Yah, I get you. The new tiers of weapons will have their uses as well. Not everything will revolve around the fids. They are just a goal. Like a knight still has a reason to use SoS, Ori dagger... etc... the goal is to have that similarity with other weapons. I am kinda limited by NcSoft.. but yah, i completely get what you mean!

Thebes bow is useless unless you are Earth. Each % of earth resistance denies 1% of damage. Stacking up to full resistance. 2 rings + 1 armor. 0 damage.

Or 2 rings + 1 floating eye meat. 70% dmg reduction. Adding that each 10% mr  on a player reduces 1% flat on proc chance.

Thebes sux.

Should I add that Thebes removes Erase?

So you are forced to gameplay to Earth if you are INT elf PvP wise.

More options would be welcome for INT elves.

Literally wearing +7/8 gear on my lv 77 elf and still venzing "shared" accounts on team fights due team-skill gap. But the point is. I couldn't hit once. Just spam spells...

So, I suggest that a FID int bow weapon is introduced

or

Thebes bow changed so that it does elemental damage based on Enchant Attribute... So it still is a viable option.

 

I quit because: 

- Only way to improve my char was to get into an unending list of players before me for FID mats.

- Siege times 4 am taxed my real life. And 3h camping at Justices for 5 min PvP venz action wasnt worth it my time.

So introducing at least a FID bow INT ay be worth it to come back.

Anyway, this is just a suggestion from a temporary retired player. Good work with the added content anyway.

fid staff better for pve and leveling..

but i think dstaff + stun shield better for pvp.

is it normal?

 

Fid staff gives +3x multiplier for magic damage over demonstaff + int book.. its x4 multiplier over demon staff + stun shield. It's about the impact to magic damage.

One handed fid staff = overpowered too unbalanced

we saw how unbalanced it was on zelgo already lol. Unstunnable target that can do over 1k+ dmg easily lol....

just roughly tested on test server

 

fid staff+ lich robe+ wis pot int40 sp39 destroy damage 420~500

 

dstaff+lichrobe+intshield+wis pot =int39 sp37 destroy

damage 410~490

dstaff+lich+wispot int38 sp37 destroy

damage 400~480

 

target mr 154, no i2h

 

its not 1k damage. here destroy weaker then zelgo.. as far as i remember in zelgo destory hurt like 500~700hp when no i2h on wis knight before fid update

 

??? How is that weak on over 100% mr or non erased?? I never hit more than 450 on zelgo with above 45 + sp and 42 int

i had high enchant lich robe, double Thebes rings, fid staff, Merkcap full buff etc... destroys here literally does equiv to my 45+ sp 42+ int mage on zelgo lol... not to mention my magic bonus/crit bonus from being above lvl 80...

on erase avatar proc my dmg was literally averaging 1.3k with that SP. people here has been proccing and 1 shotting max hp mages here on just erase destroy procs with 10+ sp LESS than what I had on zelgo lol

magic dmg on this server seems to be a lot more than what it was on zelgo; so idk what kind of mage you were playing doing 700 pre erase.. you must have higher sp/int then my mage on zelgo which I doubt lol

20-30 more dmg isn’t bad when you consider it’s not even a proc dmg, it’s literally the extra damage being dealt at above 100% mr, what do you expect a mage with fid to do? 100 more dmg above 100%? That would be unbalancing as fuck. You’re doing 500 dmg pre proc, imagine after erase that’s 1k+ easily and let’s say you get a huge proc , most classes with our hp cap are gonna flop 1 shot a lot easier. Lmao 

Hey thanks for all your work GM's and players testing. Suggestion: Fid sword gets a +dmg bonus buff higher than +20, or a nice proc of some sort too. Or how about it a proc that proc's polymorph? lol.. heh heh heh

 

Edit: Magic dmg does hurt more here. Poor knights :(

knights fids literally out performs most of the new fids still since they are "nerfed"...... plus fid sword gets updates later on in later updated content. it's gonna be too strong if you modify it right now o.o
