Was about 2 years since I played PWI.. Went to -removed- but playing -also removed- since release, though I thought I'd log into PWI to check out some of the new content.

I'm assuming it's just as imbalanced as it was 2 years ago.. Still wanna check though if 5.0 aps > Caster classes? I know they brought Caster Nirvana a while back.. Hmm.. Just want to see if there has been any major changes that affected the game play and its balance between classes. My main was veno btw, got a cleric, sin and mystic as well. Was thinking to play my veno a bit now and then, maybe mystic depending on what changes they brought to the the classes.

Maybe anyone could post some links to major updates as well?

    Nation WWars(NW - PVP Farming instance, Friday and SUnday 8:20-10:20) is the main farming source now.

    5APS is good for farming PVE but archers and psychichs R9 rule NW, everything is super easy to get now. NW makes everything super cheap.

    We had a HUGE skill change a while ago, some skills boosted, some nerfed.

    You can try NW later, but fyi expect to be spawn killed and 1 shotted no matter what class you are by R9's. There's no protection around spawn points, only a few seconds invincible buff.

    A new pet you could get:

    24-48 hour random spawn time.

    And 100 venos have a new fox form, and a pet rework system will be coming eventually to make pets useful. If you have a phoenix and try to do NW, you'll have to rez it a lot, pets right now don't stand a ghost of a chance in pvp.

    APS is only good for the undergeared or unskilled in most cases as with many new gears and skills, it's either something that gives the target a defensive boost o it simply won't deal any real damage to them.

    We've had a good few content updates, a new area for 95+, new skills, skill rebalances, a PvP based (kinda) farming instance, and so on and so forth.

    Long story short: A LOT has changed in the past two years and if you're interested you should come give things a try.

    What? When I played getting 4-5 aps was something expensive, so I wouldn't call it undergeared.. And it was difficult to get a squad as a caster since most wanted 5aps for quick nirvana runs, etc. Though things might have changed now, so I can't speak for it now.

    We'll I'll have some readings to do to catch up on the new content. :)

    Be careful, a lot of people's gear are god like now, so it'll take you a while to get into the shift of things.

    Nirvana is dead.
    Lunar/Warsong have taken its place as the regular "farming instance(s)"

    When it comes to NW, for example, the typical APS geared players are just targets for everyone else. Nirvana is mostly deserted from this instance as well and it's a playground for ranged players. Warsong, Lunar, Rebirth BHs, and anti-APS bosses in BH100 have also increased the demand for casters.

    Plus Nirvana gear in general is MUCH cheaper now (which is handy considering that Nirvana now has a third stage to it) so gearing up is no longer as tough as it once was.
