We don't need GMs to regulate prices, we need you players to stop buying OP stuff and let it all die down.

We should still test how high the allowable HP for the class is. I use the class, and imo, with all his skills, it should still be at least lower or on par with wizard hp(which is another one that needs hp boosts). It will be hard to balance the hp to fit both events and normal pvp, so that should not be the basis. A bit of an increase would really be good, but needs testing. SL is a glass cannon anyway.

In short, it would still be better to just invest on cards like TG instead of using drake card.

The kicks only work with ranker as they can chain it, not with star gladiator. well, i would say that the most hindering is the delay on FSK, so I rank it up first. the others are mainly for convenience purposes, but the delay on running > fsk really hits your DPS.

Well the first one that should be fixed is the Running>FSK delay. I can live without the hatred reset honestly, so that could be the least one. imo it should be fixed in this order(if it cannot be fixed all in one go) 1. FSK Delay 2. item for soul link 3. HP 4. Hatred reset

Here's the thing, Desperado is kinda on RNG side. It randomly hits 1-10 per cast, which makes it seem kinda weak with the 80% maximum spam(it was actually less than that before, it was around 70% originally I believe). However, adding that it is on the RNG side, putting back it's original spam will make it so that the RNG part of the skill is irrelevant and then will make the skill OP(the spam was so fast that it could drop people faster than some SB SinX, and it is AoE). I used GS with legendary stuff way before the delays are in place, it was a mindless class to use. All you had to do is walk up to people and spam desperado and you will net a few kills. In fact, it was one of the most boring ways to play a class ever in my experience, it was as boring as a sniper spamming FAS and not using traps. It was so mindless that there were a few times that I cleared fild by just having a pally with legendary gears and my GS on legendary gears, have ship captain on and use evil druid armor and just spam. Put in a thana in there and it was way easier. I am pretty sure the delays will not be removed, just as the delays on other classes will not be removed as well. As I always say before, what we need is new weapons for gunslingers, not delay removal. Either that or we test for an increase in damage of desperado wherein it will compensate the delay a bit for people with legendary and vote stuff, but the damage will not be so huge to those who are fully geared and has thana. Bottomline is that the delays were put for a reason, it's not like Genesis or Veracity plays in the server and got killed by a GS so they "nerfed" it.

They were made when ninjas and gunslingers cannot wear shields due to their custom weapons(forsaken weapons) being 2 handed. The reducts on the hood served as their "Shield" that time. Now that weapons are one handed, allowing the hood to stack with friggs shield would result on them having sky high reducts.

With the current gameplay in the server, I would disagree on using Piamette ears now that you can get Vote fhelms. Reason would be that the increase of damage is not that huge and you lose a card slot and become vulnerable to freeze, it's not really worth it.

Thanks for doing this Victoria. I really hope someone could just pin this so that it won't be buried under new threads that will be made eventually.

It's not a bad idea(i am gonna get the most posts award for sure though) but I don't think we should give awards to the ones who reports a lot, since the premise is that they should be anonymous.

Decent guide as it says most of the info needed. I like to add one thing. Not sure about everybody but i bring stone arrows, simply because there is a 90% chance that your enemy will not bring an armor that combats it. If you are on a situation where you will be fighting tons of people, switching arrows constantly can be a drag, so I use stone arrows during those situation to make my damage consistent. hope that helps.

No card increases acid demonstration on a pre-renewal server. Therefore, your only choice for headgear cards is Kiel, and you need 3 of them to achieve the spam you need to pvp.

^ I wouldn't even mind doing it a lot of times just to get +1 atk given that it will not be that hard since this is a high rate server, mobs die in a one or few hits. I would literally finish doing a lot of those in a week by just spamming kicks(easily done when you get to Ranker status).

I will just explain what the drop rate really means because it seems that people are mistaken about it. 10% chance means the item will drop 10% of the chance detale is killed, this chance is not changed the more times you kill detale, it won't add up to 100% like most people are thinking(thinking they will get EOF every 10 kills of Detale). That is why it is random. I can kill Detale once and get EOF and you might kill Detale 100 times and never get EOF simply because the 10% chance did not trigger on your end.

Well I just can't seem to understand on why they consider those delays as nerf, when it was really a fix.

SB SinX spam just fine atm, they can constantly hit 3-4 which is more than enough to actually kill most people. If you cannot kill with your SB SinX within 3-4 SBs, I would say that you need to rethink of your life choices.

Off topic but that's a nice signature. At least some people still play Elsword.

Well, tons of the things Patchworks did were not legitimate. :D It was still funny when he let out like tons of skolls when he spammed the skoll summoning scroll in the pvp room. I don't know which SinX he is talking about but I can be very sure it is not from the Seek and Destroy guild. That guild primarily only had Sonic Blow SinX and everyone of them uses the same build in pvp. And well they do get lucky in WoE, but who wouldn't if your entire guild is made up of SinX and this is before the changes on the Emp HP. But none of them stood out, as they always are the same. I was leading the remnants of PsychoSamuraiz guild then when Date went inactive and Inamoto only goes on a few times and I always see Seek and Destroy but never really remembered any of them that stood out.

It isn't, if you only pvp in for_fild that is. Other places or events like GVG or even WoE, it could be an advantage provided the player knows how to make it an advantage. Regarding the heal-slave feature, it seems easy enough to tweak around.

Yeah I remember him actually even though I am not that active in WoE during those times( I was a measly wizard paying my dues then). Well there was also that one time Patchworks broke the emp.

Most of it is ok. Since you are focusing on breaking, higher str is better(compared to the other one you posted where you want to be a bit good on pvp and breaking) since you should not worry about your hp if you have a decent paladin with you, and as a breaker you should have unless you are going solo. Vanberk cards are useless imo, it is a wasted card slot. I would have removed TG myself because the magnum break going off sometimes annoy me and just use Paper card to replace it. Others are saying it is a noob move, but I would have an extra headgear with LK card in it. I would use Berserk if I know I am undergeared. But it needs practice on WHEN to use it as you should actually know how long an emp will stand depending on how many are breaking

^ Actually, the thing about magnum break there is a misconception. It does not change your element to fire, it just add fire damage on top of your damage during the few second buff it gives. The thing that lessens your DPS output is when it actually goes off since you kinda stop attacking for a bit.

If your hp is high enough and know when to seed, 260 str vs 280 str won't really mean a lot as it only allows you to carry a few more seeds.

That makes sense then, I thought he was using it for the crit bonus. Still, wouldn't have wasted a slot just for 2 stats when you can get that easily with foods.
