part 3 of my vesta longsword adventures, this time i played around on it on the 117 account build.
Using the high skill method of dumping 4 vls specs in a row I was able to slay an impressive 11 of my peers (in a row) before deciding once again to write about how overpowered the vls is.
I feel like it should get bumped up to 30% special attack to prevent dumping multiple special attacks to slightly raise the skill level, Im not even veng/barrage rushing, just walking up to people and killing them with a couple of special attacks. Another alternative could be to add 1 tick to its attack speed.
Another alternative which I wouldnt mind seeing is making the vls special attack have a base damage (say 36), with an additional 1-99% increased damage based on the defence level of the target. The lower damage vs 1 defence and zerker accounts would be balanced by the fact it pretty much always hits, whereas the bonus damage vs high defence builds would bring a bit of excitement to maxed main pking, which is typically a 0 fest. It could also be a good method for 1 defence pures to match up better against void tanks. This would make it consierably weaker on pure accounts, however it would have the same max hit on maxed mains.
I would like to reiterate that it is seriously overpowered when facing opponents of the same level, imagine how dishusting it will be when a level 117 can spam 4x 72 specs on a level 102 account in a pvp world...
ill probably stop posting about it now, although i may play around with it some more when people are using regular gear in the beta, I cant imagine slightly cheaper gear making a difference to the vls though.
