2.5 Korean Patch Notes (Official)

**Trichocyst** · 2011-01-07 03:00

The people who run my legion work for NCSoft and have hinted, but not confirmed, that 2.12 may be out in a few weeks.

Don't think that's an accurate statement at all, atleast in terms of fort raids about SM's dps. If your group wants to knock off your debuffs(IBlol) then it's a toll on your self but, once you fucking get an SM pumping their rotation, in capped mboost ofc, SM DPS is absurd just depending on how you stack yourself. You don't find any DPS/PVE sm's because it's been so fucking looked upon for so long, and it's much easier to his Glacial>Flamespay>Inferno for your AP anyways

If they seriously add another row or two on debuff slots I'd consider playing again in my free time.

Just couldn't find a solid core of players to play with while I was playing so I lost interest in the game constantly trying to pug shit, which, as a SM, is hard enough in its own.

Might as well resub then, since SM is getting some love.

They're also on longer/shared CDs.

**Veyron** · 2011-01-10 12:32

Vampiric wave, pwn.

**SilverBreeze** · 2011-01-10 15:52

Wait, Spiritmaster finally gets a castable filler spell while their dots are being ticking instead of Flame Bolt I?

I am speechless.

Would have liked for it to be instant /1 second cast but I won't complain.

Anyone looking for a decent SM o_O. I think I may be resubbing soon

Yep, exactly. And judging by the base damage, you should be looking at ~2-4k damage per cast (noncrit) depending on your mb. That's a huge dps boost to slot into the slight gap in rotations.

I've been playing a lot more SM recently, I gotta say im really happy with the new stigma options. Hand of torpor is such a nice thing to have pve, makes solo/duo udas far easier; and the extra stigma slots allow a lot more flexibility since the final skills in both trees look like absolute shit. Gogo IP hybrid builds!

As to groups, it's shocking to see how many groups are looking for a SM on a nightly basis on Siel; everything from TL/forts to besh hm. Should be really easy to pug around, that's my plan for a bit at least.

**SilverBreeze** · 2011-01-10 18:05

I'm not sure where I'm going to go. I've jumped servers so many times on my Spiritmaster trying to find a decent set group, or even a server with non retarded decent pugs. I think I ended up on Zikel, but I can put a manual Xfer to get back to Vaizel or Siel afaik, because I have characters on both those servers at level 55. I have a chanter at 55 and ended up going back to my Spiritmaster because it's just so much more fun to play, even if it's not as desirable (well, when 2.0 first game out it wasn't, not sure about now, but what you say makes me more hopeful).

That spell will be such a huge DPS boost, and actually make SM damage actually somewhat decent on mobs like Fortress Generals considering you can't even land a dot on them for more than 2 seconds, but with the new debuff slots even that will improve.

**Indalecia** · 2011-01-10 18:15

I just rearranged all my stigma's again. Seriously considering infernal blight...havent decided if I want to drop AS again tho :<

**Trichocyst** · 2011-01-10 18:37

I play on Zikel, Elyos.

**Indalecia** · 2011-01-10 19:05

Don't much care for the other race, do ya?

**Pyree** · 2011-01-10 19:15

My boyfriend was running Infernal Blight for a while, it seemed pretty nice for boss fights in our BT group. He switched to some other things now though for higher solo dps, I looked at his page but don't really know what all these stigmas are... I don't know SM that well :<

Edit: Fixed cuz I'm a dumbass

**Indalecia** · 2011-01-10 19:19

Thats actually the exact build i was using til yesterday. And yeah, for pvp its boss. I switched to AS and such cause of all the damn instances im running atm.

**Pyree** · 2011-01-10 19:20

Ummmmm one sec, I hit ctrl+C and it didn't actually copy it and didn't notice the horribly wrong url >.< FIXING IT!

Infernal Blight is absolute garbage, its nowhere near worth the two stigma slots imo.

Edit: if it lands on bosses, not so terrible. I still wouldn't take it over cyclones though, thats just personal preferance. Also, thats the exact same build I'm running lol, except I'll probably swap cyclone for swop/mana for groups in 2.5 (yes im lazy and dont feel like crafting pots >.> )

**Indalecia** · 2011-01-10 19:36

Aweseome gear, but is it just me or is his crit spell really low, all things considered?

**Pyree** · 2011-01-10 20:30

Yeah, blight can land on bosses

makes them all see through and pretty

**Pyree** · 2011-01-11 18:38

If you guys didn't see yet, there was an article about the new PVE arena instance on the KR site:
http://power.plaync.co.kr/aion/%ED%8...A0%A8%EC%86%8C

10 floors, 5 waves of mobs/bosses per floor, increasing in difficulty. Each floor is a different theme, and the arena appearance is different depending on that. Some themes include KHQ/Mist Mane, SM pets, SR, skill trainers, world bosses, and DP.
