Even Wrote:No you didnt lose all of your utility. Final pact and the ability to heal constantly at bosses with decent attack speed is still there, if you can work on getting more buff duration you can bypass this nerf. I know you need like 120% buff duration (along with merc card at least) and its hard, but its doable without spending nx. 50% legendary line & 2 extra lines of either 20% or 30% and you're there. This will also boost your final pact, so its not like you're gonna lose anything for doing this apart from time.
I wasnt happy with opatz getting 15 sec nerf, which meant I either have to cast it 3 times within 90 sec or get buff duration so I only need to cast it 1-2 times. Dont forget that this also makes AB link last longer aswell, which is really helpful during the time you're in final pact.
that's not utility, that doesn't help the party in any way, me being to revive myself and only myself will not make people bring me to a run. unlike a pally who can still revive others and stuff.
i currently have a 39% legendary inner rank for buff duration, for me to reset it even once i'd need to farm on average. 2000 honor medals.
for one chance.
and if you're telling me not to lock it then i recommend you wait for the system so that you can give it a spin, not locking it is madness. and will just throw to waste the i-forgot-how-goddamn-many circulators i did back when aswan was farmable that it took to get it.
xenons when they came out were extremely overpowered, far more than DrK's or pallies are to heroes, that's for sure. the nerf they got was crippling yes, but they still have the mechanic that allows them to greatly benefit from all stats, and that is even more proof that nexon can't balance for pomegranate, since star force is a system that greatly benefits them yet they didn't receive any kind of change.
AB is total damage now, not a damage multiplier, which makes it pretty lackluster. i forgot my testing of if buff duration affected beginner skills, i should do that again sometime.
either way, i'm passing the torch to mazz if he wants, i had already almost quit so this change won't really affect me. my damage will go to crap but thankfully i don't care much about that. i'll just log in, update my guide and get out.
PD: my xenon to this day still hasn't gotten unique from the honor system, just fyi.
