Greg Wrote:Are you kidding? Does the time it takes to use Backspin really cripple your DPS that badly? Do you have to have a DPS higher than that of a Hero's to be considered a "good class"? Why can't you just enjoy your Bucc for all of the reasons you started playing it in the first place? I don't think you sat there and thought "HMMM AND IN JANUARY 2010 THEY'LL RELEASE CLASS UPDATES; THEN I WILL BE THE ULTIMATE" when you chose to play one.
You're never going to be more important than a Night Lord, Corsair, or any other hard-hitting ranged class. You'll always be looked at as a buff mule because there will always be one class stronger than you. You'll never be at the top of the DPS chain, or even in the middle. Surprise!
I'm pretty sure you knew all of this from the start.
Being STRONGER than anyone isn't what I want. I want to be on an equal playing field as everyone else. Vipers would be COMPLETELY USELESS if they weren't ever given Wind Booster or Time Leap. Granted that I'm called to Future Toukyou some times to be a KB mule, but every other time, NO ONE EVER accepts me to bossing parties or ever thinks of inviting me because Vipers are just too damn weak. I'm pretty sure even Shadowers out-damage Vipers.
To answer your first question, yes. Using Back Elbow would be horrible for the percent per hour ratio. It would nearly cut our current ratio in half, if not worse, if we used it instead of Screw Punch.
Classes like Vipers and Shadowers are fun to play, but after a while, there's just too much missing... I can't kill fast enough to train with a bishop, which makes the class even worse, because you're training slower than others while you're also completely unecessary for bossing.
You, as a Shadower, should know this. Why are you bashing me for wanting even a slight boost for my class, when you, yourself, have raged about the skill updates not working when they were added the first time around?
