DevTalk: Class Rebalancing Post 1.19

[Physic]

Skill Changes -

Light Strike: Defense/EVA up, attack/crit down, lasts 2 minutes (1.5 min cooldown)
Flurry: Defense/EVA down, attack/crit up, lasts 2 minutes (1.5 min cooldown)

This is to incorporate the "stances" idea that they seemed to have abandoned. If you tank, you will use Light Strike, if you DD, you will use Flurry.

by putting tp moves on a long cool down you have probably negated any dps benefit these skills have. Your tp getting moves are huge for dps in terms of extra dmg and tp building, it also allows you to make better use of skills that need specific conditions, like comrade in arms, murderous intent, dicerning eye, etc. Basically you cant increase the cool down of these skills without drastically reducing dps and usability of various skills.

But yeah, most of your post will probably need a rework when you see the new balance stuff. Even though your overall ideas may still hold up, the implementation and critiques could be very different.

You still have pummel.

Edit: I guess I could lower the cooldown on pummel slightly but it's already pretty fast at 30 seconds.

you need all three to use such skills effectively, just light strike alone would be a substantial loss in tp generation, 1/3rd less controllable tp generation.

OK then, I'll put Heavy Strike back in the game, and reduce the cooldown on Pummel to 15 seconds.

Yooooooou.... I mean, SE took it out just because it was too soon? During the beta, Heavy Strike was there and some other abilities and action from other classes. I sure hope they reinstate them at later levels in the future!

I use "Pummel" all the time just because I don't have anything else to do or use (other than (VictimizeFTW"). I mean, pummel give you TP but not by much. It's just a "filler" action to gain TP and do some dmg.

I would rather it be tweeked and given its own animation other than punching oppose to actual pummeling! (am thinking pummeling from FFVI and how one of the agents from the Matrix, 2:30 used it) That's F!!!ken REAL Pummeling! High Fantasy my @$$ v.v get to work SE XD (kidding) =P
