quit whinning and play a support yourself, problem solved, topic closed.
I did stuck with my bard main on 1430+ but im not mad at honing, Ican relate to. Many bards who triest to clear some content as bard vern chaos line is not funny untill u Got dps engravings (solo) and waiting for mm aint fun to yeaterday I spent 44minutes and gave up. Clearing storyline on my alts allowed me to rralize i was sooo behind at start of the game cuz poor ability to progres the story line, also paying from l2 interlude on western servers there were allways lack of supports so I do not belive there would be any solution to this situation u less our mentality change
When you have alts, doing yorn, Feiton and punika for the 6-7th time is painful. I am not surprised this has put some people off, especially with the low dps support classes.
Try doing tower as Pala, how much time do you have?
it’s pretty clear ags doesn’t care about the state of the game after releasing 2 dogshit melee class in a row.
This amazes me, I clear it each week on my bard with my normal support engravings.
Might take an extra couple of minutes but it’s really not hard.
Just use your chaos build and it’s done
Im not saying its inposible but doing it on glaiver or berk is so much easier and fun and also its way fastar which allow me to do more things instead of farming it as bard
I think it’d be nice if people would realize that it’s not easy for Roxx to give personalized answers to anything that comes to people’s minds. I see people making threads about things they think, then depending on Roxx to give some type of authoritative answer.
Normally, in a forum without somebody responsible for directly responding to people, users create posts which then gain traction through community participation, and depending on the outcome and reasons the thread was created, it ends up getting replied to eventually when its considered important enough (in most cases).
You guys do not need to be pinging Roxx for these types of things every time you make a post. Simply make a post, players can talk about it, and they will see the discussion as it grows. They are moderating the forum, after all; they have the statistics and activity on each post.
Roxx is here to communicate with the community, but she can’t spend her entire day replying to every single thread created, otherwise she would not have the time to work on the more serious matters from the community’s standpoint and actually get an answer for us, like she has numerous times so far.
Remember: She’s not just answering our posts, she’s also working with Smilegate, she’s gathering information they want public and she’s trying to ascertain as much as she can for the information she provides us. She has a lot to manage.
Well an amazing solution would have been if they implement the 1460 honing success rate support update and then the thousands of support alts sitting on 1370 finally get the greenlight, but of course the management team had to make further discussions about that.
Another couple of weeks for sure as I am not gonna burn my mats on my support alt just because there is a shortage of supports in the game.
You can clearly see how many supports sitting on 1370 as OW hard is basically full of support and struggling to find DPS!
I’m only 1370 as support and 65 gold as f2p but keep rushing content ill be there in 4 months kekw

My paladin is sitting on iLvl 1397 and I just got burned out on the game after not seeing any significant progression for weeks in a row. But if this game is like any other MMO, it’s not so much a lack of supports but rather good supports find static groups to run with. If you’re guild isn’t willing to help supports with lower tier content so they can get to the end game and only expect people who “geared themselves up” then you’re guild is going to have a tough time getting supports to join.
if they bring the honing buff or something to get players into 1415 then we’d probably see a lot more supports, sadly the tediousness, grind, and pain in the ass of doing dailies/solo content is only amplified on support classes and that’s really not something many people want to add to their chore list. i think we’d see a lot more supports if we could just boost one straight to 1415 with minimal effort.
supporting team mates and keeping everyone alive is fun, and i could see a lot of people enjoying that kind of play style, it’s just the task of getting people to that point where they can do raids on supports i think is the issue
Make that 10k a book now for supports. 
Also the new bridge that gives us 2 books will be a struggle on supports at equal ilvl vs dps . I think the Bridge ilvl entry floor 1 is 1325 in kr? Or somthing like that but at floor 25 it’s like 1460+ (For dps) which means support is doomed
Besides that, It also lacks choices. For a support, I can take Bard or Paladin, that’s all.
I have an idea that will solve this problem once and for all.
Give everyone the ability to choose a support class at character creation. This way, the people who want to play support will do it. It’s only fair.
Are we still having this conversation ? Do you know how to solve the support issue? Start one.
Valtan Hard is not hard at all without supports. Vykas will be tho, even in normal mode.
Speak for yourself, my 33332 DPS Paladin build is finally going to be used in proper content.

it’s doable for sure, but 2 paladins with their 30-40% damage buffs in both groups, makes it way easier 
I think a global honing buff would help out. I would like to have my bard on 1430+ but she’s currently stuck on 1370 and all my materials got eaten by my main. 700+ leapstones to get my weapon 2 or 3 steps higher.
No one get to complain unless they actually have a support they are raising as a secondary.
My bard just hit 1430 this week. Too bad I didn’t have time to run Vykas on it.
