Things which would be resolved by IMC actually adjusting server time with daylight savings…

No, no round-up yet, le monk jebaiting people like IMC jebait the player base into thinking EP 12-2 and EP 13 is coming today.

Long story short, I’m down with a fever since yesterday so expect the round-up to come much later than usual, sorry about that.

DISCLAIMER

(Warning: This week’s round-up is very bare-boned as I’m feeling under the weather from being much busier than usual IRL, but it IS supposed to be a weekly post, so I prioritized getting the round-up out quicker over adding any form of commentary and analysis etc. I really apologize for that, next week will be back to proper )

While there haven’t been much things going on from IMC, there had been a lot of excitement in the IToS community this week, be it Boruta Timings, forums being rife with unsatisfied players voicing their opinions over the game and over articles about IMC, and also the fact that IMC basically baited the whole community into thinking that IMC is bringing the EP 12-2 and EP 13 Content Patch over this week only to bring an empty patch note with a TP package. However, they also implied (or potential bait) that the long-awaited content patch will be coming next week, so the meta changes will probably shift the rankings drastically in the following 2-3 weeks onwards.

From reading comments on IMC posts, there also seems to be dissatisfaction in the KToS player base on how often IMC puts out fashion content as opposed to class balance content. The KToS server has also recently received the KTest Magic Cleric changes this week, along with new Demon’s Temptation fashion content, which is probably one of the reason why players are speaking out.

I’m surprises the facts that non of the Taoist-Ele-Pyromancer surpass Crevox’s summon damage even though it’s ice attribute boss. Yikes. Pyromancer need some buff.

Zeucleio · January 27, 2021, 1:32am

Fire doesn’t deal more damage to Ice though, and cloth armor target is quite the advantage to summons. If anything, I’m surprised there aren’t more summoners ranking high.

The ep13 pyro sfr buffs did wonders in ktos, some weeks Pyro ranked #1

therhay · January 27, 2021, 2:00am

It is weird that ice does 50% more damage to fire but fire don’t do increased damage to ice, I think they should introduce new elements like water.

There isn’t that many people playing summoners, the gameplay is very niche and not for everyones taste.

I am looking foward for the wizard changes, this featherfoot kurdaicha buils is boring as hell.

crevox · January 27, 2021, 7:36am

Summons don’t know how to dodge the frost wave and soak it every time it goes off, getting debuffed and losing almost all of their damage every time. We have to constantly either resummon, or rework our rotation around holding/timing Sauk to interrupt it every time. The summons also kill the ice pillars, so you can’t use those to avoid it. This adds a lot of technicality to the fight that ends up being a DPS loss even if you play around it perfectly.

On top of this, the orb mechanic (“Magic Absorption”) is always very bad for summoner. Summoners do both physical and magic damage, and yet you can only pick one orb. We have no choice but to remove the enemy’s physical resistance, but then all of our magic damage gets gutted for a very extended period of time. Ignas himself does a fair amount of magic damage, but then you still have your own skills, in addition to the Skeleton Mage and Corpse Tower, all of which is greatly reduced.

The benefit of fighting cloth armor doesn’t make up for either of these negatives, especially when cloth armor harms us a bit as well.

[February Week 1, 2021]

Apologies for the few weeks of rather sparse Round-Ups due to IRL issues. However, it has given me a bit of time to reflect on how I do my Round-Ups, and I am intending to changing the format of the Round-Ups bit by bit (changing section names, writing less so I write less mistakes, free up space for Giltine Raid news and have it easier for myself since I’m going to be a bit busier IRL, etc), so I hope these changes don’t affect the reading experience much. If there’s anything you want changed, feel free to drop a comment in the thread!

The EP 12-2 and EP 13 content patch is hitting IToS at the same time this week bringing in loads of new class changes, new content changes, equipment, quests and more. With such a huge change, there is bound to be changes in the rankings, be it the players or the builds used, so do look out for the turbulent changes in rankings in the weeks going forward! On a side note, the Telsiai server has received a bunch of problems, ranging from lags, bugs and constant server problems this week (with no compensation for them), so expect rankings to suffer in Telsiai to suffer this week.

Over at KToS, IMC is being sneaky by giving the KTest servers some class balances pertaining to Archer classes other than Mergen-related builds, just right after IMC dropped the IToS patch notes, so my brain cannot handle reading the KTest google-translated patch notes right after reading the huge patch we will receive this week on IToS, It would be interesting to see if this Archer class balance will shake things up, especially with how the Mergen build is ruling the Archer tree meta for months now.

[44th Weekly Boss Raid Results]

This week’s WBR is filled with many irritating patterns, including a Critical Resistance Specialty that is sure to hamper the damage of DPS builds. With that said, its typing really benefits Magic DPS builds, especially the well-known Shadowmancer bossing build, so it is no surprise that Shadowmancers really shine in this Weekly Boss Raid. It is no surprise then, that Meyi of Telsiai has taken a huge lead this week to take top spot for all class trees and server top rankers, dealing 24.4 B damage as a Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Taoist!

Top Swordsman Build:
- Kirarin [Telsiai], Fencer | Matador | Barbarian, 13.2 B
Top Wizard Build:
- Meyi [Telsiai], Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Taoist, 24.4 B
Top Archer Build:
- DestinedWing [Telsiai], Mergen | Ranger | Appraiser, 12.1 B
Top Cleric Build:
- Nath [Silute], Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor, 11.2 B
Top Scout Build:
- Tyhz [Telsiai], Schwarzer Reiter | Enchanter | Assassin, 6.6 B

[Swordsman]

Swordsmen remains unchanged as the toothpick build still remains as the best Swordsman DPS build for generally everything. With that said, Kirarin of Telsiai has topped the swordsmen rankings on all servers as a Matador | Fencer | Barbarian dealing 13.2 B damage this week.

[Wizard]

This WBR is really made for Dark Wizards to shine with all the advantageous typing adding to the Shadowmancer build’s bossing capabilities. This week’s results on all servers really shows this with every top wizard rankers on all servers dealing close to or more than 20 B damage, a ridiculous number to begin with. Meyi of Telsiai leads the pack this week for all wizards and server rankers this week as a Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Taoist, dealing a staggering 24.4 B damage. The content patch this week aims to take Taoist out of the Shadowmancer equation, and KToS players have mostly opted for Bokor to replace Taoist, so expect minor changes to the Shadowmancer build next week onwards.

[Archer]

The stellar Mergen build remains far and away on top of the Archer tree rankings as always, as DestinedWing of Telsiai takes top spot for Archer this week as a Mergen | Ranger | Appraiser dealing 12.1 B damage. With that said, the content update this week is very sure to change things as IMC introduces a new class, Arquebusier, and also moves to reduce Appraiser’s capabilities to let other classes shine. KToS rankings have shown that Mergens have shifted to Fletcher due to these changes, so there may be minor changes in the Mergen build going forward.

[Cleric]

The Cleric meta has interestingly shifted towards 2 kinds of Magic DPS Clerics, one leaning more on Plague Doctor as a DPS class, and the other leaning more on the Exorcist-Miko combo for its DPS. Nath of Silute takes top Cleric spot for all server rankers this week, using an Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor build to deal 11.2 B damage. The content patch this week sees the Sadhu class getting buffed, so it would be interesting to see if those buffs have any effect on the rankings going forward.

[Scout]

Alas (pfft), this is the last week for the GT-SR to ever shine before IMC brings in the content patch containing a new class, Clown, and buffs that is sure to buff every other variants of scout above the GT-SR. Perhaps due to this, the GT-SR has made one final effort to take the top scout rankings for the last time as Tyhz of Telsiai channels the inner Nakazato one last time with the GT-SR (hopefully), dealing 6.6 B damage as a Schwarzer Reiter | Enchanter | Assassin. Looking at the KToS meta, their servers have seen a rise in both dagger and gun scouts using Clown and swapping Vaivoras, so it will be interesting how the scouts in IToS go about dealing with this.
