Other classes have much higher HP, averaging around 240k-280k if built properly, allowing them to default Skoll/Ray quite easily. They don't have this problem debating between whether to put points into STR or VIT, since they already have enough points in STR because their damage is increased through that statistic. Also due to HP modifiers exclusive to those classes, they get higher amounts of HP with lower amounts of VIT. In this high rate server, this addition needs to be added to compensate for the other amount of balancing done to other classes. I'm done having this conversation with someone who doesn't really play the class at hand anyways.

You must not be going against Champions who know how to use Aloevera and Thanatos cards. You also didn't address the Skoll/Raydic and Ray/Ray cloak comment. They can't last long in gang situations without high HP

The standard I see for surviving Asura is somewhere over 220k HP since most players default a Skoll/Raydric combination. Sure, if I keep a double Raydric cloak and keep my SGWs on my character at all time, I have no problem surviving asura's at 180k HP, but in gang situations, keeping a double Raydric cloak on at all times is not a possibility. Add in that most people go Puppetring against Clowns, therefore forcing a switch from SGW to a Rucksack with a F Soldier, increases Asura damage. I've been playing Gypsy long enough to know what HP threshold I need to survive attacks on this server. I don't want to hear any comments regarding the "150 dex is covered" since Stalkers and Snipers already have this buff, so this suggestion is really about why Clowns/Gypsy don't have this buff yet.

You need to put the rest of the stats into VIT, and INT (to make Jupitel Thunder effective against champions) to survive one-hit kills like Asura, and other high DPS attacks. Having around 120 strength only allows you to carry 300 yggrasil seeds, while stalkers with the talk weapon can carry 300 seeds without any strength. Especially with the new Tao changes, the Gypsy/Clown branch got nerfed in the butt, since their HP is now ultra low, resulting in a lot of people rebuilding their classes to decrease their STR, and put it into VIT

I'm going to add this to the Valkyrie Gypsy/Clown Bow too: Current Effect: Agi + 25 Dex + 25 +20% damage to demihumans +20% damage with double strafe 30% Chance of auto-casting Lv. 5 Tarot Card of Fate when being attacked Change Effect: Agi + 25 Dex + 25 +20% damage to demihumans +20% damage with double strafe 30% Chance of auto-casting Lv. 5 Tarot Card of Fate when being attacked Enlarge Weight Limit Level 10 The reason for this is Gypsy/Clown players switch between the two for different situations and we don't need to be unable to use our skills when over 90% weight once we switch to something. If you look at the other dex based classes, you'll notice that both Sniper and Stalker get the weight limit increase. Which is odd enough, since Stalkers also get an increased amount of demi-human redux, therefore nullifying the need for a high ygg capacity in the end (more redux = less need to heal). They also get cloaking and backsliding skills. Also, the Mage branch got the Increase Weight limit buff on their Valk weapons, even though they get Energy Coat, which increases their damage reductions. It's weird that Gypsy/Clowns have the least HP, and also don't get a weight limit increase for more yggdrasils.

Bump...I think this should become accepted, yes? :D

Might want to move this to the Valkyrie Item Suggestion thread located here: http://www.forsaken-ro.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=20256

Looks like this:

I think it just has a setting in the forum administration thing.

LOL. DON'T CHANGE IT TO SEE WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. Just believe me. :3

Helllooo. Wondering if you could add the newest forum skin to the option menu at the bottom of the forums? It seems like if you change it once, you can't go back!

I disagree with this suggestion. /troll

I don't see how elitism is related to this suggestion - new players can do the ranking to become a ranker. The points required to enter the top 10 still really haven't changed since I made mine almost a year ago. When I made mine, I had to get like 95ish points to get number 10. That was almost a year ago. Now, I'm number 10 at 103. So I don't think you have to be an older member to become a ranker. The time spent on this server has no relation to the ease to become one. Also, reranking is not as fast as you think. It does take time to do it - so I think when you think hypothetically about "killing a bunch of monsters" its really just talking the talk. You've never done the ranking and its repetitive. I don't think people want to be forced to get all those ranks over again once they've done it. Ranking requires you to kill a specific monster 100 times for one point. This requires you to basically spam TK mission to get a desireable monster which can often take a while. And then warp to the best map for that monster and high jump around to find and kill em. It takes a lot of time and yggs. Is it easy? Sure! Is it worth the hassle the first time? Yes! But do I need to keep doing it every month or every sixth months? No. I log onto my ranker on occasion - I still love playing it and its very versatile. So I don't think I want to redo it every so often. That's not elitism - its just plain and simple common sense. I really haven't seen the threshold for becoming a ranker to have increased in the last year so there is nothing different than ranking now, then in the past.
