OP/Weak classes

[Vianthor Aelion]

Hi. i would like to know if elseone noticed that some classes are really op compared to other. i am a 1330 gs deathblade, and usually i deal with my core skills 500k-1kk dmg. i have over 40% crit chance and crit build (+50% crit dmg). how the hell a mage can do 60% guardian dmg on a 4 man raid, especially i saw one mage who dealt 54% (core skills (CD at around 15-20sec) 3,5kk crit) with not even fully t3 equipt. isnt that broken ??? now i need to push my mage alt to t3 just bcs its overpowered A F, not sure about other classes but thats how i see it. feel free to say ur opinion, if possible on a neutral way.

Well it's simple mages have little to no positional requirement range makes it that they are less often interrupted by bump mechanics. They have blinks and a dodge, they Deal massive damage on some spells. In short good DPS, No positioning requirements, better Up time.

Some of the mage skill abilities have an option to increase the critical damage by 60% , add that up to their build and might be good.

igniter that has 25% crit chance and 50% crit damage buff with 50% CD reduction when special is activated? Also built my sorc that has 51% crit chance by default and +17% crit chance when igniter active in T2.

It depends on a boss. I play Sorc and some bosses are incredibly bad to play against.
1. Huge AoEs, especially cones - if you are close to the boss they are easy to dodge. If you are further away it is sometimes impossible if you are caught in a bad spot.
2. Cast times. A lot of good abilities are casted and have travel time. And huge cooldown. If you miss your meteor, your dps is ♥♥♥♥. Some bosses jump so much it is difficult to hit them with these abilities.
3. AoE buffs. I don't play gunlancer/paladin yet but I believe they give shields in AoE around them. If you are too far you don't benefit from it.
4. Zero movement abilities. I think. As Assasins for example you can have additional movement abilities to help with your positioning. Sorc has only spacebar dodge.

I'm not really a meta player but I just noticed some classes are better for certain fights. Sometimes I do 40% damage, sometimes a berzerker does because I couldn't land meteors properly.

sorc have an blink that can phase through and dmg mobs or boss...and you can spam that skill as long as her meter is up and that meter is easy to fill also, she is prob the best class at movement skill lol.

You want to use the meter for DPS and for stagger checks. Without it you can hardly contribute to staggers because of cast times. Unless you are not using cast abilities ofc.

PS: Yet again, I speak as a more casual player. Not meta oriented.

Firstly there are no mages in this game...... "Sorceress" pft wow players

[mutexin]

Sorceress is OP becase this class was the latest. I guess game developers(not only Lost Ark) follow this balancing strategy on purpose to balance out the number of characters playing for each class.
The only problem is that it should not be the case in the western release since all classes are new here.
