in General Discussion
Hello, i'm a new user in this forum (finally i can create a thread, been waiting for 3 days)
i have never played this game and i don't intend to
I just wanna ask something

I had an argument with someone about nerfs/buffs/balancing in General in online Games
and he stated that in PW there were never any nerfs
they just kept buffing
Is this true?

If not, can you state some of the major nerfs in PW???
Thank you in advance for all your answers

    The biggest nerfs were related to making tradable items non-tradable.

    The best item set remains the same for 9 years, that is the R9, it was never nerfed or buffed.
    As to class skills / damage, I ddidn't follow the game thought so I don't have an opinion.

    Eh, sins had lower physical attk from cards/star chart etc from the beginning though, its not something they nerfed as it always been like that. Well unless I dont understand the concept of "nerf" correctly.

    Normally PWI dont nerf anything regarding classes no. They usually introduce something new to counter the old if it was too strong. Like all casters have "Purify Spell" on their r9 weapons, which were too strong (purifies you and gives you x seconds of anti stun), so they introduced Paralyze - a superior version of stun that goes through anti stun buff and is unable to be purified.

    They did however nerf some few skills. Increased cooldown of some duskblade skills and such, which were one of the only times we saw nerfs.

    In far the most cases classes/skills get outdated because of a new introduced class/skills/whatever rather than being directly nerfed.

    How silly. A thread created just for the sake of complaining. I assume you are making a statistics chart right op? Surely. The assassin class, In this game it combines Rapid physical attacks with the Dex stat, which increases critical hit chance as well. It's hard to stop and no matter what class you are, your goal should be to Put it down quick. If it's not dead within like the first 3 hits, it's most likely strong enough to Kill you before your 4th.

    The addition to rapid physical attacks, are God a frenzy which is a status effect attached to the weapon that Doubles their damage for each one of the 4-5 attacks they deal out within Each second. In addition to that, The dex stat increases critical hit chance.

    Believe it or not, all of that above isn't really much of a problem. It's the fact that they have So many survival skills to go with it. Which is why i said putting it down quick should be the goal (One shot it if you can). They also have skills to let them survive One shots as well, And just overall built for survival. They've currently have more survival skills than the Barbarian does (this game's Tank class) So cause and effect, Nearly everyone on every server is a Sin main, or have one. The same cant be said for something like, a wizard for example.

    So like the user said before me, One of their survival skills were nerfed a tiny bit. But in the future If they are to nerf the class, I think they should start by looking at all of the defensive skills the sin has. Which might be easier said than done, because a lower lvl sin needs those Op skills to survive pve. But a OP sin using the same OP skills is where the alleged problem lies.

    sin ever got nerfed? ahahahah nice joke
    first it had aps, then it was balanced when meta switched to dph, lasted short, then they buffed dph sin in any way beyond reason with multi hit skills and 400-500% on basically any instacast skill, then it got access to purge and purify\untarget too, then it got paralyze too, then it got undetectable stealth

    tell me another class that has all these features egg-2.gif

    wanna talk about nerfs? let's look at stormbringer glyph skills and see how a joke those are respect any other class glyphed skills​​
