Now That Assassin's Buffed, What Should We Complain About Next?

Now that assassin's gotten the buff everyone's been wanting, what should we complain about next?

Buff warrior, the nerf to it is outrageous, that's 2 WHOLE mana I can use for other things like spamming charge, I demand RESPECT to the warrior class.

Mage needs more healing, it can barely survive and does little to no damage, please buff.

Archer has very low mobility, please buff it so it can have more speed.

Thanks for reading, I hope we can bring justice to the other classes that so desperately deserve it

-

Buff confirmed?

 

ehh.. dunno bout that
we need to complain about how much the economy is broken af.

 

I guess just put more of our attention towards poison, thorns/reflection, rainbow tanks even more than usual even though they'll probably finally be purged in the Christmas update.

I think OP's joking.

 

Archer has enough speed. Mage can survive with its healing. Warrior, however, is beginning to become what assassin was before.

Mage has always been seen as the "OP" class, and archer has its perks as well. However, uppercut is one of warrior's main attack moves, and nerfing it only weakens the base of the class. Now, if you want to use spells such as uppercut, you'll have to devote to a water build with Third Eye and other mana regen gear in order to effectively cast it.

I just feel this way about this nerf, because I think it was unnecessary and only pushed warrior farther back in the lineup. Now, it could possibly be seen as worse than assassin because of this update...

 

I don't think the archer's mobility is a problem because you always have escape spell.

 

Now we complain that Assassin is overpowered and the whole cycle begins anew.

 

I want a 4th level bomb arrow spell: "Tactical Nuke".

Uses all your mana, sets off an escape spell simultaneously, annihilates all mobs, players and drops in a 2 chunk radius and causes your charactee to glow in the dark for the next 20 min.

reminds me of the old days with 2000% multihit dmg you know

 

How overpowered arrow shield is.

 

It really isn't. It's outranged by MULTIHIT, for pete's sake.

 

I remember @Selvut283 saying he wanted to nerf it as well (or was it confirmed? I can't remember)

Anyways, if Warrior and Assassin got balance changes this update, then I'm willing to bet Archer and Mage are going to get balance changes on the Christmas update.

 

He said he wanted to remove the water damage of arrow shield because it because it gave archer the ability to have every element in the game at it's disposal.

 

Its range is actually a bit bigger than the appearance leads you to think of it. Not by much, but enough to be misleading. Still though, you've got a point there.

So, let's go over the pros and cons of Arrow Shield.

Pros:
-250% damage. Equal to Bomb Arrow. Despite the site saying otherwise, its power doesn't decrease to 150% when Arrow Rain is added.
-Deals air and water damage, which allows Archer to inflict all five elements of damage naturally. Mage, the class based around spells, cannot boast this.
-The shield breaking causes a hit in a much wider range than the initial apparent arrow ring, close to a 4-5 block radius rather than the tight 2 block radius the shield appears in.
-Water damage encourages intelligence to alleviate its high mana cost and buff the spell naturally.
-Extremely high knockback. Also inflicts a degree of vertical knockback, allowing for juggling mobs with knockback resistance as that stat only lowers horizontal resistance.
-4 seconds of blindness is inflicted, despite the original advertisement on the site. I've checked this in duels. No other spell blinds for longer than half of this.
-Arrow Rain is very good against groups.

Cons:
-10 mana cost. However, this is negligible dependent on your build, as high intelligence both alleviates this and makes your spell stronger.
-2.5 block range before the shield breaks. Can be considered short.
-Arrow Rain can be stopped by low ceilings.
-Taking damage can break the shield, but this also forces it to activate which can punish opponents.

NOW tell me that Arrow Shield isn't overpowered.

 

Could you make that list again, but this time, show changes of what you're doing to make Arrow Shield not so OP?

 

Arrow rain is negligible in most situations, and unlike bomb arrow this spell isn't ranged, and can't bounce past walls, and the high mana cost is makes it unusable in last ditch efforts, and saying that intelligence help negate that isn't really a point considering intelligence in of itself is rather OP. Also the horizontal knockback isn't that much, and every class gets a ranged spell AND some form of stun to counter the arrow shield, most of them being stronger than arrow shield, which is the archer's stun spell.

 

lets complain about how bad warrior is

 

Everyone's NUMBER ONE opinion was that warrior was balanced
Then they decided to fix that

 

10 -> 8 mana is hardly a damn difference, you can still spam Uppercut at the cost of 3 measly mana if you use shittons of Intelligence, and you could still only do 2 Uppercuts with no Intelligence before the nerf, Warrior has always been a jack-of-all-trades, but it was a little bit above that role. I play nothing but WArrior and the nerf doesn't bug me at all.

 

Actually, not including mana regen, you can only do ONE uppercut with all of your mana. And with mana regen, you could still afford an extra charge before running out of mana, which is an extra 100% damage.
