Vinagre 72 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) As sugested 11.2. Preview. Part I, Harad's Shield Now, instead of increasing physical strength, the effect gives a bonus to the character's physical and magical defense in the amount of 4 \ 5 \ 6 \ 7 \ 8% for every 20% of the missing shield strength from the maximum. Why not give resist parameter, instead of defense? Explorer is not a tank, he cant stack parry/block/dodge, like other melees can Switching from the dmg to a Defense % (that is pretty much useless in many situations) is disappointing... Seekers are supposed to be a light armor dps who can actually move in the battlefield, not someone who will be controlled half of the time and maybe survive few more milliseconds because he have a defense bonus shield :D Edited December 15, 2022 by Vinagre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinagre 72 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Take the chief for instance, he can do more explosive damage, have a true reduction of damage, and also a full 100% resist... do not forget he is the only one who can move with 50% speed...

Raislin 337 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I probably would have preferred something else besides defense but there's some potential there with combination of the new talent and some spring books.

I mean if the shield doesn't get 1 tapped it's not "perma" but after 2/3 secs u can re-activate it Still yeah I would have preferred dmg buff, but if they want to destroy seek what can we do xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fynn 129 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 It's literally just a shield without more Def buff, is technically nothing, as useful as a healer with vampirism I would have preferred something else, Rogues think that dodge svcks, ok.. Then rework it, and make it a dodge/parry themed skill also, idk Seeker is the only one without something like that, Bladedancers doesn't use parry skill bcz that resist skill, so, they don't need it, give it to seekers xd SaltyCoffe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinagre 72 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 if you want to increase the survivability of the seeker, give some damage reduction ( just like rugged hide) after the bubble pops out, not bonus defense that wont metters at all cus of diminishing returns SaltyCoffe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield buffs were rare in pve if you ran in a "proper" party, meaning you had a tank pulling agro. And on raid bosses there's like a few places where youd get it occasionally. You will still die to Seekers in pvp as well since now they can just tp pot and run away to stealth and wait out any chief resist skills and kill you with 100% stuns. At least since you talk so similar to cryai I don't really expect anything better from your chief than her rogue either...

Fynn 129 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Ok dmg buff gone, but add anything else dont? Something a little more useful than buff defense, if it is too much to ask Or rework it, I insist... in a dodge/parry themed skill or maybe a dmg reduction % like rugged hide. Literally there are thousands of ideas, the problem is that not being the Russian forum, we are not so relevant, and if they decide to take an idea, is given to the wrong character 😂 There are skills that would work very well in other characters than in the owner himself. Anyway...... I'm fine with removing the dmg buff, but come on... Defense?, literally every 2k defense, feels like it only reduces 1% even less, It is also like a skill that was made for tanks (they would not even use it even if they were allowed xd) 8 hours ago, Alfiansyah Muhammad said: Making the shield explode to deal aoe damage and give debuff for 1.5 sec, explosion damage increases as many enemies hit the shiled.

I always see you and kyrai, complaining about everything the difference is that at least kyrai contributes something, few times but it does. From what I have seen that you comment, you imply that you play chieftain, i also plays chieftain, but I have never see you giving ideas, more than just commenting disagreements in topics "elfs", tell me, are you in automatic mode waiting for some elf to comment? No desire to fight, I know you can comment on whatever you want, I just say 15 hours ago, Vinagre said: the rogue can dodge, seeker cant really, so when you pick a seeker as a target just fully control him till he is dead. In the other hand you can target a rogue and miss your next 3 controls and be dead... Not to mention, the seeker would receive a burst of damage easily, at least the dodge is useful to avoid great damage, a dodged attack means 0 damage easily, without sacrificing anything, instead the seeker sacrifices the shield, to even withstand some damage and be exposed after destroyed, of course, that if you manage to activate it under control skills. That is a point in favor of the dodge, even if it is with a chance it is better than something that will only keep you a few seconds alive, They can even sometimes dodge stun attacks, even better, works as second-hand resi. 😂 I guess rogues don't like dodge for the fact that it occupies important spaces for vampire runes(?

No desire to fight, I know you can comment on whatever you want, I just say I did plenty of suggestion game mechanics, additions, I have been on this forums for years. Tell how many sentinels ask for nerf on legion classes? not many, I assume they don't need to because we can see which side is superior. Trust me, I will keep on disagreeing on what I see absurd. Meanwhile, the reason I am in seeker section most of the time, is because they are the best dps class in this entire game. And I will do my best to bring it to fair terms. Seeker was here for a long time and chieftain a year or so, where do you want me to keep discussing on about? I have don't much to say to chieftain because it still is somewhat new class and has room to be something more. Regardless of your assumptions, I heard seeker is performing well with it's defense buff in beta test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
