I didn't realize it was so easy to get people to take you seriously with misleading and inaccurate data. You don't know the skill delays, the equipment isn't balanced out (the Hero has a freaking clean sword), and most importantly, we don't know exactly how all the new skills and formulas work. This isn't even worth using as a preview of the new order of things. Speculative calculations are useless. I dunno if you were around back when Pirates were coming out, but Devil was making calculations to show that Buccaneers would be the strongest class, thanks to underestimating skill delays, massive oversimplification, and poor equipment choices. When they actually came out, we quickly found out that they were actually among the weakest classes. How many people funded the hell out of a Buccaneer and met disappointment? I'm not trying to shut you down because I have my own DPS spreadsheet, and I'm not just being an pimento for no reason. I would rather not have the weather than have the weatherman tell me it's going to be sunny and get hit with a thunderstorm. Wait until the research comes out. Otherwise, you're just going to have dumb complaints about how x class is overpowered or underpowered when in reality they're perfectly balanced.
Amen.
It took me 30 seconds of looking at the Shadower numbers to already tell they are wrong, and I didn't even need to pull out a calculator for it, just rough calculations. If it took me that little time to realize that 1 class is wrong I can't imagine how many other may be too. The issue about how criticals work is a glaring problem too.
