What you said makes no sense about barrier considering it has 30k mp and with 16k pdef only we take 20ks from most phy classesThis means my Barrier usually is depleted in 2-3 hits tops. And since I am in UVD I am stuck between barely surviving and dealing no damage at all or dealing big damage but being 2 shotted. As many CC as we have they have just as many antistuns and equal or greater CC's and knockdowns and locksWe have no heals in Ultraviolet Dance if we are a Demon Cleric, which is the intended fairy for DD Cleric since the free matk boost. I don't see the point in making this play style unable to be played considering its meant to be played that way if you choose to not support.DD Cleric has and was always meant to DD the moment UVD was added along with its skillsets. On most other servers they are very strong and viable, but on here due to the amount of pdef they are given and the whole gearswap reliance of this server make them severely disadvantaged with 16k pdef.You have very little options for survival when your barrier is gone in 3 hits and your pdef is 16k, Less then a sage mg with -12 belt.If you are saying offensive cleric is viable even as sage vs any of the following currently popular classes:SinDbSbMgBarbArcherThen you are either out of touch, never played it on here, or are just plain lying.
Gear swapping is locked for most items, so just find an ornament set up that works for youand get a good amount of CT / RPDT on your gear.
Why on earth does proper Demon DD cleric have only 15k pdef fully buffed with endgame gear and perfect rolls?So then consider thisThis would mean taking 10ks-15ks per hit from most people, and 29ks from barbs. Essentially Barrier which we have 30k mp for can be beaten in just 2 shots. How is this acceptable? This is less pdef than a sage wizard using -12 belt.
I believe gear cannot be swapped in UVD anyways.
Correct, but it was made so other classes can't swap their gear in combat either anyway.
I suggest giving clerics a giant mana boost on their blessings so plume shell isn't depleted right away
Come in game on any of those classes and hit away at plume shield for me. What 2-3 hits are you talking about? We have no heals in Ultraviolet Dance if we are a Demon ClericI would like to introduce you to something called "Aurora Blast" and "Aurora Burst". Both heal you and reduce enemy healing by 10k when stacked. I suggest you also look into "Wings of Protection" and "Guardians Light". Gear swapping is locked for most items, so just find an ornament set up that works for youand get a good amount of CT / RPDT on your gear. It can be played and some people still do play it. It just has a bit of a higher skill cap than some classes (not at the higher levels of play, but on average).In some cases some people have had a lot of success with it in things like tournaments or playoffs (even when gear switching was allowed in combat).Feel free to send me your IGN and i'll show you what I mean.
You must be accustomed to full vit ep, because barrier gets depleted in just 2 seconds of being stunned. Infact I cant even tank 1 stun from archers, sins, barbs, Warriors. And if you knew anything about anything if you went anything other then casting and pure magic you'd know your damage would be unable to kill anything besides the occasional unbuffed WR and attack set assassin and archer. I also guarentee you my gear is better then yours. Wings of Protection only absorbs 4k damage tops in any situation, and during a standard fight is a one time use, all of these heals you mention are ineffective in helping something with just 16k pdef survive. You seem to fail to miss the point that at 16k pdef you have to burn through everything you have for enemies who are unsparked or who are barely trying. You seem to not realize the true problem here. I dare you to go full attack even sage and do well and then see how fast you reroll because its obviously trash. I even have 130LP Vit Mag genie to try and combat the extreme lack of PDEF which does no good. I think the best option would be to make demon vanguard spirit self buff only and then instead of 60% make it 120 or 130% equal to the barrier of sage mg as thats what we need the pdef of atleast to be able to barely survive.Is there any other incorrect statements you wanna make about something you more then likely do not play on EPW as its pdef is too shit?Please remember people that we are discussing strictly offensive UVD Attack EP and not support EP here. This build is currently not supported and should be.
It was never meant to effectively DD. This was something added later on to add variety. We have three damage reduction spells, sleep, freeze + SoG. If you turn on plume shell that's an 80% damage reduction. those 15ks become 3ks. You shouldn't be standing still trying to face tank those classes either;use your CC to kite back or set up a kill combo. If you're facing APS, yes the shield will deplete quickly so I recommend you use shackle and turn on guardian's light,so they can kill themselves off with APS. Won't going into a long set of details, point is, with multiple heals (two work in violet dance), the CC and damage reduction,you shouldn't need more pdef. If you're struggling that much, sage is still a viable PvP option, not as strong in damage due to the demon effects,but much tankier if you're having a hard time.
