    So just because it's a top roll it doesn't count? Right. Who cares about adding attributes to an existing skill as long as it's not standalone!And you can dodge twice in a short period of time. So that's 300. If you're not dodging properly, you're going to die and DPS will fall, same as with any other class. If you can't dodge, any class is "hard".
    Dodging as a basic thing, not class dependent. Basically any decent dodge will trigger perfect evasion. You don't need skill for that.



    You can laugh as much as you want but if you can't point out something that only Valkyries have (that makes them hard) then you're just wasting time.


    Listen genius, pressing a skill button to to recover half of your secondary resource bar =/= having a mandatory roll on chest to get your secondary resource.


    Simply dodging every attack that boss throws in your face is not enough to do good dps with valk. You probably never saw how aggressively a good valk player dodges. They go out of their way to dodge and get bloodflower resets from the boss attacks that would not even hit them in the first place. This is the reason why good valks have high uptime on ragnarok. Doing so requires not only in-depth knowledge of boss fight but also a lot of practice because one mistake while doing so will leave you dead. You have to maintain balance between aggressive dodging to get resets and saving the iframe for oh shit situations, this isn't an easy job.



    You are just being dense with that death and dps loss point. If you believe that archer loses same % of dps as valk does due to dying then you are gravely wrong. Valks suffer far more negative consequences of dying than any other dps class, this is because valk dps out of ragnarok is trash. The only other class that would suffer same kind of dps loss as valk is probably warr when they die during DG buff+boss enrage. Do you get my point yet? Every class suffers dps loss due to deaths but valks have to suffer the most dps loss out of all classes.


    Keep living in your delusional world believing that valk is an easy to master class. If its so ez as you and others in this thread are proclaiming then why dont you guys play valk and do 2.3m/s+ at lakan? 2.3m/s ins't even that good btw, just saying.

    Top roll on chest which grants 300+ points if done properly (or even more, depending on the length of time).


    Damn I can't stop laughing at this reply. I am talking about skills, not gear rolls and its 150 points recovery, half of what you stated. 'If done properly' - then valk isn't an easy class because noobs and casuals will never be able to 'do it properly'.

    You have a point though. I was thinking the same, especially Gunners/Ninjas/Brawlers because they are all working with some kind of accumulative points as well. Losing those points alone won't make a class hard.
    But there should be no denial about dying with these mentioned classes greatly reduces potential DPS.


    And do you realize that gunner/ninja/brawler also have skills to replenish their secondary resources? Gunner has replenishment to recover willpower, brawler has mounting rage to recover rage , ninja has attunment to recover chi. What does valk have to recover ragnarok? Nothing.


    Losing ragnarok points does make things hard for valk, wanna know why? Because valk dps is trash outside of ragnarok. Its comparable to slayer or gunner who are considered as low tier dps classes right now.

    Your only problem is 1 death would ruin my dps, well it's the same for any other dps class WOW MUCH HARD VERY WOW. If only you didn't make the account just now so I'd know if you were being sarcastic or if ur actually this dense


    I never said dying doesn't affect dps of other classes negatively , all I am saying is that it affects the valk most out of all the dps classes. The only one who is being dense here is you with your repetitive 'valk is ez' bs without any explainations.

    valkyrie is easiest class in this game


    Its easiest class to play if you want to farm IoD but if you want to min-max then valk is one of the hardest class to play to its maximum potential.


    Go check out MG valk rankings. The highest damage done at nightmare lakan by a valk in NA is 3m/s , this is almost 550k more damage than the rank 10th valk. The rift between rank 1 and rank 10 dps of other classes is like 200-300k but for valk this difference is 500k+ , why is it so? Because valk takes a lot of skill,experience and knowledge of the boss fight to play to the class's maximum potential.


    You are also thinking only about the class but ignore other numerous factors that go into playing that class. Valk is a melee class which means valk has more boss attacks and mechs to worry about than a ranged class such as an archer. As a valk you have to try and sync your ragnarok with boss's enrage cycles for maximum dps output, even 1 death on valk will ruin your dps. Valk is not an easy class, period. You can believe whatever you want though.

    Archer - Easy to use, difficult to master.

    Valkyrie - Somewhat easy to use, easy to master.


    You got it all wrong. Valk is difficult to master. Its a very risk-reward oriented class. Dying on valk can screw your dps hard. You have to keep track of ragnarok points and your runemarks. Then there are different ways to get bloodflower resets depending on boss attack patterns and mechanics. You must also know when to pop your ragnarok because popping it at bad time or dying after popping it is a huge dps loss. All in all, it is not a casual class. It is easy to play but difficult to master. Even essentialmana lists valk as c-tier if you want to play it as casually.


    Archer is in fact easier to master than most if not all the dps classes. Kinda late reply but I can't stand people calling valk an easy class :lol:
