KR patch came out just now: 12월 20일(수) 업데이트 내역 안내(내용 수정) which includes more balance re-works that we're likely getting in the West January. They did the same thing last time, where they delayed the balance patch and put everything together.

Summary:

A GT Destroyer fucked someone's mother because holy shit did they nerf it for no reason. Rest is a lot of suspected nerfs (Reapers, Blades) & some much needed buffs (Gunslingers, Sorcs, Aeromancers). I heard someone mention that the patch brings a lot more parity across the board, which I agree with except for Slayers that remain stupid.

Hard mode is incredibly challenging; I would place it higher than HM Brel was at release from a difficulty standpoint. We started at 10AM on Wednesday and took about 4 hours in break total, finishing at 1AM having only gotten to the 60 bar mech in p4 once. We started back up this morning at 10AM and our clear was at about 3PM so our prog time was more than most people play in a given week.

Keep in mind as well that it's a 4 man raid with a huge emphasis on making DPS checks and our party (between me & Quin) are more DPS than 99.9% of players. The raid gets significantly easier as you get elixirs since they increase your DPS so much, which is also why whale groups with +25 weapons are able to clear it. I haven't seen very many at ilvl clears so far and a lot of people had to go do normal instead, which basically removes the DPS check component completely.

When RNG decides to bless you:

5/6 taps successful on my Artist, including 4 in a row.

Run a Kayangel and finally got them:

Feels good.

It's a lot easier when smilegate literally hands everyone the equivalent minimum of a 9/7 stone for free(they handed everyone 5 free legendary elixirs without even having to do the dungeon).

First Co-op gave 45K card xp, SH structure, 30x fireworks
2nd Co-op gave Legendary card pack III, Emoticons, and silver

My card RNG has been terrible for quite some time. I've been needing a fuckton of Kakul, Brel, & Galatur for months. I got trolled pretty hard by the event ones though:

Finally starting to get better at my frog uptime though:

There was also 3/3 counters.

I don't know why anyone would play a DPS other than Slayer atm though. Mine is really gimp (5x3, level 7 gems) and this is what Sonaval looks like daily:

What's your dps normally on Gargadeth? I finally hit 1620 (thanks 4 pities in a row) and I'm going to do HM Ivory Tower this week so I'm wondering whereabouts I should be at.

Congrats on making it! I can't imagine 4 pity's in a row, I would be broken. Major credit for sticking with it and not murdering someone.

Gargadeth is all over the place as group comp plays such a factor. I MM and there's rarely any supports.

RNG God's smiled upon me today and I got a Sidereal Energy. Being rich lasted me about two hours but I used it to get my alts into better shape. My roster now:

1704352470100.png


Scouter, Slinger, Slayer are 5x3 +1 and each have two level 9 gems for primary DPS abilities & about four level 8 gems.

Zerker remains untouched and I'm debating starting to save for Breaker in March.

Dang dude, cutting a 9/7 and getting an esther soul. It's been a crazy couple of months for you.

Yeah, it's been an incredible streak of luck (including finally get wings to drop). Feeling very good about my roster. I have about 3k leaps to get Vold honed to 1630 so I should be able to make Thaemine no problem. Hoping that the luck continues for elixir cutting as well as whatever class I decide to push to replace Berserker.

These were never going to appear though. They've been pretty direct that we were getting balance patch/QOL but nothing to increase honing rate. I personally think the best move for them would be to;

1) Remove all gold honing costs up until 1580 for all characters
2) Remove all gold honing costs up until 1610 for all support characters

but that's a dream that won't happen for quite some time.

Balance patch is pretty huge for a lot of classes, looking forward to seeing some actual competition on parses.

We would be lucky if they did it up to 1540, but Kayangel double drops were at least a possibility. Still might be because they've screwed up before with version control (or at least weren't aware of what was in/out). Akkan double is only going to happen when paired with a clown gold nerf so people are happy that isn't occurring yet, same with masterpiece gold nerf.

It's only 35 and I'm incredibly far from 40 but Elixir luck was amazing today:

Getting my set at 35 is huge for my Soulfist since with my 9/7 I had to go KBW and Adrenaline 2, so this ends up being a crazy DPS upgrade since it also increases the value of KBW DPS wise.
