Reaction to the BETA Testers?

[Shilenne]

I think they're just balancing out everything else before they change the buffs that a chanter have. It's probably smarter that way, developers can see what's going on in the higher level (PVP and PVE), what are good buffs to have for those in counters, what will be too OP. That way at least they won't be just giving a skill blindly that'll be either underbuffed or overbuffed for the game as a whole. That's why it's always hardest to balance a buffing class . If they were to buff chanter now, then realize later it's way too OP and makes every encounter way too easy, it'll be harder for them to nerf them (can you say more QQ on the boards?). I wouldn't get so negative over it already yet, seems like they're really putting in a lot of effort to try to make thise game the best (seeing what they have to compete with out there).

No, I highly doubt that. Since there are still so many other aspects to test out, I would have to say from my personal point of view I don't think Aion would go into release anytime soon. Just to make sure everything's right. At the latest I'd think they'd fix it after the last closed beta or in the open beta.

I was hoping they had a haste buff like prophets had in L2.

This made them pretty decent at melee but still not as great as a glad, or blade dancer.
Do they buff sequentially or party style?

I doubt we have anything to worry about, it will be months before we even get to see the game ourselves and by then if NCSoft hasn't listened to their Testers then I'm more worried about Aion itself and not just the Chanter class.

my client is 10%, its slow but in a few days at most. Ill have a play with chanter. Its the class I wanna play so ill give my opinion when times comes to those who will listen.

[Fleiva]

Do you have an account Azza? O.o

[Haze GB]

How did you manage to get into beta >.> I'm from the same country as you..

[Azza]

I was passed one by a friend, she gave up with the slow/unreliable patching.

im on 18% and it seems to be stuck on a file, i guess i need to be patient with this could take a week at this rate. How long is left in cbt2?

[Fleiva]

2 weeks left, why the hell Im never the lucky one :/ my friends must suck if none of them had an Aion account to pass me

lol D:

I dont have a doubt tht NCSoft will fix this issue. Chanters remind me of BRD in FFXI. Their main purpose should be the best buffer and a decent debuffer. Sometimes you have to sacrifice some things. Such as I wouldn't be surprised if Chanters have a much harder chance to kill someone 1v1 PVP. But if you are doing mass PVP, having a chanter in your group might mean a win.

[Azza]

Agreed, you cant have everything. You are either one of the best pvp classes or you play for a team. Some have to sacrifice themselves to get a group places. I don't think it will be that bad though, debuffing is fun

[Haze GB]

I was really interested in a jack of all trades class though.. Would you guys say that sounds more like Spiritmaster, currently?

[Azza]

Well having the elements helps alot xD

[Haze GB]

I meant as in able to heal, deal damage and do small buffs atleast. Like master of none, skilled at all. I thought it may be Chanter, but I think I was mistaken.

[aliner]

In relation to the 'Cleric or Chanter' poll, the popularity of the Chanter does make me wonder if optimism and hope aren't rulling the game at the moment[...] Nevertheless, as I said before: I suppose we will find out, and if Chanter does remain quite nerfed then we'll see who has the heart to play it (and the kevlar for eggs thrown). :P

[Rathi04]

Even after reading the info on chanters I think I'm gonna stick with them for a while. Its hard to say how a class is at such a low level and I'll make the most of it no matter the situation.
