Hello, my dearest community, It's been a while in our new patch, which brought a couple of changes to many classes whether it was nerfs/boosts/skills added etc. Buuuuut.....there is this one particular class that has increased in popularity since it received a tremendous boost and in the eyes of many ppl, including me, is almost game-breaking (especially in olympiad). Elemental Master A class that has been in top tier of oly farmers since the introduction of olympiad. What the new patch did to this class is basically boost their dmg by 30% , something that was justified as reverting back to how they were supposed to be. By official standards i suppose? Because by official standards, Fear lock is still a thing, while here it was changed (and most of us agreed it was ok). But let me ask you, was that 30% boost of Summoners that necessary? Let's look into it a bit. I'm going to use the skills of Magnus the Unicorn buffed by NPC of olympiad and master's (lv.77) buffs on a lv.80 Shillien Elder with: Weapon with Super Sigel p.def Rune 13 Bw light set +8 Majestic Necklace +5 unsealed / Majestic Earring +5 unsealed / core 3 / orfen 3 / aq 3 Baium Talisman Buffs: Bless Body, Magic Barrier, Shield and rest are irrelevant for this example - - (no Berserker Spirit) Magnus the Unicorn uses on target Whiplash (the stun skill) for 2,512 damage. Then proceeds to cast Tidal Wave for 4,437 damage, essentially 2-shotting a char of close to 6k HP and over 1,1k p.def and around 1k m.def. We can agree that at least one of those skills crit'ed. As a player who is heavily invested in oly, I've been seeing in discord chats/private messages some serious damage texts; ppl that I know their gear, from ponies that I could never justify in the past, yet by current meta are acceptable(?). People who have been playing for years here and see their chars get 2shotted or even 1shotted in cases of 80 lvl summoners are reconsidering their life choices and the result of this fiesta is apparent on hero voice, discord chats, pms, etc. The most frustrating part of it all is that the class does not require some huge gear investment to be effective. So let's raise some questions. Given those pet boosts, is this something we should accept as reasonable? Should the pet stats or Skill Power of pet skills get reduced? Should they all have the chance to crit? Was this change really important for a class that was already one of the top farmers to begin with? Should Aqua Swirl be nerfed? (getting crits of it for 1,4k on top of all that dmg adds extra salt) And last but not least, do we want olympiad to end up a place of carebears playing only ponies?

I think the damage is justified, cuz their main damage comes from pony, not from the summoner, so it wouldn't be elegant to nerf it completely. Where it gets ridiculous: the fact that they can endlessly abuse resummoning (i think it would be fair to make some sort of penalty, longer cd or casting speed on that thing) and spamming stun/tidal/stun/tidal (and if owner has more fingers than you usually expect from the regular pony, it can also nuke you with summoner), so u just get nuked all the time without a break, add a bane and transfer pain and you're basically done. And lets not forget the fact that summoner is the only class that can fight while being on mount, send a pet from a mile away, and if something goes bad they can easily escape, they get no punishment for that. Why can't we use skills/nukes/buffs/ds and other stuff while being on mount as well?

I Just wonna say, thay u Cant suggest only on fraps from off cuz if u doesnt know(but im a player Who played and fight VS this guys) on this fraps u doesnt knows equip and lvl on chars. So, Just wonna say that Spin/iromena/gunsalez/vivid is top pack of CL of RMT and they get on fucking 80rbs unbalanced exp, so, for example, spin was 84lvl,all anothers in his party was 82+ and opposition had only 80(81 in Best case) lvls. U Need to keep it in mind. About equip also, this 4 ponys got full boost and full equip, but opposition in 70% got lower equip. But, yea, pony was OP after they get 77magnus and BE stronger in every patch(when system of elemnts was added in game it was fucking crazy input dmg and u controlled Pet). And also on offi it was a lot of boosters like Pvp Red fruit(that can add 5% to damage in pvp or - 5% of all input damage), fucking unbalanced transforms, dolls, potions and etc, etc, etc. Also it was some 10000% unbalanced passive skills for 80+ lvls, for example if u reach 84 u got +25% in pvp damage!! And if u reach for example 81 it was only +3 or 5%. So,just forgot About offi sh1ts and try to find balance on l2classic.club Ty for attention

Weeeell,i've had a 3k+3k+1.5k from summoner nuke in oly,maybe the damage would be fine if not for the fact,that summoners just take a new magnus out of their asses as soon as you CC one,and hug the beloved pillars.and then there is our beloved transfer pain which basically says "fuck you".
