i'm going to laugh the day they buff slayers and you see everyone rolling one...

Well yeah, that's nothing new. People in this game hypes the bandwagon.

Sorcerer revamp replacing Ninja.

Archer revamp replacing Sorcerer.

Warrior revamp replacing Archer.

New class replacing Warrior.

Then future patches like you said, they will buff Slayer so much so people can reroll to that too.

Then other classes will need buffs to catch up, so people will reroll that too.

Uh oh, looks like Sorc is low tier. Lets buff them up again!

Rinse and Repeat!

Must cost a lot of gold, but then again, they can spend that cash for Pay 2 Convenience. Bluehole making those bandwagon players hungry to spend their money~

tera will die before that

Hope so.
Perhaps Tera will change with time?
*chuckle*

change for the good or the bad ?

Rolling a class doesn't give you higher dps. It's kind of pointless if x class has higher dps potential when you're still better at y class anyways. When Ninja came out I know of many people that switched to it because it was 'op' and they had lower damage than they did on their previous mains, even with the Ninja being geared better. There's also the fact the 'op' damage that those class out put is impossible to achieve in your groups anyways.

It helps a lot to reroll to FOTM, the dps upgrade is much bigger than going for VM or mastering an old weak class!

1 - Tera is not rocket science: It's easy to learn any class, i'd say it's not even that hard to be very good on most new fotm classes;
2 - Don't tell me that "skill>all" on a such imbalanced game as Tera is. The developer ALWAYS design a new class/revamp to deal at least 50~100% more damage that the previous classes, so, dps wise, it's much more "wiser" to master the new op fotm class than to be the best player on a old class and improve the dps by a measly 10%!

When i was playing Tera, i was a good slayer on vm6/vm7 patch and i choose to reroll for sorc on the end of vm7 patch till vm8 patch. On the first week after they revamped sorc, i was doing more dps than my slayer even with wrong rotations. When i mastered the class, before i quit this game, i was dealing double of my slayer's dps! (if we igore gear dif, in practice, it was at least a ~50% gap!)

This game is so fkn imbalanced that imho: "ok'ish" archer/sorc >=good Slayer, Good Archer/Sorc>>>good Slayer...

Tera is currently on FotM mode.

Tera is on FOTM mode since Reaper release.

Slayer's DPS will be relevant if ICB always pops 325% UOHS multiplier. Then, slayer needs more utility buff than damage buff.

Whatever you are on id like some of that too, cause lol that just shows you got no clue whatsoever. I am considered one of the better slayers on my server / and on NA ( dps wise ), and a guile archer / sorc will have almost the same damage as me ( if a person is half decent on the class and does not even put in remotely a lot of effort as I do ). In fact, imperator of the both will have the same damage as me, if not beat me, and ambush will beat me. They dont even have to try hard. And by that they dont have to have nocts, they dont have to iframe everything, [filtered] , they can even die couple of times and still keep that dps up.
Rolling a CLASS will give you a higher dps, period.

Probably should read more than the first few words. Slayer's max damage potential isn't low enough for some bad Archer to beat in damage while being in inferior gear at the same time. Regarding your skill level with Slayer, I would like to point out there are Slayers who have much better performance than you, and being at the "top" of an unpopular class is not an achievement. Other "top" Slayers perform at half the level of the top few Slayers just for some context. Even if Slayer is buffed to be on par with Archer, you would still be behind Archers performing closer to their peek damage.

A class imbalance only matters when you're performing at the max, otherwise you end up with cases where people deal higher dps on Slayer, than they do as a Sorc. This is why I said re-rolling is pointless when you're performing really well as which ever class you play. There's also the fact with all these revamps, buffs, nerfs, being thrown around you're going to be re-rolling often, if you can afford to, go on ahead, but not everyone playing Tera is sitting on enough resources to do that.

Unfortunately yes tera has become like this. Play what you like. Parties with x tanks (brawlers) are not a thing anymore like they maybe wore at brawler release. But yes if ur lucky to apply to lfg same time as an OP class then ur out of luck most likely. If u play with friends then it's not a problem. Ur still better off than zerk for example. Rolling fotm is a thing sadly no matter how many want to deny that. Some dungeons/some bosses favor some classes. If u play just to have the highest damage then roll archer/sorc. Ninja is already in decline slowly. Also keep in mind few scenarios. Playing with LFG isn't same as with friends and isn't same as playing with really skilled PPL.
