re: STR 36 damage bonus
Guys a knight with great MR can hardly be para, even by 20 int mage. So dont say that any mage can own a knight =).

re: Combat Craft of the Dark Elf
1st post
Woot, I like the double sword name better than Edoryu.
So both the double swords AND the claws have a chance to inflict critical damage...in addition to their already high damage stats.
However, it seems that they have pretty bad soft ac.....since they say its similar to the mage.
Mage is AC/5
AC/4 will be their's it seems.
Or same as elf/prince (AC/3)
Knight is AC/2
Their lower HP, combined with soft -ac, combined with their inability to use a shield, really hapmperes their ability to hunt and to fight. While they may look over-powered at one glance, when you look closely, you realize that they will really have a hard time staying alive at bosses, and not to mention will be a very expensive class to hunt with, as they lack any good healing spells.
Imagine, more leveling cost than a knight, with as much hp as a dex elf, with soft-ac almost as bad as a mage without any healing spells of an elf or a mage.
In my opinion, they NEED all those weapons just to even compete!
Yes they may look very powerful, but I dont think they are over-powered at all. Although we will only be able to tell once it goes live on the US servers.
Good thing we dont have soft-ac on loa...
Also, even though some claws have 17 damage on small, its still worse than the TSU since TSU is 16 damage on small AND its one handed, while all claws are two handed :(
With all that said, this new 'critical hit' on both the double swords and claws intrigues me. I do not think it would be a large amount of a damage, certainly not as much as the magical weapons on LOA.
Of course that would depend on the chance they have of going off.
If assuming that they go off at around 5% of the time, then approx. 20 damage more per critical hit seems like a nice addition without being overpowering.
Of course, for all I know, the natural swing speed of the dark elf could be really slow, especially when using these new double swords, that hit 'twice'.
It would be a really cruel joke if they do 2x the damage but swing at like 1/3 the rate. That would just mean that they do less damage than most swords while being 2 handed.
Overall, I really am looking forward to this new episode, and cant wait till it comes! I hope that we get this on the US test server next wednesday, and the following week, it would be on US live.
It will be funny to watch the US test server population rise to like a 1000 with everyone making these new dark elves. I can just imagine the newbie fights erupting all over tests over all the over-crowded newbie hunting area.
Please, NC, hurry up and give us the episode :)
A lot of people are hoping that the dark elf does not suffer from the same stun lock that is badly affecting the elves and the mages. That one 'feature' can either make or break a lot of people's willingness to play this class.
In the next episode (EP. 14), they will be introducing new sprites for all the classes. Those of us who play elf, are waiting hand and foot for that episode because maybe the new sprites will fix the stun lock problems.
That is an additional reason we are so waiting for this episode. We are hoping that if DE doesnt suffer from any stun lock, than maybe the new elf and mage sprites wont have the stun lock as well.
