This leads to an array of really strange advantages, where a low ping player can appear to block attacks while facing away or go through other peoples blocks without having to angle at all. Or another common one is they get stunned and their collision + hitbox end up in a different spot ( Low ping reapers are especially guilty of this due to the speed of their iframe and poor netcode behind pendulum. ). Attacks can land before the animation seems to complete. Certain classes can also iframe and attack at the same time because the iframe isn't over yet on the higher ping players client, allowing the low ping player to dodge->immediately use a skill, and any attempt to disrupt them will "whiff" for about 1/5th a second. And finally you have the BM players who either jump2desync or use macros to force desyncs by overloading their client with input, allowing them to cancel out the collision of anyone with a different connection than them.
People often ask me "Kira u ranked last season why aren't you in a pvp geeld". This is partly why. Tera PvP is for fun and for trolling. It is not to be taken seriously. The netcode for a balanced game simply isn't there. Maybe if BHS cleans Tera up and finally rewrites their godawful knockdown code when Tera comes to console more players can get into serious pvp and maybe we can actually have enough streamers for it to matter.
Or maybe a better game will come out by then and it won't matter anymore LOL.
big difference between being able to execute the easy [filtered] combo and being able to hit someone out of a critical animation while turning quickly like a slayer leap or a reaper pendulum.
lolololololol
1-2 lancers vs 4 reapers 2 brawlers, couple ninjas and priests. Plz you just a tag along with a 1-2m chain leash CD that none takes advantage of unless you are in Discord communicating. Chain leash so many times and no1 focus fires the stunned group in PUGs ever or some1 KD. As a Lancer while it is a good class, you are only as good as your teammates.
Your role is support in your party, but if no one takes advantage of your buffs/ cc/ staggers/ chain leash, your effectiveness in any Mass PVP is like 0/10 and that is the case for most pug qs in CS and FWC.
Just because ppl arent smart enough to make use of the utility that a good Lancer can give; doesnt mean the class isnt strong.
Lancer is one of the best classes in mass PvP for obvious reasons, saying that ppl are dumb and cant use it doesnt make the class any worse.
A "7/10" also doesnt mean a Lancer should be carrying anyone lol , just that its a good class.
Well I disagree.
Lancer is a [filtered] class in Mass PVP
If you make a thread on a public forum that is addressing the public its not wrong to assume that this list should refer to the most common occurrences. This should not reflect premades at all or what you would do individually. There is a reason I'm the only Lancer in the BG or 2/30 Lancers in FWC. In Mass PVP this class is dead for reasons which I'm not going into much detail about.
If you are the least popular class in any Mas PVP BG, but at 1 point the king of 3s, obviously that should tell you something about where this class stands.
Saying it in a simple way, Lancer is strong; but unlike a few other strong classes, Lancer isnt easy to be good at. I've seen only a few Lancers who can actually get the most out of it.
If you want you can disagree, thats up to you, but thats how most ppl see it.
Being a "dead" class doesnt say much btw, Mystic was dead before the changes and the class wasnt bad at all.
