Supports once again destroyed by NCsoft, besides NCsoft does nothing to improve supports, maybe this explains why people don't play with these classes, NCsoft has always been like this, maybe it's because the supports don't make profits for NCsoft , since the players of this type of class are few, but they are few because of NCsoft itself, which never really managed to balance the classes. Because now with Feoh's improvements, Ncsoft goes there and screws with the passive skill also of Sigel, Iss and Healer, a class that does little damage even to a Feoh nowadays, but now they will be a class that in addition to damage low due to NCsoft hating these classes, will now take massively more damage. Congratulations NCsoft, it just goes to show how you guys don't want a balanced game. But I would ask the Koreans a question, after all, the game is developed for them, if they hate the support class and don't invest in making them self-sufficient, as they are making DDs increasingly self-sufficient, why do they still maintains these classes, because they are fearful and do not exclude these 3 classes, although if they are going to do that, they are able to exclude Sigel and Healer, since the Iss at least gives the buff and still has a cure, the Sigel became a class that only serves to stand still provoking the mobs, and the Healer, each time we see little of them. But Feoh players will be happy, because the class has been improved, they wanted absurd improvements to be able to hit more magic crits and now they got it. Then the next update NCsoft will improve another DD even more, as other DDs will be inferior to Feoh and players will complain, as players play more than DDs, they (NCsoft) invest in these classes, so I challenge NCsoft to exclude supports and leave only class DDs, as they only target these classes.

of course the balance in this game aint perfect but saying that supports cant be efficient is not true my friend... healers with the right set up can solo quite easely and get theyr stuff done like any other class....maybe not as much damage then pure DD's but still quite efficiently.

the same statement applies to an ISS. as far as pvp goes of course they dont have as much damage but it can be compensated with utility/healing skills.

that being said is it perfect? hell no its not. are support classes unplayable? they are fully playable. and i will had that a live support that knows his class is an asset in any party.

just my 2 cents

 

[POLONEZ]

yes supports  never get any upgrades so the be able exp solo like everyone else i will be 124  pom iss what is that good for nothing  ok they come out with 120 new zone in  fioren and so on i can port but cant kill 1 mob  nvm 120 i cant kill mob in 115  so forget the dds for once and upgrade  all support s  let us enjoy solos and be selfsuficient  i cant go toi  cant fo athelia  no new instances    its sick how they forget tanks iss and healers 

 

[Sharlanna]

I have a very bad feeling about this update. Upgrade for Feohs... time will tell but I have my doubts. I'm a 121 Archmage with decent mid-grade gear and am hanging on by a thread. i refuse to spend theewuivalent of a 2nd mortgage on L2. There is a disaster brewing ... time to prep guys.

[FlyHunter]

bruhhh, c'mon, with all due respect make a bloody dd on dual and get it done, not quite the issue here. or who's dd have the brain to make a support class ...there is your balance

[JLevers123]

So this update is actually giving iss an extra 30% normal critical damage on DW1+ (something that previously was severely lacking on the DW considering all skill users got a good boost from it) and additionally, the red cat at moderate to high levels is now giving 10% normal hits damage. As far as I'm concerned that's a good chunk of improvement offensively for iss. I'll be full soloing toi8 even easier than I currently do...and when hit 124? Here we go toi9 for some of those insanely priced beads XD

[JLevers123]

(And let's be real--a LOT of people have dw1 these days--even iss)

if a healer shall set up to do more dmg, then it is more usefull to change class to feoh as many healers are already doing. because of killspeed. since its not ment to solo as healer to xp on their own. they are ment to support the party, but people got greedy with xp/loot and want all for themself. to be as fast as possible high level. the same problem appears for iss/tanks and they turn mostly to tyrr, because the same reason. as long the main group of dd's not change their game play , support will die out. for what shall the support build up a dd way, the dd's not building up a support way!

[JonesRider]

This is my last try on L2.

That account is new but I'm a old player l2 fan . I play this game since C1 and this new lineage2 is absolutely no sense. 

My kids keep asking why I have fun to play a game that is fully automatic and my wife ask why I keep expendig that money in that game instead of buy really cool stuff in real life.

And I have no answer but that  I'm a old l2 fun and I have really good moments in the past.

I'm sorry to say but they are showing me that in fact im burning time and money to become like a zombie infront of pc. 2 pc in fact not only one.

i have a few questions for you!

I am also married with kids! So I know what those questions are and where they come from!

what is your goal in L2?
do you open lot boxes?

also what do you mean this "new" lineage 2? c1 was all about crafting 4 or 5 armor pieces, 5 jewels a weapon and getting an SA crystal on it. where is the fun in that? well that was the case until 2011, they just added talisman bracelet, cloaks and shirts.

"what is your goal in L2?"
That`s a very good question.

My real goal is to play L2 with others. That means:

1 - Participate in siege and win or loose only because the winner have better strategy, skills (fingers),  level or quantity. 

2 - Don`t die one shot for any thing with same level (mob or player).  If both have same level, excluding boss,  i don`t expect to get 1 shot. And the answers to dont get 1 shot is always to invest more  and more money on my toon.

3 - Do PvE with a live party without create a CP or wait hours and hours to find a group. And when you find a group would be nice if every one dont go afk with autohunt (exept night xp in open fields). The normal instances should be more dificult and need skills to survive.  Skills NOT gear (money)

4 - Do PvP in fair situation if same level. On C1 you have mostly fair situations and pvp stands longs. Nowadays the only way to have a fair situation is those heros in top clan with all +10 top and a $$$$ worth toon. Maybe for those 20 guys PvP is funny for the rest of 2000 in server is not.

"do you open lot boxes?"
Absolutely not. In real life I don`t go to casino and here is the same situation.
Instead, I expect to farm and/or do clan stuffs to get items, like old times.

The diference between C1 and this "new l2" is that in C1 all the points above was true, I mean, fair pvp, pve ecc ecc and now I don`t.

I can`t  pvp, I auto hunt all the time,  it`s hard to do dailies and even if I expent $100, $200 a month I still far away from top players and I can`t invest more.
So, why I`m playing this game?

I agree with you and trust me when I say we have more in common than you might think. 

BUT!

you cant expect to compete with people that have been playing forever... (ill get back to this reply in a bit, kinda busy atm)

 

[McByczek]

The worst part is that you've been playing this game for years...
You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars...
I make fun of this game, you bark like dogs...
And by the way, it's not your fault...
Who normally spends on the game, when the game gives nothing...
Why pretend to be healthy when skulls are sick...
You pay for it and then cry that games are not fun, buhahha...
In short, it's your fault that the games are not fun ...
They have $ You have QQ...
Balance in nature is...
BUHAHA

[Helmina1]

such a constructive reply right there...  /sarcasm off

you could have been a rapper! 

Lets see how you do in that field, cuz from what you say, it seems to me that you failed in L2.

[menf]

every time, GMs post something incoherent or incomplete, the few ppl that still pop up in forums spam questions and opinions. Every1 gets ignored, and 5 posts later you all decide to fight among each other for 200 posts. How many times has this happened? Haven't you had enough? 

and in the end, you still get 0 comments form GMs on anything...

90% of the first 50% of your wall of text makes no sense, let me elaborate.

Iss now, is the old BD/SWS/DC/OL/PP, tell me when in the history of L2 were supports able to do damage?
BD would medusa, sws silence, prophet mana burn/root, DC/OL could stun and OL also do insane debuffs. on some occasions a bd would pull a bow and the sws a cancel dagger. 

Healers could only windstrike until they got Inquisitor only to use in certain areas.

You know what everone would do? Subclass, which is now called dualclass. pick a class that uses the EXACT SAME gear, and roll with it, have your main join a super strong group and get levels on easy mode and use dualclass to farm adena, you cant have it all in 1 class, if you want to, dont play support. 

You play support because you want to, not to complain about it, additionally ISS has been receiving constant upgrades, smaller amount of buffs, 101 and 110 buffs that help the entire party  ( with the exception of PP), you even get mp back as the party does enough damage, you can debuff, heal and buff, the one class everyone needs, even now that every class has self buffs, you are still essential to the party.

Not sure what level you are or which parts of the map you hang out, but in DT, and in higher level areas you need a support, that needs to do its job which is SUPPORT the party, its in the description!

moving to the 2nd 50% of your wall of text, the fact that a tank stands in the middle is simpe, its ideal for AOE, you have 2 auras you cant be running around however did you miss the last update that tanks received a huge boost? Next update we are getting 2 new classes ( hopefully) so they will be OP, you are right on point but again, even this is our way to have fun, they are a company with a bottom line they need to make money, they do as they see fit.
