Why all the NV3 bashing from r9 players?
PinkToppings - Heavens Tear
Posts: 29 Arc User
So a couple of weeks ago I made a thread on whether I should get 3rd cast NV or r9 for endgame gear for my psychic and mystic. I eventually chose 3rd cast NV because I saw that the stats were as good as rank 9 first cast and the cost was significantly cheaper than rank 9 alone. I also noticed that NV3 actually has better base defenses than r9-1, although r9-1 has more def lvls.
My dilemma with obtaining this gear is some players still consider NV3 worse than FIRST CAST r9. My psychic friend was trying to join a full WS squad today, but was kicked in favor of a rank 9 psychic who was only first cast. Their HP pools were about the same and both of their weapons were +10 with 2 sapphire gems.
I understand that r9-1 opens the door for 2nd and 3rd cast rank 9, which blows NV3 out the water. Someone in WC even said NV3 gear is "outdated". How is it outdated? Not all players can obtain billions of coins for 1st cast and 2nd cast rank 9. I see that this is mostly coming from rank 9 players. And maybe because they spent hundreds of millions of coins on rank 9, they feel they are elite enough to bash a cheaper set of gear that is as good as theirs? Idk.

Its because your assumptions and comparisons from N3 and R9 are wrong. And most likely because if you're talking about it in game, as you are here - you're coming across as a whiner.
N3 is fine, works well - its not outdated. But even at max stats it's still 10% weaker than R9 on non Proc weapon classes (even further behind on Proc weapon classes). It's still very good for PK/TW/NW, and still way overpowered for PvE.
If someone is kicking an equal refined R9 vs N3 then they're just being elitist, stupid, or coming up with a reason to kick the N3 person because they don't like them, or like the R9 person better due to whatever.pwcalc.com/bb6fc16982637a5c / pwcalc.com/28948ee5778526f50 -
For psychics and assassins, r9 is better offensively, for all old weapons, g16 vana hits harder, and refines better. G16 vana is also better in case of base defense then even r999.
R9 people dont like many g16 vana people because they view g16 vana as a cheap knockoff of their gear, since they spent so much on r9. I almost view every g16 vana weapon i see now as a cheap knockoff of mine because of the ease to get it now since NW, costing merely 50m for 250 raps instead of 450m when i bought mine
Edit: Saw Maelaels post. Completely wrong, do the calculations and you will find all g16 vana weapons hit harder then their equivalent r9 and even r99 counterpart, excluding the daggers and spheres. 10% less damage? absolutely not[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

That's possible. I only heard my friend's side of the story so I don't know if the other psychic could have been a friend.0 -

Is there a thread or link related to this? I don't know where to search.
I am aware that the crit rates are higher for the r9 weapons. For instance, I know a psychic r9 weapon gives at 4% more crit than a g16 weapon with no crit bonuses.0 -
While it's true G16 is around as good as R9 at the same refines, R9 is more expensive.
A player with R9 is seen as more affluent and is assumed to have much higher refines and better overall gear.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

All builds are the base requirements to use an r9 weapon. G16 weapons have less requirement to use. All weapons are +12, no shards. The g16 weapons have no added stats on them, so with luck could become even stronger. No buffs or mastery are used.
I'll admit, i was wrong. G16 daggers hit more then r9 daggers, once refined, but base r9 daggers are stronger, and mystics r9 wand hits more then g16 wand. On all other accounts, g16 is base stronger. G16 also allows for more customization. allowing archers to use xbows or slingshots, and seekers to use dual swords to achieve more damage. In terms of base damage, g16 hits harder, but r9 may be more valuable for melee classes due to the gof, archers do to the spirit blackhole, and in magic classes because of channeling on some weapons.
Also as for yesterdays embarrassment . It is you all who ridicule me with no proof who should be embarrassed. Honestly, if you fail, it doesn't mean others haven't succeeded.

Not EVERYONE feels this way.
I can kill R9 archers 1v1 in NW/TW, all I've got is R8/TT99/Nirvana second cast pants.
Just because someone has R9, in any recast form, with any refines, doesn't mean that they have any clue how to play the character they have.101 Sage Sin*/Archer

Geckofreak - Sanctuary wrote: »Tell me how i was wrong? Who else has done the math?
Anyway....alot of NV3 bashing is likely stemming from the fact that g16 Nirvana is poised to be everywhere. Its widespread availability for very little cost puts so many people in this gear.....who can't afford to refine it. Rank9 - people would more likely assume someone who spent for it, has spent for refines, shards and other gear as well.
I saw an archer with a g16 bow, g15 pants....and tt90/rank6 gear filling in the rest of the spots. People like that are the cause of what you are experiencing.0 -

If I know the name of the R9 person I assume they have good refines.
Otherwise they're all random noobs with +5 gear that I can 1 shot easily.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

There are plenty and I mean plenty of things on these forums that shows in what regards g16 nirv and R9 are good/bad/equal for. I don't need to post any of it (not that I would bother to look for that stuff anyways) because I'm a veteran enough of a player to know these sorts of things. It's not my fault that people like Gecko are clueless to such a high level about these sorts of things. That's all there is to it. If yourself or others don't appreciate my approach then oh well.

Help me here, then. I know too many "veteran" players that know jack nothing about the game's finer points.
But I digress. I do not care which is better, especially since I am PVE. A carebare. Whatever you wish to call a non-PK/PVP person (I dislike the drama, most often, though I am from Dramaweaver).
R9, G16. Your preference. Some people mix and match. Others buy weapons and go for nothing on gear (+10~12 weapon, +0~2 armor).
I have to admit, I am a shameless Devil's Advocate in most cases.
And now, since OP has gotten her answer (hopefully not from me), I am going back to what I was doing. b:surrender

LOL your cashshopping argument is so redundant. You're clueless because you are clueless.
