    i wish you people would stop QQing about "bleed" because it does what it is supposed to do. damage over time. 9 seconds for 1-2 extra hits. same thing as if you'd been poisoned.

    Way to destroy any credibility that all venomancers have been trying to earn.
    Talk for yourself.

    Look at every other class' bleed skills.
    Tell me if it does no reduced damage in pvp.

    Saitada gives us some good arguments.

    Keep in mind those who have a lot of pvp experience started off as archers because archers are widely regarded as the strongest pvp oriented characters.
    While many argue that if venos were so overpowered, people should all roll venos, that's not necessarily true.

    After all, those with pvp rankings usually earned it far before phoenixes were out.
    Not many are willing to throw away months of hardwork to roll a new class simply because of one little flesh ream.

    Having a phoenix doesn't magically give you 100+ hours to go pking to top ranking.
    Its earned over periods of time. Its not enough proof to say that just because Venos are on the lower count of pvp ranking, to say their flesh ream doesn't give them an advantage.

    People simply prefer to stick with the class they've spent months on.

    This is absolutely true. Phoenixes weren't out until Dec.3. So the rankings Saitada posted, are closest to the truth on Sanctuary, but still not accurate. Once the new servers come online, their rankings will be the most accurate.

    but u all knew that nix/herc will come soon or later on this version... since atleast 75% of players are from other versions ..so why u didnt make veno when u started here cuz u KNEW it will be so superpower class as u all say and
    cuz veno is so easy to lvl and kill all mobs on map.. just make one it shouldnt take much time like 3 weeks or so and ur like lvl70+ as u ppl say and go to solo TT and tel ur opinions...and what comes to bleed..i dunno much abt it but what i know archers/bm's/clerics/barbi's kill veno in 1 sec cuz of wearing arcane armor and nix's bleed wont help..and if u havent noticed that if u are veno and in pk mode on in SP and safe zone ppl can kill ur pet just like that even if ur safe zone :)

    Ah yes, this is true. Most of the players here came from other versions of PW. They were well aware of the phoenix and what it could do.

    like i said a few times in the other thread, i have not noticed bleed/flesh ream to do higher damage than anything else in pvp. so either my phoenix sucks or everybody is over-reacting.

    It doesn't do "higher" damage in pvp.. it does the "same" damage.
    That's why it is overpowered.
    If I could do full damage on you as a mage in pvp, do you think you'd live a simple level 1 pitfall from me? That's 6.4k damage PvE.

    All skills/damage should be reduced by some huge percent% in pvp (or something in those figures).
    Flesh Ream does not.

    Clear?

    Ok fine, when I get my phoenix in a few weeks, I'll test this myself once I get it upto a decent level.

    Consider this.
    1. How many do you know have +12 weapons? What level are they? What level do most venos get phoenixes these days? What's with the huge level difference (exp wise)?
    2. How much does it cost to get +12 weapons? A 4 star refine orb costs 5 gold 60 silver. At base gold prices, 5.6 mil. That's for plus FOUR. If you add 3*, 2* and 1* required to even use the 4* orb, that's 5.6 mil + 2.25 mil + 90k + 20k. 7.9 mil already. Make from +5 to + 12 refine orbs, and tell me the total cost. Seeing as how the price over doubles from orb to orb, it would cost way over 20 mil to get +12.
    Don't even talk about demon venos. We're talking about the game in general, not the people who actually play long enough to get past lvl 89. Many will never even see that level.
    Edit: Oh wait, 5* dragon orb costs 13 gold. Man we're already over 20 mil at 5*s.

    I lawled at your number 2, 5g 60s = 560k, not 5.6mil. Also if you make the orbs with 1star orbs its much cheaper.

    Learn to math.

    Hmm that was a pretty big mistake on my part, I apologize.
    So let's disregard that. Fact is, when are you going to get + 12? Not until 9xes. Venos can get phoenix at any level they want. Plus, the amount of wealth they'll be able to garner from it will probably allow them to have high refined equips by lvl 9x.

    You're an idiot. Every veno in each server doesn't have a phoenix, and there are PLENTY of people below 93 on LC that are Venos, so much for your facts. You take 50 people from each of the 3 servers with a population of god knows how many and use that as an accurate justification of the whole? kkfailmoreplz.

    You forget that heavy foxes waste 120ish stats to equip heavy (which is mainly obtained from gear).
    Light is better, you can put those 120 stats on con instead, and gear adding int dex or str can also be resetted into con.

    Light has massively more hp and thus more overall survival than heavy, and much easier to stat for. Plus, they crit more, meaning more dps.

    first of all, you need to drop the attitude. second, maybe i didnt word it clearly enough... i *DO* notice a reduction with flesh ream in pvp. same reduction i notice with regular hits from the nix. that's what i meant.

    Copied/pasted from another thread, in response to a question of what exactly could be used as items for the other classes to use:

    "Maybe archers could get an endless supply of arrows. Maybe wizards could get a reduction on the MP cost of skills. Maybe barbarians could get a Flesh Ream that deals double damage or double length. Maybe blademasters could an increase in attack rate. I don't know, but there are too many different things to think of that could be implemented in the game, priced at whatever the price of a nix/herc is, and people would buy them. AND venomancers or the Flesh Ream of their phoenixes wouldn't have to be nerfed. Nobody would have much reason to complain anymore.

    But no, apparently I'm just a total moron for even questioning the options venomancers are given. Please, I'm so sorry for trying to find a solution that would please everyone. I truly am an idiot, aren't I."

    I want responses. Feedback. Instead of calling me an idiot (how mature, really), tell me why my idea won't work, and why so many venomancers are against it, when all I'm trying to do is find an idea that would avoid venomancers/phoenixes being nerfed and at the same time stop all the other classes from complaining. I'm trying to HELP.

    Thats the problem Aerilius. Too many people will never stop complaining for 2 reasons.

    1: They are not happy unless they are complaining
    2: They want their class to be the best in the game at everything and will try to get every other class nerfed so this happens.

    I agree..and I get told to stop QQing quite a bit..though I believe my problems have merit rather than screaming "XXXXXX killed me they are overpowered"...My class is losing ground to a veno pet...FAST, and thats a real problem.

    Just what are you trying to help lol? Out of ALL these threads made a few people may agree with you but in every single one, in every single poll, the majority of the people DONT agree with you..So your really not helping the majority of the game..

    And yes after all these posts, all of the same arguements, all of the same ideas, all of the same back and forth.. I have to agree with 1 thing..

    Fine, I will. I didn't know that PWI had no control over what was introduced into the game, content-wise. I thought that the GM's might have had some direct sway over what items, events, etc. go into the game, and that they might notice this thread. I was wrong. What I didn't know was that people would literally start insulting me for trying to be creative.

    By the way:

    And it's only going to let you solo 30 foxes at once if your entire armor set is +12. That's +1200-1700hp per piece of armor, depending what armor it is.

    With a +12 weapon mages archers and wbs will be 2 shotting birds. And one shotting foxes.

    Are you absolutely MAD?! We are not all Deities. Full +12 armor, as stated above, and a +12 weapon, will take approximately 18 GRAND!!! No ordinary person will have the money (or the desire) to spend ANYWHERE near that to simply "own" another person.

    You got some really bad Veno-envy. Either that or your too lazy to make your main better then a veno. Which is entirely doable for anyone that isn't lazy. So you just want to nerf the veno so you have to do less work to be better.

    WRONG! For god's sake, have you read ANYTHING I said?? I do not want to nerf the veno at all, or its pets! Instead, I thought introducing comparable items priced the same as the herc/nix to the other classes might balance things out a bit, and stop the everlasting complaining that you, the venomancers, hate so much.

    Doesn't matter though, everyone was right. Nothing will change.
