    Slayers rely on talents for skill resets, which are only available on KTera.
    The damage boost from ICB is very random.

    That's about it. Damage output is the most random compared to other classes. They are still fun and viable though.

    ah... i see they're heavily reliant on somethin we still don't have yet eh?

    They are in the game, but are not being used. For reasons unknown, BHS doesn't want to fix them outside KTera. Ninja and other classes suffer the same fate.

    that's... weird why would they cripple some classes like that

    Because BHS is lazy and doesn't want talents outside of KTera.

    Not sure about the actual reason as to why talents aren't anywhere else, it's not something I care too much about (i.e. I stopped playing ninja months ago and I gave up on slayer at level 63) but I'm sure it's plenty annoying for people who main those classes.

    huh... well if it's at least viable that's good enuf for me

    Arsenal Patch has done a lot to help Slayers - I don't know if changes were made to percentage ability to crit or not but the gear power raise has turned me into a death machine. ICB without a Keen Mote on T2 Bams often leads to death before Measured Slice or the following UOHS hits. That's never been the case for me, not even close. With a Keen maybe, not without. I'm critting like crazy at 280 Crit rate - even without a Keen.

    I'm quite casual in Tera. I grind for a little while when gear updates happen and finish mid tier to +12 and move on to another game. I'm a Founder so I've been around a while but Frost Metal is the first 5 - line reroll effect weapon I've had. Having the 7.2% cooldown rate line I've never been able to have and a T3 Energetic Etching on the weapon has had a very noticeable effect on MS being available following Eviscerate. I used to race for either my KB or WW button and hope I could get MS off to get the Glyph damage in time - which really puts you behind the 8-ball for sustaining damage because cooldowns are all staggered.

    Are we certain we didn't receive the 3 second cooldown talents on MS Ktera received a bit ago in this patch? It feels like we did. Maybe it really is my improved cooldown rate.

    Go get your abandoned Slayers geared in Guardian Gear and take a look. You'll be pleasantly surprised. We're not Valkyries but we're not at the very bottom like people are so quick to claim on these boards. I'm not a special Slayer. Above average at best, not Elite and I'm face rolling stuff. elite Slayers must be obliterating the face of Arboria! Even Pit is so easy now and I dreaded it before this update something fierce. I've never killed Gullie in seconds like others classes can - I sure do now. UOHS wrecks that Treants face. It feels really good to be a Slayer right now. :)

    Don't listen to people that say that, they recently buffed Slayer so hard they forced me out of the class completely. It's not the 'Top DPS' but it's a hell of a lot better than people like to believe.
