Infection and subs/bosses

[Hwarang]

Just wondering why infection isn't able to be used against bosses and subs it massively hinders tao's and means u take a rediculous amount of time to kill them even with fairly decent gear, all other damage spells work against all mob just not this one.

Simple.
To stop you from infecting them then using trans.
If you were able to, it would be a massive advantage over all other classes.

 

[Hwarang]

while i agree with your point kinda doesnt make much sense to stop an advantage by making u greatly disadvantaged though =/ maybe bosses should see through trans

Then how are you going to hide from view at the worst moment? So you can Res your mates

its so yo cant solo a boss, maybe

This was talked about back when I played and there was a number of reasons as to why it doesn't work on bosses. But the main one was simply to slow down soling a boss.

To my understanding from when I played everything up to Dragons abyss was soloable by a Taoist. But then they buffed some of the older bosses, to inspire grouping Taoists have always been a support class in Mir so them killing substantially slower than the other 3 is completely understandable as they have the least trouble finding a group for the bigger bosses.

Although things could have changed since i left so take what I've said with a pinch of salt.

Support is OK but when u have lifestyle the way it is kinda feels like healer are redundant and the stats they offer are so few compared to the massively inflated numbers makes them feel like only a sub par damage class

The Tao is a support class. ALLWAYS was.

Unfortunately people cried. And now they can out damage a wizard

Every class should bring something to the group nowerdays. No one class should be known as a support class and should be capable of dealing damage equal to other classes.

i agree with the role of a support class but really they should offer something decent with the inflated stats offering 8 dc/mc/sc the same mr/ac and healing that tickles the current health pools feels very lack luster basically tao's role is to stop regen in any hunt i spectate the tao isnt healing or supporting he is just doing sub par damage

May it can be changed to work on subs/bosses but caped at 100 or 200 damage. That way its not op, but usefull in some way.

tao wasnt just a support class. It is a hybrid. Could play battle tao or defensive. NO ONE attacked a high level tao with deva. So wher this support class crap came from I dont know. Once taos got pois cloud they could level Ok as well.

here subs boss cant be infected because infect is very powerful and that ALL mobs over a certain level can see thru trans if infected stops taos from being invincible which is fine.

If they stopped wizards being tanky that would be good too
