Could someone explain me...

How does T4 skills that you need way higher lvl are worse than the Tier 4 way lower lvl than the previous ones? I dont get it.
Well the same I dont get why cf have more damage than Finale...

 

apparently every skill tree is designed by a different company with different standards, and neither knows what the others are doing

 

I think they should just make the skill based on MQ progression instead....

 

Maybe they just clueless and don't actually play the game much that they design.
I also don't get it, mage is so lack luster in toram, the only real viable skill is finale and it's boring and slow asf ( I haven't leveled my mage for two years bcoz I always fall asleep while casting finale) and the other viable skill is burst, but one needs stupid high cast speed to make it work and ele gear and buffs to be comparable to a non ele phys dps spammer.
All the phys skill trees aren't locked by needing a certain amount of atk speed or skills taking decades to cast so I don't know why mage is so restricted in this game.
I was really lookin forward to this update and thinking mage is finally going to become relevant and parties will become more balanced but they release a magic skill that is pretty much pathetic even if you have 6k matk with ele gears and what's even more funny is supposed to be a tier 4 lol. And I still don't understand how they can release a skill that can't even hit a boss, it's unusable, I mean what's the point lol.

I duno why they hate mage so much, mage is supposed to be powerful and have wisdom but in this a game it's a peasant.

 

I flat out busted my gut laughing at advanced familia.

The description totally reads as advanced feline retardation tho...

 

I saw in a video that its supposed that imperial blast do 1,5 or 2 the damage of the skill that trigger it. MAybE iT WoNT bE a cRAp iN ThE FuTURe If TRUe

 

They don't want buff skills to ever be mandatory to make a character strong. In their design philosophy Buff/Support/Other skills are a supplemental choice to reinforce the Weapon skills and to bring variety to character builds. Due to this, you'll likely never see a 1:1 damage comparison that outright favors Buff skills within the Weapon skills tier.

The reason they chose to design this way? Anyone's guess honestly.

My idea on why they do this is.

1.) They designed bosses/mobs/events around the main weapon skill trees. Since we know at least the 4 main weapon skill trees are already designed through Tier 8 skills.

2.) If they design around the main weapon skill trees. Buff skills they release that come out of the blue creatively will need to be set weaker than the main tree, so it doesn't destroy encounter design.

Problem with 2 is that (as far as we know) they didn't design with Difficulty modifiers originally. Which changes the dynamics of balance drastically from the original conception of Toram.
Anyway....

Lets be sincere, for releasing buff skills that players with a few neurones alive wont take I wouldnt make the effort for make em.
If Imperial ray would work like blast damage its equal to the half damage of the first Magic skill that hit the mob/boss it would be good synergy to Finale but nooo
