    Oh god, so many people really know nothing about how this **** worked...

    You dont need to understand how to do it to hate it.

    Seriously, if BMs were supposed to have those buffs permanently for Free they would have them and I dont think people would care too much. Blazing Fist anyone? However they DONT have them for free and SHOULDNT be glitching skills to GET it for Free.

    If BMs get CC back, I want it back on my Assassin too. inb4 "OP" if you get a free fire buff, I get free 90% crit.

    OR you could use your brains and petition for something else : a simple buff.

    BMs gaining a 70-100% weapon damage fire buff skill would probably go down well, assuming others got updates too.

    Glitching your skills didnt make you pro, real pros win without it.

    They won't get anything back...

    But if they do, wizzies should get the CC for Sage BIDS too.

    No, you dont.

    Free buffs that are supposed to be a benefit of using a 2 spark move. You dont need to understand how its done or what its used for, its pretty clear its a glitch / oversight.

    How it works or what its benefit is isnt important. Its an exploit / glitch and its gone. It needs to stay gone.

    ^This, is the basic kind of understanding I'm talking about. Yes you do need to understand what effect CCing is used to achieve in order to write an opinion that doesn't sound like it was presented via a monkey slapping his wang on the keyboard.

    Read the post I first quoted and then try to understand what my point was.

    So.... It let you beat people in better gear than you. Well blimy, bring it back! Wouldnt want your cash farming desired class to have to earn some ****ing gear now would we? b:shocked

    You're misunderstanding me, obviously you still had to have good gear in order to compete, this IS end game we're talking about. When I was PvPing on my BM all of my refines were at least +5, a few +6s and a +7 with +10 Deicide. I was going up against people with full +10 in some cases, in normal circumstances I'd have to spark to win which takes far too much chi and if they manage to Expel/Domain/Stun Break or even Fortify so I can't land another stun to keep 'em in place then it pretty much makes me a sitting target unless I wanna waste genie energy on Cloud Eruption, which would leave me without many options if they manage to get away with any of the above options.

    I worked hard to farm gear for my BM, did a bit of merchanting here and there when I had the chance, make whatever sarcastic remark you want but the fact of the matter is cancel casting didn't give BMs a major advantage. Yes, it gave us something unique that was better for us than other classes, since as mentioned before other classes had the ability with certain skills, but it evened the playing field a bit for us. It wasn't something that let a BM with +2 claws bring down someone with full +8 gear, it was something that would let a BM with skill go up against people with better refines/shards/gear and not just get laughed it because they can't kill through a stunlock. It made a skilled BM a force to be reckoned with instead of kill count fodder for anyone with a half decent genie and superior gear.

    By switching weapons or cancelling the "cast" portion of certain skills, you can prevent the skill from completing, meaning it doesnt consume sparks nor hit the enemy with the offensive effect of the skill. However, in order to make the skills have a larger benefit, some skills, most prominently Power Dash / Drakes Breath Bash / Sage BIDS were programmed to apply their buff before completing the skill (during channel, which is cancellable) so they would hit WITH it, resulting in PowerDash hitting with its increased Crit, the "hit" of DBB having the fire damage and Sage BIDS Regularly critting (average of 40% crit or so if it procs).

    People found that once the buff was applied, they could cancel the spell whilst keeping the aplied buff. This means Assassins could save the 2 sparks used on PowerDash and do an insane PD(CCd) - HeadHunt - autorape combo without wasting buff time on chi gain skills, BMS could add fire damage to their attacks and still triple spark / use any other skills requiring large chunks of chi on one run of 399 chi, and Wizards could "bluff" their opponents on rare occasions and turn an incoming BIDS into an high critchanced Sutra Combo.

    Obviously, gaining the some of the additional benefits of these skills at no cost was an oversight, so PW fixed it by changing the buffs to apply upon completion of the Cast of the skill. This slightly nerfed them, PowerDash for example will hit with only your Normal crit rate, but it stopped people from gaining the buffs for nothing.

    Then we had a bunch of BMs come up and cry their soppy little hearts out because they cant beat people better geared than them anymore because they all suck dicks.

    ---

    Can we all have an opinion now? Pwetty please?

    (Entire post was written under the assumption that Sage BIDS also recieved the nerf. If it hasnt, sue me. Either way, its unreliable so its probably changed the lives of less than 1% of active Sage Wizards playing the game.)

    Of course it doesn't, it's freaking easy. But apparently still too hard for probably 90% of the server population. It just makes the game take a bit more skills for good players, since canceling effeciently or double canceling does take some practice. The only people I can see complaining about canceling are either noobs that don't know how to do it or classes that can't make use of it.

    Strange, cos the only people I see complaining about its removal are noobs who used it and cant use it anymore b:chuckle

    Seriously tho, go back to china and tell them you want a fire buff or something.

    This game doesnt use that sort of gameplay, its not a combo-switch+chain based system, its a choose-a-skill-use-a-skill system.

    I mean, look at seekers, theyre as close as theyve gotten to that sort of gameplay, and they are noooowhere near.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    This game takes some skill, its a RARE occasion when it does but it still does. Take a look at PWIC. We went in there with the mindset of how we pvp on this version, we click and face roll most of the time during pvp now days. We got out teamed (mostly fked over due to pve in a pvp tourny) and out skilled.

    The game was designed so that you got the buff as the skill channeled so that it was effective as the skill cast. Don't cast the skill and it doesn't use the effect, sparks, dmg... etc. That is how channel canceling was designed to work. Idiots saw a class gain an advantage and QQ'd "omg its a glitch" when it really wasn't and somehow PWI decided that was the "glitch" to fix when it actually was changing game play and breaking the skill use. The same people who QQ about how BMs are spark spam and talentless are the ones happy that skill combo's that actually required talent and planning are removed.

    I can understand the argument of it being an exploit to not use sparks, but cyclone heal didn't require sparks and it used the mana to channel cancel it. DBB and GS use sparks but we also gave up the damage of actually casting the skill and pay the time to CC it.

    Seriously, if you're going to fix something, fix double casting glitch for zero channeling on mages.

    Sorry for double post but this appeared as I was posting.

    CC is allowed in all other PW versions as its not considered a glitch. One of the reasons we were outdone was because people weren't allowed to practice it in our version and it actually takes skill to time and use.

    my post was nothing to do with CC to be honest. i don't care about CC, bring it back or keep it as it is now it doesn't effect my game play at all. my post was to the random on the other page saying this game takes no skill.

    PWIC showed that Gear doesn't mean everything and that on equal playing fields in comes down to game plan, team work and of course PLAYER SKILL.

    PWIC was hardly a representation of the current day version of PWI. I see your point, but a tournament that included less than 1% of all PWI players really doesn’t prove our version requires skill. In fact, your argument only leads me to the conclusion that OTHER versions of this game (from different countries) requires skill, while ours doesn’t. The proof is in the results.

    If that is not concrete enough of evidence for you, how about your own words:
