Have anyone else noticed a slightly increased casting speed in other spells as well? I'm not talking about sleep. I have the feeling that when I'm casting hydro it takes more than in C4.
Maybe it is a lag problem or an increase done in C5 that they forgot to tell.
I have a feeling paranoia is slowly overcomming the nuker community. People complain about sleep. Then they seem to find a decrease in nuke damage. And now... an increase in general casting speed for some spells.
Only differance I noticed is the lack of power my Dark Attack spells has on undead, but really that makes sence from a game lore perspective and I'm not complaining....Still got my Hurricane which does the same it always has to Undead. Just makes getting that full Over-Hit a little harder on certin monsters. No change to cast speed that I've seen.
Sorry, I should have written a small decrease in the casting speed which leads to a slightly slower release of the nuke. I'm not paranoid, I've just noticed that when started playing C5.
It's maybe due to server's load or the effect of magic haste potion (acumen effect 2) decreased. I can't remember that I have read any change on that, but I'm sure it takes a little more to cast my hydro.
lol.. I actually felt like Hydro blast was casting faster! But with the lag I've been getting in the last few days it's taking close to half a second to start the casting, so..

Jesus Christ.
I have stated on record that there are several mobs that since the release of C5 are taking more nukes to take down than they did in C4. These include raiders of pastureland, Bone Grinders, and heck I'll have to dig up the other thread to find out the other mobs. My claims have been corroborated by other players.
The fact is, some mof the stats on mobs have changed, not all negatively. However, for the nuker that works in selected areas on selected mobs will likely notice some modifications.
If you want to accuse me and other nukers of lying or making it up, be a man about it, say so openly, and put your money where your mouth is. Perhaps a wager of some sort? If we can determine that attribute/stats on certain mobs HAVE been changed, let's say you.... not post on the boards for 6 months, and if we can determine that they have NOT been changed, I'll take a 6 month leave from the boards.
I have also noticed that my spells seem fail a bit more often now than they did in C4, now that you mention it. I tend to chalk that up to chance, but if there are more of us experiencing that, it may also be a small silent nerf added to the obvious one.
Now GildranTheMighty, are you calling me a liar or crazy?
I'll agree that it appears that some mobs are changing and/or my nukes are failing more often. I've not changed where I've hunted but there are cases where I get a lot of failed messages and I checked to make sure I wasn't using the wrong grade weapon.
I don't think it is anything in particular with the nuker class, maybe just a change to mobs or something. Plus I don't have any data collected previously to test the current state of my nukes.
Just have to chip in i think there is 2 kinds of failing
1 when your attack fails and
2 when the mob resist you.
And me i before c5 almost never had the mobs resist me but now in FotD its like 20% that they resist my drain.
And i dont really like the change they did to weak to attributes, honestly how many mobs are weak to darkness compared to weak to light. But anyway almost no mobs are weak to earth so life is good as a SH.
Sleep is has been ruined. They speed is ridiculous. They gave us fear that lands half the time. If you have a high - men as I do you skills don’t land all the time. Yes they took power away from my Dark vortex and Wind Vortex. Bottom line they screwed the Mages in C5. They think we are over powered but they must have never played a Mage. We can kill in half the time as most ppl but spend the other half regenerating MP NCSoft would be shxxxt for their decisions. I spend two year leveling my nuker and they ruined it in a flip of a switch. Thanks a lot. They must not like all the money I gave them.
