GMs planning on nerfing Artemis/Sniping Suit/Sniper in some way?

[Forsaken]

Are there any plans/considerations to change them or do the GMs think that these items are 'fair'? It'd suck spending all my zeny on them only to have it get nerfed, so I figured I'd just ask instead.

[MinTako]

Even if they were planning on nerfing arti I doubt it would get done till after the SL/SG and ninja sqi's are finished and even then I doubt it because so far its been fine without complaints.

As for the Sniping suit, I've seen a discussion or two about it and from what I can tell so far the Gm's have tested it and found it to be fair enough, but should I problem or situation ever arise where the Sniping suit is found to be too OP they will start to consider nerfing it. For now I dont think theres any threat of it getting nerfed, from what I've read anyways. After having spent hours farming one I really should hope it doesnt get nerfed

[Bagel-kun]

most of the imbalance seems to be coming from aspd affecting after cast delay once that gets fixed expect SS to not be as spamable.

[Forsaken]

Sounds like it isn't worth buying then. I'd still prefer to hear a GMs thoughts on the item, though.

schro said they wanna change the after cast delay to not work with 2 kiels or osmthing like that O_o so its not like triple kiels even without bragi

[Valash_Vrayr]

If you ask me, cast delay in itself needs to be fixed.

If I run Keils on Champ, the lower my ASPD is, the faster I can Heal spam.

Doesn't make any sense really. Usually it's more ASPD = less cast delay.

[Typhoom]

yea they added 1.5 seconds to cast time and they need to fix that later its anoyingme

[Bagel-kun]

yeah they did it because aspd affects after cast Id imagine the global delay will be gone once they fix after cast delay * I personally think all conversation about nerfing sniper suit is moot until that gets fixed*

[Valash_Vrayr]

Snipers aren't even the only problem, it's a shit ton of skills that are highly dependable on ASPD really. Snipe Suit is nice, but the only thing that's borking it so far out of proportion is cast delays at this time. If after the fix it's still intense, then that is a whole different story, and should be dealt with aside from the general borked mechanic.

Really the same thing could be said about Holy Cross, Bowling Bash, ect ect. List goes on and on.

Don't waste your money on a sniping suit. its really not worth the prices I've seen. It's mainly greedy people looking to cash in on new items. Gather some people, farm one, Bam.

or... just wait a little while until soo many people farm them trying to make money that they drive each other's prices down because no one is buying them.

Boycott them ftw until you find a price you like
