The Green one is broken too.

I disagree. If you want dispel slot a Valk R or slap on a Drooping valk. How about boosting other things like giving a better HIT/STR/HP bonus?

I'll buy that dorcus. I'll be on in about 2 hours.

Polling is too easy. We need constructive thought. It's hard enough to pull comments greater than "I disagree" or "+1 I agree" as it is. If we add polls some people won't even post or share thoughts. In my opinion the process of debating/discussing things is often just as important or more important than the topic being discussed. A lot of great ideas show up not in the original post/suggestion but rather are products of the discussion in the thread. Making it a poll kills the incentive for a lot of people to even post. And as Cirrus said: You can artificially inflate polls with multiple accounts. I have about 6 email addresses that I could make forum accounts for and inflate any suggestion I make. As you said; not many people visit the forum or post so those 6 accounts could make a difference in a poll. Whats more you could just go in-game and tell your friends to vote in favor of your pole without them adding any thought to the process.... Just empty votes. Hell, you could even pay people in-game to vote in your favor.

First of all, I've tried damn near every Stalker build imaginable. Strength based Stalkers used to be effective until the addition of a one hand bow. There are no effective strength based Stalker builds anymore because the benefits of the bow greatly outweigh any strength based build benefits. Shield Chain works off of your attack and card benefits. Dex + Soaring bird has a much higher attack bonus than the Stalker dagger + Strength. Add in the fact that the bow gives more damage to demi humans, 20% more hp 15% reductions, why would anyone go strength? The suggestion topic you mentioned about shield chain was about boosting the damage bonus given by Friggs. No suggestion to make shield chain elemental has ever been accepted and I'm fairly sure it will stay neutral for ever. If you wear a GR armor and Usakoring + fshield then Shield Chain will do around 2k per hit tops. This is no way comparable to the LK's ability to spam 4-7k per hit elemental damage. Sure, Stalkers can strip... but fcp tickets are easily available and almost everyone has an alt account or a friend to fcp them. When fcp brings your spiral damage to 2k per hit then we can maybe make a direct comparison to the two skills. The Intimidate skill you're mentioning is not effective on this server at all. On this server it's called "Snatch". What does anyone do the moment you Snatch them and they get teleported? They @warp right back to where they were. The skill is at best an annoyance in pvp, not an effective way to combat an enemy. Furthermore, you can't snatch people in WoE, GvG, PvP arenas. Close Confine is also very ineffective on this server because the thief branch can backslide out of it, Champs can snap... and any class with a knock back skill (Jupitel Thunder, Smite, Bowling bash, Magnum Break) can break Close Confine. My point in all of this is that sure a Stalker can stun-lock you with Shield Chain but overall it is not comparable to the LK's ability to stun-lock and kill because LK's can knock you out of pnuema and their stun-lock skill is elemental with a high damage output. Now, on to Acid Demonstration: You don't even need FCP to block this skill. RSX/GR + 2X Rays + usakoring fshield and Acid Demonstration will never even reach 1k damage per hit. Creators bolt skills are also limited as most of them are using a weapon that gives them the level 3 bolt. They are not an effective way of killing people and are at best an annoyance. Their damage output is in no way comparable to a LK spitting out 4-7k per hit spirals and capable of 22k x2 each hit with bowling bash. I don't believe I ever mentioned anything about cloaking cards... that's you're choice. I think you're focused too much on what classes were in the past (mentioning 2-2 and how things were before Charge Attack was implemented). You need to let go of that and look at how to keep balance now. As for Mages: The Prof weapon needed Stave crasher. It's a fair and necessary attribute in order to give Professors some hope in pvp. When your entire offense is blocked by 1 card + fcp then you have the right to compare your class to the Mages... until then I don't see any necessary comparison nor any similar buff necessary for LK's. You consider the fact that BB knocks people back a disadvantage. I would argue that it's more of an advantage overall. You get to push people out of pnuema and my favorite aspect of it is that you can knock those pesky Sonic Blow Assassins off of you and get down to spamming Spiral. You don't need to wear maya purple + f.soldier. If someone is using puppetring and cloaking then use box of sunlight + f.soldier. You'll still have 3 card slots open for kiels making your spamming ability pretty hefty. LK's can knock people out of cloaking pretty easily. Is slapping on a horong card that difficult? And you can also Magnum Break, which is much easier than using sightless mind on a Stalker, or Unchained Serenade on a Clown. The Stalker must be in Hide to use the skill (which greatly lowers movement speed) and the Clown goes into a song stance when using US so they can't start spamming Vulcan for a second. LK's can just run up, Magnum, spam spiral all very quickly. There's no argument from me that LK's are OP. They aren't. They're balanced and fine as they are. They don't need further buffing or any sort of nerfing either. An sp boost would only give them the ability to hoard tons of yggs while having a huge HP modifier to tank.

There are no effective str based stalker builds anymore. Shield Chain is always neutral which is easily reduced, Spiral Pierce can be enchanted with elements. Stalkers with Shield Chain can't effectively get around pnuema, LKs can charge attack, bowling bash, spear stab. Stalkers have awesome reductions, no argument there... however their damage output is much less than a LK. Acid demonstration does low damage if you fcp/gr/usak. It's also blockable through pnuema and creators only knock back skill requires them to get close (and probably take damage). A rsx/gr will probably save you from any acid spam. Creators need the stunlock... I mean, they really have no other damage options except for bolt skills (unlike LKs who can bash). Magic skills are easily blocked with gtb. Mages need the stun lock to have any chance at getting their kills before the enemy gtbs. My point in posting this is that you can't really compare these classes to LKs because LKs have more advantages/options at hand when stunlock doesn't work. LKs can go to bashing when stunlock is blocked through pnuema. Creators/Mages/Shield Chin stalkers are all easily blockable and have very few effective options once they have been blocked.

I hope this gets implemented eventually. I don't buy BB's but I do convert all my etokens to tokens for right now. Good idea =P

Yea, I was just saying... the higher you boost that str bonus the higher full asura goes after you get past gvh+10 x lk cards.

Exactly. If you want something great (High damage, infinite spam, epic stun lock, range) such as spiral then you must be prepared to give something up and in this case it's SP. LKs have tons of hp, their main stat is str, and on top that their pecos boost their carrying capacity so they hold a lot of yggs. Given your high HP rate you're capable of holding off on ygging to heal your self. It's damn near impossible for some classes to outlast a LK without just running the whole time. The damage they do isn't bad either so you're dishing out 5-7k ea hit with spiral which hits 5x so...25-35k damage that can be spammed endlessly ands stunlocks the target. I think the low sp is a fair balance to the class. Sacrifice a kiel/fsoldier for a pharaoh card. Try a fbh/firelock combo with goldenring weapon.

Keep in mind this will boost full asura as well if it's buffed. Every bit of str makes a difference with full asura.

Welcome to the server! Feel free to pm me if you need help.

I recently reinstalled the whole game (was having trouble seeing imp helms for some reason). I downloaded the all-in-one using Google Chrome. The download and installation went smoothly. I'm using Windows 7.

You're probably better off using a +10 fhelm with the +str card & a kiel or 2x +str cards. Then you get freeze immunity as well. I can agree with boosting the aspd on the helm though. Maybe something like +5-7 aspd along with the current agility bonus it gives.

I think the damage is fine as it is. And after consideration I think that the sp is fine as it is too. LKs carry a lot of YGGs and have tons of hp. They really use yggs more as a sp recovery than hp. I think this brings balance to the class... All classes have low sp with 2x fbh and low int. If you're going to ask for high damage output (spiral spamming with high str) you have to sacrifice something which in this case is SP. You can't have it all. Champs sacrifice HP with tanees. Stalkers/Clowns/Snipers sacrifice redux with kobold hat (And possibly freeze resist if they don't have scarf). Sinx sacrifices redux with 2x dagger or katar (as well as having extremely low sp with 2 FBH).

They never worked to begin with. I think it's probably on their "to do" list though... why would they go through the trouble of putting them as drops just to never let them work? Probably just need to be patient.

NO MORE ANGELINA!!!

Collecting and selling Pyroxene is also a easy way to make money. You can probably sell pyroxenes for 1pyro to 1 token if not then 2pyro to 1 token. The best way to make money is to do what the people with money don't want to do.

They could be divided into donation, quest, vote, and event categories with the donation one doing something extra of course. (Maybe +xx% walk speed, or +x stats?) I'm more in favor of quests though because they give new people a way to get gear/make money as well as giving older players something to do. And if the attributes are the same as Santa Poring or Deviling hat then they wouldn't cause any class balance problems.
