Rather put the debuff from serpentine attribute to Gae Bulg, remove the old debuff from gae bulg and increase all skill factors like you said, because would be only one debuff instead of 2. I really like the idea of debuffs, but waste 3~4 seconds just debuffing before using your main skills is really stupid. Also, faster animations/cast times and put a remove knockback attribute for dethrone (like you suggested) would be delicious.
Make Gae Bulg range adjustable, give it the serpentine debuff and remove his own useless area debuff.
Exchange Gae Bulg and Dethone Cooldown.
Increase Dethrone and Dragontooth damage
Debug Dragon Soar, make Serpentine / Dragon Tooth able to combo with this one.
Increase Serpentine’s animation speed
Switching the debuff to Gae Bulg works, I was looking at it from a skill varience point of view but that’s fine too.
That could work, but IMC wanted to limit the skill more, in any case it could work like Spear Throw and have the option for an instant pick up.
Anyone tried the real value of the Gaebulg debuff?
Tried lvl 5 one (trying Dragoon Murmillo for fast spear picking) and it seems the plain old +30% damage (cut in 2 hit instead of one).
Anyone one tried it? Do you think it is possible it is 10% per invested point?
With my auto attack I was going from 1750 to 2000 on level 10. Gae Bulg does not appear to increase with level.
GM Papaya thinks that Dragoon’s will be further changed, as they are not as powerful as they wanted. With IMC’s focus on balance I wasn’t overly concerned that they will be rebalanced. My main concern is having the changes quickly, and really tackling the core of the problem that has been prevelent for so long.

This was pre-rework but maybe the damage calculation and implementation is still the same for the debuff.
/postcantbeempty20charrrrsss
Gae bulg still sucks imo. Giving it such a high attack is meaningless if it is so hard to land. And the buff is not double like ppl say, more like 15% split into 2 lines.
It’s why I’m concerned about how IMC will balance the class. If they just decide to turn the damage up, then I’ll take Dragon Soar and Dragontooth over Gae Bulg because it’s so impossible to use properly. IMC needs to rework the skill interactions not just change a few numbers. I don’t want to spend 11.2m minimum on attributes, just have them continue to be obsolete.
They could give some love for cataphract too. I hated this class before the update, but damn, kinda feeling bad for it now LOL
?_?
Have a catagoon since yersterday and i dont think its hard to land gae bulg.
After some training it works.
Btw it is normal that i cant run&charge with dragon tooth?
Goon is at least a dmg boost compared to cata but a joke against my doppel ^^
Dragontooth is a static charge skill, you get rooted when you charge it.
The only thing that dragoon can compete is boss damage. But a well geared doppel or fencer still can beat him on boss runs. Not to mention wugushi…
My Doppel got a crappy Pajitoras sword +8.
Still crits 250k with a single hit.
Gae Bulg deals 50-60k with a better weapon.
That with dt surprised me i thought it would be like doomspike^^
This 250K skill is punish, right?
Zornhau with the attribute.
I got the punish attribute just a few hours ago but it looks good too.
Yup, even some of the lead up classes are in need of rebalancing which just causes even more problems for Dragoons.
It’s easy enough to aim, but due to the hitbox being bad and the animation long, the enemy can walk half a metre to avoid it. And that’s with you being mounted and having additional mobility, dismounted classes it’s even more difficult.
Off-topic or not…
Here’s someone who may have subconsciously gave up on Dragoon:
All identifiable features were omitted with all due respect to the actual owner.
I’m going to continue with my Dragoon and aim for a Wingshard. I’m finding 2H to be underwhelming compared to 1H and as a Hoplite the synergy is too good to ignore.
This guys is my friend ,apparently it’s his 2nd RHP. You we’re there when we were talking lol

This is where the dethrone bind synergy comes in, dethrone bind then gae bolg, my favorite move when I was dragoon 2 for a day.
Hush… I was keeping it secret >_<
The RHP is crying for the sweet release of death after all.
