not to mention that with so many chars 80 lvl, i can name a few counters to random ES's running around But let's stick to the point

You know whats funny? That in the screenshot I posted not a single of those ponies belongs to a top clan. I see macaco boxes and some randoms. Ofc their purpose is to feed, as it always has been. However the reason behind their increase is the real problem. If you see 9 ponies in that screen, it will be 15 in 1 month, because most people are just mentally insecure to play their original class and just want the dopamine effect of an easy win when they suck all their "career" in club. Outside rare encounters with 1 random ES annoying your xp is "more impactful" than olympiad? This just tells me that you see things on a very surface level.

test server is supposed to be a representation of live server, im more worried of how dmg scales there and here by what you showed.

it's not a math quiz to see if numbers add up. It's SHOULD THAT DMG BE ALLOWED goddamit?

I'm sure that even u are not dumb enough to think i would use an overexaggerated story to backup a point. There,i gave u 2 examples other than me, what about them?

@MoDoy you believe that I lie about the dmg above? what exactly? I don't think you do. If my "story" doesnt make sense to you, maybe Semen's 7k does? or natsuyama eating

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?

You give that +7 speed way too much credit. You will not outspeed anything because you are still a human mage. Stick with BW light, if you manage to get +8 set (yes, they exist if you ever get there) you will get some good bonuses, including your beloved speed boost (+4). If you really don't wanna heal your party, you can still kite/root frontliners but purification song will make it mostly a waste of time and MP. That's how the game is right now. For tankiness +4 con +8 wit is acceptable. If you go less wit, your healing capabilities will take a massive hit (casting spd/crits of heal). Which is also why I would pick BW over Doom (ALSO stuns are more common than root/sleep). Bow/Melee setups outside are not even worth discussing, go for 1-handed magic weapon and shield. Cheers.

The fact that you get defensive also makes the suspicions intensify

I swear to god (although atheist), I saw the title and said "finally Semen made QQ thread"!

i never got muted, and im jelly af, look at zp's achievements

incredibly insightful. I would easily vote it "word of the year" for 2020 if corona wasn't so hot

I'm very curious if "macaco" is actually a derogatory term used frequently in Brazil or if we are the ones who came up with it. If it's the later I would feel so proud of us What a great word!

I could see a point to all you said except for this part. A cp is supposed to share chars and if not, at the very least responsibility. If they play together for a week (and I'm being generous), they probably know already if someone bots/loops and should act on it. But randoms or simply ppl who play the game for the 1st time in their life? What are u gonna tell them? Sorry, unlucky?

ok so lets say your friend plebas..i mean bleras decides to lvl up a new toon, so he joins random RB party like he has done in the past, brings krystynka to buff them and someone uses bot. What happens then?

'merica!

Oh man... this was like strict old timers preaching that polygamy is a trick of the devil.

thank you for not allowing ppl to play 2 servers at a time. The ethical value you brought to this topic is on par with our silly flame.

you tell me. He is clapping dem cheeks better?

like how many times are you gonna call your bf to the rescue? indeed the clingiest chick...

premade what? I was asked to log for siege and stayed overtime for SV, even stood up my cp on B/srvr. You should wash your mouth with bleach for actually saying the word "dodge" to me of all ppl.

What do you think I am? 1,5 year PR player? Get educated on what happened last night in SV when my pt came and come again to prove me something on the internet.

Droping when dying is the spice of classic, if you don't like it you know where the door is. Topic overplayed, close and move on?

you only said it about 4 times already, stop leeching attention from my name, solo player. ps. I won every DA/necro/destro/tyrant i found in my path last day, cant ask for more vs opponent who pays relogs/has zerg behind him feeding ps2. Another thing, if i see Darling hero and semen puts [Perks] next to the name, I will feel really disgusted.

This "ban all party" thing has to be re-evaluated. You discourage partying up with randoms, and from a competitive pov this can be good, but ppl play this game for various reasons. Getting randomly banned cuz u joined party matching and u didn't magically "smell" that someone is using 3rd soft, is beyond ridiculous. And keep in mind that some ppl might try to do that intentionally to harm others. Most end-game players either farm alone or with their constant. Especially newcomers will be affected by this, do you really wanna drive them away?
