T1 from my PoV

General Discussion Started Last reply 44 posts
Hmm, my observation of T1 after a week.

Manaburn nerfed.
Erase nerfed.
Bless the Shield nerfed.
Ressist buffs / Elemental protection nerfed + another "replace prophet by potion" elemenatl ressist potions buyable from npc

Nuker damage boosted. (cap on resssit buffs and they are nerefd + vortex booster)
Dagger damage boosted. (crit power 7 for aw, crit wound for daggers)
Archers boosted (attack speed/running speed etc chance party buffs, stun boost)

Root doesnt land against MA4/wisdom even w/ full jewels + 11 root despite the boss jeweles change.
Word of fear land rate and reuse time is horrible.

New enchant options?
Power for Invigor. Power for resissst poision. Power for ressit fire/wind (no aqua), but ressists are capped and nerfed anyway. Nothing else.

New skills?
None, but
wc gets 30% crit dmg reduction buff,
ol gets seal of blockade (for those who dont know, almost instant reuse (like 5s w/ buffs) almost 100% land rate (and lands on raidbosses as well = raiding w/o healers easily, blocks all regular archer/melee attacks.) even my stupid spell turning (which does nothing and is one of the most useless skills ever made) has only 50% land rate

S80?
50 000 shards for receips/mats for set = year of farming?
400 orichalculum (we got 1 in 4 days hunting there) = 5 years farming?

Key binding setup is horrible, took me like 2 hours to rebind 1 to F1 like i was used to in Il, bugged like hell.
Pickup speed horrible, why nerfing pickup?

IoP, namely Dark Mansion instance, why do we need to do it everytime we want to enter CC and who the hell made the last room, mindless guessing 3 mobs out of 7. Why are not items from race quest tradable, its pain doing it on support class.

Well, new inventory, radar and improved shadow effect is cool.
elemental potion resists sucks for prophets -.-, and s80 will take a year to get. dark cloud mansion quest sucks. archers are same but maybe more balanced with chant of protection. /agree on the rest :)

hmmm and where do we get these elemental resist potions? ;)
gotta look at the positives, like SS is easier to craft! and clan leaders get rad summons-that hover! traveling inside giran without bumping into 100 people!


i love this update but im a tank :)

(ty ncsoft for fixing magic mirror, finally)

E.g. at the NPC right outside Aden blacksmith. Cost like 30k for a 10 minute buff potion, I think. Can buy all types of resists.
You can buy the elemental resist potions from Rune, too. Indeed it costs 30k adena for 10 minute protection and there are six types, air, earth, fire, water, dark, light.
I ran into that npc and almost choked at the prices. But this game needs a good adena sink as inflation is starting to get very bad. Bad inflation will kill the new player who will try to play legit.
yes and best adena sink is potions which will replace everything prophet can offer to ppl
I think they're killing prophets. You can almost keep all prophet buffs in the warehouse or have it as an SA.

Nuker damage boosted. (cap on resssit buffs and they are nerefd + vortex booster)



How can their damage be boosted when resistances have gone up and their chance at failure have gone up?

I do however agree with you on everything else. :(
yeah agree with everything but the nukes, nukes fail/resist A LOT now.
+1
Looks like they're about done nerfing nukers and will soon be looking at archers. Hrm time to roll a gladdie.

Are they done nerfing prophets?
In C2?
stop owning olympiad and i'll tell NC to leave you alone for a chron or two ><
As a SE i can say that this metod do not work :/

How is SS easier to craft? It only effects D/C ss and not it's blessed SPS varients .. atleast thats the only change I see.
my pov as ES:

+ No more XP leech from summons (shame its 4 patches too late for me hehe, never got why I need 15-30% more mobs compared to every other class)
+ Erase and manaburn nerfed (never got why someone can take my "weapon" and prevent me from re-eqping it as well)
+ Finally OEing summons between 1 and 10 does something.. who invents a system without reward for +2 to +9..
+ More of a "nuker bane": due to my huge mdef/MEN nuker is peanuts for me. Oddly according to NC I'm a nuker (lol) supposed to own melee. Durrr.
+ EE owning me in oly. Good thing because support should "own" my category (nukers)
+ lvl 79 SB's are finally questable
+ Cubics finally triggering enough to make them worth something

- Hotkeys. Arrgh. Changing from F keys back to my numberkeys was horror.
- Enchant succeed rates lowered (wish I got some more skills to 9 lol, now 8 to 9 is 64%)
- Servitor pathing and AI in their pursuit/combat still horribly broken
- Still no CP for servitors
- Still no new animations for servitorheal (should have gr.heal animation)
- People able to view summon HP (guess that will never be "fixed")
- PS summon still leeching HP from master while having no cool skills of its own to compensate that setback
- OL, Hero, Oly and CH buffs not buffing servitor (still big wth on that one..)

Shame the plusses above are fixes, not boosts, lol. Or are we that far that we consider fixes as new content :p

heh, that was the sarcastic part of the post.
Well, according to some info, WC will get better "combo-buffs" in T1.5 than prophet and SE will get magic barrier combo buff. And those combo buffs are 70lv. Can anyone who can read korean confirm that and can anyone post something positive for prophets from T1.5 so I can decide what to do .

Any word on how they work (seeing that Kamael+ is already live in Korea)? From what I read (only rumors though), it seems that you first have to buff the single buffs, and then do the "combo-buff" to replace the two single buffs with one icon. If that's the case, I wonder how a SE is supposed to get magic barrier on a buff target >.<

Its Simple, Quit already. Irregardless, all your going to do is complain about your prophet, like you always do. You seem to have WC envy, perhaps reroll into a WC? Do something, aside from your constant nagging and [censored] about your class.

I can barely move in Giran now due to a fact that I can target people I cannot see when I just logged in, so instead of running where I point I just get a target on random player.

ANNOYING ><

yeah agree with everything but the nukes, nukes fail/resist A LOT now.



you're crazy if you think that. Nukers are way boosted.

yea you fail alot as a lvl 70 nuker vs lvl 78+ people. if you are lvl 78 with enchanted nuke you are fine.

Yea, thought that was just me/my computer. Thats annoying as hell.
Maybe I am trying to show ncsoft that something is wrong so they can fix it. DOnt worry when ill not have fun playing L2, ill quit when ill not have fun playing prophet ill reroll, thats not in your concern.

Nope, its lvl 70 nuker vs 65 lvl mob for instance, i believe.
I barely ever fail nukes on the dark red mobs out at IoP on a 78 mage.

and seriously who cares about pve.
Help. My windstrike keeps failing. ='(

Resistance when up, became easier to get, and the damage increasing part of the surrenders and vortexes went down, meaning mages now deal less damage overall. And for sps, they just lost the only thing that made our 77 vortex useful.
you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

not yet, not just yet. I'm still waiting on L2day Berserker Spirit scrolls ;)
**** i want those
O and holy weap in case anyone can ask the devs for me plix

For holy weapon consumables got to Pagan and hunt few hours or MoS for unholy weapon (or was it the other way around?...gah can't remember)...I have never used one of those crystals so I don't know the duration.
blessing of darkness ie dark att atribute = pagens
holy blessings ie holy weapon = mos

Slightly off topic, but do those crystals work only on melee waepons or bows and nukers weapons as well?
I believe harping on and on about the olympiad when frankly it should be removed since it seems to just keep re-breaking the game balance for everything else is ludicrous.

And yeah, good to see Ellisande is still making up random crap. =D

PS: I loved my prophet, I really did. Awesomely fun class, and so weak that I always thought NCSoft couldn't want to nerf her any more. Durh. She is currently buff*****ing for my baby WC.
Battleprophet and WC could be interesting combo indeed :)
The WC is not being made as a replacement extension to my prophet (I liked my EE), but to replace her.

With the roundabout nerf at resists and Word of Fear, the two things that were still really, really cool about prophets pre-olympiad was removed.

Oh, and there's zerk. But frankly? Not worth it by itself.
Taking a detour off-topic, How long are you back for Maline? Just curious.

I got almost 200 extra damage per nuke from Blessing of Darkness. Rocks.

Made me do alot more damage to undead mobs in FoTD also. Some of them went from 3 shot to 2. I think if I had zerk, all of them would be 2 shot.
Uh, those of us 'non-factors' that aren't 80 80 80 with 10 alts that are also 80 80 80, care about PVE.

I failed a nuke on a dark blue mob, I fail a lot more than I did on white mobs. It's not a huge deal but it is a fact that it is more than in Interlude.
i missed a lvl 6 mob outside elf village
my stun is 60% on elphies
