Hey, what’s your thoughts about classes/engravings/builds etc. diversity? I see that every class has 2 class engravings, but usually just one is efficient, and everyone use cursed doll, grudge, keen blunt weapon and maybe 3-5 more engravings. That’s not diversity at all. Not to mention, classes itself are similar, especially martial artists (and they are less popular than other classes, so why are there the most?). The same goes with skills and tripods, weapons and armors. People will get bored more likely, especially when game is designed to play for years.
Do note that there’s a good deal of players that are just try hards, following guides to play and rush to 1300+ for no apparent reason or gains other than false feelings of accomplishment
Thats because some class engraves works a way better or slighty better and people always aim for the most efficient way.
About engraves, the same. Cursed doll, Keen blunt weapon and Grudge are BIS engraves fors DPS because grants a huge amount of dmg, but these engraves are good for players that know what they are doing thats why are considered engraves for endgame contents (If you’re a noob and you use these engraves, probably gonna die or won’t do those promised big numbers)
Other DPS engraves are Adrenaline (probably BIS for classes with low CD skills), Supercharge, All-out attack, Hit master (When your class doesnt rely on backattacks), Siege captain, Spirit absorption…
All the engraves that boosts dmg, crit or some positional dmg gonna be used.
For supports, Expert and Awakening are the most used engraves, but you have other choices that can help you.
Why you want a engrave that reduces your MP for example or a engrave that buffs dmg vs trash mobs
Increase DMG > increase your survivability (For this, supports exists)
Also big class imbalance problems… Most of the martial arts classes (especially the poor Scrapper) are hugely outclassed by Sorceress and Berserker to the point it’s almost a meme.
Yeah, any class is viable at (top T3 end game) is the mantra but when class balance arrises but that’s not comforting when the road to end game your character hits like a wet noodle.
Sorry, just a little bitter that I wasted my plat skin on my Scrapper when should have been used on a more useful class.
