is d/wrl lvl 70 elite skill working as intended? after tuning on this buff i always end with big matt reduction compared with skill tuned off.

?

If you use it with mdps gear, then yes You don't have that much stamina and wisdom which gets transformed, so with the 25% magical attack reduce, you end up with less matk than before using the skill

I guess it makes only sense in heal gear to use.

It's fine for me if it is intended, but i would like to see any DEV response
many things used to work different than it should in the past so

Today I will tell you the sad story of the Warden

Once upon a time.

There was one of the most important classes in Taborea, a class that was played by all the brave heroes who wanted to defeat the evil of this world.

But nevertheless, it went from being something really good, to being something really useless.

While many classes are constantly buffed, this one has been completely forgotten.

Currently the Warden is unplayable.

No combination with first class warden gives you decent dps. Many can say that the wd/s or wd/m are fine, but the reality is that they say it to say, but they do not use it, nobody runs instances with warden of main dps, because that dps does not really exist, and it is the reality Not to mention that pet abilities are constantly bugged and there are many times when they don't roll their abilities and just give basic ones.

Who currently plays warden tank? While it's true that wd/ch or wd/w aren't bad tanks, in the current meta game, they don't have a slot, because they lack areas, a lot of mana consumption, and it doesn't give you a real buff or group debuff that the team can take advantage of, as if the other tank classes do.

As a support, it does not exist, or is relatively unnecessary, likewise the wd/p healer. It doesn't cross anyone's mind to use it.

Many of us hope that the warden / bard was fine, but the reality is that it does not work either. bard/warden something very similar.

I also have to mention that it is a class that depends on the pet, once it dies in the middle of a team f, it takes time to take it out again "if it is possible" and in that period of time of invocation or dps is lost or in the case of the tank you are dead. Ahhh and there are certain instances that just the use of the pet is a reason for trolling.

For this and much more. It's dead in the shadows, slowly dying without anyone doing anything about it.

It's tragic that it's only used in a few secondary combinations.

Many of us hope that one day our great warden will rise from the shadows of oblivion and emerge like the phoenix once again.

i play as wd/w tank it is in my opiniom much better than any other in terms of aggro and also he have dmg buff on mobs and aoe stun every 3 sec, you don't need more

aggro "resets" are annoying at last boss (i don't mean each phase reset) Regin after his "jump" almost everytime resets aggro for a moment and can hit character he jump on. is it intended? and if not plz check it

I would like to ask if every "%dmg reduction skill" is working as intended on whole instance? I feel like i doesn't matter if i go as mage/x with no %dmgreduction or as d/wrl with 75% reduction. Hits from many sources fills same for me.

Any one had some experience in this matter?

Quote from Error

Hi All,

I want to suggest, that only one stat category is for one Class only.

Dex - should be only for Rogues (and all other stats, e.g. str, should give 0 Patk bonus)

Str - should be only for Chain classes (Warrior / Champs and all other stats should give o Patk bonus)

Int - should only be for mages

Stam - Should ony be for tanks

Wis - Should only be for Healer

and so on.

This would make the gameplay much better and mor clear who needs which stats.

funny how fast it changed from "specific class" into "gear type" and then for "party role" xD just stupid xD

What about hybrid classes/class combos that uses different stats to do different roles?

Idea of "only one type of statting" is in MY opinion stupid, we don't need exclusive stating pattern, we need equal possibilities to play how we want and of course how we wanna make our own gear.

For now it would be nice to know something more about next Content and not only "it will be around maybe sometime"

We need challenge, not made by ourselfs but made by our awesome Devs.

"Those changes MIGHT be good, but i prefer to see few more small changes step by step in the way of making balance, not radical change everything in one patch.

In General it would be nice to see more often small patches with little change like 2% - 3% etc. not like completely changeing the whole class or skills" -deszcz2

But this Class need a bit more than - 10 % poison dmg

if that will be fact after patch, then next small nerf as i wrote, maybe i wasn't clear for you? if class (any) is too powerfull, then nerfing should be done step by step, small nerfs, patch by patch, same goes with buffs for too weak classes, small buffs step by step patch by patch.
What we have now in most cases is boost to oblivion or simply kiling class.

Quote from orbit

I think dr/wl need a nerf from 130% to 105% poisen dmg not from 130% to 120%.

I think its balanced if you nerf 25% dmg.

And i think this is to much.

10% is fine i think.

In addition to it:

I recommend this skill by 2500 + 1 INT Poison Dmg

Here i recommand to decrease the damage increase for the stacks to 50%

And the class will perform good as usual.

But not this strong.

Quote from Kagamiko

I think that all people who play at a good level understand thoroughly, that's why they play at that level. And for new players, the whole principle of the game at the initial stage is to understand all the nuances

Exactly! I am not arguing against that in any way - I am arguing the facts that
a) plate classes haven't gotten a piece of balancing for a loooooooooooooong time now

b) general nerfs have affected tanks (disproportionally the newer ones) heavier than the DPS

-> Frustration for anyone apart from the endgame <-

I'm not here to advocate tanking being braindead/super easy. I'm advocating for finally balancing out plate gear and possibly giving newbies a switch to a safe, easy and clean tank that overall isn't as useful for the raid for those players to gain some experience with. It's the "5 years minimum experience in the field"-entry level job conundrum.

These players cannot gain experience when they are not good enough to run instances while at the same time they won't get any better cause they cannot run instances -> they quit. We had a wave of german players coming form the other servers to CoA, many of them have left again because they couldn't get into the game. What a shame.

*maybe offtop*
Well if they leave bec they don't have guild/peaople to play with it's not the balance problem but only community being to harsh for newbies

*not offtop*
i have played some wd/ch tank, and it seems rlly funny for me (but not for my party dpss :P)
Idea of Pet being aoe trash tank is quite nice, but it is soooo hard for him to keep this aggro if anyone is atacking his target to hard. Also fact that i can help him use his skill that is aoe aggro hit, doesn't help at all. would be rly nice if maybe one skill (elite 45 if i good remember? the one that gives player 75% aggro) would after use transfer my and one chosen by me player all aggro to the pet? i feel like Aggro lead from s/p do similar thing.

Not sure if this would help, but class is rly interesting and i wish it would be more usefull

there is addon called Charplan, where you can check all skills of all classes and combos + to plan your eq etc.
m/d i good bec of nice spammable aoe skill "Magma Blade"? if i good remember so it is rly usefull in farming/killing mass pulls of mobs in ini

there is noone that is selling such items, to get clean t6 you have to farm on high lvl zones mobs/instances

not any particular reason, it is just simple and good, but as well as m/wd, m/k, m/s for example

Quote from treborx555

Oh so you're telling me I can basically level all classes on 1 character and be able to have any class combo as long as I pay for the race change shop item? And that my starting class isn't that much of a problem even if I fail and produce some bad class combo?

yeap thats true

1) almost all mdps class combos are viable,
2) i believe that most "social" part of game is on discord/ts/anything else?, of each specific guild. I didn't heard of global Arcadia voice channel
3) depends, if you have $$ to buy diamonds to boost yourself, then why not, but doing Quests is not that painfull.

Quote from Noodlez

Regarding Warrior/Mage:

Issues:

- Mana costs for aoe skills are still very very high resulting in heavy resource depletion if you are not playing around it with various supports.

- Why would you play around it? You wouldnt because its dps is only average and the class doesnt really offer a lot of benefits to the group, which other classes wouldnt do anyway.

Ideas:

- Lower its aoe manacosts again.

- Change the passive lvl 50 elite skill "Windbastion" (id.: 499486) to something that adds magical dmg to a 2h sword. That way the class would be played with a magical 2h sword every time and it fits its design more in my oppinion.

~kind regards Noodlez

Edit: Mdps players would get to experience how it feels to be a chain class player, which is as usual the strongest and most broken armor type.

Edit2: I meant w/m. (Ty Madox)

1. From my pov i never felt issues with mana during aoe fights.
2. it would be nice to see some little change in this class but i would like to see not 2hsword dmg usage, but maybe increase duration of mdmg buff or maybe remove GCD from Lightning touch

Quote from Cruvor

there is allready such a Function in the Game ( without the gearscore Stuff if i remember correct) but without the voting to get Kicked if you mean this ( dont fully unterstand the Text on that part)

Greetings

In this game ppl kick usually from group because they have a personal problem with and because of that they treath you to nothing. this is an anti-social behavoir and let the community look toxic. I hate behaivor like this.
Thats should be forbidden in my opinion. If you have a problem with someone in group and dont want to run with him or her then leave the group dont talk shit about them like a rat.

Reason that someone get's kicked here usually means that this person showed so bad gameplay/behavior to often and without any will/signs of impovement, so other people just don't want to be in group with such player. Behind any kick is reason. and if someone is kicked becouse of reasons i believe it's not only "one player" will

Just don't be bad/useless

Quote from orbit

m/k really didnt need a push, thats true the class was already one of the best dps all over the ini but i only can still say push the kn/m pls. weaponlvl from 142 to 250-280 and push more mat and attackspeed pls or its not available in rofl. i dont want this class op only balanced for the possibility to play it in rofl.

what i believe k/m needs is some kind of spammable skill to use between his autoaatacks, maybe make Holy Strike or any reasonable skill based on cps like in s/m where for mage dmg it counts from cps not dps?

edit:

and maybe some kind of passive which would make magical 2h sword more usefull?

Quote from johnkopytko

just nerf little aoe from mage i think 10% is ok or mobs should have more mdeff

I think that dmg of SOME magical classes should be adjusted, but i'm not sure about increase in mob's mdeff, bec if we do so, it won't change anything in magical classes ballance. I mean in terms of magical classes between themselfs it will stay as it is and wouldn't change disporortions between strongest and weakest class combos

i would like to see k/m made as full magical tank not some ugly hybrid that is not even close to being magical tank

Ressurection debuff that is granted after ressing someone is still present on dead person after he/she log out, but player cannot rezz or be rezzed again anymore.

plz fix

What i know when you got CB rezzed by priest or druid tehre is a debuff on rezzed person, so would be nice if simillar debuf would appear after every cb rezz

well i don't know any other way of getting more PFS than IS. BUT In CoA there are many ways to earn dias so it's not that big problem

Buy Blac codex transport spell in Kampel and port yourself to instances in those zones

Hello there,

I play here for 151 days (not much compared to the others probably ;P ), mainly i see myself as mdps, so my point of view is that every single mage combo i viable.

BUT different combos needs different mainhand/offhand/ranged weapons, so good to take closer look before you decide

We have like 9 different mage/x combos and different subclass means different "playstyle?"

i see them like:

m/s - strong dps

m/r - strong dps + bit of support

m/ch - good dps +bit of support

m/wd - good dps

m/d - good dps

m/k - good dps + self survive

m/p - ok dps + bit of support

m/wrl - good dps + insane support

m/w - dps? <--- no idea bec he needs swap equipment to be played good

So as you see all mages are nice to play depends on how you play, and with who you play.

I suggest you to check charplan to see skills and then try any of them yourself

Good luck
