Blade and soul religion thread.

Okay previously I provided gimmicks and some long gameplay videos to give you an idea. But this time I found this website;
Your bible. WoW clone?

 HAHApineappleOFF

As good as the graphics are, this is where Blade & Soul truly shines. What we thought would be a clunky and infuriating combat system turned out to be the most fun and innovative combat system we have ever seen. After a quick tutorial showing you the ropes so you aren't completely lost, the game thrusts you right into combat against both single targets and groups. How the combat works is when you use an ability to swing your weapon or cast a spell, you must aim said swing or spell in order to hit your target(s). This may sound like a terrible idea, but the way Team Bloodlust has implemented it is basically perfection. Aside from minor latency issues (playing in North America while connected to Korean servers is never lag free) the flow of combat and ease of use is perfect for almost any level of user.

When you kill an enemy without ever giving him a chance to attack you, it's an amazing feeling and sometimes very difficult to pull off. But it's definitely the result of a learning experience. Each enemy in the game has its own unique attacks and animations that you must learn before you can pull off these flawless victories. Have you ever been kited by A.I. before? We have! It was both a frustrating and refreshing experience to know that the enemies actually make intelligent decisions. This game rewards you by learning your class and your opponent instead of just giving you enough extra health and stats to steamroll your enemy.

This combat system is basically the epitome of "easy to learn, difficult to master". We had no problems immediately getting into the thick of things and holding our own so long as we didn't get too over zealous, which is entirely possible in this game.

However, as the days passed, we found ourselves experimenting with different movement strategies to avoid attacks, different ability orders to see how we could best control our opponent, and just trying different play styles, whether it be more offensive or more defensive. As we all continued to improve at how we simply play the game, the results were very impressive. We found ourselves able to take on much stronger opponents and in greater numbers. The power of your character really depends on how you play it and that is something that many players have been looking for for years now. This is not your typical "Press 1, 1 and 2 hotkeys repetitively" MMORPG's.

Not baggin on WoW, it has its merrit but I'm tired of hearing 'lolWoWwithmartialartsfail'

Oh by the way, mages aren't dependent on standing around casting spells, in fact they are the opposite;

 Mages finally got wireless!

The Force Master, oh the Force Master. Finally, a mage class that doesn't require you to be rooted to the floor in order to do anything. The Force Master was a very refreshing experience as you are a mobile caster with impressive control and moderate damage. The Force Master was probably one of the most visually impressive classes to play with having incredible spell effects involving chi, firewalls, fireballs, fire dragons, ice bolts, ice dragons, and some control spells making you feel more like a jedi than a mage. The Force Master is a much needed breath of fresh air to an mmorpg archetype that has suffered from boring and stale class mechanics for years.

Keep the Dojo bookmarked as we will be making dedicated class articles this week! The articles will include everything from skill lists to their specific training system.

 Blademaster PURE FAST NL DPS RIGHT!? HAH pineapple OFF

The Blade Master was an eye opening experience at how tactical Blade & Soul can potentially get. This class was designed around parrying attacks and controlling your opponent. The raw damage numbers was no where near that of the Destroyer, but the level of control and defense that Blade Master possesses makes it an extremely formidable opponent to face with special attacks available after successful parries, leg sweeps to knock your opponent down, kicks, interrupts, area of effect attacks, impales, and so much more. The Blade Master is exactly the class to pick if you're looking for something based around raw tactics rather than brute strength.

 Destroya, slow, and unable to multitask past one enemy QQ, LOL YEAH RIGHT YOU THINK DESTROYA I THINK MEAT GRINDER SPIN THEM RIMS

he Destroyer focuses on taking hits like a boss and delivering massive damage, both single target and area of effect with a few control abilities such as a boot to the head, knocking your target down. The Destroyer has a wide variety of attacks including a shoulder tackle, an area of effect whirlwind style spin, a massive delayed swing, and so forth. What surprised us the most was the effectiveness of the Destroyers area of effect attacks. The Destroyer first appeared to be the typical warrior, lots of hp and single target damage...then you started spinning and spinning and spinning taking on three to five opponents at once while delivering lots of damage. It didn't feel like a typical warrior at all from that point on.

 Kung Fu master, the master of all rape techniques, and when the opponent is pinned, the party can happy join in with this gangbang

The Kung-Fu Master was another very enjoyable unique experienced based around solid hp, solid damage, blocks and grapples. The grapples were especially interesting as you can knock your opponent down in a variety of ways. From there you can get on top of your opponent and choose from a variety of options, ranging from just hitting them while their down, to preforming special maneuvers like a cross-arm bar. Additionally, while you have your opponent on the ground during a take-down maneuver, your party can attack them while they are having their arm broken or face punched in. This makes Kung-Fu Masters particularly useful in group situations. Getting your opponent to the ground and countering his attacks is what the Kung-Fu Master is all about. It actually felt like a martial arts class and not just a brawler or boxer.

Just scroll down and scan the forums. I'm going to try to make a southperry cult out of this game because, I actually enjoy you guys...and I'd rather be it an intelligent community rather than an elitist one :B
