LA Guard job ac boost

Post by Wolfarus »

Was this taken out recently, like in the past month or so? Just completed all 3 lvls of the job, which puts me at master guard level. I should have a total of +3 to my ac (+1 at 2nd job lvl, and an adit. +2 when you get to master). But my ac is still where it was when i first started the job.

Something to do with my subrace, perhaps? (Earth Genasi)

probably because the ac is of a type you already have +3 of (deflection i think, but could be armour), so it doesn't stack with the same AC from an item.

I seem to remember getting the +3 to my ac on shadowfang, when he did the job. I was using the same set of gear that my new guy was using..

Only diff is that shadow is pure human, no subrace

I just mastered this job also and do not see the +2AC boost either. I stripped out all my armor and items just to be sure, and naked AC still doesn't have the +2.

The AC is vs. Chaotic me thinks so it doesn't really show up on your Character Sheet.

to generalize...the AC from the job bonus is essentially useless :wink:

LA does have some of the most worthless job bonuses in the game for example: due to duration changes on the messange tolken...

but let me not get into that :evil:

from what i have see the job bonus's from RK seem to be the best, infact i think they rival pure class fighter bonus's.

negative to oppents ac/ab and super uber kd ability which kd's everything in a raidus for a heck of a long duration.

and i think there is a damage aura of some type, or DR

The DC on that "super uber kd ability" is 30 for willl. KDs everything, it rarely works on that DC in PvP. Useful low-levels though.

No damage aura, just a +1d4 sonic against neutrals if underground.

The Minemaster rod doesn't give a negative to AB, just AC. It gives negative to opponet AC and plus to user AB.

No DR either, stop making things up to get us nerfed sheesh.

It also sucks Dex from enemy targets, which is probably how mgrjebbo lost his AB in addition to AC. I'm pretty sure whichever toon I was fighting was a Dex build.

aye this is a fact.

as for DR i was just guessing lol, cant ever tell which of you guys is a defender.

anyways i belive it is true that your jobs bonus's do indeed rival that of pure fighter bonus's.

and i dont want yours nerfed. maybe just make pure bonus better for fighters, and all to come.

and maybe increase the power of other factions jobs. NC,LA are pretty much garbage after 10th level. the speed boosts durations is too short, and that fact that it wont stack for a monk is well garbage.

the damage bonus and ab is laughable. so i was just comparing rk jobs to the rest. however i dont think you shouldnt have them, i just think everything else needs to be on par with them.

nah, you guys got races to pick from. we got 5 total... you got more than that in the human category. we'll call it even. and that KD item says nothing about an ab or dex drain. and remember when LA was the only place with jobs?
How much for the orangutan?

The item that drains dex is the Miner's Forge, or as fricebottle called it: the Minemaster rod.

// Edit: I stand corrected, the Stalwart Slammer is the item that drains Dex.
