Status of the server

Probably not worth to come back. The population is on a decline. Really boring dailies. Broken economy, dead useless instances.
If you have been gone for a while to try and "catch up", it will take more time then it is worth to farm your gear, unless you wanna dump cash into the game.
You can use the game for chatting, you might get more out of it that way. Or watch paint dry

Pretty much this.

I need some edits for my faction info Eoria

Not enough ppl on HL for one 80v80 TW even...idk what else to add. Rebirth expansion caused that there are NO new players and old quit, causing server being less and less populated. Unless they merge servers, doubt there will be any competition here anymore.

The class balanced is completely F***ed, a sin hits harder, faster, stronger than a wizzy, the suppossed hardest hitting class in the game (supposedly even mystics are hitting harder than wizzys, refer to XXHotXx's post of the calculations)

Sins are just op atm, but as for wizzies vs. mystics it only seems this way because a mystics hardest hitting damage combo is a lot easier to pull off than a wizzie's. Wizzie does his and he'll get immune'd or shut the hell down first usually. Mystic...well, it's just a lot easier to pull off.

You're still going to rely on wizzies/psys to take down cata barbs unless you have an army of demon venos. Their role hasn't really changed.

Waiting for a certain game based on a certain sci-fi show/movie to come out. Not really terribly optimistic about the server improving at this point.

However that won't be around until later this year, so I'm around to help and PK. (Except with FC, FC sucks)

I agree that sins are way too OP now; not because of new skills (sins are supposed to hit hard and be quick killers), but because of how tanky they are. Perma sage spark while unable to be able to purge or place defense debuffs/amps on them make them fishes being more tanky than any BM/Seeker of same gear setup.

Gonna take this opportunity to cash out an "I told you so" for way back in the day when I said I'd take a tanky sin over a can-one-shot-literally-anything-before-dying sin any day of the week. b:cool Like I said in that one thread, sins aren't OP because of their kill speed or killing ability, but because of how a sin NEEDS to be addressed ASAP or they'll kill their target, but that ability combined with their new tankiness means a sin single-handedly creates a massive roadblock for the entire enemy team OR be given free roam to kill anyone and anything they want.

No, i think I've used spark a grand total of 10 times, and the nerf to Undife is absurd and unwarranted, You barely do 5% more damage on someone with undine, while HF,Amp,Subsea still work the same way.

The strongest non spark debuff only adds around 5% damage now, Im still wondering why Wizies seem to be the only one worried about debuffs

+1.

People don't realize its more than spark. Without doing lots of fancy calculations you can see it yourself in pvp. The problem with the mechanics of undine is that it lowers your BASE elemental defense by 60%, not anything more. Therefore, with the introduction of elemental bonuses that are not tied to your base elemental stat such as the 54% elemental passive, it is done a huge amount of nerfing to the skill. This is because that passive does not affect your base, rather it acts like a permenant buff. That is why I have 14k normal p def and only 24k when i put on earth shield rather than about 30k. It is because my shield thinks i have only about 8k pdef, which i do.

Now for spark combo, its a nice trick, but it can easily be countered with soul of fire or just saving your cc for the right time. However the mechanics behind it are special only because you are reducing someone's fire defense along with undine over 100%, this use to bring fire to about 0. However the mechanics now you will barely see their fire def lower much. Their base will still be wiped out, however their 54% will still remain, along with anybuffs they have. Say i can reduce your fire def by about 110% and you have 8k base elemental fire. that means in this meta you actually have about 20k fire def because of primal passive and cleric buff. that means when i still use spark combo, you will have about 10.5k fire def left over, which truthfully is still a high percentage and makes the skill not that strong.
