    NC gone crazy again and pumped more power to Aion when my Dell could only handle it with the medium settings with chops and lags from time to time now I wonder how much of the settings will it be handling for me to play with my Chanter after they bring these extra settings in which I am tempted to get another laptop more now to play it with all of it's power :(

    I'm glad that they've changed it though even that they were giving me more problems on playing with my Chanter on all of the game's power, I will still be playing my Chanter with even more graphics :)

    (THE SUBJECT OF THE THREAD IS ABOUT AION NOT ANY OTHER GAME SO PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THOSE 2 OTHER GAMES OR ANY OTHERS)

    Ye! in Korea though

    I was also playing as an Asmodian Spirit Master until I reached level 30 and got bored but when I gave the Elyos a try as a Chanter, I gave the game a second chance since I felt lots of difference between the nature, the culture, the lore, the style and the quests of the Elyos and the Asmodians especially that playing as an Elyos felt like Heaven and playing as an Asmodian felt like Hell :)

    You should try an Elyos Assasin or Chanter, they're pretty nice to play with since I find the Gladiators and the Spirit Masters to be so boring :(

    You should also download the new patch that's been released 3-4 days ago that had new things and fixes

    A Ranger could be fine though I am not that experienced with the Rangers and the Sorcerers so I have nothing to say but you could always give the Assasins and the Chanters a try as well

    The Chanters are not what you may think of them to be by the way since many think of them to be healers like the Clerics but their job is to support everyone in the group even by damage and you could solo many things and defeat 2-3 Asmodians at the same time if you knew how to play with one

    I hope you will experience the same too :)

    Yea but since the game is all about PvP end game im considering that side more and from what ive seen melee dps fail vs a skilled caster. Take which ever ranged u want, sorcerer ? 3 types of cc, SM, a fear and a snare they can keep it on you 24/7, even clerics got a 6 sec cd root on a 10sec cd :p

    Add that with the fail design of waiting for the skill animation to complete in order to move and you get a really nice baked fail as a melee, especially glads. Till the animation of some moves finish the target is always 10 steps ahead, and considering you both have the same +speed items theres no way catching up :p

    ps: ow nice, according to Consecrated's video they added a swim feature :p

    The Gladiator may have a problem against a caster but keep the Chanters away from the list of other melee cause of these reasons:

    1) They have mantra skills made for fighting against the casters
    2) They have heals even though their armor is enough and other survivability skills
    3) They have skills which help them remove the movement impairing effects and those you listed that are casted by the casters (even the Assasins due to their stealth and other skills)

    The Gladiators will be fixed since it's the only melee class that has people whinning about so much in the forums :)

    The design will be fixed in the next patch for the Gladiators but the Chanters are not having that problem at the moment

    According to Consecrated's video they added a swim feature, they added mounts, they added many new places, they added many new features and they have done a major increase in the graphics :)

    From what i recall chanters in my legion whined about not having a snare since a good kiter is impossible to hit :p

    Did those features already implemented in korean servers ? Or they are still testing them ?

    Chanters do have snares and they get one of them from level 3 or 6 and also have skills which remove the movement impairing effects and they also have healing over time skills that help them to survive while being kited

    I wonder what was their problem to create a lie to escape with for not liking their class or for wanting you to feel sympathy over them

    If you go through the Sorcerers forum, you'll find that one of the most annoying melee classes to kite for them are the Chanters

    All I know is that the update has been officially announced to be released in a coming patch

    But I am not telling you that casters and ranged characters are bad I am just saying that things are more balanced for the melee classes other than the Gladiator at the moment :)

    If you'd like a ranged class then I wouldn't mind since they're also fun to play with but one thing you should know is that the Spirit Masters could be boring from (my point of view)

    I know not much about the Rangers but they seem fun since all of the Rangers I meet are happy with their class and the Sorcerers could also be fun since I haven't yet met any Sorcerer whining about their class but they're not my type from how I know them

    Rangers seem to be soloing elites 24/7 to lvl up :p

    I was wondering how my friend was so pissed and telling me he got killed by a Sorcerer by 2-3 hits that time :D

    The Chanters have skills that slow their enemies or make them land on the ground when they're flying and that's one of the things I love my Chanter for :)

    The Rangers are the best class for kiting, that's why! ;)

    Thats a nice skill in abyss lol :p For glads is the other way around, some skills get disabled when we fly and sadly that ability is pretty crucial in getting the killing blow (the one that throws you up in the air and hits you back to the ground if u happen to see it) :p
