RAMPAGE revamp: wtf TORAM

It would have had to be great to make it great again

 

They should make rampage like phantom slash but different, it immune to status aliment but still take damage, a bit different than pahntom slash.

 

Do this do that....

 

Wide AOEs are not possible to dodge, even if you ran. As yeti targets the whole map. I don't think you understand the game mechanics. Simple aoes are fine, and they take no more skill to dodge than before the rampage update. So it is not a factor of skill, more of functionality.

Old rampage: Interupted by...
Flinch
Stun
Knock back
Tumble

New Rampage: Interupted by...(any attack with status effect).

Flinch
Stun
Knock back
Tumble
Poison
Slow
ignite
Dizzy
paralyze
Fatigue
Stop
Blind
Bleeding
Fear

Some are unavoidable, regardless of skill. and this is the problem. Because, if rampage is now a buff it is functionally redundant.

In regards to your equipment suggestions. No, it obviously indicates a lack of understanding of the issue.

 

Even with resistance to status effects, it shouldn't be left down to chance. Even with tank builds, if you're building for resistance...you'd probably not be using rampage. I used the old rampage fine, and did good damage 50K + and with high evasion. My avoidance rate was higher than most people's resistance. Now rampage is less likely to finish under the same conditions as previously experienced. Running around, isn't really the point of a tank. That's for ranged users....

1h / shield users have lost a skill option. We don't have the same AMPR potential as dw, and we sacrifice the fu-build options to spam skills.

Imagine if other skills used by mages cancelled out post-casting, because you were inflicted with a status. Imagine if all your buffs were removed because you were slowed.

It's insane, and not thought out.

They should just rename Toram to, Mage-Art Online or anti-sword-art Online

 

I did like the old rampage a lot, but the new one is great BUT it's so situational that it becomes nearly useless for most players, that's my input on it.

 

I agree the concept of it is great. But the broad conditions to debuff are a mistake.

 

Agreed, there's just too many status ailments that can affect you in the game that it becomes highly difficult to use outside of miniboss farming, but I think in certain situations it can still be extremely useful and powerful, as showcased by Cypherian

 

Yeah, DW has the advantage of shadow step. But PG is easy to avoid, even old ramapge worked well against him since.

 

I think Rampage has been geared directly toward DW with this revamp, as is the same with a lot of other things that came with this update, but overall it's too directly focused, my reasoning behind this is that not only does DW have the advantage of Shadowstep, it also has the advantage of (Slightly) higher motion speed due to aspd easily surpassing 1000 (Correct me if I'm wrong about this, just heard it somewhere), and Dw also has Phantom Slash, which you can use to do heavy damage OR to simply completely avoid AOE's and all possible ailments

 

Its only a matter of time before someone mastered the new rampage. Its always like that since old times.

 

My main is a 2hander and I'm free to play so book of oblivion not comming my way, they completely shattered my world

 

Using a potion or maxing personal stats isn't a way of mastering a skill. You're just buffing the negative effects away, negating any skill that would be required to otherwise .

The logic of the skill as a buff seems to disregard how buffs operate normally . No point have any skills that serves no function for the respective class tree. Rampage is great for dw in some instances or completely situational for bosses who have easily avoidable aoes. Though in reality you'll be less likely to finish rampage compared to the the old version as a blade user. They might as well move it to the dw tree, and just give us a skill that is relevant to our role. . . . Whatever that is any more?

 

first you complain that you always die when using rampage because it takes so long and you can't move.
then they upgrade the skill and now you complain that you have to move during a fight.

i have the perfect solution for this:
go play a classic jRPG. there is no movement or interaction at all, just select your skills and watch what happens.

 

Although we can use other skills while in buff effect, i usually worry that my Rampage will be interrupted after casting combo. Hitting 2-3m away from the target is quite difficult to avoid large radius of AOE skills which inflict ailments.
Btw, no charge time War Cry is now good for combo. umm... idk what ailment "Fear" is but i think it would be better if they adjusted War Cry's effect to fit how Rampage works, such as "Prevent status ailments 1 time if you equip 1H/2H Sword"... Recovery is also a good skill to block some Status Ailments but sadly unable to add into combo.

 

If recovery is the skill I think it is it doesnt prevent ailments it only removes themafter the fact. I gotta say thats a nice idea you have there for war cry put a yin to the yang and have them work hand in hand

 

Too soon.

 

I wont give opinion on a skill thats just released not even a week.
Give it time, thats all

 

I wouldn't call it an upgrade more like they changed the pros and cons around now it's weaker more expensive and more easily interruptted but we don't get butt wrecked by bosses that spam skills all over the place not better or worse, just different.

 

I never had an issue with the old rampage. Never died once from using it.
