Wizard items durability

[Mythra]

I very much doubt I'm the only one who has noticed how much lower durability our items have compared to items in the same tier.





This server is very much different from the norm, that much we all know.

- Warrior items have always had higher durability because they're always being hit but that's not how it works here, warriors only need to take care of their weapon.
- Taos have always been somewhere in the middle but they never really cared about item durability because the pets do the tanking (I might be wrong because I don't play a tao here)
- Sins... I'm really missinformed here but from what I've been told they would normally stack agility and mobs would miss them most of the time
-Wizards are supposed to kite the lure, positioning themselves to not take many hits.

Note that I'm talking from my point of view as a wizard and I'd like to know how the other classes are faring but as a wizard I'm constantly rotating between my rings because they don't last more than 2h in Snow where we're being constantly hit and very quick at that.

The suggestion would be to increase the durability of those 4/4 superior items that are incredibly expensive to repair so that we don't need to have 2 or 3 pairs of rings because of the lenghty wait time for special repair. 6/6 like most necklaced would really come in handy.

At snow, dura get rekt fast due to werewolf GFE, requires multiple gears if you'll level continuously. I remember way back in Banya Temple. i made 2 sets of ice gear (no banyo back then )

For me as a warrior the durability on War items is ok (except Gale set which seems somewhat low? In fact a lot of the pre level 20 superior items have poor duras) if I'm hunting in JP they take little to no damage and only require repairing once a day.

If I'm hunting anywhere else they require repairing every 3-4 hours usually at a SR cost of 500k+ because I mainly hunt in JP accessory repairs thankfully are not that big of an issue.

Do the Wizard items get better durability as you move up into the level 40, 50 and 60 items? As in is it only the lower level ones that are plagued by the durability issue? Obviously I'm aware you're going to get the standard "you're a Wizard, you shouldn't be getting hit" responses.

Yes they do but only to 5/5 dura at lvl 42+ items.

As for those who say "you're a wizard, you shouldn't be getting hit"... They clearly don't play a wizard nor have observed one leveling un snow

As a Sin I was running three kits when I was off work and hunting the majority of the day, now that I'm back at work I can manage on only 1-2 sets of kit. I understand your frustration but money needs to exit the game somewhere (SR Costs) and since wizards have the highest levelling potential I believe the dura amount should remain the same as it then means an additional factor comes into play if you want to sustain extensive levelling each day (Required to build multiple kits).

Most likely not the answer you were wanting but each class needs to have something in place that they are required to overcome or the game would just become a cake walk.

With these recent changes it's not as easy/cheap as before to have a proper backup kit plus you would need more than one because 4/4 rings last for 2h in Snow. I do understand your point tho, but 2h is no extensive period of leveling and you can't possibly ask someone to have 4 sets of gear when each piece is worth 4m and each repair ranges from 350 to 600k if all the gear is broken.

I know the money has to exit the game and all that but you do the maths... feeding the pig, repairing every 2-3h, where do you even get time to level up? this was not a problem before because you could just get cheap items and upgrade them with att but that is no longer viable if you don't want to hit like a wet noodle. You can't assume everyone can play 10h+ a day to be able to afford the basic necessities.
