My witch is beautiful and I'm thinking of getting the character appearance pass to alter all of my other characters to have a similar "I survived anime nam" face

As I had mentioned yesterday, I'd be more likely to play barbie if I could mix and match outfits for the set bonus. I like that outfit, but I don't necessarily want to have a pirate hat on all the time, either.
Given that the game doesn't list what things go into a particular set (other than going off names), I don't even know if the weapon 'costumes' set bonus requires the actual outfit set as well, and I'm certainly not going to fork out money to find out the hard way.

Would be nice if there were slight variations between how the outfit looks for the different classes, but I've probably been spoiled by Blade & Soul in this regard. And the curse of the Korean obsession for high heel shoes on everything female continues.

Didn't accuracy offhands get a pretty massive buff in korea recently? You might want to take that into account if you're doing evasion as a gimmick. I'm already starting to enhance an accuracy offhand to use on my sorc when they port the change over.

What's even more fun is rubberbanding back into a wiz/witch stun/lightning/ult after you've visibly escaped it and have max pvp stun res but get stunned 100% of the time even against people with steel daggers that are 3-4 levels lower than u.

I've gotten two full chases off before rubberbanding back into a giant's grab. I don't know how you guys play melee in pvp.

If this is normal, I won't. I just buckled down on starting to level my sorceress so I have at least one 50, but I have a horse wizard on the backburner that I will happily switch to rather than deal with that kind of nonsense.

From what I hear, sorc is actually one of the few classes that mostly positively benefits from desync. Since you're technically dodging around in iframes all the time, it's very hard for people to grab you in the spare moment the server thinks you're stationary.

I've had full on animations of shotgun go off right into people that are standing still from point blank range and it completely misses. I have a +15 tier 2 bronze dagger too so I know I'm not failing a hit roll or anything. Good wizards are drat near just as wiley as sorcs, and they can jump around for free.

Yeah, unfortunately the servers are pretty poo poo (hell, they took the valencia channels down but serendia o2 has been broken for a couple days now). Russia actually had node wars released before they got Mediah but we don't have anything yet because it's so bad. And for some reason the servers are in california even though I think texas is usually a standard choice for NA servers. :rip:

But yeah, I think desync is bad for every class in various ways, it's just most noticeable for grabby classes like zerker that depend on that move going off.

Of course it is worse in towns but not in a significant way.

Do you have an Nvidia? I had a problem like this until I rolled back my driver, but I am not sure if their latest driver has fixed the issue I was experiencing or not.

I've been getting 15-25 FPS when the game is running in the foreground, but when I focus another window or application, the FPS go up to 60 in the background.

I'll try rolling back to see if it helps at all.

You may need more memory. I have 16gb and I regularly see Black Desert consuming half of that... I have no idea why. This happens even when it's running in the system tray. I had to kill it during the Overwatch beta because I would get intermittent stuttering and performance drops while it was minimized, and I'm preeeetty sure the problem wasn't OW

I had this as well on my 970 & 6700k.. I'd get 3-4 seconds of terrible frame stutter.

I think what fixed mine was making the BDO launcher XP SP3 compatibility mode.

Your gear seems fine. It's better than mine if you're in full 15's. Sounds like you just need more practice. Lewtt is going to have a Fight Club for people to have a place to practice and learn this Saturday (I think).

I'm a bit confused on gearing, from a PvE standpoint. On my berserker I'm currently at 102 AP and 161 DP. This is with 2 marks, and 2 witches earrings, +15 ultimate yuria axe, +5 AP topaz neck, +3 AP belt, and a saiyer knot offhand. Improving DP is easy enough, not all my armor is even +15 yet, then I need to upgrade it to ultimate, so that's fine. But AP and accuracy I'm a bit confused about. Everyone says to go saiyer knot, but I think that is with pvp in mind. If I'm not grinding purple mobs, do I really need the DP and accuracy from the saiyer offhand? I want more AP to kill poo poo faster and it seems my avenues for improving AP are all expensive (pri accessories, better belt, ogre ring, liverto/kzarka weapon.) Even if I improved all the accessories, that would be about a +15 AP gain, which would put me at 117 which is still low compared to numbers I hear other people throwing around. The offhand looks like a solid place to improve it by switching to an AP offhand but am I missing something here?

I'm getting to the point that I'm going to finish +15 my gear in the coming week(s) but my accessories I've done a great job ignoring. I'm rocking pri bares/good deed items but I imagine as a warrior I need to do something else.

What I do?

They are badly geared, as bad as me. Also I switched back to plum because I hate myself and it's just more fun in pve than a wizard. Maybe I should try a tamer like bigbo or maybe a valk.

Tamer was a fun distraction for a couple days, but Plum was and is way more fun

I figured with a stun every 8 seconds followed by huge burst the class should be fun in pvp.
