I'm going to play Sorc in PvP - Am I going to have a hard time?

MikeJezZ

I really like the Sorc class, it feels somewhat a little Rogue to me, even though it misses it stealth.

However, I keep reading that this class is hard to play, and even mediocre rangers can kill quite good Sorceress?

How is the state of Sorceress in PvP? Are they gonna have a really hard time vs other classes, or are the "hard to play" over exaggerating?

Also, I've heard theres not hard cap in this game, meaning you can get unlimited levels and boost in hp/mp forever right? Which means that you should only focus on one char?

level --> gear --> playerskill

MikeJezZ

so skill is more important than levels and gear?

Copperfield

other way around :pleased: 

lol

MikeJezZ

Ah sorry. So hard level is more important than both gear and skills?

So if I have a sorc with hard level 200 (just an example) vs a Ranger that is like 70, I should be able to faceroll it even without any good skills?

Another question - if I buy a costume in the shop and gets killed in pvp - can I actually lose it?

No. They removed the item drop on death a long time ago.

The whole game in a nutshell is grinding out your gear to be +15 via black stones.It really is typical Asian type design,it allows them to make less gear options,basically a lazy mans game design.Accessories to +5.Normally this design is supported by cash shop,they took some heat but i expect eventually this game will have zero integrity and be all out cash shop.

Would be nice if devs could give us skills,active and reactive  to make combat eventful instead of just spam.

fishbotting,grinding +15,grinding currency that's it ,that's the game.fish botting and currency is to support the +15 which is basically to support pvp,so in essence just a shallow pvp game.

So levels are 50 doesnt yield much stat bonus?

Ranger is the best 1v1 by far -skillwise sorcerer is the hardest 1v1 as it's the 2nd squishiest class in the game (kunoichi being the squishiest). You make a single mistake with a sorc, it's over. Sorc has the most complicated combos and lacks the extreme burst of kunoichi.

So the level of skill in playing sorc well in PvP is the highest in game and as another downside sorc is not that great in AoE pve either.

After ranger is sorc the best for 1v1.. But ranger is boring.. And sorc is fun, aoe in PvE is pretty big

If this is true, then isn't the game a bit unbalanced? I mean, if bad people can kill a good player because of squishiness, then there are some flaws.

Im used to play rogue in games, and this class feels alot of Rogue'ish.

MikeJezZ

But in a guild vs. guild, won't they focus on the Sorceress, as they are deadly (if played right) and are prettys squishy?

I heard they are strong (but squishy) in PvP and bad in PvE.

Why are Sorc strong in GvG? Would focus be somewhere else?
Would the enemy rather focus on another class than sorceress?

Im no hero. I will put my ghillie suite on and be hard to detect. And will target, lost enemies or left overs, recovering from battle or slowpokes etc

Im a cosmetic whore - ghillie suit no thank you :P

Aw...I love my ghillie suit =(

I think I'm gonna try my Sorc. I really do like playing her. it is just the "hard part" that scares me. My fear is just if I will fail constantly.

I made an evil looking Sorc, but wasn't really feeling the gameplay. Supposedly great in 1v1 though. 

MikeJezZ

Was it the game or class you didn't feel?

I didn't really like the class very much.

You obviously have no expierience at all  in this game whatsoever..

Dont read such comments and play the game urself or read in a more constructive place rather than some forum reading pulled out of the ass comments..

It's pretty true though isn't it? A higher level with +15 is going to beat a lower level with +10. 

sodade21

so player with level 51 or 52 has big advantage from player with the soft cap level 50?
