You guys keep spamming the same sentence that is an obvious lie!
Most of the classes in wow had tank and/or healer spec available with 1 click, and you had to wait for daily HC 20 minutes if you were in dps spec.
People don’t like to play supports/healers/tanks PERIOD.
And that is not going to change even if SG releases another 50 support classes.
All your guys ideas in 1 word = make a support 
. When clearly people don’t like playing them haha.
What they need is a better design for raids not limiting players to a certain character or new player will get gatekeep or wait 30min-1hr in lobby.
E.g you can play any class on legion raids as long as your ilvl and engraving match for that raid. Thus if you have 3 engraving on the class zerker and you want to switch via system to bard you will also get only 3 engravings.
Obviously the game won’t do that as it wants you to fomo buy character slots than fomo hone with credit card. But this is a suggestion for support shortage which benefit majority player base.
Then stop bitching about long waiting times if you don’t like to play support Cletus. All I was saying is to come together and make the best out of a bad design/curent state of the game even if you like it or not cuz in the end its about realizing that no ammount of threads here asking to change core stuff about the game will change anything as long as KR won’t change first.
Clearly what I said went totally over your smooth head since you’re comparing this game to wow, but I’ve seen you lurking around this forum and argue pointlessly just for the sake of arguing. Wow and La are totally different beasts, nothing to compare. Go play wow if that’s what you seek for.

Nothing to compare, yet every single MMO out there has the same issue regardless the support classes available.
Looks like it’s the first game you ever played.
Also it’s not me bitching about lack of supports, I don’t have that problem. Got plenty both guild and server wise.
K, go make petitions. Go on strike and starve yourself. Boycott SG and threaten them you will hold your breath until something will change……
…. Or you know… do something you can do and control like, I don’t know, play at least 1 supp.
You’re too argumentative to realize that we are on the same boat here I understand your points while clearly you don’t get what I am saying. Doing things change things, talking about them leaves them exactly as they are.
Of course there is always the option to quit the game… crazy right ? I rest my case.
If you know how to change players minds, go ahead. Since it’s not the game issue.
You said we have not enough support classes hence the shortage, I told you about the other game that actually gave people tons of supports and it changed nothing.
People say supports are boring. No arguing here. But it won’t make any difference if AGS makes them more fun to play.
ESO supports heal everybody around you as fixed percent of their damage, so they do literally the same thing as nukers but for much less damage. And guess what, they also have issues with supports.
No matter how you look at it, there’s one thing in common when it comes to support classes - they trade their damage for heal, sustain etc. But people don’t like their DMG numbers reduced.
Nobody found a solution for that yet.
Or they can just add in a feature to all raids where the boss occasionally spits out recovery/shield either per 5 or 10hp bars.
I can just tell you why I’m not playing any of my supports right now. Or the game in general.
- Disconnection issues and lack of proper management by SG/AGS of Lost Ark.
- Less and less effectiveness of the support classes the further you go into T3 content.
- Boring and unrewarding gameplay.
- Need to change to DPS gear and another build to do part of the daily grind.
- Obvious changes to the MPV system last update that doesn’t properly represent good support play.
- The Lost Ark community and how it does not appreciate those players that play a support role in the game.
Just to name a few reasons here. Winter Loa-on focused on improving part of this. But it is way too late and shows how the role has been ignored for far too long.

Forced to play support wont be a good idea. If supporting is not your play style, it would be a mess and will create more toxicity.
If Artist will not save this support shortage, then play all DPS in a RAID.

nothing will fix support shortage unless a support comes out which deals huge numbers which wont happen. But Support shortage doesnt need “fixing” it needs solution which understand they wont fix a problem just make it better.
Will Artist fix support shortage? hell no.
Will it help? Definitely, if you think otherwise you are but a fool.
Now the question is, Will artist help the support problem in brehl hardmode? No because AGS/SG decided to release a class with major content instead of releasing the seperately to help combat the issue.

one more powerpass just for supports pls
Lol that wont happen
Yeah i thought that is a dumb way to release any class to be honest,
How else would they milk all the players that want to main artist?
Now they will need to spend $ to reach brel hm with their Artist.
How dare you say that giving you opportunity to level your artist for 2 months before Raid release, so not needing to spend $ is good idea.
Incentivize Support Characters. Here are some ideas - They may not be great, but they are something.
-
Allow Supports after the 6th Gold Earner to earn gold from raids at a reduced rate… say 50%. Arguably the best idea. For everyone saying “BOTS!!” You can check engravings and stat sheet. Bot supports won’t get anywhere.
-
Power Pass and Express Pass for Support classes ONLY (Bard, Paladin, Artist, Gunlancer). You can go into this one as much as you want.
-
Allow Support classes increased entries to Legion Raids. Reduce the rewards, give it to them, idc. The point is that you increase your Support Player count by X without increasing your support count by X at the same time. To further add, it would mean a Support would be able to do Gate 1 -6 Brelz, and redo the raid with another party for reduced rewards (Maybe not let them buy the box, but give em the horns n stuff.)
- It will only cause much more inflation in the game
- Im support main and i have two bards. I will not do additional one and its like slap in the face(both g5-g6 full tripod lvl5)
- It will cause toxicity toward supports people cause they will have option to do it with other dps but people dont have time to clear g1-g6 2nd time.
People need to have atleast 1 or 2 support in rheir roster.
If you are afraid of inflation, then they could just make it so that if one of your selected gold earning characters is Paladin or Bard, then you can have 7th character that will also earn gold (or if you have 6 DPS, you can still select one Pally/Bard to earn gold). This way it wouldn’t increase gold earned per character and that one extra would still consume gold for honing, quality etc.
Tho personally I do not like the idea of doing 7x raids per week. 6x is already a bit much.
Other games solve this by giving extra rewards for healers/tanks, something like 30-50% more. This would create some inflation, but if it makes people roll more supports I think it is fine.
We need 1 support per 3 dps. We can currently have 6 gold earners, it’s just asking for adding 2 additional gold earners that HAVE to be a support class. Give everyone two additional support class specific character slots and 2 additional support specific gold earners and i guarantee most players, especially f2p ones, will have two supports in the roster. What ilvl they end up being is another matter entirely, but some are bound to creep up to the highest tier content.
Inflation is bound to happen, but earning more gold is the only way i’m making a bard. Nothing will convince me to make a pala.
agree, that gold reward incentive will attract pple to make more supports especially after the first 6, devs could give like maybe 20% or 33% gold reward, i would love that. The game does have a real shortage of support chars and there’s even less good support players.
