Since I have got a real verbal beating for speculating that Anakim transformation scrolls / sealbooks "might be" removed in Goddess of Destruction I would like to ask the GMs, if it's within their power, to find out whether or not this is so.
I heard that the catacombs / necropolises will be closed and Lilith and Anakim removed, so obviously people, including myself might be lead to believe that the transformations would be removed also.
those transform scrolls drop from the treasure chests mostly these days and if you would have used search on the topic you could have known this as you're like the 10th person asking for it..
unless they also remove the drop logic from those chests they wont go away but if it makes you happy destructor from korea says that he hasn't seen anakins in action after GoD, prolly cause the awaken mages are so much stronger then that they don't need 'm anymore.

Tell that to the hero on Chronos that use them . 1 anakim in 1 party can down 3 party easly , Anakim has ~20K hp and player that use them has 300 divine element weapon , give 4k to 6k dmg each atk, they use auto assist so you have 2 - 3 anakim on you so 0.1 sec and you are down.
impossible to kill a Anakim by dmg cause auto quick heal + cp pot make them pretty hard to kill but they kill fast.
Anakim create a big unbalancement during siege / TW .
just saw,before the event where one clan got lot of anakim transpho they was not own all the ward and after the event,they own all the ward.
Same for their castle,we was able to steal their castle and now we can't anymore.
I never been to any Lilith or Anakim raid and I wished to do it so much :(
Can anyone take me there before GoD is here? What levels are they? :D
Lilith was the basic way top clans were lvling crystals for years,raid could impress you when you were 78lvl,but after 83lvl and endless times of going,it was just routine.
Fun part was always the pvp out/in catakomb,changes of teleporting/gating to get inside raid before enemys.
Anakim was a different story,dont know how it happened to all servers,but it was the most rare item in game because dusk had to win to spawn this raid for 1 week and this was kind of impossible since major clans always had castles and were dawn site,book drop rate also was like 10%.
On Franz,we had a time in summer we lost our castle due to summer inactivity and leader thought to make it advantage,make dusk win and farm anakim hoping enemys wont realise it,issue was risky,if enemys that did had alt clans without castle thought of it and had camera and ready partys everyday in catakomb,they could get the anakim transform instead of us!
(Back then my clan had the only one anakim in server which was really strong weapon in hard pvps and sieges,if enemys could get 1 anakim too,then our superiority would fade).
We first killed raid in morning,to set spawn time in the less populated hour of server and in 5th day i think book was dropped. Enemys learned about that when they faced 2 anakims in next siege. :)
I still wanna go there :D
I remember having few mass PvPs on a private server few years ago. It was time of C4 and we were one of those weaker clans playing mostly for fun, we never got in :/
Anyone think they didnt see any Anakims in korea because they dont go out of their way to find the next op item or skill?
Anakims should still be very strong on new mage stats, even without a "holy stance". The cooldown on the skill is ridiculously short.
Or maybe koreans are in a race to lvl 99 and dont bother with anakims?
Anakims are powerful today because they got 2 AOE nukes with 2x power of normal nukes with no CD on those.
After GOD goes live(which from NCsoft actions seems to be fairly soon) nukers power will increase as well as magic defense(with new jewels etc) making anakims less competitive not worth the price.
You can get Anankim scrolls from some events, from treasure chests, buy on market from players. So they will not be removed
I see only 2 situations with this scrolls:
1)Skills of Feoh Wizard will be more powerful than anakim, so it will be better to be Feoh Wizard than use anakim scroll
2)If we read patch notes we can see some changes with transformations:
- Changed the base stats of all transformations to suit the changes to racial stats. However, please note that some transformations have independent stats that are different from the character's status.
In my opinion effectiveness of Anakim tranformation in GoD depends on this change.

Yes, nuker stats will increase. But what makes you think they wont just hit harder with anakims?
Or the new nukes have so much more power rating that its not worth it anymore? I bet you cant spam the nukes as fast on Pheo Wizard as you can on Anakim.

The game siege / TW was more balanced then now.
Fashion item ? no , OP item,yes.
Anakiims are easy to deal with, when you figure it out you wont complain about them
Anakim is just too overpowerful and get the game inbalanced. It is just ridiculuous to have such strong range aoe nuke almost without reuse. Some clans already have enough scrolls to own tw/siege for years. It is not fun. No matter what level you are and what equip do you have. This thing makes too much devastation and deserved a nerf for sure. Maybe reuse time should be fixed or so.
lol, haven't you ever fought enemies with Anakims on siege field? Don't you know that they are using third-party software to do auto-target and scripts to do other stuff? With such tremendous damage in no time and this stuff, legit players cannot withstand them.
Or may be you can? Please, enlighten us.

It is not the overpowerfull issue so much but the number of anakims that we see on naia server + the lag that is produced when this clan arrives.
When anakim was designed for game,it was 1 book with 30' of use and 4 hours of cooldown to obtain in was so hard only 1-2 transforms could exist in every server.
After merge of servers we have all people from all servers with anakim transf gathered in 1-2 servers AND we had an event with scrolls and treasure chests that give scrolls that dont have a reuse time.(Sace can you tell us what is the number of scrolls all chests can give in 1 week?
Result is ENDLESS anakim transforms.This is the problem.
Please read my post on Suggestion for the Future,the problem might be even deeper.
