Original classes feel underpowered

    Well I go by my experience... and I see a healthy mix of every class now. I play with very good archers, lancers and sorcerers for instance, so I don't feel like the classes are underpowered.

    Slayer is still near the top (competitive with gunner and reaper). It's just every other old DPS class that sucks right now, and brawler/ninja are still too OP. They'll be nerfed, but I expect more nerfs to follow in the coming months while they buff other classes.

    Not even close to the top 2 Ninjas=3 Slayers the gap is insane

    Notice that I didn't even say they were comparable to ninja or brawler. I said they were comparable to gunner and reaper. Which they are.

    When making any statement that a class is near the top just to state compared to classes that aren't, just why?

    Ford Focus is near the top race cars ( Compared to Honda Civic and Toyota Prius).

    Dam wise Classes that do more are Ninja>Brawler>All the rest that people play because they enjoy their play style and not to do the most damage

    To actually balance this game, brawlers need at least a 30% nerf in ALL their damage output becauseoftank and because is easy to use. Gunners need at least a 20% to 25% overall reduction. Ninjas need at least a 40% damage output nerf because it is stupid easy to use. Cloth class without death prevention and no inherent spacebar hero shenanigans? No problem, you can't touch me at all while I'm cutting you to pieces. Ninja is the biggest troll class BHS has ever released. I know because I main one for pve. :3

    I remember the days of Virtua Fighter, where complicated characters like Akira rewarded players who worked to learn them with top of the charts damage. While easier characters capped at their damage output earlier. Then again, VF is a bad example because pretty much everything about that game was hard. :p

    By this premise, sorcs and warriors should have the top dps in the game, and the easiest to play classes would have the worst dps. But in this casual player world that stuff doesn't sell anymore.

    Yeah, the newer classes remain easier to play and reward you with less effort and overall can have higher performance, but that's not what everybody finds fun or satisfying.

    that's not true, at least 80% of the community has made a ninja be it alt or not and probably enjoyed it someway.

    Where are you getting 80% enjoyment rate from though? I still see plenty of people not playing Ninja at endgame, including SSHM, and playing the older classes.

    yes older class like ninja, reaper, brawler for tank, priest or mystic, because new healer doesnt exist yet and gunner :3

    They are, yes, because they are vanilla... the new classes are normally bound to be more powerful than older ones to atract new people into the game.

    Hi, im a +15 lancer and today i got rejected in a lfg for ssnm, i guess because im a lancer, because they got a brawler on +12 with bad rolls, but i guess its still brawler > lancer

    Sigh

    Discrimination is real.
  • EarEar ✭✭
    It's really sad because that's how marketing system works nowadays in TERA. Every new class they'll release will eventually be overpowered and at high tier in terms of DPS. Even let's say the new upcoming class (If not a healer) was out, it would be at the top of the food chain. New classes + female gender = attract more players which will lead into buying more cosmetic products for them and $$$$$$ for BlueHole Studio. In before the new upcoming class is another female gender locked or why not another Elin, because 3rd time's the charm, right guys? :anguished:

    Seriously???? great:pleased: Just hope the next class isn't female-only.

    Then you won't be on the ride for long, :confounded: next class has already been slightly confirmed to be Female-locked and a non-healer class. But if old classes get heavily revamped like BHS say, then at least all those classes will not be gender-locked.
