Can a designer play mage by himself?

what’s wrong with the desigher? just go expedition and play mage , don’t you ever test it? A corruption expedition with fire resistance?so what can we use?After each update play yourself,OK?

AFK if it doesn’t change!!! noob operator

I was a bit prepared when I started working on my character. I started as mage.
Basically the idea is this: in this game you spend 200 gold and you respec and change class on the fly.
In other games if you get hit by a nerf is game over. You need to Re-Roll a new character.
So when I saw that was so easy to respec character I worked to make every possible class in the game. Total nerf immunity.
Now after the update I started playing mage again → in OPR.
Regarding dungeon I have specific build/classes for each different dungeon.

Example:

  • Dinasty I can go with Spear (the Corrupted take extra damage)
  • For Lazarus I go with Hammer and maybe spear for Rend
  • Genesis is Axe and sometimes Hatchet.

So, my suggestion is to make every possible build. This should be apply in every game if you’re serious, but for some reason New World is easier

You do understand that getting really good legendary gear for each class and upgrading it ain’t that easy right ? I have hundreds of crap legendary drops that can go towards casual opr or low level mutations

The entire concept of bonus or less damage to mobs is a bad system. The designers have noob designer energy which is good and bad in different ways, but mainly because they lack any form of practical application when added to the game. We tried similar systems in vanilla wow, and it did not last long for good reasons.

Trying to encourage class diversity from such mechanics does not actually impact class diversity. In the case of new world is just swapping the gem. Do you know what does impact it? making each class enjoyable. People will always play what they want to play, and if they cant they will quit.

The ags design team has no mmo experience and this lesson of practicality and trying to force different classes on people will be learnt hard.

In addition, we get almost no usable drops from dunegons and no BiS ones that I’m aware of. Firevine Battlestaff is good but not BiS and Instrumentality’s Earring doesn’t even upgrade to legendary when you upgrade it from 599 or whatever with umbral shards. Meanwhile, other classes get multiple free BiS 600 legendaries from dungeons.

Plus mages have been nerfed into (excuse the pun) oblivion, while other classes have been buffed by the devs. Compared the damage of a bow to a fire staff - both pure dps weapons with minimal CC. AGS apparently hates mages.

I don’t think AGS hates any class in particular.

But they definitely seem to listen to whoever screams the loudest.
If your role is a hard counter for that mass of players that can scream the loudest, then you better brace yourself for incoming nerfs.

Explain me why the game should be easy at all?
I think the main problem here is that you want easy stuff at this point. LOL.

Good luck finding a game where you have BiS gear for every possible class. Also good luck finding any MMO game that is easier to max out than this. Please tell me the name so I gonna play it

Compared to other MMOs this game is a cakewalk. You can literally cut stones and trees to buy almost perfect gear. You can swap class instantly. Any content you do in game brings items for all the possible classes.

Other games have bound items that you cannot send to other ALTs. And you absolutely need ALT characters if you are pro in any mmo I ever played in my life.

Cringe

Game shouldn’t be easy! You made it look easy and like switching classes it’s easier than other mmo. I simply stated the opposite

For real, compared to other games that’s a joke. Trust me when I tell you that. Games are getting easier and easier nowadays. And on top of that the “grind” would never give you a 100% sure outcome. You could grind for years without dropping the item you need. If you where dropping specific items in other games they more or less would have been unique to your character only. You would be considered a god by the entire community of the game by owning specific equips.
Here never happens. Everyone has everything (Example: BiS Hammer fury, BiS lifestaff, BiS earring and ring)

In New world all you need to do is change gear to change class. You’re meant to play more than one. I have -2- dps builds for dungeons and can play any of them with optimal damage.
