Reaper for example, we all play it, we all space-bar the [filtered] outta of it but in the end our dps with those which play a real Realer is hella different.
Val is really great at dps, it's not op as Gunner release which makes me happy. But it is easy to play and easier to master than other melee classes.
I did more tests over the dungeons recently and yeah the dps is really op I still feel like if i were wearing full furious crystals (high dps but below 50% hp) like somebody said above high risk high reward.
Some other ponited out he or she does more damage with slaughter than some valkyries in full guile i totally agree, with that i mean valkyrie isn't that easy as dps if you plan to do the max damage possible cause the spacebar thing imo only work fine on static bosses such as verno dfnm but when it comes to bosses that move a lot and fast like dakuryon or lilith darkahn rmnm frambilisk etc you need other strategies and combos other than hitting spacebar, you gotta chase the boss and the back and skills like maelstrom or shining crescent may fail since some valkyrie skills can be pretty static in movility like you spin or hit in one spot , on the contrary skills like spinning death could make u totally lost it cancel and start over so youd better choose the right timing of every skill or the boss may dodge it causing you cd and affecting your global dps performace.
If i compare it to slayer warrior archer or ninja it'd say valkyrie can be more complicated in pve, the high dps and crits may compensate yes but i feel ninja and slayer and other classes much easier and dinamic when it comes to chase the bosses back and foward while rotating and surviving bosses mechanics
Though we have backstabb I think there's higher risk for many reasons to mess up the combo or that's my impression. So it will take some time for me to really master this class and get the max possible dps i accept the challenge though.
Some other said we see too many white numbers i also agree i dont really like that so i wonder what's the amount of power required where increasing it won't make much difference allowing us to start to build up some crit .
All the main skills ,the important ones crit but i dont know too many white numbers looks just ugly , and yeah ragnarok penalty upon death sucks since isnt as easy to refill as the ninja chi bar but well that gives extra motivation to not make mistakes i suppose, I don't know yet about behemoth ambush or the new upcoming sets how this will be but right now i feel very tied to the heal and it's not really comfortable i never liked to depend that much cause our dps may differ a lot and good to know the perfect evasion thing will be fixed.
So my final review and impressions about valkyrie: Very Op Dps , easy to manage in essence,and not so easy if you plan to get the max benefits of what valkyrie offers. weak HP endurance cit resist by default and high dependant on 2 skills that will decide your whole performance shining crescent and ragnarok where there's no room for mistakes
Now road to ambush thanks all again for sharing your thoughts all of this led me to an obvious conclusion if valkiries suck it's cause they are valkyries fugly castanics its pretty normal and perfectly fine but those amazing op valkyries we may see over the servers are indeed Paporis in disguise, yes Paporis.
