Sorry for the late response. All of the posts above say one thing only and yes I agree to some. The testings I do together with some GMs may or may not always be perfect (I'm repeating myself again) and we are happy that there are brave souls out there to test these new items (version 1) we released and now we see / observe / re-test these until we come to a point where we can call it "balanced". If we talk about politics, of course all of those people who say that these "nerf" is bad are all in the same group / guild. Same as what happened for Gunslinger. Okay so moving on... I find Taekwon too OP as of the moment since it does very high damage, with fast cast, and a x3 HP increase if you're in top 10 rank. We appreciate your hard work to get to the top 5 but like what we stated in the previous patch notes, these new items are subject to change. We didn't force you to spend 24/7 to be on top rank. I also don't like the mindset when people think that we do this for money and then nerf it when somebody gets too strong, etc. My objective as GM is to improve the gaming experience. I remember back in 2014 when nobody plays Gunslingers and Taekwons. I'm glad and will still do my best to improve these jobs until everyone is happy. ;)

I'll wait until someone tries to make one see. Again, I tested it on test server and ai find it okay.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, we are changing and updating all the released beta items. We'll release official and stable version of the items next patch.

Anyway, so I've been receiving a lot of complaints on forums, Skype, and fb. I just wonder why there's no one posting about the Taekwon and Star Gladiator being OP on forums. I'll leave this post open so that those who wants to complain and share their thoughts will be centralized here. Please bear in mind that the rings and weapon we launched are in beta and needs more testing. I also would like everyone to understand that we've tested these new items on the test server and that doesn't mean it will always be the same in live server. Also read between the lines and don't things I say literally. If I say I watch, I observe carefully and re-test. I did the decrease on some bonus for Taekwon since there are taekwons (with all the passive buffs, foods, etc) can one hit even an 800k HP Paladin. Changes will still be made and we'll release official change logs next patch.

Guardian = Damned = Divine Champ Guardian is not meant for Asura.

Discuss it here > http://www.forsaken-ro.net/forum/topic/33095-gs-tracking-is-op-af/

So you're okay with the current cast time of Tracking?

I'll do my best to make everyone (pro and anti) happy. Lol

of course ;)

I watched today's GvG. There was this GS that couldn't cast his Tracking due to spam of Acid Demo. There is a cast time. But considering your and everyone's rants on this skill, I will lower the damage (not so big and not so little) and add a bit more of cast time. But 2-hand rifle will come its way.

I have pending changes for next patch. I'll change the stats to give way for the 2-hand rifle. Some of the rings you mentioned needs to be combined with something else. For example, SinX Guardian for SBK. We've released Cursed SinX Rune and rebuilt the Infernal and Loki's Blades in order to get the full potential. Sniper Guardian also has Cursed Sniper Runes. The other rings, I can't tell yet since I haven't seen anyone have those yet. For the GS, I already found 1 player that made a counter build to the "devastating" Tracking skill. Although it's a hard build but really works!

Lengthy response but I get your point. We'll finalize everything in the next patch. I also don't want to reply on the other rings since it's (semi) off topic. I try not to giveaway info about the rings but I'll leave it to you guys.

How Far Have You Traveled? Start date: July 25, 2016 End date: July 31, 2016 Read the MECHANICS carefully and post your screenshots here! Some of you may have went out of the country (or maybe out of the planet) so share it with us! In ForsakenRO, which of the places you've been to is your most favorite?

GS Tracking has no cast delay but has cast time and damage is fine to me. Changes will not be made for now since it's stable and I've seen people who knows how to counter it already.

Correct. That's one of the things I pointed out. I also am not saying that professor is the only job to stop GS Tracking. There are more ways to do it. At least I know that some people knows how I envisioned this gear.

Tracking skill has been put down from 650 to 500. I don't really have time to argue here. I will just hope that someone will somehow know several ways to counter GS Tracking. I don't want to get stuck in a players' loop: I'm not a GS Tracking user and I see some so skillful (someone who spent time researching on how to effectively play this build) this GS can kill a party. I decide to just rant instead of researching how to counter and have it nerfed... I'm a GS Tracking user and I spent time researching to make my cast time real fast and not lose the damage I want. Politics dominated and with the majority of the ranters, the tracking build gets nerfed. I will just turn off my computer and cry for wasting my efforts.

Just use a redux Professor. Spell Breaker, Dispell, etc.. Poof problems gone. Research more on this please.

;)

You say this if you've tried all the new rings we made.

Making excuses all the time? XD

If you guys know how to play a Prof with Dispell and Spell Breaker, it should be the answer to all your problems.

I don't want to spoon feed everyone but there is BIG counter for this build using 1 job. That's all that it takes...

Pneuma is one of the counters. What else? :)
