*Private roflmao about these.. and i do really mean roflmao*

Geez, i was starting to like assassins class again, even if the damn sprite looks weird >.>
Why do they hate assassins so much.. Give us "dex reduces sonic blow after-cast delay" again Y_Y

Brainstorm is probably right.. They are gonna screw with most gc skills anyway -.-"

[LimitLine]

Am I the only one who hates the way the male GX walks? It looks kinda... really wrong u.u

But yeah, I mean, as far as I remember Dark Illusion had a range of 7 cells, now if you also take in consideration that you can't let's say, skip objects to reach the target, then I guess there wouldbe nothing wrong about leaving them enabled on WoE.

By the way, this is what I mean by not working if there are objects in the way:

You <Wall/Stone/Tree/whatever> Target

Fails

That's not bad, actually, since WoE castles are usually crowded with shit, you would need luck to find your target not being blocked. I wouldn't mind still having that in WoE, but whatever.

IMO what needs to go is Berserk. Fuck. If we priests can't use assump, why the fuck can they use the trump card, zerk?

You are either using sarcasm or never played a low rate.
Eitherway, why not remove knight class altogether? They have become useless ages ago.

[Epoque]

Lol, I like this talk about useless skills.

Maybe perhaps on high rate or private servers together, but like Brainstorm iterated, you have to remember that on the official Ragnarok Servers, the rate is generally 1x/1x/1x. So a skill like Berserk for Knights is used often, especially when levelling.

However, I can't help but feel a dislike to some of the new skills they implemented for existing classes. Such as Acid Demonstration, even if it's for a low-rate server, it's fair powerful.

I wasn't thinking of ditching it on regular leveling but just WOE. I guess I'll retract my statement since after talking to someone who actually played a server that has WOEs with more than six people (read: not me), real LKs do not trump six people before they die, themselves.

Ahh, bullshit MVP donation cards, whatever would we do without you


Anyway, on topic, maybe in the next week or two they'll have mechanic sprites. I can't wait to see how blatantly flamboyant they made the next generation of blacksmiths look like. I wonder if male smiths will ever get shirts.

[Rytech]

Dont know if I understand all corectly, but I think Knights are a great class for the game to have since their really good for beginners. With many skills haveing no cast times and with some haveing ASPD cooldowns, as well as the skills giveing good useful attack adjusting and other stat adjustments, itl can be a good way to start.

As for the mechanics, im still stomped on how their skills will work, or how the job will work entirely. This week's patch showed SP requirements for the currently known skill tags which gives me hints on the max levels for a good hand full of the skills. However, with none of the skill names saying "I allow you to craft more weapons and guns, as well as build auto attacking turrets", no skill tree in the client, and many currently known skill tags with items saying "This item is needed to use this skill", and perty much most of them showing they will be for mech use because of the items for them being added, its a mystery with this job right now.

My guess is chances are that mechanics wont be released next week, but will for sure be released on the 3-25 update because of they way things look in the client and the info from one of the developer gatherings...

Q. At the offline gathering, it was mentioned a large update was planned for 3/25. Could this be the date for Renewal to hit mains?

A. Indeed a large update is planned. However, we won't be able to release information until the 3/8 gathering. Sorry.

The gathering shold of allready happened on the 8th of march where the info about the update was talked about. Im hopeing I can get some info about that gathering so we can get a hint at whats to come.
