*~~European vs Chinese~~*

Post by NightzKidz »

I've been wondering so much since I started an European character, I mean OK so the Chinese can go NUKEZ0RXZ and make a crazy damage. But features for the European don't allow, I mean, it is not possible to build a nuker for the European (from what I know) so then, does that mean Europeans don't need to build a successful nuker with several masteries to make a crazy hit like a Chinese nuker?

I'll appreciate if you vote for which faction (European or Chinese) is stronger and better (skills, gears, etc).

P.S: I want a kickass and shiny looking character by the way.

As I said from a reply below: I don't really care about teaming up, I've been a lone wolf all my SRO life, I just really don't care :P.

Now that you mention it, but do you really think it's equal, I mean fair between both?

You also know that Euro and Chinese can party with each other and team up with each other too. Just letting you know.

Its perfectly damn equal.

If you use your skills as a Euro you can pretty much override the pot spam.

For example, for a high burst dmg class like a Rogue or a Wizard, all you have to do is either A) Jump out with stealth attack buff on with your biggest hitters + poison, or B) Lead with Combustion\Fear (Combustion is good for Bladers and Glavie, and Fear is good for Nukers (Autoattack only ^_^).

Sword 1h/2h warriors can easily just KD attack, and Axes.. well I'd say they are the bladers of Euro.

Warlocks need a high BR shield and should lead with all DOT's, to threaten their pots (every time the DOT's "tick" it will either = or be > their pots.)

Clerics also need a high BR shield, and their timers (basically strong buffs that last a short amount of time. I.E the spell that puts shields around you.) imo Offering\Pure Offering is a SHTF (Shit hits the fan) spell. When the chips are down, and everyone is rooting for the other team, you can pop heal and use this bad boy to take guys out. Otherwise use absolute damage spells for the SoSun\SoMoon users, and regular hits for the +3/+5/SOS guys.

Bards.. yeah.. you'd better find a PT. You're better when you're dancing or playing music. your damage is okay on the whole, but, most classes will take you out.

No seriously, Bards are pretty good in PvP. With Guard Tambour\Mana Tambour you can eat some serious damage and still be standing. +HP on your gear is strongly recommended though, your burst damage is low, and even with level 80(I think) version of Mana Tambour on you will still get smacked around significantly by a full Sun 80 nuker.

I like chinese better, although I think Euro is much easier to level because of the lack of sp needed. For example..I have a level 29 2H Sword Warrior/Bard..If I keep my bard mastery a few levels behind..I don't think I will ever have to farm. However in chinese you really need to farm at some point whether its at 16 or 80 or anywhere in between, you will need to unless ur gap is quite big.

Both are nice... Europe will own the China but in mine opinion China is more fun. I don't like the quest in Europe, most of time a quest exists out of 4 parts before you can get the next quest. I also like the weapons and cloth better (I thought Europe was going to have super sweet clothes but in mine opinion it's crap.) so I stick with mine pure int sword character :D to kick some Europeans asses ^^

How can you say that Europe is better than China? Because of some videos in Youtube? I have seen that bower takes out several lvls higher mage with 1 hit, but of course i don't know their gear or anything, but because of i saw that I'm not telling everyone that euro sucks and bower is god.

well i am lvl 64, and yesterday ive had a pvp with a 2handed european, same level :p
what can i say =) i killed him 3 of 4 times, and the one time he killed me i didnt use the mana shield, though i dont think it would save me, cause hes damage was 10k O_o without crit, afterwards he couldnt make it again, it was close to 2-3k without crit and 6k with crit, (i have 6.7k hp) , well while using mana buffs he cant do nothing, unless he actually gets lucky and so this 10k damage ;) and wondering what will be with crit =]

btw hes items werent upgraded as mine, and i couldnt damage him more than 2.5k when he fully self buffed but after the buffs went off i could do 4k damages with nukes , (and they seem to stand up faster after kd than china O_O)
well with a sos 2h and good set probably i would get 1 crited all the time ;)

God, this is so hesitating, should I go on with my Dagger/XBow rogue or get back to my Chinese spearman?

Okay as far as I went in my research, I finally got my answer.

Now there is one last thing I wanna ask, European or Chinese's gears are better looking?

Edit: Nevermind, I got my answer on the official website. European's gear = crap comparing to Chinese, but well everybody have their own point of view, that's mine.

Euro Gears are sicker... Their skill graphics are cooler too...

I have to give it to euro as well... Even without party buffs... Just Wow... LoL!

I was at the sungsungs and there was this armored glaiver there, maybe ~2 lvls higher then me...judging by the armor...

And I watched...curiously...at the time he was hitting for around 200-350 points more damage then I was...being one-handed sword I shrugged it off...thats one of the sacrifices I made...but I was taking almost a third of the damage he was from normal attacks...and thats if I didn't block it...

I am satisfied with my euro char :)

I just want a strong and good-looking char that's all, I find things better this way. Poser? You're kidding me. Beside, it's not the fact that everyone said so that I decide to be like that, I made my own research after this, and jumped into the conclusion. I don't care about the crowd and don't intend to follow them, I just wanted people's opinion. So watch what you say and mind your words before barking out loud, shows how ignorant your are.

And so from MY OWN point of view, I find chinese characters better.

R-tards...
