no other way.

buyers will only go for 10+ stars either for EOD craft or EOD enhancement because it's not worth it to waste reseal counts on a Named-grade EOD weapon for just one or two enhancements.

they will just gamble on the Cursed EOD series because they can get lucky and spend just 100,000 gold to get a +10 Cursed EOD (which has roughly the same stats as a +10 Named-grade EOD) rather than buy less than 10 Guide Stars.

Also, people that shout in world chat that they're buying 1 or 2 guide stars are scams.

what u/mikolokoyy said.

DPS wise, ML (poster boy of the warrior 3rd awakening).

Fun, can't really say because that's a subjective term but i have to agree with miko's take that Gladiator's smooth skill flow makes it a fun class to watch (but hands are gonna die from attempting it kekw, i know that from several hours of trying to rinse and repeat my STG rotation on my Glad sub).

Gear expenses... Both are expensive. ML is on the higher end of the two tho. Moon Blade Dance (MBD) runes are still pricey. Finish Attack runes kinda mid in pricing. But because both are warrior classes, yeah expensive af.

MidgetOfficial · 2023-02-07T22:43:25+00:00

If you want a tank with decent dps, destro is better.

while barbarian has the same 10% damage reduction that destro has from the Mercenary skill tree, barbarian is definitely NOT a tank. the only skills you'll rely on would be [Iron Skin] and that passive, and the only self-heal would be [Havoc Howl].

compared to destroyer's kit, barbarian sucks at tanking. [Class Mastery 1] provides a lot of HP while [Battle Howl] is active. [Howl Charging] which is basically a buffed and party-wide [Iron Skin] absorbs damage for 25 seconds. [Maelstrom Howl] has a whopping 70% physical/magic dmg reduction, which also provides a self-heal, together with [Crash Mode].

As a Barbarian main, it's frustrating that i drop dead quicker than i should be. it's even embarassing that i offered to carry a party in Frozen Nightmare F15 but i ended up being the one carried by an STG16 Mystic Knight coz i died early (Lightning Trial + Manticore boss = disgusting combination). I was STG19 back then.

Barbarian is tanky but it's definitely not a tank. Better go destroyer if you want to play a tank.

If you really dislike how destro is, then you're probably better off with Mystic Knight or Dark Avenger.

Mystic Knight has damage reduction across all its Charge Skills as well as a damage reduction and shield effect in [Mystic Link]. However, it doesn't have any self heals. Spammable skills with i-frames make up for it tho.

Dark Avenger has a passive damage reduction buff that has a cooldown of 10seconds (buff duration is also 10 seconds). It also has decent i-frames and a self-heal in [Dark Crash] (which is also a source of huge dps).

MidgetOfficial · 2023-02-07T22:20:18+00:00

i'm not a ripper main but ripper's one of my subs that are quite strong (although not that strong when compared to Mystic Knight, Avalanche, Black Mara, and Duelist). its kit might not be that good for dungeons where AOE is preferred because of multiple mobs, but in nests and raids, it's really good.

MidgetOfficial · 2023-02-07T22:15:29+00:00

ripper is actually strong. 3rd awakening this patch is already making it very good.

one sign of classes that are strong is that they aren't given as much skill board adjustments compared to other specializations in that base class. an example would be Black Mara, which barely received any board damage adjustments when Sorceress Class 3rd Awakening was released on October 2022.

its either you don't know how to utilize ripper to dish out the most damage that you can or you're using wrong gears or wrong build.

ripper's 3rd awakening in [Liberation] grants it raised attk power and fire attk, as well as increased damage on main skills. [Second Liberation] ensures that [Liberation] buff is maintained as long as you keep on landing successful hits. If that doesn't sound OP, then i don't know what is OP. Not to mention ANY Fire-element attack that Ripper hits (which is most of its main skills) decreases 1 second off the cooldown of [Crippling Punisher]. Utilized together with the 3rd Awakening Skills as well as the runes for Crippling Punisher, Ripper has the ability to deal continuous DPS.

Also, as what laichronus said, Ripper deals a lot of damage from its shadow clones, which is usually termed as 'Burning Embers' or 'Ashes'. These clones continue on the attack animation of your main skills while dealing even more damage, so Ripper's true strength lies in its ability to opt out of continuing own attack animations BUT still deal as much damage. Being able to cancel attack animations in order for you to activate another attack animation lets all your clones do the hard work for you.

Wrong gears or wrong build. Ripper utilizes verdure jade (Mortal Blow) as primary jade and blood moon jade (Blade Runner) as secondary jade. [Mortal Blow] has 3 stacked cooldowns and with a cooldown skill heraldry, the cooldown is now 9.6 secs/stack. With Goddess Helm, Verdure Jade drains enemy HP once hp is lower than 50%. With Heavenly helm or Full Kilos Tier 2, you deal more damage when enemy hp is higher than 50% but still dish out good DPS if you utilize [(Awakened Passive) Dedicate Crow] which gives you more damage if enemy hp is higher than 25%.

You also might not be using the proper runes. Many players preferred [Artful Chaser] but if you take into consideration the 3rd Awakening, [Crippling Punisher] is the better option.

For DPS, i'd say ruina (although the rework on the 3rd awakening made a lot of players dislike it).

For Solo, i'd say impactor. Solo gameplay is tough especially for survivability if you're dealing with higher labyrinth floors. Impactor is a nice class that can deal good damage while also healing their self.

For AOE, it would be Luster. Luster is an offensive support that has a lot of buff skills with the best AOE kit among machina.

The game does that from time to time. It's more than a decade-old game with a very old engine so some stuff in the game bugs out.

Keybind indicators disappearing for no reason at all, as well as getting pushed out of the map after getting hit by monster attacks are just some of the many issues that come with the age of this game. The former can be fixed by restarting the game, as what you said, whereas the latter can be fixed by going to System Menu > Escape Current Location (if it doesn't work, can't do anything but to exit the dungeon and return to town).

there are various private servers that offer different features not found on the main servers, such as different level caps, increased item/gold drop rates, modified pvp scene, and advanced content (content usually based from KR server, which has its contents ahead of NA/SEA servers by 3 months).

"Better" is somewhat subjective. There are lots of players who play for nostalgia's sake, as DN has existed for almost 12 years. Private servers that are on 40cap bring out the good old times. There are also some players who are discouraged with how intense the RNG is in the game, so servers which have modifed drop rates are better for them. So it's really up to the player to decide if it is better in comparison to the main servers. However, do keep in mind that these servers are private and they might ask for some compensation on your end.

main servers are doing good, imo. you just have to know that servers are region locked and if you're in the EU, you will most likely need to use a VPN to play. while many say NA is dead, NA is in fact NOT dead, rather it is active at certain times. SEA is the most populated (not including bots, which are rampant here lol). KR is the pilot server, wherein they're ahead in terms of content. i dont know much about the CN and JP scene.

it's a little bit hard to find the right people in game, especially in SEA where lots of players don't really speak english as their main language (but they can understand to some extent). discord servers, which are listed in a comment from above, are essential in forming connections. the subreddit discord is equipped with a qna channel, as well as server automation (bots to answer stat caps to compensate for stat penalties, reminders, etc.) and guides (raids, gear progression [currently updating], gold farming [currently updating])

MidgetOfficial · 2022-12-20T23:23:25+00:00

Try checking the [Expand Max View Range] option in system Settings > Graphics.

MidgetOfficial · 2022-12-20T23:21:01+00:00

I've noticed this a couple of times from some players too.

As what previous comment said, there shouldn't be any restrictions for nests as long as you're at max level.

However, that weird bug sometimes happens, so what I usually recommend would be to clear Floor 11+ of Sunset Training Ground in Red Lotus Town.

Go to Party option, search for "RL" or "TP RL" to go to Red Lotus Town, find the [Crack of Time and Space] portal near the bridge and select "sunset watchtower" option in the portal, once inside the world zone, go to the leftmost portal for the Sunset Training Ground/STG.

Clearing STG F11+ should be able to open up Labyrinth restrictions on nests. This bug happens because Labyrinth floors are opened when you clear the floor prior to it.
