Is there an Elf Overhaul coming?
Comments
Did you forget they don't stun? Unless they critical, I acknowledge, but that is literally for .5 seconds. So have fun trying to stunlock reliably like you can do with literally anything else.
Also no, Way of the Gun doesn't count, as it has a Cooldown, I'm talking just in casual play, auto attacks.
And that 0.1 Ranged Attack cooldown doesn't count either.
I know there is the argument of connection being an issue making dual guns more reliable than ranged; but technically, no. It should also make dual guns a living hell to use as well. In fact, I would even argue to say that Ranged Attack is better during lag. As I've played with a disgusting amount of ping, even through denagle. (like 300) So.. I wonder. :thinking:
So it took you a month to actually come up with that reply? As insightful as it is, I like the fact of your username showing more.
Regardless, I've already seen multiple giants that don't use an axe, but use a hammer or sword instead. So thus, there MUST BE a ton of idiots that didn't buy an axe to full swing, so therefore, there will be a lot of giants who don't go through that outrageous trouble. Need I remind you of it again?
Level 200 of any Dexterity Heavy Class
Level 200 Dexterity Heavy Pet and Rank 1 Divine Link
Rank 1 of each Production skill that gives dexterity
and ..
Elves can do this much easier, cap their dexterity without the need of a Divine Link pet.
So why don't they just invest in an extremely high luck pet so that they can just get capped luck as well? Shouldn't be too hard.
But, a lot of giants won't do as I mentioned, so, obviously elves won't too, right?
but hi, i fight necromancers too
Reminder that the NA version of this game just gets regurgitated content, and doesn't make its own.
I still live by this to this day.

Oh how little you seem to know about players that like to plan.
Like myself.
Preparing for Chain Slash as an elf is laughably easy, after all.
Even more so to find things that boost luck on the side.
Maybe not easy to cap at 1500, but getting to 1000 is very possible and more than enough alongside capped dex to make chain slash have absurd damage potential.
The big challenge for reaching the luck cap is finding a pet with high luck stats, something easier said than done.
A lot of pets have similar, or even identical luck stats.
After all those days of extreme glory, they've been abandon. This is what all the envy and hate manifested into. This is the curse of the Elves.
There seems to always be a misconception that elves are bad at everything except archery because they have bad stats, but this is only true for combat and fighter due to lower multipliers in skills such as windmill and chain mastery, and for ninja, because they have a lower str/will cap. Fact of the matter is that elves ARE the best mages because they can reach an INT cap of 1800 with Shine of Eweca, higher than human cap of 1750 or giant cap of 1700. Elves are the SAME gunner and puppeteer when you use cater and divine link. I've disregarded echo stones because all races have the same potential with those.
Elves are the best archers and mages, but the weakest fighters, melee, and ninjas, but really the same in other classes. They have the highest solo clear speed in the game and thus do not really need any buffs. Also now that combo cards come from advancement tests, elves can gain massive multipliers on their magnums much more reasonably now. If you really value some measly stat bonuses from lance talent and skills that are easily nullified by cater and divine link, then maybe you should play a human and see that final hit is really just meh compared to magnum spam. Everyone pretends that elf range has an insane price investment to get into, but totally disregard that humans have to reforge head slot, armor slot, swords, make attack speed set, make piercing lance, etc. to stay relevant late game.
Finally, the best player on Tarlach is an elf, and I'd wager that's the same for other servers.
Edit: Forgot to mention that mage is not irrelevant, blaze is good damage in dungeons including phantasm and ice spear is best clear speed for Alban.
A bhafel huntress set costs more than it takes to gear up a human
attack speed doesn't do anything for final hit or bash, it's only for wotg
lance is prob the cheapest to gear, get the free demonic lance and smack some enchants on it. Shouldn't cost more than a few mil
20 fh dur is like 20m
20 fh cd is like 20m
celtic swords are 10m each
So that's like 60-70m for an endgame human
Meanwhile huntress set is like 80m and good luck getting the rest of the gear (i've never seen any good archery gear for sale)
I have max dex on my elf and i find myself using bash and never magnum since i don't have the gear yet
Good lord. I don't think I've ever had that much gold before.
I think the most I ever had was 25m from the first + second Doki Doki event by selling cateyes. Too bad I spent most of that already.
Right, and what about 56th, 48th, 67th floor enchants for your 2 swords and 1 lance? Attack speed is actually necessary for Brionac shred or Fanatic FH, plus highest dual FH dps is with 1 demonic sword and 1 celtic knight sword because the normal atk speed of demonic sword means attack speed benefits it. What about having to reforge 2 swords and a lance instead of just a bow? What about having to get a tribolt to have consistent ranged DPS? What about having to buy Eweca red ups for all of those weapons for step 7? Maybe Prot stones if you're feeling unlucky?
I guess if we're just price checking "minimalist end game" I can do the same thing for elf.
15m Celtic Xbow, use sharp bolts
30m magnum 20 Bohemian gloves
20m FS CD Bohemian hat
I'd also like to see an "end game" human with just FH reforges and celtic swords solo Alban Heroic within a reasonable time.
..also, this is going to be hypothetical, but if an elf revamp were to happen, I'm somewhat certain we'll also have to deal with getting all of this equipment and reforging done AGAIN for a light armor version of the bohemian set, possibly. I'm not saying it will happen and that this will in any way impact the cost to get into archery (aside from what the armor itself will cost in terms of materials), but that's not gonna be fun for those that already spent two arms and two legs on their current gear, like myself.
At the end of the day, there are still issues with archery that need fixing (especially on the elf side) that don't have anything to do with the cost of getting into it and I'd like to have those fixed...on top of making those 502358258 billion gold enchantments for 100 max damage for accessories earnable ingame instead of gachas, which may play an insane factor for both as well.
Also what? Every time there's a revamp people have to remake gear, just like when human meta changed from lance charge to FH. Everyone deals with it.
Tbh it just sounds like you're not an end game elf if you are struggling to clear as fast as humans. Lag also affects human dps too so if you're laggy it's not like your clear speed will increase exponentially by switching to playing human instead of elf. The fastest runner on Tarlach is an elf, that is fact, it's absurd for you to keep saying that human FH is higher dps by just blaming the game. There are videos of elves hitting shots very consistently, why don't you upload a video of yourself missing with visions active.
I'm not endgame, I can't call myself endgame before I get all of the afforementioned gear, reforges and combo cards. but you're also assuming visions is readily available at all times, while bash and FH in combination actually are. I can't even make full use of the extra aim speed thanks to EU latency, whereas bashing and FH work just fine due to the fact that you just need to keep clicking and there are rather large pauses between each hit, while for mag you gotta really watch out when you click as to not ruin it. Elves standing there going "durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" for half a minute while aiming with ranged attack or support shot doesn't really help, that bug still needs fixing...and finally, that'S all supposing we're only talking about a ranged update. I'd actually like more of a magic update though, as muc has that would force me to completely change my gear all over. Archery was just never my thing, but I was more or less forced into it to perform halfway decently. My fantasy life, right?
Its like 160k damage per second for like two minutes.
okay, didn't know they were that cheap
For alban yeah you're right, you would need some aoe. The boss you can FH
