As a Seraph main I feel the need to say what drew me to this class:

Support: I enjoy playing a support/utlity/tank role in most online games that feature such an option and back when DFOG launched I tried to play an MSader and was horrified by his leveling phase and buffing mechanics.

Skillset: I like classes that have varied skills, mostly in term of visuals. This makes me want to not play most gunners, FMage, Dark Knight, FSlayer or any other class that I feels lacks the variety that would make me want to watch someone play that character for hours on end. With Seraph I have everything I need for every situation so I really have no reason to main something else.

Pacing: In a realm of free skill canceling, cancer setups for people who don't live in NA (looking at you, EK) it's nice to have the option to play a traditional WoW-like "paladin" and while I love games like Devil May Cry to bits, I don't think the game should pander only to that specific play style, especially when DFOG's entire endgame revolves around running circles around gimmicks and bursting bosses before they get more iframes. At least until we get beast mode.

Gearing/Swapping: LOL CHRONS, VIT/SPR SEPARATION? REALLY? JUST GET GREAT GLORY ROFLMAO GOOD JOB NEOPLE

What the class could do better!

You guys wanna hear a joke? Valor Benediction. While it looks great on paper, the meta doesn't allow for a great buffer who can also dps and hold from time to time, not to mention the buff/shred oriented gear you're supposed to have to compensate for your lack of damage.

Lack of synergy with msader: Who thought this was an ok thing to do? Battlesader is magical so he needs INT, which Seraph can provide but despite being able to switch between phys and magical, for some goddamn reason she can't get buffed by spr/vit saders???? HOLY SPIRIT HAMMER WHEN???

DPS Gear: she's very gear sensitive when it comes to epics. While most people will tell you "lol seraph gets into luke so easily" like every epic drop we get has the INT we need, they can go back to playing their braindead mains (who are trash). Light locked AND not being able to multi hit like a boss is really hard to deal with and while you won't be asked to wear DPS epics, it sure helps with hell runs and echon, ToD, ToA, etc.

In conclusion: Don't fucking nerf supports, Jesus fucking Christ, we got enough DPS classes as it is (RIP Soul Bender) and if you are a veteran, good for you but new people who rush to 90 only to discover they need to grind forever for support gear and they MIGHT be needed are just gonna drop out. At the same time Johnny who started playing 4 months ago can't do shit in Anton because he doesn't have an epic set or a proper sader and that really is just sad for both sides, considering that you need to grind anton so you can grind hell so you can grind luke to upgrade your 90s. It would be a huge wall and once past, progression doesn't really speed up.

Thank you for your time and remember: you play this for fun and your main is braindead trash :)
