No, you cant. But you can raise the price of the repot, everybody needs to repot. Everybody knows that NL is the pricey job in the game, and maybe NEXON\WIZET\WHATEVER knows that too and thats why they did the alchemist and the drain skills - too make it more affordable. But this patch ruines all that.
It cost less to buy new Subis than to recharge a set of Subis. That shouldn't happen EDIT: New updated cancels this
Only specific potions. And still, If you raise the price of all potions and keep this new recharge price, still its little bit unfair for NL because he need to recharge and to repot. If you just raise the potion price it will reduce the amout of mesos in the game, without affecting a specific job.
nls use the fewest pots due to high avoid and alchemist makes their attack potions last longer making them super pot efficient
So? maybe NEXON\WIZET\WHATEVER made those skills from the first place because NL is very pricey. If it just to make NL not affordable, you got what you wanted. If its to stop mesos-inflation, then im not sure its the right decision.
It's unnecessary. It's already very difficult to make a viable, funded NL. I don't think these changes are good as it's just another hurdle to a class that is extremely hard to fully fund.
Definitely not extremely rewarding, TT30 are expensive, which literally acts as a pay gate if you don't have enough funds, so you can't really use the argument of NLs having innate rewarding DPS even without funding. Mind you HP washing is not optional, it's mandatory and expensive. Add that to an already long expensive list to a proper boss-ready NL. Otherwise you won't even be able to even go on certain boss runs while other classes has more lenience on its HP requirements. So you need to be more specific on your argument, because that's not really entirely objectively true.
Its actually not. You can Zak and HT with HB. Its also free if you use your voted NX on AP resets. Please don't jump to extremes- also more lenience on HP requirements? You mean those warriors who have almost no benefits besides their larger HP pools? Don't even get me started on how NL can "avoid" 1/1 damage lol. NL even with the small nerfs, use far fewer pots than warriors, I guarantee you warriors spend more on pots than a NL will on pots + stars.
From what I see, the prices of star recharge and the mesos saved by alchemist will cancel each other out. Still though, I'm pretty worried that this change will negatively affect new players who grind and will lose much of their meager mesos to recharge. I know steelies and below don't have to pay as much as illbis and above, but I think it needs to scale back even further for the weaker stars so new players won't be hurt as badly by this. Only people bossing (who save from alchemist) should be affected by this. On another side note, I think this new update will encourage people to play classes other than NL, so book prices should respond to new reduced demands.
If only these crying NLs could understand the copious amounts of cheese and reindeer milk I burn through just to have a 1/4 of their dps during bossing D:
Using HB to boss is not really a good argument. HB is not always readily available, and the fact that you need to go out of your way to find HB just to boss is just bad. Let alone the difficulty on finding any DKs these days, but of course that varies time to time. And what do you mean? What you're saying is an extreme in it self, skill books are affordable to warriors, pots are expensive to everyone now and is not exclusive to warrior. And yes because 1/1 damages occur so frequently to the point it's financially crippling. Lol.
There are many benefits to the hero job, it's hardly convincing to tell anyone they have no viable skillsets or benefits
Its difficult because people would rather spend billions to HP wash than lose a little exp and bring a DrK. If every party brought a DrK, there'd be a lot more, just like on GMS and EMS and so on, when they were not only one of the most popular classes for damage, they were always in bossing parties because of HB.
New star prices are ridiculous. I just started playing on this server. I'm playing NL because it's what I used to play but now simply maintaining stars drains so much of the money earned from killing mobs. It's a huge barrier to someone who just wants to play for fun.
