Make the old "New and Exiting" again!!!

With the Tideborn Expansion and the new Genesis expansion the drop off of interest in the old classes has made many things difficult or one sided and is apparent by the lack of either Barbs, Clerics, or Mages. I would suggest making some adjustments to these old classes that would make them feel new and exciting again. I have suggested and continue to suggest that you make small sublte differences in the Barb class between Tiger, Wolf, Panda, and Lion that makes each one unique and when they transform into true form that they actually transform into a Tiger, Wolf, Panda or Lion.

By popularity Archers have switched to Fist/Claws to keep up with Damage do to the APS issue. Why not put the bow back in the archers hands and give them a quicker attack with the bow (like a lot of other games do for the archer/ranger class)

Anyhow use your creativity and the great thoughts and suggestions of your players to come up with ways to make the old classes new and exciting to play again please. Its SAD to see Sins Tanking bosses where Barbs used to be a MUST have to accomplish. I hope thats not what the Devs had intended. The lack of power from the barb class is the MAIN reason its not being chosen as a preffered class.

Thanks PWI, I hope you consider some changes to the old classes to make them exciting again.

    I remember when things were new & exciting, but I don't remember things ever being "Exiting". b:question



    Anyway this belongs in the Suggestion box. And barbs will never be anything but white tiger because of Chinese blahblah. Archers can be quick with a bow with -interval gear. If we were too quick people would QQ though, because of our long range, high crit %, high damage AND to top it off, we'd be ninjaing them with how fast we would be. We'd be like long range sins.

    Barbs... no comment.

    lol... a big NO

    At PvP, with their full intervals, they pk any AA class VERY quickly...

    I like the true form idea for venos and barb since female barb or male venos are not goint to be released never.

    Should be nice if do we can get a new dance like the incoming classes have or differents meditations acording with our races.

    Hold the weapons at back.

    Make my demon stone rain a 50% chance to stun.

    I want the full 5 seconds that force of will is supposed to seal for.

    Increase the hp regen on pyroshell

    Increase the mp regen on glacial embrace

    The skill is cause frost blade, perhaps you could make it so it debuffs the attack speed of melee classes, ty.

    Let crown of flame do a small fire amp (omg he is on fire surely it must hurt).

    wait.....ooops wrong section b:shutup

    I like the idea of slightly revamping the original 6 classes.

    I might suggest letting barbs refine their Flesh Ream for starters b:chuckle


    In all seriousness though, this game has changed considerably since it originally came out. Updating the original classes a bit seems fairly appropriate. Balance, however, does not seem to be a priority.


    In the end, I recommend the OP try one of the two new classes this March... or try a new game entirely. These methods will certainly make things "New and Exciting".

    Pretty soon archers will be tanking bosses too, hell, every other class will eventually. I do miss when everyone could depend on the barb to tank and the bm to 2nd tank. b:cry

    Hahaha... I keep having to tank BH51 on my BM because the barbs that are currently playing have no clue what tanking is. I'll DD with axes to let them keep aggro... But, on Wyvern, if they aren't turning the boss to mitigate AOE, I will switch to my refined sharded fists, hit Wind Shield or a similar skill, grab aggro, and tank it anyway.

    My Archer ends up tanking BH59 for giggles, much for the same reason.

    And my Veno ended up soloing BH59, no Herc. Did it during Double Drops. ;)

    btw... There's a 5.0 archer on Sanct with Deicides that tanks 2-3 and 3-x. I think he prefers Nebulous now, since he's got that instead... But I've seen him do it, and solo TT1-3 without a cleric (oneshot off of the first AOE on whatever soulbanisher is called in 1-3 and ragequit).
