Here's some of my parses. I do pretty well i think. There's not many people i lose to DPS wise even when i play Slayer. Not trying to brag just trying to shed light that.. skill is still a very strong factor even with a "weak" class. Yes i know i would have done more dmg if i played FoTM but i choose to play what i enjoy and i get more satisfaction performing well with the class i enjoy.
moongourd.com/results?player=Saabi&server=Mount%20Tyrannas&area=970&boss=3000
sidenote: I am not damage controlling Slayer. The class does indeed need buffs for balance purposes, so does Gunner.
Remember. As with any tier list, this assumes every player on each class is at the same level skill wise, all performing at a high level.
If you're an experienced and overall really strong Slayer. You're not going to lose in DPS to another player using FoTM unless that player is near your skill level.
What is lunar dancer? When is that coming out?
I kinda give up slayer recently but i play tanks instead of FOTM classes because I am sick of lack of tanks.
I played warrior tank before revamp. Now it is so strong I can do much better than tanking as a lancer or brawler
I am glad to see some warrior tank in PuGs doing really well. Unfortunately tanks are still badly demanded. I still see so many LFGs with multiple warriors looking for a tank.
Regardless of patch warrior is the most popular class ever because it just looks so cool like Kirito. This revamp adds more reasons.
Bandwagon warriors, male castanic warriors in partiucular. never bother tanking.
This is why top players don't frequent here. So many people cry but don't know how to play their class. Just creates headaches...
It's hopeless because other classes can easily do 3m. If you are happy with slayer doing a little over 2m, then good for you i guess.
The situation is even more grim when you look at HH, where the next weakest class outdoes slayer by 20%. Archer/warrior effectively does double slayer 's dps. Slayer is royally screwed in there because the crit resist is very high.
I look at your parse in at HH phase 4, your best is 240k. That is lower than an archer in guile can do.
And you talk about top players. 10% deficit is too much handicap for some people. We are talking about 50% deficit here. It is hard to blame bandwagoners because that is exactly what BHS wants them to do.
Dear pro slayer, you admitted that slayer is at bottom tier if all classes are played right and efficiently.
Slayer needs a significant buff right? Slayer is either get ignored or receiving tiny tweaks that only marginally improve the damage output in every patch. Compare to insane 'Thunderbolt' and 'Deadly gamble'.
Dealing 2M DPS isn't surprising. Your teammates are god like too. If UOHS gets 3.25x multiplier slayer is in rampage but it is rare to see.
Not sure what extend the class change 13 improves slayer, we will see.
Sorc gets revamped. Archer gets revamped. Warrior gets revamped. Time to revamp slayer? No. BHS released lunar dancer, another broken DPS class that can literally replace slayer.
That gives a strong impression of slayer being 'hopeless'.
I am actually too tired of crying slayer. I still enjoy outdpsing some archers/warriors/sorcerer bandwagoners by my hopeless slayer in some PuGs that's it.
Also. Lol Harrowhold...
Yes it's at the bottom @mollyya but it's not much weaker than zerk/reaper/ninja, they are actually really close. Which makes me wonder about all this QQ. There will always be a class at the bottom, but its just crazy how many "slayer is [filtered]" memes float around within the community
it is when you consider it compartively to the other dps class or even non dps classes. you cannot sit there and think its ok slayers are ok because they constantly get neglected in balances due to ktera talent syste. all that talk about balancing classes and then balancing talents is pure garbage, they just balance around ktera. with equal skill and equal gear every other dps class will leave a slayer sniffing fumes.
warriors on moongourad have done over 3.5m and they ran double warrior dps only, warrior dps is good but if they ran with a good sorc/archer he could have gotten closer to if not 4m/s. i saw sorcs die 7+ times on nightmare lachelith and still get 2m/s so what are you talking about naturally only 2-3m. just because you only go off of moongourd doesnt mean moongourd is everything. alot of people do really high runs and they just dont export it cuz whats the point? the site is unofficial, its riddled with bugs and now its trying to make money off of people who use it, when it is unofficially using data gathered against the tos of the game.
However I do agree needs buffs, but they are not as bad as you guys claim. If you're not inept at the class, you should pull similar dps to every class minus the big 3.
