>What is Skyforge?
Skyforge is a FREE TO WIN, free to play MMO action RPG where you take the role of being a god. Like a god, you will have believers and followers and it is up to you to go and smite the many evil of the world (PVE). At the same time, there are other rival gods that will compete with you (PVP) and other gods that want to ally with you to defeat other gods (pantheon/guild/clan). On the other hand, you must give directions to your followers and believers to grow your religion ever more powerful. It is up to you on how to make your religion great and become one of the best gods of the world.

I'm looking for an MMO with lots of getting a group and farming mobs for hours, is this one like that?
>>123867467
yes, we farmed clan raids for 6 hours non-stop 2 days ago
>>123868293
okay! I see there is some support classes, are they some kind of dedicated buffer or just some dps class that has a buff or two?
>>123868394
Alchemist buff skills dont use rosource so you are free to use all of it on damaging skills but still i wouln'nt call it a DPS class
Lightbinder is more about ptotection and uses a chanelled light beam (that consumes energy) to buff people
>page 10
>>123868394
Alchemist is the dedicated buffer. It has basically a 180% single-target boost every 40 or so seconds (with items) which can be used as a 90% boost every 20 seconds instead. It has a team-wide 30% boost every 1:30 and it has a AoE debuff that increases damage done to targets by 45% boost every 2:30. These all stack for retarded burst (2.9 * 1.3 * 1.45 = 5.466). Coordinating alchemist buffs is one of the biggest (but definitely not the hardest) parts of higher-prestige play. Alchemist's other jobs include timing their terminal which can be used by teammates for a temporary invincibility and prancing around with a comical walk animation.
Lightbinder's single-target buff is awkward and their AoE buffs are great to stack onto Alch's buffs, but in isolation Alch's are far better. Lightbinder's play mostly revolves around timing team-wide and damage reduction, immunity, and debuff-purging/immunity so that everyone survives and is healthy.
There are a few DPS classes that have some minor debuffs that increase team damage, but besides Witch's Volatile Curse, I don't think any of these are very good.

>>123846885
Aurora picked up their progression team.
Exile picked up their PvP team, which was mostly the scrubby TBT guys.
Did Warbros Autism™ slay the Avatar?
>>123876145
Some clarification:
Lightbinder provides 100% damage to the raid for 14 seconds. Stream is actually very good, it's just not used as often because it doesn't stack with Stims (unless you're providing off-stats). If you don't bring an LB to your raids, you're a scrub.
As he said, though, every end game fight relies on you taking greatest advantage of your supports. They're responsible for most of your survivability, and around 70% of the raid's damage output. If you like coordination, you're going to like this game.
I should also note that Volatile Curse is in fact a shit ability. You can't crit shields, so it's a huge damage loss for the raid unless your top DPS are Berserkers. Witch is a garbage class for garbage players, and should never be taken to serious content.
>>123890042
>Witch is a garbage class for garbage players, and should never be taken to serious content.
Please tell me at least Necro isn't worthless because I really wanted to main Witch...
>>123890042
Just because you can't SEE the crit graphic doesn't mean you aren't critting. I bet you also think you can't crit on impulse.
(left is a normal Explosion of Darkness: 38k, right is a crit Explosion of darkness: 98k. For the sake of this demonstration I put on 0 crushing blow.)
Go ahead, spread more disinformation.
>>123892364
Take 3 Kinetics, 3 Alchs, a Lightbinder, and a Witch. Do two boss fights.
On the first boss fight, the Witch curses during burst.
On the second boss fight, the Witch doesn't curse.
Which boss takes more damage?
The answer is the second boss, by a very significant margin.
It's been tested many times by many people.
Nice red herring, though
>>123891187
Necro is worthless.
There's no "{maining" classes in this game, though, and you need not always play an ideal one. You will be switching frequently to suit your group, or if only to avoid boredom.
Most content can be completed regardless of your group or raid composition, and all solo content can be completed by all classes.
You do need a viable class for serious content, though.
>>123891187
>>123896259
That being said, we're also having a major balance patch in a few days. Things may very well change.
>>123896009
That has nothing to do with whether you crit shields or not, that has to do with the ratio of boss HP to Witch damage. The barrier which you need to overcome scales (I'm not sure if it's linear or what) with the enemy's HP, but the amount of damage that it does when popped doesn't. This means VC is extremely strong until it isn't, and the determining factor is how much HP the boss has.
If you don't understand something don't try to explain it.
>>123897164
Is it? That's possible. Whether or not the justification is wrong, the conclusion is the same.
The same cannot be said for your counter-argument, though.
>>123897462
Your conclusion is incomplete. Witch is not a "shit class for shitters" Witch is a class that has very specific uses and can be used to great effect to speed up certain weaker bosses or bosses with high shields and vulnerability phases.
>>123896447
But we already know the contents of that balance patch anon.
>>123897648
I don't think it can, though. What situations are you talking about, exactly?
I've cleared up to B4 and killed the Mech Avatar. I can't imagine any situation where I would choose to bring a Witch to anything. The only time I can imagine it being useful, as I said, is if you have shitty supports and your highest DPS are Berserkers.
Are you talking about in 3 mans?
>boss with high shields or vulnerability phases
I honestly don't even know what you're implying here. Are you talking about something like B1? Are you saying that putting a big ass shield on top of another big ass shield would somehow be helpful?
>>123896259
>You do need a viable class for serious content, though.
Which would that be? Besides tank and support.
>>123898639
Whichever is the #1 dps for that specific content.
>>123899004
which are usually amongst the top?
>>123899797
Right now Kinetic is the top single target dps in the game.
After Wednesday's patch it'll be Gunner.
>>123899885
so following the logic of this quote chain you need to play gunner or gtfo after wednesday
>>123900065
It isn't that simple.
Unless you're doing uber high end content there's no need to play the #1 dps class.
>>123900235
so which classes are viable then?
>>123902515
After Wednesday's patch:
Gunner, Cryomancer, Berserker, Kinetic
>>123902849
what about monk, necro, witch?
I literally just started playing this game due to this general.
How do I maximize my fun without getting bored like I did with Tera?
>>123903084
Monk is useless, Necro is close to useless.
Witch and Archer aren't as bad but they're not very up there.
>>123903263
>Monk is useless
why ;_;
what a shitty balanced game if half the dps are useless
>>123903228
Same as most MMOs; find a pleasant group of people to play with.
Use your sparks carefully. Don't rush your cap; always get holy texts when you can.
If you're going to spend money; Use it on
>keeping Premium
>Upgrading your Red and Green Vectors
>Upgrading your Chapels (only up to rank 25)
Try to avoid converting Argents to credits as often as possible, since it's pretty inefficient compared to buying Ether Cores / Holy Texts.
The events are pay to participate, but always try to plan it so you can spend money on them. They give a lot of enhancement stones, holy texts, and consumable items that are worth the cost, and they usually reward you with an upgrade item that is necessary for staying viable. You can buy those items afterwards, but it's usually more expensive.
In general, just be patient. Unless you're trying to keep up with friends / pantheon members for progression, you shouldn't have to be spending much money.
>>123904921
But anon, holy texts are cheaper if you buy them with converted argents into credits.
Can't fucking wait for cap increase on Wednesday...
Bored as fuck atm.
>>123905370
That's bonkers, anon, I never noticed. Then again, it's been a few months since I've actually had to buy holy texts.
What I basically meant is that for things like upgrading the ranks of your vectors and ritual ornaments, it's better to use the credits from your cap rather than converting argents for it.
>>123905812
Since you mentioned events how much money should I expect to spend to max one? I've been holding to my 20k Argents for a few weeks now.
>>123905985
It varies from event to event, anon, but on the last event I think I spent around 35k argents to get to the second chapel upgrade item.
The reality is, though, that the events are literally just slot machines.
If you're terribly unlucky, it can be quite a bit more.
It obviously costs less to simply buy the item you're looking to get after the event ends, but the amount of shit you get in the process is worth more than the amount you would normally spend buying it.
If your chapels are maxed, your ritual ornament is hella strong, and you still have a lot of consumables from another event - it's possible that simply buying it will be more effective.
For newer players, that usually isn't going to be the case though.
>>123906404
Can't wait to get my Temples to 25 so I can start catching up on other shit
>>123906404
Actually, perhaps I take that back. It may cost significantly more if you try to buy it after the event.
If you buy Victor's Medals and purchase the two chapel items from the last event, it's actually 70k argents total. Which is almost double the amount I spent.
It seems you should absolutely participate in the events either way.
what are these events you guys are talking about? I'm on my second week playing this game.
>>123908027
As I said, they're not exactly events so much as a glorified slot machine, and they basically function the same as your adept missions.
You send an adept out, it costs some tokens that you either buy or get as a reward from missions. 8 hours later they come back with some shit. It's either flat event points, or points and an random item like holy texts, consumable, credits, etc.
The event has a progress bar. When you reach a certain amount of event points, you get a certain reward. Most of it is cosmetic shit, but there's usually one or two exclusive upgrade items that you want to get.
It's a shitty ass system, but it is what it is. You're pretty much forced to do them to stay viable.
>>123908971
that sounds really close to being p2w if you can buy tokens with argents.
Is there any event running right now?
>>123909532
No event running right now.
>>123909532
It's not pay to win for that reason, the tokens are easy as fuck to get.
It's pay to even participate. You're essentially required to speed up the missions with argents in order to get the higher rewards.
If you want to stay viable, you have to pay sometimes. That's the deal with this game - have no illusions about that.
>>123912486
so, the whole "free to win" thing in the op is a lie?
>>123912827
No, he's only talking about specific events that aren't competitive or ranked, just cashgrabs.
You can play the game entirely ignoring them or not spending money on them.
>>123914953
Yes, but you'll miss advantages that other people will have. The last event, two double chapels, is very significant.
$35 dollars worth of event rolling, or $70 to buy it afterwards. Or, be at a huge disadvantage. Up to you.
>>123918231
Two double chapels isnt nothing unless you're an autistic minmaxer, plus you can get them withuot paying easily.
Don't worry about the game being pay-to-win. You'll never win even if you pay because of the retarded weekly caps.
Stay alive you beautiful general you
>>123923469
And a mod just locked my thread about cerebral melting because someone in that pantheon got super butthurt that I just wanted to watch their shit burn. Kek.
So, how do I make a very short, very thin woman without ending up with huge missplaced tits?
I put the at the minimum and they are still huge and point up so hard.
I just started today and the game looks pretty fun, it looks like I can easily switch between classes (the only three I have) without losing much progress, but I suppose that changes later, right?
Does leveling a few classes together make sense or should I focus on one and then move onto another one?
Is there a point in the game where you can just get a group of people and farm a lot instead of doing quests?
>>123925202
You get rewarded for completing a class (getting all Ability/Talent nodes) by getting a powerful (usually) class symbol and unlocking two extra symbol slots. There are some pretty powerful symbols so you'll want to focus on maxing a few classes before moving on to a few more. Maxing one at a time is better but I understand if that's a pain early (I didn't max a class until I had already finished most of Lightbinder, Kinetic, and Knight, but after I maxed those three I did it one at a time).
Quests in this game are pretty pointless and solo instances drag on. Like all MMOs grind is the glue that holds the real content together: the end game content. Raids of various forms have interesting mechanics and feel rewarding without requiring high mechanical ability (just good coordination). Unfortunately because of weekly caps it'll take a while to get there. Five mans might tide you over, but they're generally either too filled with idiots who ruin your day or are filled with people who trivialize the entire session because they're past their training wheel phase.
