Yes, those are what I was talking about. Had the items been T6 base, then the "Attributes" wouldn't have got an appropriate boost. You can see this easily :
T5 > T12 = 7 tiers
So if the items were base t6
T6 > T12 = 6 tiers.
Since the items were base t5 in dungeonloots/itempreview, you would just make it T5>T11 to see it instead.
Anyway, all of the items for the next cap are already in the database. Just some of them don't have itemnames and only IDs. Infact they have been there for months already.
-
You can see on any item preview addon that the stats wouldn't have been boosted appropriately, and that the lvl "101" items would barely be better at the same tier and plussing (not worth upgrading). As it stands they are worth upgrading to.
-
It's actually a good thing they didn't raise the lvl cap, as this would make 101 items start from base t6 (aka you lose 10% bonus you get from t5 to t6) while not being boosted enough in terms of ghost stats to be worth upgrading (very small increase)

The problem with mages is that most of them just don't have any sort of burst, at least not comparable to physical dps. Also their sustained damage is pretty bad (W/M is not a mage).
Imo, it is kind of dumb how mages never have to worry about their mana. You can spam spells for 5 minutes before you even get close to running out, unless you use the dreamland amulet Thought Squeezing seal, which is kinda useless for M/W (matt should not be an issue) - useful for M/WD but I don't see any of those at all. Would like to see a skill like blood arrow that drains mana per second in exchange for increased fire damage or increased mdmg. Or perhaps make elemental weakness spell increase fire damage taken by the target.
Having said that, I don't think it needs to be that much of an increase tbh. M/W and M/Wd can do very good damage at endgame, as long as the party setup is good and the boss isn't dead on AD (the real reason why everyone thinks mages are terrible is because this is the case at endgame). Run with a wl/m who stacks 4x fire debuffs before AD and a good staff, and you will see that M/W can easily do 20-30% more dmg in burn than a w/m. (just practically, it takes a lot more effort to make a new weapon and new set of gear for wisdom and bravery. Is it worth it? idk).

Since you seem to be looking for a magical class combo, here are my suggestions :
1. K/M - one of the best solo classes in game and still strong in group content, uses cloth gear and magical weapons. High damage and survivability.
2. Wd/D - Similar to k/m in that it is very hard to kill, also perhaps even better for soloing as you get access to healing from the druid subclass.
Mage isn't a very good class for farming dungeons nowadays as aoe is quite weak compared to the strength of mobs, and it is extremely squishy. M/W is good if you need to burn something fast tho.
K/M/W is a good trio as you can play k/m, w/m, m/w with all the same gear, just different weapons.
If you wanted physical combos then you can't look past Ch/R or Ch/M. Very good classes for farming, high dps (Ch/R), high survivability. Wd/W is good too.

Nothing much to say different from what other people have already said, unbelievable how the price is increasing for the same item more and more each time it's on promo, yet the amount of diamonds players get is now less than before. Hopefully they're cheaper at christmas, but then again, I think it's more likely that all the diasellers will be gone by then.

Affected Class/Skill/Quest/Festival/Other: Marissha Boss 4 in Vale of Rites
Description:
- Patch notes claim to reduce dmg from boss
- Boss no longer calls people who get affected by fear- Therefore no white crystals spawn during the boss fight
- Therefore we cannot make red crystals
- Therefore during the phase in which the boss disappears and spawns 3 big red crystals (4 phases in the fight of this), we cannot find the right one to attack. (which is obtained by taking the debuf from the small red crystal to the big one). So the boss fight is entirely broken now
Server: Vidar
Version: 7.2.1.2854

Negative Changes to the IS :
- Reduction of rubies from diamond purchases
- Reduction in amount of diamonds on promo
- Removal of 140% promo
- Itemshop opens 1/4 of the time and is extremely slow
Positive Changes :
-Daily Loyalty
-?
Easy to see why people are disappointed..
-
Maybe they are testing the content (/sarcasm off)
The content has been made for quite some time now (there are videos on youtube of each instance for 6 months or longer) so I am not quite sure why it is taking so long, perhaps something to do with steam release
-
In the meantime I recommend you download the addon DungeonLoots. You can search for any item in the game database and preview it from there, much faster than the horrible loading times of the shop.
-
Yes, slightly more. Getting 3,500 diamonds instead of 3,000 is not going to change much when you consider how much it costs to make gear in the game, unless you play a support combo or a healer.
-
Well the reason why people only buy on promo - buying diamonds off-promo is way too expensive, when you consider how much making 1 piece of gear costs. Increasing the amount by a couple of % is not going to change that. Making promos less frequent and lower amounts will only drive more players away in likelihood.
Except that the announcement said verbatim "Look out for more changes and alterations to the shop over the coming weeks and months.
Yes, but my vision of further changes to the IS is along the lines of more wbp.exe problems and not being able to open it at all D
Item shop has been very bad for well over 2 years now (or whenever the old one was replaced) and has pretty much only been made worse with each new change. Apart from daily loyalty/item depot, that was a good change.

With all due respect it's hardly a rage train, i've seen only reasonable posts on this topic so far. Just once again the players don't feel like they have been listened to - was only a little while ago we were having topics in this forum that aimed to increase the transparency between the players and the publishers - and now this move has been implemented which doesn't really benefit any players, maybe the 5% of the playerbase who buys diamonds off-promo.
I'm sure the playerbase or at least those active on the forums would show their appreciation if there was a move that was genuinely good for the game, but this isn't really one. The reason for this change ("a disparity in the prices between promo and non-promo diamonds") is just waffle - if it's to increase diamond sales (which I imagine is the intention) then why not just say that and not try to say that 140% diamond promos are bad for the game.
Personally I'm not really opposed to this change even, I just think it's dumb and looks pretty bad, there are a ton of more important things that could be changed about the item shop.
-
My guess (I have no inside knowledge so don't hate on me) is that there won't be one for another few months, the new players from steam are still buying "regular" (non-promo) dias since they think it's good value (once they get to lvl 100 they will realise this is not the case), and now they get slightly more when they buy regular dias. So they will probably be thinking if we increase the amount of diamonds we can delay a promo until the sales dry up.
That's what I see anyway, I am wrong occasionally
-
What exactly was the point of this change? Anyone with more sense than money is still only going to buy diamonds when there is a promo on, and now they get less than before, even if it is only a marginal amount, seems like a really unnecessary change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it (140% dia promos are one of the few things about the game that didn't need changing)

Download the addon "Extended Macro Icons" (or similar name). It doesn't just give you more icons for macros, but also increases the macro length by at least 5-6x.
^ too late

No, it should be :
GetActionUsable(1)
instead of :
GetActionUsable(shot slot 1)

Offhand hammer with int/matt as a ghost stat. D/R can use the 1h hammer from dreamland as an offhand but the ghost stats are wisdom, patt and healing power. Would be cool if D/R could use a dagger in offhand so they could use a memento dagger (int/matt ghost stats and has higher magical damage than the dreamland hammer, which I think was really designed for a healing K/P).
-
Plate is probably the worst way for k/m to play, no offence.
I would say you should just stat and gear like a mage - 6x Int/matt, and go for instance sets if you can afford them, or if not, then pieces with matt/mcrit. HoE set is a must.
Then you should get both a 2 H Hammer (for DPSing and for using when Shield of Discipline is active) and a 1H Sword + Shield. The hammer should be from Ancient Dreamland for the highest mdmg you can get. The sword can be a regular instance sword, although you will lose int/matt ghost stats vs using the dreamland one. But not really important.
If you want to tank, then make an earring and wings statted with 4-6x sta/hp and 0-2x sta/def. While using your sword this is enough to tank any instance in the game, in any difficulty. You will have easily 250k hp and probably upwards of 500k pdef.
This is how I gear, there are other ways to do it of course. There is a K/M on the polish server who uses mage gear but stats it with int/sta and has int/matt HoE set. That works quite well too but you won't have the same sort of DPS as a pure int/matt k/m. In terms of tanking, it is one of the best tank classes in the game - amazing single target aggro, very strong aoe aggro, and great survivability. Plus good DPS.
