Shh, they might hear you.

[Malais]

Personally I hope they nerf the clerics damage dealing into dust. A cleric is all about support, not about soloing!

QFT 100%

That's one of the several things I believe are wrong with the game. See? it is not perfect, and there are things I don't like about the game. Clerics are the jack of all trades, and that's ridiculous. Their damage dealing capacity should be close to 0.
The problem is that in PvP people will start to scream "balance".

[Cocowoushi]

I really don't mind what they do with Clerics so long as they don't nerf our ability to support a group. I'm just still greatly amusing that in Aion Healers are OP'd. Just so random; I guess someone had to do it.

Though Chanter keeps looking better and better if they do intend to make it balanced.

[Kaldur]

I actually think (opposed to a lot of people) that chanters are a great support class. But most people judge a class for their 1 vs 1 capabilities, and Chanter just doesn't have anything in that department.

[Alashka]

Nice Infos and i think its fine that they dont concentrate too much on new Max Level Content right now. For me it wouldnt matter anyways. I just wanna play the game and i will not play like 8 hours a day and be at max level within 3 weeks.
So im fine with it, exploring the world and stuff like that.

The balancing seems to be some kind of major problem indeed. However, the balancing is a matter of time. Of course, Aion cannot be perfect at the Release date. It can be good and thats what im expecting. The balancing, more max level content and stuff like that, will be added later if the games success is fine.

Just to mention World of Warcraft in this relation: It was good when it was released but it was not perfect, it was even worse than Aion is right now. And we all know to what kind of perfectionism WoW developed to within the last 4 years.

It will take time for Aion, as always for a MMO. Its gonna be fine at the release, really lookin forward to that.

Oh yeah let's give them a buff that reduces their range to 10m! No no not enough, give them random damage, they have to do 200-1200 damage at level cap, not 1100-1400 like everything else! Wait, hold on we haven't done enough.. make them the slowest class ingame, it goes against logic but who cares!

Finished product:
10m bow (might as well just use extendable daggers? lol)
A scout that actually sucks at scouting, too slow to do anything
Random damage, looooool. um ya I like doing damage that someone 20 levels below me is capable of doing

you can choose not to use that +20% att pwer stigma. you can live with out it...its your choice. you use that stigma in a given pvp situation...if your smart enough you'll figure out when and how to use it.

how are they slow?? sorcs and SMs have longer caster/attk time if thats wot u mean. random dmg is one of the issues but its not as bad as 200-1200. but rangers certainly are not the slowest.

Yet Another Interview Translation... blah blah blah blah blah...


WE WANT THE ****ING GAME!

czechzombie... chillout dude, and go with your gf or whatever you want too -.-

read the rangers section
they lose to every1 in pvp's. since in big battles u get alone sometimes, its pretty important to have a change against some classes in 1vs1.

but i'll be a ranger anyway

Agreed seeing this site updated on a daily basis is quite refreshing too.
