Revival skill, focus skill, pole's arc nerf (C4)

Somebody pleast tell & explain to the people in Korea, that Warlords are practically non-existent already. Not everyone plays nukers and archers.

Revival skill is a joke - 3 hours reuse time, trigger condition at 10% hp (that's 500 hp). In half of the situations, a warlord dies before the skill finishes triggering (but it finishes after the death, 3 hours waiting++).

Its heal power - 1685 (which IS a joke cosndiering limits of this skill), is beaten by battle-roar self buff (or body of avatar). A buff that has no trigger condition and 15 minutes reuse timer.

If Revival is left with so severe conditions to activate, it should really be the revival - full hp/cp/mp recovery (it's once per 3 hours after all), not a crappy pseudo heal that barely even works.

Focus skill only makes one thing - minimally boost accuracy. As I understand, this skills was added so a WL is somewhat useful in non-aoe party. Well, indeed - now they are, they don't wake up slept mobs. Still, their damage dealing power is less of a dwarf - they still can't use any aoe-special, because Focus don't touch any skill - only regular attacks are altered.

Why not make this skill a bit more worthwile. Turn polearm into 2H weapon (from pole perspective - acc+3, better patt) ? Why not make the skill also allow the use of polearm skills in 1-1 fight ?

Polearm arc's nerf

It's still anyone's guess what you actually tried to accomplish with that. Still, the nerf was executed in quite poorly way:

You destroyed the point of using polearm before lvl40

I know that any char can be powerleveled in 6 hours to 40, or in barely longer period to high 50ish, if you have certan high 60ish friends available for help.

But guess what - there're sometimes new players coming to this game, having no idea about the nerfs and C4 changes.

Now wonder - a noob takes a NG pole into the hand and tries to "aoe" with it. What will he discover in C4 ? That this is a [censored], crappy version of 2H weapon. Such a noob, unless he's a masochist, won't ever touch polearms again.

This nerf in the way it was implemented, has no place in the game.

Why not make it this way:

NG polearms work at 100%, regardless of who uses them.
DG polearms work at 100%, only if you have polearm passive learnt. Otherwise they hit at 60%
CG+ - full only if pole passive+2nd class, 60% if pole passive only, otherwise 30%

You achieve the same results, but without making a mess of pre-40 polearm groups.



Why in Korea noone gives a [censored] about problems like those, but they so love overpower or ranged (mages especially) classes for no reason ? Maybe the lead "developer" of L2 should try to play a warlord and see how well implemented it is.

my dwarf is getting a cheap lance after C4..

thank you NCsoft for the pole nerf ^^

I'm freaking ecstatic that they're nerfing polearms. I'm so sick of aoe groups leveling at everyone else's expense. They try to claim multiple spawn rooms in necros and they train every one around them. I, for one, will be happy to see them go.

First and foremost - this thread IS NOT ABOUT THE AOE CAP NERF.

This thread is about 1 utterely crappy skill of WL, another crappy skill of WL, and poorly executed arc nerf.

And offtopic - get ready to see more of the polearms group in catacombs, necros and etc., because with that silly aoe cap those are the places to be now. 20 mob limit is not a problem. You need 2-3 rooms to feed polearm group training 4-6 mobs (due to crappy spawn rate). Do the math by yourself. So I guess - get ready to be trained.

As a summoner, I totally agree that the 'nerfing things pre-40' route is ******ed: You only cut people off from making their proper choice at level 40 by doing this. It was a bad idea when they did it to summons, it is a bad idea to do it to other toons. There would have been better ways to reduce peoiple who don't have Pole proficiency from using poles to exploit AoE to level fast.

I don't know the revival skill you describe - but it does sound ******ed. Other suggestion rather than making it a full heal - how about an instant trigger with a %age?

As for WLs in single-target parties - I don't know about that. I still hate AoE people and think they should stick to their own. ;p
