Problems with the current dps oriented raiding meta

[quartz nexus]

then you agree that pure LB is not that stronger

fortitude, 20 winded, concentration and curse get 140k but it can go higher with nice aspects+tomes

[pliant imp]

see the issue is, it can do this while giving good support, it's dps support and a support shouldn't be more incentivised to do dps

[cold oracle]

uh

legitnube gets like 500k dps in tcc with lament

[tepid sinew]

Oh thats with everything that makes sense. I just went off of base damage. Still it seems a little inconsistent with the dps

[last rover]

p sure lightweavers still hit twice on large targets

[deep goblet]

takes time to stack effective dps is way lower + saying pala struggles to 40k is cope af

[paper rivet]

The numbers don't really matter regardless. LB does more damage, can "tank", and has more utility than paladin. The original point was someone saying LB should have it's own version of provoke (which is one of Paladins only (still niche) utilities) ((and provoke is still problematic in many ways))

Support has little to no role in wynncraft. The only viable support IS LB, and those trying to vouch for it to get buffed are insane, as it changes nothing about the current problem. Not to mention LB really isn't that interactive in the first place. For fucks sake theres someone in pfinder TCC that literally uses a baritone bot to afk farm the raid.

lb has freezing sigil

[paper rivet]

now THAT is massive cope

[deep goblet]

idk i think glue is pretty big and more useful than freezing

acolyte is another support archetype that is also played whilst hitting similar damage numbers to pala (on abso)

As I mentioned, it's problematic. The main issue with support is that it's almost always PASSIVE. therefore it has no skill expression and in it's current state is NOT healthy for the game. we need more ACTIVE support.
