Quote from TheProdige

well i think that evrey class should have a book !!

Crane is insanely hard to play these days, they are in need of a balance update. 1k Slash was nerfed drastically (understanding, but do you guys know how hard it is to apply dots?)

Props got nerfed and ended up being completely useless for Crane Hermits. 1 ATK and 0.5 DEF for Spiritualists... Cranes always deal the same damage, and their basic damage is not very strong. 0.5 DEF won't do any cut for them. I got a +15 Fan and yet compared to other classes, my skills are mediocre at best (excluding the DOT Skills)

The only real way to stop enemies are Speed Restraint + Fan Out, but movement speed is so crazy, people just dash across the whole ranked arena and instantly stun before I can even cast my Fan Out. Crane's also have no Instant MAX RP or Skill Blocker (Destructo Disc) or Instant AoE Paralysis (Sudden Stun) like Female Turtle Hermits, they have to charge RP during Sleep which requires quite a lot of time, even with 13 RP Regeneration Shoes.

If you'd compare both Spiritualist classes (except Male Turtle, they aren't really made for PvP - sorta on pair with Crane Hermit though)

Crane Hermit: PROS

- Best DOTS + DOTS Duration in-game

- High DOT Damage

- One of the best Debuffs in the game (Graceful Backstab)

- Weapon Upgrade does not matter, because the damage is always the same.

- A Skill to nuke opponents (if you applied like 3-4 DOTS, 3 Burn WITHOUT RP do average 13k 1k Slash. - It's impossible to apply 3 Burn with RP in a battle vs a strong enemy)

Crane Hermit: CONS

- No real Debuffs/Stuns, only Speed Restraint (their Paralysis and Confuse require DOTS to be applied before using)

- 1K Slash damage is average, especially if people play full antibleed vs you. You got to use 4-5 Burns to nuke an SK or Ultimate (they also got LP % so the Burns don't deal that much) and don't come with you need to play smarter, better etc. I've challenged the top tier players and if you miss or don't get that sleep off, you're instantly doomed.

- Movement Speed counters the whole class

- Only 2 KD's in total in which one has a Cast Time

Turtle Hermit: PROS

- Highest Damage Output in the game

- The ability to gain instant Max RP and higher defenses by an item

- They got a Skill Lock like Karma Majin (Destructo Disc)

- They also got Speed Restraint + Turtle Rod Strike/Spirit Rod & Sleep

- They got more KDs than a Crane (Crane has 2 in total)

- They also have a Burn DOT just like Crane

- Instant AoE Area Paralysis

- Does not have to charge during Sleep

Turtle Hermit: CONS

- Damage is based on Weapon Upgrade

- Movement Speed counters them at some point too, but not as drastically as Crane, because they have the chance to apply Skill Lock or Paralysis, while Crane only has Sleep when the enemies are close

As you can see Turtle Hermits are far superior than Crane Hermits and they really need a revamp. There is a reason why there are not many Crane Hermits in-game, even though Sendoku won the Budokai with it. And it's definitely not because it's hard to play, it's because the CONS overweight the PROS and with Open Beta starting soon, everyone would regret starting as a Crane Hermit very early.

No, the book is made for turtles and should be used by turtles only. They have better thingd to balance in the crane and the book isn't what balances it.

Well revamping the 1K Slash coulda been something, but since most ppl in DBO are cry babies and base arguments on Plat, they probably won't

Quote from Sendoku

Oh yeah the famous 1k slash nerf, let's talk about it.

This nerf has been done because loads of people complained of getting owned by my crane, let that sink in.

Any way you look at this message, i'm only pointing out how pathetic and ridiculous the nerf reason is, this isn't me showing off, this is the truth and few older players know it.

What's next ? Nerfing DW ?

Not to mention this thread barely gets any attention which means its true that 1k slash only got nerfed because people where crying
