Having around 17k bap isnt hard imo. Mastering the class potential of course takes time but if you put your mind in it you`ll succeed. Game wasn't made for every casual playing an hour some stage 5s to get the top rewards. There is lot of things wrong with the game but some skill check is always handy. Practice makes perfect. I just worked into rotation et all to get the title. Didn't use daredevil or unlucky. Just worked on rotations bursts and there it goes. If you want just to press 1 2 3 and expect to have everything people that honed their skills have, well whats the point in the game then ? IF you so bad just roll bard I suppose ...

I switched to gun from BM. But my BM easily had 400++ sustain on fire ( i played light on breaker / CC) and i have less on gun. Burst is higher but sustain is not. Im 10 sec short of the title(best time so far 2:40) and I dont have whale DPS .16500 bap not massive. Challenge it is, but not impossible. The 3 min mark that is.

Game is hard only if you chase top stats. There is plenty of f2p players that play with market prices / crafts and upgrade. They may not have 20k BAP but i`ve seen quite a few around 14k mark. Just play smart. I came end of Jan during old SB. It wasn't easy but i`ve spend some coin. There is still people with around 8-10k bap doing stuff. And getting to 8k isn't hard at all.

Yes and no. Depend of group setup. All astro does is to make the run less buff/grab/breaker dependable. Meaning they can get away with just playing on 10% hp with full zerker/pt and pure dps rather than destro for cc extend plus grab, bard for buff and so on and so on. And also you have less chance to fail due to being knocked over by a tornado in the middle of the purple pizza....

AT stg5 was added. I`ve helped people with this dung and they was able to finish the SB.

Well if you want anything from this chest badly you just have to live with it. I got 8 costumes out of 13 chests. It is what it is.

and some are missing eg daily gold income ...

We played Korea and Taiwan(I had 480 ping in CN so never bothered playing there). Korea was high 300 too and Taiwan mid-high 200. Yeah you can't play some classes like eg sin or anything that need low ping but some classes are high ping friendly. I played FM. The old cool FM I mean. Was good enough to do all the content at the time and skill formula wasn't as OP as EU/NA release so we didn't had high dmg and we didn't had 1 hit full hp like now... we had i frames and Amethyst to heal us and as FM I had ice F to heal me a bit.... yes I`ve spend hours trying to clear Grandpa in BSH and Be Ido and the wind/thunder gods but we made it work. Patience was a virtue back then...

Just send me DM if you`re playing EU. I`ll solo it for you.

I just afk for 5 min, You still get 50 coins or 2 Sacred Vials. Hawever you look at it is a good event 🙂 Jumping like a mad bunny for some extra? Give me a break 😄 And regarding the player that said PVP was never a thing, I guess he never actually tried to master his class. As FM in 2016 Arena was much fun. I had tailored skill builds against every class. I needed to know every class in order to exploit a weakness and when to expect it and what to expect. Now? I can care less what the other 323298 classes do. FM was fun and you had to play smart. BM's were cancer tho. But everything else was fun to play. Including BD and scummoners 😄

Yeah and the new gen is used to social medias Iphones and what not. Computers aren't as important as a new Iphone214 MAX XXL whatever. This new gen doesn't really care for computers let alone gaming rigs for thousands and thousands of pounds/euro/dollars etc. Or laptops. Because desktops are dying for general use from years. Gaming laptops on the other hand are not as reliable and also are big and heavy. And cost an arm and a leg. Have you seen the new RTX 40 series loaded laptops price tags? 2.8k was like the cheaper(ish) one. But even RTX 30 series are over 1k. That;s why Blade and Soul 2 is mobile not PC.

Was that the dragon in misty? In Windrest we did some but calling it fun...died as quickly as the 45 patch. 45 was rushed too quickly but then again we had the latest skill formula so dmg was too high and nothing 45 was challenging at all. Until asura was meh. Sogun Lament and then Nexus were like the first dungeons you couldn't just tank and spank....

Or... you can just ignore Walex. He's a special boy. There is 3-4 names that are ignored if not by the whole server, at least by half of it. Name and shame rules prevent me from getting into more details there.

Admittedly I'm not geared to the teeth but my BM have 650k HP 32k mystic, 504% CAD and 9k BAP and I`ve helped loads of people in Altar, Chimera and Poh 8... Quite a few times I had to solo altar boss but meh not rocket science... As about Chimera I just disable my taunt and let tubing goes around and don't get all of them as I barely find low geared people willing to break tube. I just pay attention to the thingy above my head and I try to move to Myna(The one on the left) as I find it easier to survive in tube there than on Starling. And I keep my HM block too. 1 resist could decide your faith 😄 If you still struggle send me PM and I`ll come with you... mind you I do like 90-100m average DPS in Chimera but normally it's fine as I time my spectral burst and don't waste it.

I dropped my amulet in NM. Got lucky there and took under 10 runs after the badge. As BM I got Slice/Falling Stars which is the best possible version. Never seen anything since.
