    Sadly the meta-pattern is clear by now:

    1. Release a new gear system, with alright-ish RNG.
    2. People don't complain that much, decent amount reaches near best gear
    3. Release new gear with same system but more RNG, because 2
    4. People complain a LOT and bunch leaves. Quota for near best is not met.
    5. Design a new gear system, that's easier than 3, but harder than 1. People will p2w this one, since it's so much easier. Repeat.

    Hello, I was bored and saw this thread


    So I made some histograms to visualize the costs of enchanting from +0 to +9. Each is counted from 1 million simulated enchant tries, taking into account both repairing & enchant correction. The Number of bins is listed in the title of histogram, and each bin (bar) counts how many tries needed that exact amount of materials as on X-axis.


    I used the glove data for generating these.

    To throw my 2 cents to this.


    I just got some pieces of blue gear, to be precise gloves and boots. They were are broker for 10k gold which is nothing these day. So I put them on and went to play some dungeons. Turns out now I'm now immortal. Mechs that one shot me before now barely scratch me - they do about same as normal attacks did before.


    I did 2 runs of new shiny hard dungeon AQ, one with my old HO+0 gear and one with these two pieces. First run, let's say I died a lot, we took a long time, but thanks to heroic healer we didn't actually wipe, was fun trying to anticipate boss moves and predict them really like my life is on line (because it is).


    Second run ... well I died like one or two times. Why ? I literally fell asleep in middle of my rotation, because I couldn't bring myself to care to block. So this new shiny hard dungeon is about as hard that you could clear it with party of toddlers and, decent healer and 100k gold (one time).

    This is unacceptable. I literally don't want to progress in gear, because it makes game too boring. What am I supposed to do ? Make a macro that does 1 > 2 > 3 > repeat, because it can play as well as me ? No need to block, no need to do mechs, just facetank everything.


    Please buff literally every dungeon, make them lethal and not a playground for toddlers.

    If you change your IPs too fast, sometimes you can get 24h auto-ban.


    If you used some vpns or smth this might have happened.


    Otherwise just reach support for reason.

    Same thing with damage too though >.>


    If you sum all the gear lines and passives you have, you will get ~50% and that's what you get as bonus. if you add 7% to it, you'll get 57% and not 7% increase in damage... (it's 1.57/1.5 = 4.6% increase)

    For example damage reduction on gear and crystals really follows the rule what u read is what u get but yes crystals for damage do not.

    It doesn't. Reduction does exact same opposite thing: the more you stack of it, the bigger effect it has.


    If you threw 1 more 10% damage reduction on any endgame tank, then during enrage they would only take 50% of damage they used to, or less. (ye, it's broken as heck)


    Edit: they are the same effect, it's just that damage is added and dmg reduction is substracted so they do opposite things

    Arush is bugged because memes ... like remember in past it was separated to two effects ? Dmg and aspeed ?
    And now they added dmg to main effect ... which is amplified by the 10% glyph .... well you do the math.


    Also it's 15.5% not 15% :P


    @Brawler: that's not a bug, passives are just weapon lines (or more like, weap lines are just passives) which means they stack additively, means you don't get full 7% from your view.
    If you took off all your weapon damage lines and gloves and crystals, you would see 7% from passive.

    No not at all are you using Mana Infusion from time to time? with Mana Boost you should not run out of mana anytime soon.

    As far as I know, Sorc's don't use Mana Infusion - not the skill anyways. Just a LOT mana pots and screaming at healer. Afterall using the skill is dps loss when you can instead do damage :P

    Rain of Blows should not be your top dps skill: your most important skills (before awakening as you don't have gear for that) are Scythe and Blade Draw, and you should focus on these two skills.


    Rain of Blows is only considered a "filler" - while a pretty good skill, you only use it when you can't Blade Draw or Scythe (at 10 edge). It shouldn't do more than 10-15% of your dps. While Blade Draw should be around 25% and Scythe 40-50% depending on how efficient you are. (Last skill with good damage is Combative strike, which should do around same damage as Rain of Blows. Other useful skills are only those used as Blade Draw chains / Poison Blade for edge and Scythe chain)


    This is pretty common mistake of new warriors - they focus too much on Rain of Blows, and don't exploit the Blade Draw resets correctly.

    Tbh I am not supporting proxy either, yes Skill Prediction is helpful to people, but proxy brought more bad than good imho.


    But at this stage, just flat out disabling proxy (in any way) is going to kill the game.

    BTW to use proxy after xigncode3 implemented you need to bypass it. Its not like start .bat in admin.
    Just explain me why you support proxy guys ?

    You don't need bypass, the proxy worked for ages on KR.


    Bypass only got made, cause people looked at wth it was, and were disgusted to ever have that on their system.

    Yeah, xigncode in KR does absolutely nothing to proxy.
    They tried to block Shinra meter with it for a while, but after Shinra randomizer (randomized part of the executable so the xigncode wouldn't recognize it) they gave up after a while.


    Edit: I read some scary stuff about xigncode, now I have urgency to check if I ever played game with it and scramble my system for it

    Good idea, but as say Senita, it would be fine create channels for each server... Fraya / Veritas / Arcadia and others..


    Btw there are all avaible Discord smilies... Discord smilies.

    The problem is they will be more barren than moon's surface. If we get more people, then sure, I'm for it. For now we don't even need pve/pvp dedicated channel
