    Lots of people use mods that edit textures and I have never heard of anyone getting any trouble from them. I guess the loading screen saying "you're not allowed to change anything within your client folder" is just to prevent people from making unnecessary complaints when they fail patching the game due to mod(s).

    I had dropout a couple of times on archer even though I hadn't used im or bg matching at all since I didn't even use the character other than for events. Strange

    Apparently using slaying crystal and staying at low health makes berserker potential top dps class with valkyries. Some time ago lethal strike got buff so it does more damage when on low health and it's very powerful capable of hitting at least as much as thunder strike.


    It's good dps even if you don't use slaying, not behind anything except valkyrie and maybe warrior.

    Read about another study. If you have a plant and you flame it all the day it will grow better and become stronger cause the environment for the plant is better...

    No, if you flame it all day it will burn to ashes and die. However, the ashes may provide a better, a bit more fertile environment to grow for a new plant!



    (Overly sensitive player - a player that rage quits all the time or something similiar - quits the game due to getting flamed too much, one less of them makes the game a bit better for others)


    Edit: I mean you are right too, different kinds of players take feedback differently

    Healers damage got buffed some time ago so they deal more damage when killing normal monsters alone so leveling alone is faster for them. When leveling and killing low level enemies with avatar weapons healers seem powerful, but at max level dungeons healers can only reach some 5-20% of damage dealers dps when using dps crystals and focusing on dealing damage (which healers can't do if they are solo healing, which is the way to go. Healers focus on healing and supporting which increases party members damage).


    Defensive skill sets are good for both healers and sorcerer.


    Mystic can teleport around every couple of seconds and cover large distances quickly. Casting corruption ring reduces all damage to half. Thralls can be used as meat shields. Totem adds a weak shield and minor passive healing for some seconds. Shara's lash stuns enemies and covers a small area around the projectile as it hits a target. Curse of confusion makes enemies run around uncontrollably (mainly a pvp skill). Motes can be scattered all over to allow healing and cleansing quickly.


    Priest has kaia's shield which absorbs a good amount of damage and makes the priest and nearby allies immune to knockdown and stagger as well. Guardian sanctuary reduces ranged attack damage. Restorative burst can be used to stand in to get passive healing while using other skills to actively continue doing whatever you need to be doing. Healing immersion has a big range, heals the caster and nearby allies by a huge amount. Arise instantly stands up knocked down allies which is mainly a personal defense in pvp where you may depend on your team to protect you. The cleanse skill is quick to cast, makes the caster immune to knockdown and stagger for a brief moment while casting, has huge range to affect party members.


    Sorcerer has warp shield which is a powerful iframe that can be used to avoid more attacks than most iframes. Backstep doesn't make you immune to certain boss attacks for example. Also has a teleport skill similiar to mystic, difference being much longer cooldown. Has a good arsenal of stuns and knockdowns and slows to keep enemies away. Has a weaker shield spell with a long duration which has it's uses.


    Every class has many other methods as well but those are some of the important ones

    I haven't played sorc much since the revamp so I can't help with the class specifics, but one important thing in dealing big damage is being prepared for boss enrage phases (boss health bar gets glowing red outline, boss may start glowing red). Mana boost, brooch, focus and play well when boss enrages, this is when you deal the major damage. Your weapon (again I'm not sure about sorc class specifics) should have increased damage to enraged monsters enchantment x2 in the rerollable lines, one in the top line and one in the 3 of the bottom rolls (or 4 if vm gear). You also should have focused crystal which increases critical damage to enraged monsters (+Spiteful, savage, pounding crystals).


    Also if you play with a lancer tank, pay attention to the guardian shout and adrenaline rush, while they are active you can also do a huge burst of damage. They should usually be active when the boss enrages as long as they aren't on cooldown.

    It is a weaker class than pretty much all other dps classes. Check moongourd dps results for different classes, compare slayer to others and it's pretty clearly weaker. (note that many of the top slayers have rare ultimate overhand strike luck which boosts those certain runs significantly). Slayer can do good damage but we're still talking about tens of percents in comparison to top classes.

    Imo it's a lot like priest triple nemesis to final reprisal chain, 1st and 2nd tn to final reprisal is hard to do or even impossible for people with high ping (like, european ping 30-70 is high for tera). Even the basic metamorphic blast to final reprisal is hard for some people with very high, 200+ ping


    Maybe it's just bugged but idk.

    In the Korean patch, it is said it chains faster after the 3rd hit of Distant Blade. And only that hit. So it is normal that it doesn't work after the 1st and the 2nd hits.



    But if it doesn't work consistently after the 3rd hit, it is not normal.

    It definitely works after first and second hit as well.


    @OP It's probably another chain that's ping dependant or you press the button for it too slowly? Or maybe you have kds on cd for a split second so it doesn't come off fast enough?

    PS I asked about this in the support sometime after reaper patch and the answer was as in my first post.
    It will only give up to 8. Any additional ones will not be given. Not even if you had more than the basic two slots already. If this is not the case I want a refund for a character slot xD
