    hhhmmm I think there was DPS meters in 2014, I entered that year and remember seeing a copy & paste of a pile of numbers and percentages in a raid dungeon I did (that one with the huge bug boss, not Wonderholme, some big bug but about same time as WH... name started with R). This could be 2015, but I do remember seeing it. And ye I was quite rock bottom there, not last but well there was healers there too hehe.
    Even then nobody harassed me at least, nice people there, they knew I was a newb with crap gear and took me in anyway.
    Still, it boils down mosty to the new rotation of OP classes instead of anything else and Slayer has just not seen their day yet, I also remember people saying Slayer DPS was top class back then but didn't bother much with it, I just wanted to carry candy in Kumas and make my Elin cute, that when it wasn't just leveling her up

    Nah, the first release of one was in October of 2015. Hence it was around a year after the period we're talking about.

    That class has been garbage for years now but remember back in 2014 when it was the most broken dps class and every slayer main was like "lol i'm 75% of this party's dps" or they ICB backstab you and they're like "lol easy"

    honestly im glad ur class is in the trashcan now and i hope it stays like that 4ever

    Wow, the amount of salt in this post is amazing.

    First, while Slayer was an above average dps for a brief period of time it was only at the level of "new class" broken when you managed to get good ICB RNG. Moreover, since there was no real method of measuring your dps at the time aside from seeing how much you took aggro no one really knows how much better they were from other dps classes.
    Second, if you were getting killed by ICB into a backstab combo then you were a pretty bad player. Slayer's backstab is super predictable and has only ever rooted, meaning that it has been and still is super easy to counter. While Slayers were extremely good in pvp at the time it was solely due to the high base damage on their core skills which quickly ended up being nerfed to the ground.

    TLDR: OP has PTSD from when he used to be a bad player and therefore hates Slayers.

    slayer mains arguing their class was balanced in 2014 and everyone else was just bad

    its almost like we traveled back in time =)

    Where exactly in my post did I say it was balanced? I fully admitted that Slayer dps was above average at the time and was broken when you got ICB RNG.
    In regards to pvp, yes you are bad if you are dying strictly to an ICB>BS combo as it was and is fairly easy to counter. I'm not trying to argue that their overall damage in pvp wasn't insane for the 1-2 months; but rather, that your initial statement about why they were strong in pvp is wrong. As I said in my previous post it was solely because the base damage on their core skills were not scaled properly for pvp.

    @LessThanNone dont waste your time on a hater.

    Haters are gonna hate no matter what, even if their hate is directed at the wrong things you wont be able to make them change their minds because they dont think before talk.

    Slayer was tied with Gunner for a while too (it wasn't a 'brief period'), which is why they both ended up at the far bottom for a while. Every class but those two were buffed repeatedly to be on par with them and later Ninja resulting in both falling behind and receiving buffs.
  • Slayer = the only dps class that i can do good rotation with blind folded. :)

    thats what i was thinking too
    bc i remember just before gunners dropped people were taking multiple slayers to SCHM and DS upper runs.. that was like 2015 ish i think? And they were strong for a long while before that so it wasn't really just a "couple months"

    Compare slayer with gunner it's not a good idea.
    They are not connected and gunner it's not dead there are many around.
    Remember one uses sword other a big gun.
  • In the future, slayer will be revamp, this is a promise from dhrizzit

    but remember " i will " then i wont promise you it be tomorrow

    I dont feel sorry for slayer players. Why? Because there is always that time in tera that a class gets its 5 min spotlight and it rotates. Slayers 5 min will come again. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.
