Hi guys im going to be blunt to say cranes are the worst class in pvp by far thats why you dont see anyone playing cranes , even when daneos fixes the problems with the class. anti bleed gear shuts them down almost completely, then add the fact that they dont have a true stun and boom a useless class, Note some of these suggestions are build upon
BlazingBarrager's class balance thread
heres a list of suggestions i recommend to make cranes alittle better without overpowering them
1)
these moves are practically useless in pvp remove the requirement of a particular dot needed to be in place before activating, ie spirit wave needs a posion skill to be hit on a target inorder to use the skill,
to prevent overpowering of spirit wave build the skill like this +5 skill at level 1 have a 3 second stun with a max range of 25m with a cooldown of 45 seconds, at level 2 increase it to 4 seconds and a range of 30m keep cooldown to 45 seconds, at level 3 increase it to 5 seconds with max range of 35m cooldown still at 45 seconds at level 4 sp increase the aoe to 8m up to 8 targets ,
at level 5 reduce cooldown to 35 seconds.
increase energy heat wave (confusion) level 1 range of 25m duration of 3 sec cooldown of 30 sec, when +5 max distance should be 40m with duration of 8 seconds, no aoe, cooldown @25 seconds
SPIRIT TONGS(increase cooldown of all skills) keep cooldown where its at this move is very powerful and can make a mess of an opponents combos so its fine where its at
Spiritual sensation reduce cooldown to 30 seconds, no aoe, duration should be 45 seconds instead of a minute 30 seconds
2) change one of following crane moves below from bleed to another type of dot damage to make them more versitile and to prevent total shutdowm from antibleed
mystical crane typhoon change from bleed to poison
dodon ray from bleed to abdominal damage
3) instead of a passive dexterity buff give a passive resistance rate buff build it like this level 1 +15 resistance, level 2 +30 resistance, level 3 +65 resistance
4) increase solid bleed range from 25m to 35m- range is important to cranes skills should reflect that increasing the range to 35m is reasonable
I feel what im asking is fair and wont make cranes overpowered im just compiling ways to make cranes a more enjoyable class for pvp. feel free to add your comments below
