Even Wrote:Its actually not as bad as you make it sound like, but yes attack speed will be in IMPOSSIBLE to get without legendary tier.

This is how it will work:

You will have 3 lines with the same rank, at the top it will display which rank you have. You got rare, epic, uniq and legendary. If you have any S rank before the patch, your skills will turn into legendary, which can only change with the cubes in cash shop. While all other circulators will turn into one type. You can use these to raise your rank up to unique, but it can also drop the rank. If you were lucky to get up to unique you'll be stuck with A rank values untill you decide to cube it, thats the only way to get S rank after the patch Im afraid. But with bosses dropping circulators and honor exp thingies dropping outside of Aswan, it wont be that hard to get uniq rank, problem is keeping it.

Curtiss Wrote:That's why I said it's bad. Sure, some people may opt for the cash method but on the whole going for something that's already frustrating on its own and needing to spend cash if your class didn't exist before Unlimited and you want a Legendary tier ability is awful, so much that it would have been a critical factor in my job selection had I been planning to fund any other characters.

Even Wrote:There are other ways to obtain attack speed tho.

There are very few classes who dont reach attack speed cap on their own these days, especially with the weapons gms/ems have.

The only classes that cannot reach speed cap without this ability is:

Adventurer mages (but you can do speed infusion + monster park extreme potion when they fix the attack speed on it. And bishop should be able to cap with the new hyper skill active w/o speed infusion)
2h sword hero, not many go for this as an end game anyway, monster park extreme potion + 1h sword = you do cap attack speed
Marksman & bow master when using non hurricane, again the si + monster park potion can work here
Cannoneer is probably the main job that can take advantage of that attack speed, but Im not sure how good it is for them. Weapon start at slow 8, with decent si, extreme potion & inner ability you can hit attack speed, with 3 coming from your skills already.

What Im trying to say is, there are other ways to obtain the attack speed bonus these days, which makes it less valueable. Yes you might want to avoid dealing with stocking up attack speed potion for bossing, since it does go away when you die, but its still an option as long as you have a few lvl 100 chars on your account.

And I can recall that your chars is the following (or soon to become):

- Phantom
- Dual blader
- Kaiser
- DA
- DS

All these classes can reach attack speed on their own without any decent skill or potion. If anything you should be frustrated over how if you dont have good % crit line for your phantom now, it will be impossible to get anything past 5-8% after unlimited w/o paying cash for it. I dont agree on the change either, but you just have to deal with it, just like we deal with the fact that potential exist in the game and its not going anywhere.

Curtiss Wrote:Well, I plan to deal with it simply by making sure I have good lines before Unlimited rolls around (Currently at level 65 Honour, 35%). You're correct that my main has no need for attack speed and I suspect Xenon hardly needs it either, though that comment was less about my situation and more about the system in general.

Then again, I suppose not maining the post-Unlimited classes means I saved myself a lot of headaches. Now to aim for a good amount of crit and hopefully try to have 90% at least even after the nerf.

Even Wrote:Xenon should benefit from it while using the snipe skill, his attack speed goes to fast 3 without any boost. Means you either need si, inner ability or the potion to reach cap. For a xenons situation you most likely wont need anything but the potion, since you'll hardly die with so much avoid rate.

Curtiss Wrote:I think the potion should be enough in most cases for a Xenon, though then again I simply want to get one to 200 for a good deck effect. Tough luck for the people whose mules are over level 100.

Even Wrote:You only need to be level 40 to do this, so its not hard to make another char just for this purpose, the level 100 factor would only be a bonus for char cards. Like I know a lot of people who quit their mechanic at lvl 100 for one purpose only, the 15% buff duration.

kudos to your patience dear lord, and keep it

Curtiss Wrote:Our Aswan skipped straight to Unlimited so nope, no bonus coins but I'll be logging in with my Phantom later to confirm a few more things. Basic points to note:

- When they say Honour is easily obtained now, they mean it. You get these medals pretty often and get Ability Circulators when you level up your Honour so the best time to put it all together would be level 70.
- Ability circulating sucks just as much as ever.
- Ability circulators cost just 5 Conqueror's Coins. Sounds neat, but...
- The last I heard of, we're restricted to 5 runs per day like the KMS Unlimited version of Aswan. Unless they give more coins now, that's a real genius move right there.
- Lastly, Jean Pierre now sells the Imperial Gear; weapons cost 250 Emperor's Coins IIRC. We can even get Xenon's weapon now if we could afford it.
