*** Swordsman Classes Need to be Fixed *** [IMC, are you looking at this?]

[pudimowned2]

IMC said that if you read my thread, SW will get buffed.

A new PvP Idea (well, with some old concepts)

I pictured and cooked the idea in my mind for some time now. I kinda grabbed some of WoE's concept from ragnarok, a bit from Battlegrounds @ wow and some TERA ideas. How about this: A GvG, 10x10, but royale, and for prizes. Any guild could enter, but you are obligated to pick 10 players to represent your guild. It would happen TWICE A WEEK. There will be a map (giant) and your group will spawn together, to avoid any initial mess. The main purpose is: Be the last of the guilds to stay alive (…

Well … my damage is still the same. Lv 256 Swordies. I don’t feel the 30% buff. Got 310 Str points.

Well of course you wont feel it. Fencer’s skills are pierce based while cleave boosts slash skills. IDK why the hell people goes barbarian fencer though. Early leveling I guess lmao.

Swordmen didn’t get any nerf though. People cry in CBT because:

Level cap was 200, mobs were mostly trash
2h swordman (highlander/barb) can overkill stuff and get bonus exp
Archers were weak
Wizard didn’t have 100% up time of quick cast, and only deal gradual damage (no overkill)

What happen after that:

Mobs HP and damage raised beyond swordmen capability
Overkill bonus exp was removed
Archers get massive buffs
Wizard get massive buffs

Basically the game outgrown swordmen

This guy is the real mvp. The meta was barbarian’s over killing trash mobs in cbt. Nobody gave a single fu ck about qs and archers were so damn weak. Elememe was a good dps but not as good as it is now.

Basically the game outgrown swordmen

Truth.

can’t agree more to this.

to answer why fencers took barbs on early ranks,
barbs used to have the skill called savagery before which synergize perfectly with fencer’s pierce attacks

IMC thought this buff would be OP or it might really have been OP for corsair class due to double weapon assault which connects you’re main and off hand attacks and also makes you’re auto attacks pierce type regardless of whatever weapon you use, see steparu’s auto attack build with toy hammer

DWA was amazing before as it can be cancelled by pressing directional movement keys making auto attacks faster add the savagery buff and the hammer’s explosion effect and there you have it.
