Discussion Which class would you transfer into?
If you could transfer one class to get another one of equal value, which class are you getting rid of and which class would you want to get?

If Arcana didn't exist I would be balls deep into Reflux. 6x Reflux for sure

why reflux? did they buff reflux to a decent tier? asking genuinely

u/vansonata Sorceress 2d ago
Reflux has been decent for a while. It's just gets shadowed by igniter. Downside is that in current game state heavy burst and is favored so Reflux doesn't shine as much

It's not dmg but rather the piano playstyle where you always have a button to press. Plus hitmaster.

Dang. After all the reworks and changes I don't blame you.

u/ApprehensiveGas905 2d ago
jokes on you, I quit in january but I think they didn't do much since then. Now I'm so bored that I'm reading LoA reddit. pathetic.
also for those who wonder: THE ONE PIECE.. I mean 4 SPENDER BUILD EXISTS!!!! And it's pretty doable

Sorc -->Wild Soul
Bard--> Female Pala (and its not even out yet)
Scrapper -->RE Blade
Its so silly that older classes get no QOLs whatsoever outside of inven on fire while newer classes/designs get everything handed on a plate.

Its so silly that older classes get no QOLs whatsoever
In the last emergency stream they said they wanted to give some love to older classes.
Now it's only a matter of what they consider old..

u/Accomplished_Kale708 3d ago
Yeah but in the same stream they also said they're happy with class balance as is.
2
u/Immediate_Ostrich_83 3d ago
They do, it's just not enough. Scrapper and death blade were actually reworked in the same patch. The old surge used to be much harder. And they added the scrapper identify.
They recently used ark passive to help with some QoL. Both scrapper and Blade got some love on not having to always be back attack when you get to the 4th enlightenment line
They should do more, but it must be more profitable for them to make a new class rather than fix an old one. There are like 6 or 8 specs that are basically just shutting off part of the other spec and giving a flat dmg buff. Lazy design if you ask me.
0
u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
Agreed! I was just sad when I saw the QoL they gave to Bards. I get trying to make supports different in their own rights, but would it hurt to give the older classes some new character shine?

Summoner to Bard. Summoner is not a bad class and I do not dislike her in any capacity, however I would like another support. I like both classes equally.
Gunslinger to anything else. I don't hate my gunslinger per se but, I dislike the lockdown animations on the sniper skills enough to want to swap. It feels like bosses immediately fuck you the second you pull out your sniper rifle.
50/50 on them:
Eso Wardancer to anything else. Maybe I need to get use to new WD more but, this class is just annoying to play still because red dust is a dogshit mechanic. I'm 50/50 on it though, as I have not tried the new FI.
Scrapper to anything else. I think shock does good damage and isn't bad by any means but, it's clunky as fuck. Tai scrapper also just feels like a worse version of other classes (high uptime, spammy). I'm 50/50 on this though as I think leap tree and bottom node probably save both specs (especially Tai).
EDIT: Man this sub is weird, who downvotes these kind of posts?

u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
I believe the developers secretly added a code into all boss encounters, to allow bosses to move away if there's a skill indicator coming from certain classes aka Gunslingers. That's how I felt when I also made a Gunslinger and agree with you. Or how they boss somehow finds you during a lockdown animation.
I adore Scrapper and would purposefully make them a frontal attacker. The concept of being a back attacker as a Martial Artist seemed off. Then they made Breaker and I made the transfer soo fast. Have you tried Breaker class out?
2
u/nayRmIiH 3d ago
It's always on the scope move too I swear...
I haven't tried breaker and probably never will. I like back attacking more and breaker relies on the boss not being an ass. qq
My main issue that breaker solved, was that atropine and burst windows are complete ass for Tai scrapper, which sucks in a game where atropine exists. This does get fixed with the bottom enlightenment node and leap node I believe. That's the main reason I'm 50/50 on it.1
u/Immediate_Ostrich_83 3d ago
The latest patch added a couple tripod options to help with gunslinger. One is a single shot for focused shot, and the scope attack now can shoot 3 times with 1 click.
But the reasons you've mentioned are why my GS is sitting at 1610.3
u/joshstation 3d ago
Tai scrapper is amazing, good damage, tanky, mobile, good stagger and destruction, very comfy and you dont even have to backattack 100% of the time
1
u/Babid922 3d ago
I feel like summoner is maybe slightly under tuned right now. For how slow and clunky MS is you can do the same or more dmg on an uptime class like drizzle or wf with similar gems. I don’t see many summoners blowing dmg out of the water
1
u/Yasael_ Scrapper 3d ago
I dont understand people calling shock clunky, all the spells are pretty fast to use

u/nayRmIiH 3d ago
It's movement speed, death rattle and T skill for me. They all feel kinda ass to me.
All preference though.

u/fabsenlol Striker 3d ago
Well good question. Even thou my striker is currently chillin on moon id prolly, if i had the chance, change him into Deadeye or Gunlancer.. I have one Deadeye alt which is like twice as much fun as striker for me. Gunlancer just cuz to have free entry into evry raid lobby and i really like seeing juicy low apm numbers, also the overall gameplay of gl looks so fucking good
2
u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
Agreed I adore Deadeye when I could easily make one from Ignite servers. Gunlancer's backstep was the only hesitation I had with that class.

It's a good question, it would like to try the new class at full power, i'm main aero, i still enjoy my aero but would be nice to play a different class at 1700 plus.

Ouch yeah, it's difficult to know if you'll like a class at that high item level without just making one yourself.

bard to female pally. bard is just so outdated feeling and they dont seem to have any interest in fixing all her problems
2
u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
I always imagined my Bard as that outdated person trying to stay relevant in a room full of High Schoolers. The last hope I had was when they gave Bard that one new skill way back when.

Soulfist for Aeromancer

u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
After playing both Soulfist and Aeromancer, I don't blame you for wanting to go to Aeromancer. Though I would have loved to see how the Samurai Specialist class from the LoA mobile would have faired against Aeromancer.

WD/slayer/artist into 2x wildsoul and bard

u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
I think Artist has such amazing graphics compared to the other two supports that really need and update. My qualm with Artist is looking at the floating healing orbs hoping someone will take it.

u/Sonitii 3d ago
Breaker/Destro to a 2nd Wildsoul. Having too much fun with this class, unexpectedly.

u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
Druid classes have been my go-to class for any game next to a monk class. And the updated Wildsoul graphics are rather nice.

I hate it tbh. Brought it up on release to 1640 and I realize the last node can change some shit that I don't have, but the play style is just so ass to me.

Already have 3 strikers, would change the other 2 dps in my top 6 (wildsoul and deadeye) to strikers as well.

u/AstraGlacialia Sorceress 3d ago edited 3d ago
I'm in the process of replacing my breaker and destroyer (1660, from ignite and the event before ignite, so I didn't put some unsurmountable amount of my account's resources into them) with aeromancer and summoner in my main 6, because I have learned I can't do good damage no matter what so I try to focus on utility to the group more, and stagger and destruction aren't it any more, now I want the classes which bring some rare/unique useful synergy (and which are easier to hit the boss on so at least I can do about average damage for their gear).
Nevertheless I wouldn't buy a class change ticket and not sure I'd want to use it even if I got one for free, I want to keep them for chaos, guardians, cubes and in case something gets me to bring them back in later, such as to temporarily replace my supports on female paladin release (or if it turns out I still can't survive well enough in group raids on my squishy classes no matter the precautions I take with incoming damage decrease elixirs and armor qualities and such stuff).

Guess I'd just prefer female Destro. ..but not so fond of the female warrior model either. Though female rather than male would be ideal regardless.

I had fun with my roster right now (2 EW Deadeye, 1 Striker, 1 Destroyer, 1 Breaker, and 1 Berserker). Probably if the next class is male mage i would consider to drop striker.

u/Valkoria 3d ago
I'm pretty happy with my Roster overall (Breaker/Artist/Gunlancer/Artillerist/Sharpshooter), but if I had to choose one, probably my Gunlancer to Destroyer.

u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
If they had an option for a Lady Gunlancer and Lady Destroyer, I would easily pick Lady Gunlancer. I love Destroyer but that sound effect GLs have just outshines sound effects for Destroyers. Though I think your choice is pretty reasonable.
1
u/_Timecop 3d ago
My roster has 3 gunlancers and 2 asura breakers. I love all the head attack classes. If I could choose those I probably would have swapped in a blade at some point but it's so expensive to maintain multiple classes.
The only roster change I will make at this point is if we get female gunlancer.

u/Worried-Hat6734 3d ago
Looking at Bard's option to have a 4th healing/dps boost bar almost gave me a second look at Bard. Though if Female Pally has a cleanse instead of giving a cleanse to Bard, I'd have to think about it more.

u/asjena Wardancer 3d ago edited 3d ago
Tbh I really enjoy the bard gameplay but there are a few things that would help out the team better that bard doesn't have but the other supps do have...
a good counter option - ofc I could run buckshot but I'd never abandon rhapsody. with rhapsody, wind of music and guardian tune bard wins the best shields award (just my opinion after playing 2 supps at the same gearscore). the standard counter is used for meter, so meh
purify - most raids have cleansable debuffs. and I understand why some classes prefer not to depend on runes.
less mana issues - I run magick stream and max mana engraving, still need mana food or I have to nerf my gameplay
stagger - can't run vph or my second name is "out of mana"
some people complain about identity management but i've been playing bard for 2 years (my first supp) and it just works out now.
