Now, anyone that's been to BR knows that the mobs have obscenely high defense, but have rather pitiful (compared to their def) HP. I just decided to do a bit of experimenting....


With my +8 BK xbow, my damage is about 1.6k~1.8k. I deal maybe 150 damage on a normal attack to a Lava Gargoyle. After taking in my free stat STR into account (+80dmg), I deal about...70 damage. Every 1.4 seconds.

I tried using a +0 BK Bow because it had been 30+ levels since i had used a bow, and my damage was about 900~1.1k. As such, I dealt about 120 damage to a Lava Gargoyle. This meant that the bow itself was dealing about 40 damage to him.


...Don't get me wrong, I kind enjoy the fact that my 3 DoTs (72+74+70dmg = 126 dps) are actually doing decent damage, but....my complaint is this:


Why are my dots doing more damage then my normal attacks? I mean, go to AEW or FoS and dots are pitiful amounts of damage compared to regular attacks. My 126 dps, or during aoe 290 dmg per 3 seconds (72x3+74), are doing as much damage as a mage inferno of the same level (My friend, pure int, +9 bk, did about 300 damage to a Gargoyle.)



Okay, maybe I'm not going GRAAAAHHHHHHHH as much as merely -_-ing, but the point of the matter is this:

Burning Rock / Flaming Mine mobs have as much defense as 7x bosses.

The defense is increasing at an extreme exponential rate.

Thankfully, their HP is not; they about the normal HP to be expected if the mob curve continues.



...I'm just ranting. But I'd like to see Outspark and the Developers do something more then just copy+paste stats from Korea, especially when they're fiddling with our skills and damage anyway. We're doing LESS damage to mobs, instead of the normal increasing curve from levels 1 to 7x (FoS ends this in particular.)

Let's make a comparison: Lizard Knights and Lava Gargoyles. Lizards are level 77. At level 73 i dealt about 450 aoe dmg. Lava Gargoyles are level 89. At level 85, I'm dealing about 180 aoe dmg. Both times I left STR freestat in, but i had 12 more freestat STR at 85, so i did 14.4 more damage.




(I could go on into my pvp rants, but alas, class is almost over and I'm 99% sure i'll completely forget about all this by the time i get home ._o)

Remember kids:
tl;dr is for losers
