Dark Elf Item Changes

GameAbout Lineage reports (http://lineage.gameabout.com/news/index.asp?pg=/news/view.asp&menu_id=2 &cts_id=1588) that almost every Part II: Episode 1 weapon has been upgraded on the Korean Test servers. It's not clear if these changes will make their way onto the live servers with the release, but there doesn't appear to be an event of any kind..

All this frickin offense, dark elf will completely destroy all if they get hard ac, a really rich player could pour millions into a dark elf, get great ac and a +10 Dark King CLaw.......that would get most knights a run....maybe a little extreme..........But most likely they are soft ac so $%$# it....lol

I have a question
It seems that claws do more damage than blades but which weapon attacks faster?
and how does the blade/claws/bows attack rating differ from other classes sword/bow attacking rating? does any one kno?

Clipse, a rich player can't pour millions into a Knight and get a +10 tsu, because they aren't exactly easy to make. I'm assuming that because DKC is stronger than TSU it will be rare and/or hard to make, meaning you can't just go blowing 10 a day for a month and think your little 20k uber weapon will go +10. You could, but do people blow 10 tsu's a DAY for a month? It would probably take that long to make a +10, and it would cost a shitload of adena ;)

Not to mention if someone actually makes a +10 DKC they probably won't use it, they'll go the cheap route and sell it for cash.... lol

EDIT: By 20k, I mean that it sounds like you think it is going to be a cheap 20k or so item, I don't mean that it actually WILL be 20k ;D

DE must have one huge flaw

reason they r getting all these great items

unless they r going to put other stuff for other classes

or make all these items RARE
so the rich get it
and the poor pays millions for it

#16 the one flaw is the fact that DE can't use a shield(with a claw or double blade that is), all their weaps are 2handed.
but dang...that is one nice bow....i'm really not worried about them replacing knight or regular elf, though.....this is how i THINK the balance of the classes will work out. knights will be moved from being the MAIN melee fighter into the tank position (not REPLACED, just moved, with their high hp, hard ac, and high attack), dark elf will be the high damage dealing fast class that can't take too many hits, regular elves will still be GODS (or GODDESSES for that matter)at healing, as well as the best long range attackers. i've heard that reg elf still has MUCH faster bow attack (they say DE is about halfway between knight and elf as far as bow attack....so maybe about as fast as a prince?), as well as the damage bonus at level up...which i've heard DE doesn't get. also, DE doesn't have a brave/wafer item (as of yet). so even in orc scout poly, a DE could never be as fast as a hasted elf with a wafer. but still.........+6 damage on that bow is QUITE nice.....i hope reg elf can use it too...probably not...but still.

There should be several +9 Dark King weapons. I had played Korean Event Server(which has created only for testing). Dark King Claw will be rare than Tsu, but it'll be more than AS. In addition, there will be another choice for DE, which will be lvl 50 quest items. There's no doubt about that. Like a Death Blade, it'll be better than other claws, but maybe same with Dark King Series.

BTW, +9 Damascus Claw was dam strong when it was 16/14. It is only 50k, but there sure be many +10 Damascus Claw also.

The age of DE has come

Blades and Claws are almost same damg.

Blade is 0.8sec/hit, and Claw is 1sec/hit, I can't say it's exactly, but almost like it. And one last point is - all dark elf weapons have RANDOM Damage~ ( that's what GM said , it is posted on Gameabout article )

and last post!

DE has power addition magic, which is called "Burning Spirits"!
it could cover the power of bravery usage of the knight class.
If DE learns third level of DE magic,(which is enkeni dazzi or somethin') it is surely stronger than the knights

still...they'd be awesome undead hunters *cough* silver blades *cough*........or silver claw *cough*

oh...yeah....and so now they've beat mages with magic as well....what's next?

korean test update:

The Dark Elf class now has the ability to create blood pledges.

NC Korea says "We feel that giving the OBVIOUSLY lacking and underplayed dark elf class the ability to create a blood pledge, the playing field will be once again restored to it's former state of complete balance between the classes ^_^"

#36 Burning Spirit does not increase speed, it gives you a dmg bonus. 'Increases attack' = more dmg = not faster.

More damage makes up for the speed- duh ;)

If you slap a tank 200 times in one minute, and a tank hits you once every 2 minutes, who will die first? Duh..

If you have extreme force it doesn't matter how slow you are =)

I know, horrible comparison or whatever, but, lol

The whole episode is centered around the new class. For those who don't care for Dark Elves, (Like me) It's like having to wait for 8 months for a new episode (14 in November if we're lucky?).

#41 - Episode 14 is (currently) scheduled to go on Korean Test Server in November. We will probablky get it in December if we are lucky or else it comes in January.
#42 - Dark Elves can only use their own crossbows, other classes cant use them.

#41 I couldn't agree more...
The funny part is how Dark Elf is so powerful, eh? *lol*
Everyone will delete a slot to make one and after them being in play for a few weeks/months they will be *NERFED*.
Think about it guys, they never let the mage stay powerful... the same fate awaits the dark elf. I really thought the idea was kewl until they messed it up by making him monty haul. I know some of you out there are salivating in all this over-hype, power gamers... right? Just wait until DE goes from most powerful to most useless, then you'll all be pissed and I'll be laughing.

(I'm going to make one anyway though, what the hell?^^)

#45 well someday DE class could be down-graded, but it'll be at least 3 or more years later

#43 DE can only use their crossbows, but it doesn't mean Elf class can't use DE crossbows. I can't remember but not the Dark King x-bow, some kinda lower level of x-bow, the elves can use that.

Amer please update the damage of DK X-Bow,DK Claw, and DK blade. all those are incorrect.
