The Skyliner Nerf Was Too Much

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

You’ve crippled everyone who went C3 Highlander in the game for iToS. Even kToS has not yet implemented the change.

I’m level 224 and Skyliner is just so weak because of the cooldown to the ability. The fact that I can’t even make half of the mobs I face bleed for the bonus damage makes the ability absolute garbage.

Skull Swing is great and all but the cooldown is too long, the animation too slow and if you miss it then your entire C3 gimmick is gone.

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am. If you play at levels 1 to 200 the skill seems fine, but come level 200+ monsters all have 60k~80k health and a Skyliner versus plate does just 2k damage, with a 2H sword.

I can’t be the only one who thinks they screwed up with this nerf. I understand it needing a cooldown because it become a norm for every class in kToS to roll C2 highlander for the spammable ability, but by doing this you crippled the entire Highlander class.

If anything, the cooldown needs a removal attribute at C3. This way it won’t become a MUST skill for everyone.

It also confuses me greatly that only iToS gets this nerf… Do IMC even play this game?

The cool down is fine try using other skills in your rotation until the cool down is up. The nerf was needed cause it pretty much made every other class circle for swordsman look pointless between rank 2 and rank 5.

The reason why they didn’t nerf it in Korea is because a lot of people would probably quit if they touched the skill.

The cooldown is not fine. I suppose you haven’t even played the class in its current form? Or gotten past level 200?

You are complaining about a 15s cooldown. Take a look at all of Barbarians C3 skills, you don’t see them complaining about 21-36 second cooldown on their main damaging skills.

Actually, you do. All the time. Why do you think the kTOS reduced them in their next patch?

15 seconds makes no sense. It loses synergy with Cross Cut still being at 28. This means if you use Cross Cut once, you have to spam Skyliner 3 times and then not touch Cross Cut again or your next set of Skyliners will not get the bleeding benefit.

Look, if you nerf a class this severely you have to buff the other aspects of the class or you break it. The iTOS team’s sole nerf to this one class comes out of nowhere for no reason.

Post your level or stop posting. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

Of exactly what classes and builds of swordsman? You also just proved you haven’t played past 200 on this version of the game, which is what this topic is about. You shouldn’t enter a discussion if you have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m talking from first hand experience, you’re talking out of your ass.

Stop getting angry the nerf was necessary. It made other class circles look lackluster compared to highlanders skyliner.

Stop being an idiot you know damn well no other class even looked appealing when skylines 0 cd was introduced.

Great reply. You brought a ton of in depth discussion worth reading. Also answer the question or you have no legitimacy over your claims.

At that level shouldn’t u be using cyclone and deeds from doppel instead…?
I am of the firm belief that low rank classes should just be picked for the utility, not for damage

welcome to the 200+ tree of savior where party play is well needed and solo play is being punished by a low exp/hour

should i complain about my psy pressure not being able to stun lock every mob hence making it “useless” cause its being interrupted? or my ice spells not freezing? or or or

you enjoyed solo play till 200 and ofc you fall off alot in 230+ content…as i said its not ment as a solo game and each and every class struggles in solo play - youll see no class even trying to solo grind anymore cause its annoying takes long and is heavy boring…you had your skill for lv 100 play now its crap like many skills for many classes are at that point - you cant expect a c2 skill of a 2nd circle class to be overkill in 230+ … its like demanding energy bolt to deal damage like a meteor

same with the cryo ice blast nerf - it would have been more than great in the early levels but would suck really hard in terms of damage at 230+ too

So Salty. So very salty, and obnoxious. You don’t want a discussion. You want validation. Sorry but your mom ain’t here.

And your solution is worse than the original issue. If C3 highlander gives 0 cd to the skill. That would make C3 mandotary , instead of just C2 like korea.

More salt ?

Make a legit thread from experience of Skyliner on iTOS from levels 1 to 227 WITH the changes and get meme responses and people who don’t even play the class claiming it’s an ok change.

I can’t even. Perhaps once more people reach these levels in 1 month you will see more of these threads pop up. There needs to be heavy changes in this class but all I’m seeing is people actually fighting against changes.

A sudden change in such a drastic way has crippled an entire class circles 2 and 3 and what for?

Another thread ruined by shitposters.
