How about changing the chinese detect skills so that they're a bit like the therapy circles, as in you cast them and then for 2 minutes theres a circle where you were standing and if anyone walks inside it then they appear. As it is those skills are pretty useless because of the small range and huge cooldown.

I dont know how Dual axes damage is weaker.. their attack rate is a ton faster, and they have some nice little extras in their moves. I think dual axe is very underated..

'm not saying don't go 2h. 2h sword is great for quick OSKO, but don't say things like: "axes suck, axes are terrible" and expect me not to defend them. I defend all builds, when people start saying 2h is to slow, I'll smack across their e-head and say 2h has the highest damage.

Axes:
1]High AR, means you hit towards the Higher end of your damage.
2]Defense is higher than 2h defense
3]Anti-Warlock
4]Owns in Groups
5]Higher Attack than 1h attack

Now for Strategies, you have a total of 4 stun moves:
50%
30%
30%
31%

2 Moves (with short cooldowns), making a total of 7 hits get 50% damage increase when stunned. Add Bleed and the High Stun probability ~90% Damage increase. Add in the AR boost, you'll be hitting at the high end of your damage more often than not. Then you have Higher defense than 2h. You have two fillers, and of course you have down Cross which does good damage when the person is under bleed. Bleed makes all the difference in the world, put them under bleed and stun then you have a build that can do damage comparable to 2h.


IMO it works like this:
1h=Best Tank.
2h=Best One Hit damage.
DA=Best Overall after considering the other benefits.

lol have you ever played wow? its called flare, a hunter skill that does exactly what you just said.

@magisuns

lmao your a glaiver arnt you? i bet you are. do you know what that would do to pvp? there would be glaivers who would go sse>sss>sst>sse>sss>sst untill they get a stun, and when they get a stun just use some weak ass skill to get there hp down a little and folo with a ghost spear. there would also be warriors using sprint assult>daredevil>owned, as well as bowers doing strong bow>5combow>antidevil annialation. there are so many ppl that would benifit from stun stoping you from potting. but you know who would lose really bad? blades, swords, wiz, and you know... im farming a blader right now. if this happend, id quit sro for good. and ive been playing for over 2years, that would be a sad sad day.

ok if axe damage isn't that bad then its defense passives need to be improved so that someone will play it, and 2H is overpowed they have a skill which can hit for 2 10k criticals no one could survive that . I still think that bard does need a skill similar to snow shield even if they can only cast it on themselves, its true that tambours help a lot but there will NEVER be more than 1 bard in your party, maybe if you play on venus there will be but that server isn't normal.

In 1v1, against a Str cast Guard Tambour, vs Int cast Mana Tambour. Problem solved. Huge % of an attack's damage completely negated. Then Holding Clamour and nuke. (3 nukes every 2 seconds)

Those only last for very few hits if I'm not mistaken. Just go over and knockdown the bard and its over for them.

add a new page of storage!!

add like 20.....

@guy who said Bladers wouldn't gain from fixing the stun bug: Lvl 100 chain gives stun

An update in the jobsystem is needed!
I liked it the way it was before, but i can understand peoples complaints.

- They need to reduce the change job penalty from 7 days to 1 or 2 days. Maybe even hours are better.

There should be some advantage of being, eg. a lvl 6 thief over a lvl 1 thief.
-Every Thieflevel you gain 4% extra speed when a thiefsuit is equiped, so you can run away from hunters.
-Hunters could have 1% mag/phy atk increase, so they can kill thiefs and protect the trade.
-Traders could use some extra HP or defence, so they can survive longer in an attack.
Those were some passive increases.

Here are some active skills.
-Theif should get a 2 sec stealth, which increases every thieflvl, so at maximum (lvl7) you'd have a 14 sec stealth where you cannot attack, only run. To be used to flee from hunters that pursue you. Cooldown: 5 min
-Hunter should get a 20% stun that lasts 1 sec. A lvl 7 hunter gets 7 sec of stun with a 20% stun probability.
Cooldown: 5 min
-Trader could get a defence increase buff like snakestorm/castle that would last for 15 sec and protect them from 10% damage. (ThiefNPC hits for 1000, dmg recieved for lvl 2 trader is 800) It should increase with 10% every level, so that the max is 70% damage reduction for 15 sec.
Cooldown: 3 min

The gold reward should increase really really much.
Maybe there should be some kind of reward in the job system that makes you recive some more rare potion, like a stack of Vigors, when you do something courageous.
(Go on a 5 star trade for traders, kill x number of hunters/thief players during x sec/min)

-The trade level should also allow more goods to be transported for each tradelvl increase.
-The thief level should allow faster transportations and/or Bandit Scrolls that require shorter time for each thieflvl increase.
-The hunter level should allow an kind of new item, lets say a doll with HP depending on the level of the hunter that attracts aggro or something like that.

There should be more rewards for jobbing.
Seal of Honor - type of things should be an ultimate reward in the jobbing system, just like it is in academy.

I_R_Powerpff's post includes the most excellent ideas here, at least silkroad is based on the battle between thieves and hunters, this part needs the most progress.

Additionaly (by Ash & Vandango)

- New vehicles/transports
- stack elixiers
- more specific item filter (it has already exsist on kSRO)
- More events
- Few avatar suits for gold, or at least GDF and Santa Set for the new servers
- World-wide teleport (I miss it really)

Balance changes are totally unnecessary. There were a few dominant builds on every cap, remember Lv.70 (blader), Lv. 80 w/o skills (glaiver) and so on.

Everyone wants to gimp 2handed, yet do the people who actually have a 2 handed sword want it gimped or just the people who have fought against them. I have a 2 handed swordman with cleric sub.

Its not as good of a tank as most people think it is and with less damage, what does it have?

agree on stacking elixers or more storage space, i really need that instead of transfering 100 elix everyd ay
