I think that Nirvy weapon are a waste.

doesnt mean nothing like i said if your gonna make a point about not being able to sell nirvy gear you should make the same comment about the r8 total costs.

anyways fip is just a troll he "quit" the game awhile ago telling everyone everyday to quit the game and yet here he is 100 somehow in just a month or 2. b:bye

Alright, I see it now. Takes me a while when I'm busy fighting a few trolls at the same time while having slept 4 hours and woken up to a re-run of an action-ridden horror nightmare that included people I know and Gregory House from House, M.D.

Indeed, the 72 Gold would be a permanent investment on a farming character. However, that is still a much, much smaller cost than Barrier Thorn: Nirvana. In fact, if you combine the two, you're looking at about 320m coins total. Assuming that you do have the luck of having an Archer or other character to pass the TT99 LA armor and TT99 HA ornaments to, that's still a pretty neat price for a farming character. Especially considering that you could just as well have gotten a Deicide and Nirvana leggings on a BM or Barb and have 5 aps.

Of course, a 4 aps sin has more damage than a 5 aps BM or barb, but if you're going to make a farming alt, might as well make one that gets into every squad and not just some. Though, of course, if you assume Nirvana leggings from the start, then you're comparing 5 aps sin to a 5 aps BM or Barb, which would bring you back to the point of Barrier Thorn: Nirvana and Rank 8 being a rather steep price for a farming character.

you need a base of 3.33 to perma spark. you cant perma spark with a base of 2.86. even if it sparks into 4.00. i know this because im a 2.86 base that sparks into 4.00. its ALMOST perma but not quite.

Well yes, if you have slight lag or ignore to use Inner Harmony once a while, you'll run into issues with keeping it up just with normal attacks.

And that shows you how the game has devolved...people don't realize that sometimes using skills to support your normal attacks is a good idea.

While I agree that gold is extremely high in price, it is set by the players. Yes, the PWE marketing team (again, not the GMs) does have a part in this, what with the endless sales and Rank 9 in the cash shop, but the players choose to spend their hard-earned coin on gold at outrageous prices because they apparently "must have" these items. This causes those who put the gold up at those outrageous prices to feel that they need more and more coin, thus they raise the price. PWE has no direct effect on the gold market, they have an indirect effect. The direct effect is the players who buy out the lower priced gold and resell it at a higher price to make a profit (and I know quite a few of these people personally).

Call it butt-kissing if you will, I am just trying to point out the very large part the greedy populace of PWI plays in the current economy.

Greed or not, if PWI did not have such "intelligent" devs, the greed of the players probably would not have been sparked to this extentb:surrender.

Every Rank 8 weapon cost 72gold which will cost about 90mil coins. a G13 weapon is weaker and cost atleast 200mil coins + tt99 mats. The only weapon your probably thinking that is betterthan rank 8 is the 5aps nirvy dagger. Well its not a big difference and i think the rank 8 dagger is always cheaper. And you can still solo anything with a 3.33aps +10 rank 8 dagger and kill bosses maybe 15 seconds less than a 5aps +10 nirvy dagger. And ofcourse the rank 8 is alot of powerful with the attack max stats +4% crit. and 2sockets. Other than than all other nirvy weapon is weaker. Now if your gonna spend 500m on a g15 nirvy with a good chance at 1socket. Might as well plan for a rank 9 weapon. That is why i think nirvy are now useless and a big waste of money. Or you can spend that 500m to +12 a rank 8 weapon and you can always get the rank 9 ring with 210+attack for like 200m i heard.

1) Nice double post on sin forums and general discussion, where your post is even more non-sence.

2) Not all classes use only 1 weapon 90%+ of the time. Bm's can get only 1 r8 weapon, archers can't get fists, sin can't get bow, etc. Nor do they have all the options as r9.

3) Having a G13/G15 vana weap (for instance magic weap) you share with wizzard, mystic, veno and cleric is cheaper then buying r8 for each of them.

4) G13 (or G15) can have some add you want that r8 (or r9) doesn't have. I'm thinking about the purge add on G13 bow for an archer for tw or -int on daggers.

5) R8 used to be 20times more expensive then g13 vana, not to mention r9 being impossible to get. For those who got vana weap at that time, it will still be cheaper to just stick with vana weapon.

I thought that once you got your General's Badge. R8 gear only costs 1m a piece, that's what I hear. Unless the weapon costs more. b:surrender Which would suck!!!!!

i just think its funny how the only thing people are discussing is daggers nirvana weapons are also good for stage 2 claws which are used by BMs, barbs and archers.

Silly, everyone knows it fish or gtfo.

Ramesha - Heavens Tear wrote: »

i think i do a decent job of keeping up with almost any sin that does not have R9 daggers as a BM but thats just because i was willing to put the effort into my class. b:laugh

I said fish not sin, tbh I've been finding any sin whos not over +10 kind of easy lately. (The new born hyper baby ones anyways) But it's psys that are annoying! Everything I do stuns/seals meeeee b:angry

Ramesha - Heavens Tear wrote: »

have you tried adding will surge to your genie? prevents that nasty seal from soul of silence for a few seconds.

Nopers, I have badge for stuns but my genie doesn't have enough skill slots for a skill just for the nasty psys

I have an FCC genie, a second FCC genie, a TW genie, a grinding genie, a trash genie, and a 'I have no idea what to do with this genie' genie.

Only two of them are going to make it to level 100+, one is gold, the other will go gold at 100 I seriously hope (or I'll stab something).

I think I've put more spirit into these damn genies than skills. >_>

I haven't really run into a Psy that I coudln't kill yet in TW. But... I've been out of TW for ~8 months now, and last Psy I killed was level 80-something.

Psys at that level don't have the soulforce to be as annoying as the later ones.

Edit: wtf invasion of lvl 105 blademasters! x/x

When they want to, they can still cause mass havoc in large pushes... Especially when everyone bunches up and their AOE's can hit everyone in your faction at once. b:sweat

Totally useful and relevant post. Keep it up.

You totally changed my mind. >_> Instead of farming Nirvana, I'm going to go rob a bank, and use the $72 I take to buy R8.

Awesome Article, Son.

Why would a wizard have will surge on their genie lmao... they'd want to save the slots for stuff like badge , fortify, SD, EP, holy path, spark, etc against HA/LA. Wizards fighting psychics or other AA doesn't happen much as a non priority target... R9 archers are usually doing this job. Besides, wizzies with epic DPH skills would be better off with just popping an immunity pot with damage increasing skills like EP/spark with a BT. Will surge costs too much energy and is mainly for DPS weapons, law breaker is better for DPH.

I can recall doing a TW against another lower faction... They didn't have many players, so their Psys cast SoV on their barbs. QQ Was awful.

But yeah, never seen a Wiz try killing a Psy in TW... Except for maybe a rare LA or HA caster. Gone up against some LA Clerics, those are a pain if they are well geared. They don't do a whole lot back sometimes, but they can be hard to kill.

TheDan - Sanctuary wrote: »

I mean unless it's for 1v1, I don't see why you wouldn't fill your genie up with more priority skills rather than put on skills that would be only used in a rare occasion. It's like BMs putting on expel for that rare sin gank, meh. I'd want to keep the slots open for skills I'd use all the time lol.
