This Game is LINEAR as HELL

[crimsonlung]

This whole game is linear. It's like Final Fantasy 13, but online.

as a max level DRG I have the following options for my skills:

Marauder
Pugilist

THAT'S IT!? Are you kidding me?

The skills I use don't even chain off the skills for the other jobs, SO WHAT'S THE POINT!?



Featherfoot for my DRG? Yea, that is real usefull in PVE....
Fracture with a potency of 20? I do more damage with my auto attack....

There is nothing useful for a DRG.

Now let's say DRG is just SOL. Lets look at my PLD who gets skills from:

Maurader
Conjurer

Heal spells are WORTHLESS, at lvl 41, I heal myself for 150! Out of 2400 health, I heal myself for 152 health points. And that is if my heal doesn't get interrupted. Foresight is OK, but it doesn't last long and has a long recast. And 20% damage reduction really isn't much. NO OTHER USEFUL SKILLS.

Did you really need to make a second thread with the exact same OP?

That's the trade-off of being a JOB over a CLASS. You're limited in how many cross-class abilities you can use. And of course your healing spells are going to be pathetic as anyone but a healer since you aren't geared for it. That's what you call class balance.

Fracture is one of your more powerful skills by the way. The combined damage of the initial hit and the DoT typically does more damage than any of your other skills.

Yes, because conveniently, there is no general forum...

Did you really need to make that stupid obvious statement?

Foresight isn't 20% damage reduction, it's 20% defense increase, which is very different. (And much worse.)

Ha, I learned this the hard way myself. I could swear at some point it was actual damage reduction (maybe in 1.0?), but when I was using it the other day I didn't feel like I was taking any less damage from Ifrit with or without it so I checked the tooltip and realized it only boosted physical defense.

Wow, that is a hell of a lot worse...

I think I am going to put this game away for right now, I am dead bored with the game after playing it for only a couple weeks.

Just another Linear Asian Grind MMO at the moment and I don't see them making any changes in the near future.

That's the risk you take when you rush to the endgame. You've burnt yourself out on the game. I used to be guilty of this myself...

Please stop posting.... i'm growing dumber by just trying to process the level of stupidity and ignorance your posts bring to this forum. Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just MAYBE they intend to add more skills to slot in later for when the eventual level cap increase comes?

I for one dont want to see this game become another WoW or Aion in regards to having a million different skills to spam and the screen becomes cluttered with skill bars.

You don't really know what linear means, do you?
