Wiz Force proving yet again how disconnected from the actual game they are coding for. Even more so this time than ever before really. My favorite is Zhar recommending you go guildhopping to try out all the new variants even while new patches are applied everyday.... toss all roleplay out the windo...

I don't know where the 15% comes from. Specials still contribute quite a bit of damage (sometimes 100% of your damage, depending on the weapons you're using and foes you're fighting). Sure, regular hits got stronger so overall special damage output seems lower (it's not, it just isn't overwhelming a...

You can't really extrapolate this to the old specials. In the olden days each special had its own code and did its own thing. Once the melee specials were standardized they're all using the same code. Basically, you're just configuring the special by providing initial values like caid, prep time, co...

I'm going to guess it's a matter of how the damage is spread: one big hit every 15 seconds or three small ones every 5.

Pretty much. You either have more burst damage (backstab) or more sustained damage (mattack).

I don't think idling in pub gives you bonus qxp. Would be silly.

Have you tried?

Now I will have to try to see for myself. In any case it shouldn't be like that as it would be totally unfair to the people who did the quests before such a thing was introduced.

When it takes 6 seconds to bring a top 15 myth in tank gear to agony by 3 white hits - one of them being from a neidar with racehate bonus + battlerager bonus + weapon bonus that probably could 1 hit kill a myth with some luck - its hard to keep the 'all is fine' attitude. The racehate bonus have t...

Something to consider that is not specific for Calians: it is a lot of work to get to 10-link Blademasters. If one were to break ones chain, it basicly means you will never regain it to that level. I believe the ogres have a mechanism where you continue where you left if you rejoin them. I'd argue ...

with specials being only 15% of the damage now, the calians swarm aint halfway as good as it used to be plus it have always felt oddly capped compared to other specials. With the neidar racehate bonus on top of white hits, i'm pretty sure they outdps AND outtank a calian anyday you choose a racehat...

They have a peace spell? I am pretty sure I removed that with the recode... can that be confirmed by minstrels? Will need a Minstrel to confirm. Been a while since I was one and last time I was there only briefly so didn't get a full array of spells (and pax wasn't top priority for me). Fair points...
