The only reason I'm against adding more attack/def levels is that r8 is sufficient enough.Case in point:With this pataka, I have 71 attack levels. A lot of phys classes that aren't in r8 take 8-10k+ hits on a good day.Given that a venomancer is one of the weakest magic classes in the game, adding attack level shards, well, I'd be sitting with about 100+. Wouldn't feel very balanced at that point.
so...u use ure r8 weapon to demonstrate why this shouldnt be done when the person specified that the point would be to make dragon gear viable again against people that have rediculously high attack lvls or def lvls suchs as ureself due to r8... interesting..
But this is where my argument stands, we already have runes available that add about +6 attk/def levels to your weapon, so I see no real reason to add any attack/def level stones.
Adding to weapons only was purely for my example only. I am not suggesting this. My point remains valid, rises are proportional even with runes.
I think what you are not taking into consideration here is that not everyone is rank 8. I think they may appreciate the extra attack/defence levels to help compete the rankers.
Off topic, daystalk, your sig made me lol, you suck, and that is after witnessing you in PK once, spamming random survival skills vs 1 lv 149 sin.
Really, all I'm trying to get across is that I feel like attack and defense level stones shouldn't be added, as the difference between dragon and r8 bonuses are too great.If I can get 71 attack levels with r8 + warsong and cube, adding the stones will cause a huge imbalance in my favour.Given that dragon only adds about 8 attack and 10 defense levels (or something like that) a person would never be able to get the amount of attack levels a rank 8 would have even IF they fully sharded themselves with say, DoTs. (Versus a fully DoT sharded rank 8 character, of course)Unless dragon set bonuses got a boost, anyone with r8 will still trump them with the 25 attack and defense level bonuses, weapon not included.There are different ways to balance the gap between dragon and r8, but I don't think that adding stones would be it. No matter what, r8 has an advantage over dragon, and even with stones, they still would factoring the set bonus differences.
Really? You want to face all those seekers with insane defense and attack? With more defense and more attack? You mean Tali didn't prove the point already? Proved it to me. Either this is complete troll, or some one is being an idiot. Every one has the ability to get Rank 8 easily. Just requires you to work a little for it. If that really bugged you so much, you could get the rank and gear yourself. Stop being lazy, and work for it.
