Artist will never “fix” the support problem/shortage at late/endgame (the design of the game and supports just aren’t made that way).
There are however, more artists than paladins all the way up to endgame ilvls in KR.
We don’t have the same access to information that they do in KR, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that artist is a very popular support that has passed up paladin even at lategame/endgame.
I like playing support and tank.
Considering the avaliable character in game, I could say that paladin, bard, artist and gunlancer are a must pick.
But I refuse to play a braindead class like paladin, even gunlancer have to do more than pressing two buttons.
(also Chad look of gunlancer is to die for)
Edit: I think I’m the kind of player who represents why there is more artists than paladins, it’s not about the role, it’s about the class as a whole.
This thread aged well. xD
like milk hahaha
there is no dps shortage in eu “who cares vykas btw”
NAE has a large DPS shortage. I haven’t even bothered to run my 2 supports for anything this week after seeing so many groups with 2 supports and no DPS waiting forever.
Also you missed the point. The OC was trying to claim releasing another support class won’t help the support shortage. That made no sense and was so wrong the reverse happened.
Not a DPS shortage.
There’s just 9000 lobbies with two supports in it that are on item level and 3x3 with their gems and relic set looking like Skittles with all these different colors.
It’s not the same thing.
4x4 is free with level 5 cd gems from the hyper express.
Sups only need 3x3 to be highly effective in raids and level 5 cd gems is adequate on all swift sups.
Sounds like cheapo copium.
You ever looked at paladin cooldowns, by the way? You know. The damage buffs? The ones that are important. They increase your party’s damage. They make them hit harder.
The ones that take a long time to come off cooldown, even with max swiftness.
You know, the ones you cast on your party.
You guys do cast them on your party, right? You do cast them, right?
Guys?
You guys support with the support class? /s
You’d be surprised.
Pally only needs like 3 high level CD gems. Given how easy content is right now, you really think that argument holds a cup of water? On no! Not having drops of ether as a 5th and having 10% CD gem vrs 16% gems is going to make or break the raid! Lmaoooo
You’ve seen a pally below Brel? Can’t say I have since Artist release.
Posts that didn’t age well
Looks like someone is huffing the denialite
Those aren’t level 5 gems.
It isn’t an argument.
Paladin cooldowns are extremely high. You said they only need 3x3 to be highly effective. That’s simply not the case with paladins. Just because you have no idea where the ceiling is doesn’t mean it’s close to the floor.
It’s just cheapo copium, man. It’s the same reason people think their level 7 gems are good on their DPS. It’s cheapo copium everywhere.
I was talking about you, you’re huffing denialite.
Uhhh I main 2 pallys and 2 bards all brel hard ready.
Expert, Blessing, and Awakening. Can you tell me how Vital point + drops of ether is anything but a luxury? Wut? You need it to clear G5 brel otherwise wipe or what?
1700 Swift with 35% CD with level 5 gems at 10% CD is more than adequate for BREL NORMAL. You can rotate DPS buff off each other to keep high uptime and time your shield, awakening, and heals by knowing mechs and map awareness.
You think Pallys even have the mana to spam that often? Lmao
