Repairing everything while you defend is part of WoE 2.0.

Well, my main thing with the RSX/WoE effect is consistency. I don't REALLY care if its pvp-like or WoE-like as long as its consistent. I don't like GvGing on Tuesday and it have pvp effect then the next Sunday it having the WoE effect. The reason I went with the WoE effect is because you won't be able to see damage which will reduce lag in large fights. Thanks for your comments.

Ok, so I have noticed over the last few GvGs an inconsistency. Sometimes in GvG I notice a WoE castle pvp effect where no one can be knocked back (everyone has the RSX effect like in WoE) and you can't see damage much like in WoE. Other times I notice that you CAN see damage and you CAN be knocked back (Like in for_fild01 or pvp room). This inconsistency makes preparing GvG strategies difficult. Sometimes your paladins are being knocked around, sometimes they aren't. What I'm suggesting here is to CONSISTENTLY give GvG the WoE pvp effect. This way people won't be knocked back and you won't be able to see the damage you do. This is beneficial because there will be less lag from numbers flying around in large guild fights. Next suggestion: Recalling people who miss the npc. At the moment the rules on recalling people are either vague or don't exist. Some GMs are strict and say absolutely no recalls while some will delay GvG to recall 15 people. I think a consistent rule needs to be placed for this. My suggestion: Warn players 10 mins before GvG like normal and give them 10 mins to join once it opens like normal then give them 2 minutes to be recalled. After these two minutes there should be no recalls what so ever. I don't care if you got disconnected. I don't care if you errored. I don't care if your baby's momma went into labor, you're not getting recalled. This shouldn't impact the wait for the event to start very much and gives those people who log in at the last second a chance to get recalled. Next suggestion: Candies. Add disguise candies to the "against the rules" part of the event. This will keep people from erroring and spamming @request for recalls. Anyone with a disguise candy on after the rules have been read should have there guild disqualified. You don't want to take control of your guild and make them cooperate? You lose. Next suggestion: Black Emperium Aura. Add the aura to the GvG token trader until/if it's added to another event. It's kind of unfair for one person to have it. Make it like 15-20 GvG tokens, I don't really care how much. Just make it available even if its a temporary fix. I'm bangin 7 gram rocks, that's how I roll.

I was bangin 7 gram rocks, that's how I roll.

time is money Anyhow I like the update... I don't mind the scarf thing too much because you guys already said you were adding something else soon. What ever it is I hope it comes in orange :P

It doesn't just lag your enemy. It lags your own guild... Making defense less efficient. If a breaker ever made it to the emp all he has to do is hold down left click and spam his YGG button. The emp breaks and you never knew what happened because you're still standing there 5 mins afterwards from the epic lag. Plus, with more than three gunslingers you run the risk of disconnecting yourself. Hard to defend if everyone is D/C'd.

Many builds benefit from firelocks. Any sort of tank build would wear firelocks. I use firelock/fbh on my priest for asura.

It seems fair. Champs need a bit of a boost... They've kind of been left behind with all the other boosts. All they've gotten is a dorcus. Plus other classes benefit from the firelocks not just champ.

Ohhhh, this is cool. Good work guys.

Much better WoE today. The only one last thing I think needs to be changed is increasing the size of the guardian stones which I think has already been suggested.

Not all classes can wear ifrit ring. And you honestly expect everyone to pop a valk R in their weapons (Reducing their damage) JUST to counter whitesmiths? Star gladiators don't even use weapons and the TK branches can't use ifrit rings. Snipers are meant to be ranged nukers... its the reason they don't have shields in iRO and because of this snipers are easy to nerf. Professors and wizzards have less than 180k hp, clowns run about 200-220k, star glads are around 200k, champs sit at 150-220k depending on shoes. I just think 50k spams while wearing no kiels and sacreds is a bit imbalanced. Smiths are pretty tanky seeing how they don't have to use 3 kiels.

CT just requires cart boost. Asura requires zen+fury+zen+asura+ygg rinse repeat to spam. CT is MUCH more spam-able than asura will never be. Even Yukumaru can't spam asuras as fast as the noobiest WS can spam CT. I just don't know if a class should be spamming a skill that does 1/3-1/4 of some class's HP without kiels and while wearing redux.

Sorry to say this but it's kind of the road you've chosen when you go magic. Welcome to mage life. GTB and FCP screw over mages pretty hardcore. If you chose to play like a mage on stalker you have to be ready to accept the disadvantages. My best advice is to look for a new build. I mained stalker for a long time a year or so ago. My number one tip is this: Never depend on a skill that isn't in your skill tree. Stalkers that depend on copied skills or skills that aren't native to their skill tree are always easier to beat. A stalker who uses his own skills and chooses to copy skills that only compliment this are much more likely to win fights. Vit/Martyr stalkers get pooped on through fcp/gr just like fcp/gtb it's just a flaw in the builds.

I couldn't bring myself to read all of that but I disagree with adding a magic skill to the weapon. The weapon already gives amazing magic damage output and you are a stalker you can copy skills. Its the most versatile class in the game. No QQing about dispel because you can get soul link and never be dispelled. Angel of ghost helmet also gives some magic skills. Try introducing it into your build.

Not all classes can really afford to dispel/dec agi. I still think 45-50k is a bit much. Given the HIGH spam-ability and the high amount of people using programs to spam faster lower hp classes (Champ/Clown/SG/Mages) will drop them quickly.

I think 45-50k is a bit much. That's about 1/4 of a lot of people's HP... and CT can be spammed pretty quickly.

Damn, I don't even have to post. Well put. @GenericName: Anything/Everything is always subject to change at the staff's discretion. Whether it be the right or wrong thing to do they make the ultimate decision. It's better for you to learn and accept that now.

It seriously gives me a headache to read this. Please at least try to type in complete sentences without hitting enter half way through. Gunslingers/Snipers/Stalkers/Clowns were given one hand bows because on this server you are entirely too squish without a shield. None of these classes had enough damage output to make up for the fact that they couldn't have a shield. And you're wrong about people complaining. People always complain about something. There was massive debate over the one handed bows and in the end the argument for the bows won. Whitesmith, however, had a different problem. They were completely shit on by anything with range. So, to try and fix this the staff made a weapon with a buffed ranged attack AND pnuema which shuts down all ranged damage. What may have seemed like a good idea at the time is obviously not fair and has even twisted the class to make it into something that it isn't. Removing pnuema makes the class vulnerable to long range attacks while leaving tomahawk gives them a way to fight back. Lack of skill? Let's talk about lack of skill. Some of the best PvPers on the server can't do shit against a whitesmith who puts in maybe 10 minutes of thought before playing the class. Any and all ranged classes are completely shut down by rsx/gr and pnuema. Don't use champions as a counter argument example because frankly, you aren't a champion, you're a whitesmith. Champions have much lower HP and have to spam zen+ throw sphere (Which actually requires skill to do quickly) as apposed to your endless 1 click tomahawk spam. As Kyuubi said, most of the whitesmiths out there don't even cart term. Hell, I had a smith with 45k tomahawks ask me what master forger cards do the other day! It's very easy to see where the lack of skill is in this whole argument, and it isn't the 95% of the people in this topic who are agreeing to a nerf. You are right, there are ways around smith. The only ways I see to really take out a smith is: 1 coma (Always a fall back) and a fully equipped lord knight with at least some pvp skill. Do you really expect everyone on the server to fully gear an LK just to out tank the over powered smith class? That is hardly balanced. Lastly, you're selfish. Multiple valk weapons that people have donated for have been nerfed. Don't you think I would like my super stalker redux back? My 200% spiral? Sure, if I were a selfish prick who only wanted whats best for himself... However, I'm not.

Side note: If the command to reset hatreds is implemented I'll be creating a guide to play the class. It'll make it much easier because people are always asking me to teach them.

In normal WoE ppl tank professors bolts while tanking asuras from champs. The same ppl get dropped in like 2-3 bolts in WoE 2.0. Seems off to me.
