do you mean sorc can't knockdown period? or have no high knockdown chance skills like flatten?

coz if sorc can't knockdown period, that's surprising to me, coz all weapons have knockdown attribute, including sorcerers disc

I rarely kd on normal mobs on Sorcerer and have never seen it proc on bams. I love Sorcerer having mained BLM and RDM in XI, but I'd take a Slayer/Berserker/Archer over a Sorcerer any day when it comes to dungeons. Which is a huge part of the game once you get to endgame. Their supposed "highest dps" really isn't by that much and the stuns, kd, and lock-on skills from the other dps is way more desired imo.

Definitely gonna play this game and would love to join the guild, I'm from EU but playing mostly during EST times.

Any class that use great swords?

Im pretty sure only our Retaliate skill can proc kd. Also while we're talking about sorcs, I think any1 that has played sorc would have notice it grabs aggro way too often. It's actually not because of our leet dps, but because our highest dmg skill gives enmity twice.
It happened to me too much, I start casting summon hellfire (or w/e it's going to be called) and the mob switches to me -> tank vokes and it turns back to him -> my spell lands and the mob is on me again with tank's voke on cd. nice.

Also I've noticed and remember reading a discussion on Terafans about Archers having -enmity.

I would say anyone should be able to join from BG that meets the following requirements:

1. Not a retard

2. Doesn't log on for 1 hour a week and expect raid drops

3. Gets along with everyone in the guild

What if i only log in for 1.1 hours a week? free epixs plz

You're right. Sorcerer does grab too much hate, and with a bad tank you're pretty much screwed in the sense that you're either going to get faced or you're going to need to hold back on dps since the tank can't keep hate. The class needs an aggro dump like Priest or they need to reduce the enmity on their spells.

Seems to me just reading this discussion like archer is really damn good - good solo class, gets invites for groups due to good DPS, and now the -enmity? Is it really this overpowered or is my perception just skewed? What's the downfall to playing archer?

Most of it's skills are useless/situational junk compared to the ~3 skills you'll be spamming throughout your career. Otherwise the class is very good in both solo and group play whether it's PVE or PVP.

For new people in this thread check out the original post it has some videos and information to classes that you might find useful.

[Foxer]

Drinking one right at this moment, I can supply if you can get here <_<

lol, I always get the half and half before class starts to keep me awake :X

That's WTF is up!

[Naito]

Foxer may I ask you a question regarding loot? How are armor set are mainly attainable – AH, bosses drops, etc.?

[Foxer]

Crafts, open world loot, open world bosses, dungeons, tokens, Battle Grounds.

Nothing worthwhile is BOP. It's all BOE, with the exception of PVP gear.

Thanks, do you mind another question? Do armor sets have any bonus?

[Katlan]

I think you can safely ask Foxer anything you want =p
100 questions him lol

[Naito]

Umm, I suppose so, but I'd like best to not harass him with too many questions =)

[Foxer]

There are set and RNG bonus stats to some armors and weapons. From what I see there are pool of RNG stats and I'm not 100% sure I can call it full RNG.

Accessories are more like JSE from FFXI. You can get rings on any class, but the added stat is usually designed for specific classes. IE: Crit, cure potency, etc.

Armor has stats base stats, and added stats. The enchantables usually have lower stats than non-enchantables, but +6 and higher evens out/beats non-enchantable gear, and it also offers extra bonuses for the enchants. Hence all dungeon/world boss gear being enchantable.

Same applies to weapons, except these stats are obviously offensive.

IE: Body can give you % defense to elite/normal/minion mobs, crit defense, self heal potency, etc. Weapons can give attack % to elites/normal/minion mobs, cure potency, damage from behind, etc.

Edit: You can ask me anything, but you gotta play the game for yourself to get a feel for it. How you spec your gear is fully dependent on how you play your game.

[Cichy]

Always screwed me up in Korean version how you can have 2 types of golds that look same but you can only enchant one. Enchant one is the one you want offcourse as some go to +9.

Thanks again for the infos, I do realize without experiencing the actual game it gets a bit "abstract". It is mostly to get a better understanding of the features, since the official sources aren't.. collaborative enough, to say the least.

Out of curiosity, are there many Baraka?

Latest interview with Lead writer David Noonan: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...ad-Writer.html

Most important info:
q: Again to switch topics, when will TERA be available?
a: We haven’t announced a launch date yet but I can say we are on schedule.

On schedule, loosely I suppose, means 2011. However, as I mentioned a few pages ago, BHS set a schedule of NA/EU OB to start aprox 1 month after J-Tera release, so if thats what "on schedule" means then we are really only a few months away from release :D
