I know that ncsoft doesnt want to make OEed skills overpowered.
But, something is just too much.
+0 resssit wind ............. => 475 dmg from SH
+9 resssit wind for power => 474 dmg from SH
I doubt that SH had any wind stones. And i had no other ressists, just mdef buff.
I checked my "ressist stats" and w/ normal ressist wind I have 20, w/ +9 power I have 26...it seems weel on paper...but its actualy 0.2% dmg reduce 1 less dmg from 500+- dmg nuke...
well, +15 is not really that easy to get and you can just buy resssit potions from npc in aden, so why bother enchanting really if its that worthless
Looks like the enchanting sucks - but really it"s the the resist buffs that got the shaft this update. My sws songs used to reduce more damage from nukes than they do now, I'm sure of it.
I'm sure anyone can figure out why this happened. NcSoft took away something from certain classes (pp. sws,...), to make it available to all with S grade armour (resist stones).

I guess they also figured out that they went WAY overboard with the resist buff stacking. It's finally fun again playing a nuker in pvp - no more 400 damage nukes while being hit by 2k+ damage arrows.
yea, boosting dmg and nerfing defense is way to go, next time they will figure out that nukers crit way too often and crit for 4-10k easily especialy w/ vortex busters...so they will add some +++ dmg to doubleshots so they can crit for 10k too, woot
I am prophet, I die to everyone, thats not the point.
And if your nukers are 2shot, they should buff themselves first. And our nukers usualy 2shot everyone else.
Point is that nerf to ressists buffs was little bit overdone and enchanting ressists for power is totaly useless so why even add that option -.-
Maybe enchanted Resist won't be knocked off by the surrender? I.e. SH needs +9 or higher surrender to wind to land it on someone buffed with +9 resist.
+9 is still the same effect lvl, so surrender will knock it off, i heard at +15 the effect lvl is increased...but +15 is really hard and why bother when you can just buy ressist potion with the same effect but its not possible to knock it off w/ surrender
Even though they increased the buff slots, make it so debuffs don't effect it... Its like we still have no room for other things in pvp, ie. Elemental potions. I agree +15 is a bit ridiculous, but potions shouldn't be the answer.
if your dying to nukers your just bad really, their 2 shots
Ferst all very nice but a 79 MM with lvl4 water on the weapon can now hit a 80 SwM with bufs & songs incl. the elemental song and do same damage per hit as on an unbuffed 79 SwM in Interlude so it took my fun away from trying to solo pvp mages right there..
Sword Muse should not be able to kill a mage Solo. It's a support class (like Prophet).
On another note, Resist buffs in Interlude were overpowered. Rediculous to the point of mind-boggling.
Changing lines of thought, Elemental Protection should have been boosted to 30 Resist across the board (not just fire) and Attribute Resist potions should never have been put in the game.
I don't think +15 Resist buff or whatever will be much of a help anyways, especially not in CT1.5 when Nukers will be able to buff their own Weapon Attribute (via Seed skills) and have those A Grade Fusions nukes usable (long recast, but IIRC, chainable with higher-than-Vortex power).
CT1 is not a complete update. NCSoft failed again. You haev to wait for them to "finish it off" in CT1.5.
Maybe they will fix some of these issues.
But crying about an OE on a buff that no one will want due to lack of buffslots is not the answer.
