.

Based on my iCBT2 experience, Swash Buckling is one of the most desired skill to have in a party, second to Heal. It also prevent anyone from rushing into a swamp of monsters in the dungeon.
And the best part…it works even when dual wielding.

I blame Hoplites doing the job better.
