Meta Class

[Junmeister 9]

I have been playing this game since I was in college back in 2006-2007, the game was called Prist**tale and managed by Netplay here in the Philippines. I was an FS at that time and one of the top players in our server Migal. Due to hardship in leveling our FS top gears were only Doom armor and Fury axe with +10 aging, and no AOE skill due to cylcone strike cooldown of about 12 seconds lol, no 5th tier yet. I remember the highest map for hunting is Ice Map 2 (Frozen Sanctuary). That is why I just did PVP all day whenever I logged in until decided to play and focus on my real life.

 

Back in the day, when it comes to PVE, the meta was MGS and PRS and for PVP it was PS and FS although I give an extra edge to PS due to their vanish skill + CS which is deadly.

 

I missed the game so much that is why after 20+ years, and shock the game is still alive, hence, I decided to play this game again and created another FS (which is my favorite class and own bias lol) now at level 124, my question is, since a lot has been changed, what are the meta classes when it comes to PVE and PVP? who are the top classes?

 

Thank you for answering.

The game still more PvE with tanker+As, Mgs. Fs is very strong in PvP but not untill you you reach 16x. You can either enjoy lvl yourself or donate and buy account, which is much faster. Regardless, your choice

Solo PvE: KS

Most efficient PvE: multiple accounts with tanker (MS/PRS) + range damage dealer (MGS/AS/ATA) and buff.

PvP: BS/PS/KS/FS with full buff.

For duels its BS, SS, Prs ( No buffs 1v1), ata.

For team fights with full buffs its as/ata/ps/bs/ss.

 

 

 

For solo PvE can also add SS. In many game aspects SS has the edge actually. also a lot cheaper.

A note is the meta in PvE is actually just use a prs+ a tank+ a class u like. lvl them together.

My heart was shattered when I don't see FS on your list. Just kidding.

 

May I know the reason why you don't have FS on your meta class list for PVP?

It's an overated class.

Buffless 1v1 cases:

BS owns them if they play like not noobs. They can run them over completely if it's pro vs pro.

Ata usually owns them if they play well. With amazon rage she can completely run him over.

Pikes can have the edge if play dirty.

SS completely run them over in.

And the rest- he usually doesn't have an edge, except against ks.

 

Full buffs:

Still the case in 1v1, but I guess u wanna hear about team fights:

 

He's either a total glass cannon ( 2h weapon), who can't tank at all, and must attack from close range means he's on the frontline of damage+ debuffs ( And dies so easly, just 1 moment of 2 players attacking u, can be rangers/surprise attack from pike/ass ) and its over. Can also be 1 player who attack u and times it well and u are dead, while ACing some1 else. 0 deff block evade, nothing to protect you.

 

Or 1h weapon: Low damage and DPS, and crit. Has to attack from close range, means he's on the frontline of damage+ debuffs.

Low deff+block+ abs. Would use a SS literally for every single aspect over fs.

 

Can also own a mech, and still maintain good damage with 1h, and be a lot more defensive.

 

Can own an ata/as and be a different kind of a class cannon, but more deff+evade- better in team fights than flat hp. By far. Also, they deal much higher DPS, and they are a lot safer to use.

Those 2 also run fast, and can avoid tough places+ can stun. Ata can even AOE stun.

Ranger's players only cry not because their char is weak. Its because they are so dangerous that they are the first target, despite tanking better than fs/ass in team fights.

Also their player base isn't a bit creative. Due to their fast running speed, high deff+evade, they could be used as bait, while many of the opponent team are at them, letting their teamates kill/recover. A lot harder to chase a high running speed class, and mounts have CD between the time u attack, to the time u can use those again.

Also skills that close distance can close the distance once, but they just make a bit more distance, and most of those will be CD, so they  are forced to run at them.

 

Can also own a pike/ass if u are into assassinating others ( For team fights pike, 1v1 ass ).

 

BS with nearly the same protective lucky stats with her fists, compared to shield fs, but with belt, stuns resistance, cage,  and insane brute force that actually changes the whole game dynamics.

And she doesn't sacrifice her DPS for that. Or a much better tanker, both with lucky stats+ brute force, compared to 2h fs whos paper.

 

No actual reason to own him, when others do a much better job in almost every aspect.

As mentioned- overated. not strong.

Also- you showing 17x players, not 16x. 16x is different story. 17x can play whatever they want, and many of them are just players who spend a lot of money on the game ( Which is great, because thx to them, the game is alive). They have lvl+gears advantage. They are not a measurement for anything.

 

Ill note that with full 148+24+ gems and relics, and with 17x stats, fs relatively rises his rank among others in 1v1 scenarios. Yet not nearly as strong as BS/SS/AS (vnhello from EPT I guess noticed this, the very top player, and ofc Noob knows about it too, but hes mostly into BS, and wants to play a completely OP one). Also his 1v1 perks pale in comparison to the classes I have mentioned in team fights. But this is defiantly not the case for the guy who asks about meta classes for PvP in forum, and defiantly not the case at 16x, as you can check the ranking from 160 and not 170.

 

Lastly, you are looking at it wrongly:

Check the number of FS over 160, vs number of SS for example.

With that, check how many 158 fighters this game had 2~3 years ago, and how many SS,ata, BS, prs, and how many 160 of those classes now. ( Lvl relative to time ).

The number of high lvl fighters has actually got a bit lower ( Lvl relative to time, and there are times there were even more high lvl fighters, like 37).

The number of the other classes I have mentioned, relative to time has increased drastically. SS literally had like 12 160+ before the patch that sped up scratch, BS had like 2 160+ players. ( Was OP at PvP, but suck at PvE, when now BS is fine).

Ata ofc before the buff of vengence - 1 ata 158 or so at her worst time.

Prs was popular because its support, but not popular at a very high lvl. now it is, because shes OP in duels, and great at overall PvP.

 

 

Now, those classes gained over 10+ players each, some gained 20+/30+ new players.

 

Gotta take a look at what relevant to most players, not the 1% at the very top.

Thank you for answering and providing your insight. I really appreciate that you took time to provide valuable information.

 

It appears when it comes to PVP,  like Bé pointed out, the same system still applies like how it was 20 years ago. PS and FS won't even be able enjoy PVP unless  they are top players, which is 10x, I guess it still the same today, for FS to enjoy PVP ( to be considered killer), we'd have to level up to 16x to 17x bracket to be able to 1 hit kill (1 skill) any class.

 

What I like today is the 4th tier for FS that granted this class to do solo on lower level up spamming cyclone strike much like PS. Plus the addition 5th tier skill Flame Vortex that deals massive amount of damage. 20 years ago FS cyclone strike cooldown was like 12 secs and no 5th tier yet.

 

I really envy PS class 20 years ago because they have tornado to level themselves solo and not rely on a party to level up and CS to 1 hit kill everyone except Mage. Unlike FS who have to rely on party be the "lurer" to level up. BTW, leeching was not allowed that time because you can't launch the same program multiple times.

 

Hence, do you imagine, how hard to level up FS that time? Lol. You have to beg for MGS or PRS to let them join you to the party otherwise the only option is to do solo in ROC for exp or do hunt in Ice Map 2 which is going to take forever for you to level up. Took me almost a month playing 4-6 hrs a day to level up my FS to 101 back in the day.

 

20 years ago, the meta class was PS followed by FS. Now I guess it's BS (not sure). Haven't tried BS yet, and I do not intend to according to my own preference.

 

Overall, I still like FS but I will probably consider another class which is ASS for a hit and run killer.

It takes a while to reach high lvl.

A note that in this server u can buy account/ switch class for coins.

 

 

In general  most PvPers nowdays are lvl 162-168. If u are planning on lvling from the scratch, I would suggest to go with a class you like+ prs. This server is very different.

 

Also, if you don't care about a spesific class you like, and want a class that is good at both, lvling and PvP I would suggest SS.

 

He's the 2nd best class to PvP with, and 1 of the best one to exp with ( would suggest to lvl with a prs because it's a big help, yet SS doesn't need 1).

 

He's the most meta class possible, good in everything and cheap.

 

That's my most reccomanded one, can't go wrong with SS ( unless ofc you don't like him).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ill note something about ass and pike, because it seems like you are into stealth classes:

 

Ass is the better option to duel with if your lvl is the same/ higher than your foe. I mean as if I was to fight a foe when I’m the same lvl/ higher than my foe- would go ass all the way.

 

Yet as a lower lvl underdog- it's better to be a pike. It means when fighting a foe who’s lvl is higher than yours- would go pike all the way. 

 

Also in team fights/ PvE scenarios- I would usually reccomand a pike over ass ( he has a dodge+ a useful getaway skill).

 

Ass DPS are indeed higher ( both 1v1 and AOE), yet she can't tank if it's not 1v1 cases.

Also pike will tank better in both 1v1 and 1vs many cases ( due to ground pike/ abillity to use shield).

 

Ill note that ass isn't a chill class, with the most active gameplay by far. And today's gameplay is a lot more active that what it used to be for everyone. Everyone has skills to switch to.

Yet especially ass, has an insanely active and precise gameplay, and it's not for everyone. 

 

 My recommendation, if you want a stealth class, is to go with pike. He's a lot more independent at PvE, and more beginner friendly.

 

 

 

Yet generally speaking: players will tell you to go with ur heart with your favorite class, and a prs to lvl it with.

 

Can also be close to favorite, yet which fits ur needs. For example FS is my own favorite, yet my close 2nd is knight. Yet I play knight because I love his strengths at PvE activities.

At lower than 148- you go with the best items u can find+ full spirit. She just can tank well. in most scenarios she’s more than enough tanker, and will kill for your main char very well ( decent DPS with very large AOE range).

 

At lvl 148+, many equip her with 140 gears bsolm/+24, go with full vit, and turn her into a tanker for ur main in parties. She can also be used for buffs to ur main. You can do a lot with her, and generally speaking, most should own a prs.
 

For rangers prs is a must.

 

For mage/prs/ ass- prs is very very reccomanded.

 

for ms/ks/fs/ss/ bs/ pike- prs is recommended, some parties won’t accept a player without her, yet they can still do very well without her.
