Taoists are a support class, if you want to mass kill and do high damage. Make a wizard.

That's not a well-thought-out sentence. Next thing you will say is: I invented PC/ES/Plague so the taoist support-healme-buff me will cease to exist.

Go cry to the Koreans or leave if you don't like how mir is.

So I have made some adjustments to PC (not loads but some :P)...

Level 3 PC with 80 odd SC gets an average of 30-60 Damage (no higher than 60 with SC 83), but can still have bad hits of like 5-10 Damage.

Occasionally you still get a non damager, dependants on the spot (much the same as FW), which I imagine is a bug with the way FW is coded, but it is a relatively low priority fix considering it doesn't happen often now.

Overall I am happy it with it now, sorry it didn't go in 100% on Sunday, I had ran out of time ><.

If u was playing early days of Dragon Server you would know how this class was without the skills "PoisonCloud/EnergyShield/Plague". A walking potion it was called. I think you still consider yourself to be that.
It isn't clear what you mean here. The early days of Red Dragon server on the silly USA version? The early days of Dragon server on euromir? Think you mean USA because as I keep having to say Poison Cloud/Field was never on euro. The USA version was based on the newer Korean files but tweaked for customer gratification. The new Korean version is part of the online gaming as money maker system. This is based on euro mir.

I was referring to Euro Mir hosted by italians DigitalBros. Ofcourse it didn't had any PC/PF skills. Basically a walking pot for some. For others a toll to solo ZT.

Thanks for pointing out, the names are similar.

I wouldn't have called Taos "walking pots" on euro. They still had curse and deva which could make a big difference in a fight and against mobs. I would still consider them a support class primarily though and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Why denigrate euro taos? I know several who could solo DD, ZT, RME, BL, MTK without poison cloud, energyshield, plague. They were the famously good ones. One reckoned the only reason he couldn't solo OK was because he ran out of pots. I watched him and supplied the pots he needed to finish. Agreed this was near the end of the server but before the fakeGM/hax happened. Not walking pot holders at all - if they knew what they were doing.

Nothing wrong with being support class, but the tao isn't resumed to only that.

I see the tao more like the Necromancer from Diablo 2. If you plaid D2 you'll know what I mean.

Of course. And I don't think they are really. But equally I don't think their damage levels should be comparable to wizzies and warriors. Not far behind, perhaps, but remember that taos have a lot of advantages that other classes do not.

The dmg lvl is half of a wiz and I don't even want to get started about warrior. The way tao class is now is perfect for me and I am impatient to see the next skills.

Balancing skills in any game is titanic job. There will always be the unhappy ones but at the end if the glass is almost full and not empty you have accomplished something.

All we need is Turn Undead taken from Wizards and given to us Taos :P

That would be more logical but that's the way mir is I guess. We got to take things for granted from Chinese/Koreans and reduce them to something that isn't as powerful as to 1 hit kill in pvp combat.

I have always said that TU sounds like a tao spell, but my wizzy wouldn't want to relinquish it :D

ive been a tao from day one starting on euro beta. we are a support class but why not have some decent damage dealing skills as well? solo hunting i always went dc and did well (stupid UE on this server sucks!), in grps go sc for support. would be nice to have some variation besides sfb..that skill gets old. thats just me though :)

You confusing this with USA. AT moment no they haven't. It might be here when new content added. I assume it wont be as stupidly powerful as it was on USA or if it is it will be adjusted.

The hybrid tao was lost somewhere in the korean development process sadly.
