View Full Version : WA vs FS



Spur

time for a new debate. this will be about WA vs FS all skills at lvl 20 , both lvl 180 , equivalent gear / title for pvp only!

time to discuss with facts only please

ok lets say these were their gear and if anyone thinks these arent fair speak out

bof7 x2
vamp7 x2
eof8
kred
vital4
forcy amp suit /boot /glove +11
7/40 osm helm +9
merg ring
rof10 x2

now for the things that are different
FS gets rof x1 , 14amp sword+11 , 14amp crystal+11
WA gets rol2 x1 , 14/32 gs+11

now all we need is a lvl 180 FS and WA to give me their stats if they had the above

yup


lvl180 WA and lvl180 FS both naked, with NPC weapons, WA I guess would win....bout the only way both would be equally geared, at least wep wise.

yup

from what ive seen, FS have the same, if not greater base attack than WAs plus ridiculous CR and damage.

smack yourself for the base attack comment.

Equal grade weapons, of course WA has higher base attack. In real world, from what ive seen, both WA and FS have close base attack.

Lol? If they don't crit they don't crit, you can have 60% rate and never crit. I've had 52% rate and didn't crit once in a round of 5 pvps.

ok heres the deal

HP : wa has max 300 more hp than FS
base attack : about the same
crit dmg: FS has way more than Wa
amp: FS has way more than WA
Def: Fs has about 100 more def than WA

NOt to mention FS's new skill > Wa's new skill

so u tell me which one is better.

lol...wa has like 600 more hp than fs

wa's have higher attack because they dont have to use an xtal, so wa=WAY higher using the same wep grades not to mention soul blade

cd fs does have more

amp lol??? using the same weps both classes have the same amp...

def fs has more but not much more


lets not forget wa's shorts...almost 6k hp with bloody and panic...fs has mb and aod but in aod theyre useless..stand outta range. wa+bloody+panic vs fs in mb...fs gets 1 shot ez

like i said before in guild chat >.>

FS have more def+amp+cd+cr
WA have more HP and that's about it lol

FS skills have 50% crit inc and 100% crit inc
WA skills got nutin'

if both were to pvp 100 times, i'd say FS would win about 60-65 times

all other aspects WA's usually > FS =\

You only have more amp because your weps are dual amp goofball. how do you have more cd with dual amp weps anyway? 80 cd wep on a warrior with a 7/40 = 190 cd...and what almost 1100 attack without rof 10's

were talking about the same gear for both players here...not a "top" wa vs a "top" fs or something..fs have terribad dmg if they dont crit

forumaccount
11-18-2010, 03:19 PM
14/32 gs is not end game gs for wa, u would be talking about 80 dmg forc, which realistically would cost about as much if not less than 2 14 amp weaps for an fs, not to mention it would be easier to + than 2 fs weaps. with that in mind, wa wins majority

yomo
11-18-2010, 03:20 PM
lol spur said to compare a 14/32 forc so heres the stats bro

FS
45 cd from buff, 20 base, 40 helm, 31 rings, 10 from board, 10 from ammy=156

WA
32 from gs, 20 base, 40 helm, 21 rings, 10 from board, 10 from ammy= 133

since when Wa has 600 hp more than FS lol
i have 4.2 k hp at 180 so darkD suppose to has 4.7k hp? (not counting title)
and everybody know Wa cant use AMP GS , therefore their amp gonna be lower than FS
even with 80 DMG GS, wa wont get more crit dmg than FS
base attack: most of the wa using osm grade and redosm while FS using 2x forcy wepons so i would say the same
and FS has 100 def than a WA, thats not litle, and remember 100 def> 400 hp
and FS's new skill > wa's new skill big time...

11-18-2010, 03:30 PM
lets also keep in mind that FS crits alot than WA
more crits = Great chances of winning

yomo
11-18-2010, 03:30 PM
actually wula, you got 4.2k hp with HR12 and dark has 4.7 with HR16, therefore, WA only have 300ish more hp than FS

WA
32 from gs, 20 base, 40 helm, 21 rings, 10 from board, 10 from ammy= 133

this is how i see it.
WA
rate = 45
cd = 132
amp = 65
atk = 1250
def = 1200
hp = 4800?

FS
rate = 53
cd = 155
amp = 79
atk = 1100
def = 1300
hp = 4200?

so in the end its 8rate 22cd 14amp 100def vs 150atk 600hp sry im going for the WA

yomo
11-18-2010, 03:39 PM
LOL how does the WA have 4800 and FS have 4200?

we all know that below 50 rate = huge disadvantage

elvie
11-18-2010, 03:39 PM
wa does not have 600 more hp. And, 45 rate vs 14 + honor rank = wa lose 75% the time.

forumaccount
11-18-2010, 03:39 PM

wat is with u and ur idea that fs always crits more often than wa? a fully geared wa can have as much cr as any fs, unless fs magically has a buff that increases max crit rate


we're comparing cost, we're comparing which class would win more often in a pvp with "equal" gears

equal cost is pretty much saying equal gear isnt it? in my books dual 14 amp weaps for fs gives about the same benefit to fs as 80 dmg weap gives a wa

yomo
11-18-2010, 03:40 PM
how the hell does equal gear= equal cost? wizards need to spent like 3x more alz to do just decent in pvp against other classes...

Going to point out that an fs using SG-SS-SB will always win against that warriror assuming that 2 of those skills crit. The same cannot be said of a 3 skill combo for warrior, so the fs is more consistent.

gonna point out that to crit 2 out of 3 u need a 66% chance to crit which u dont have so it cant be consistant

there's no way to prove it unless you actually get an FS with the gear you mentioned and pvp against a WA with the gear you mentioned 100 times

and besides lol, i'd rather bet on the guy with 100% and 50% added cd on their skills when they have 53 rate rather than the guy with average skills with 45 rate, just sayin'

elvie
11-18-2010, 03:45 PM
45 rate vs 14+ hr = 42 rate

53 rate vs 19 hr = 45 rate

being a wa with 45 rate, i can tell you it's no where near enough for 1234 pvp.

ss and sg are only the best IF they crit, ss is by far the most pathetic comp skill if it doesnt
u can argue that they crit most of the time, but until u can pull up 100% cr sw>ss in overall dps with a faster cast time and more consistent dmg

i already gave my justification, wheres yours? o wait u dont have one, like i said ss is crit or die, sw not so much

DPS is depend on how fast u cast ur skill, If ure using SS before SG it will decrease ur DPS,
so it has to be a finisher for best DPS combo

you have to understand that for a warrior to even compete with a wizard's dps, it has to be in bloody spirit which obviously isn't always possible depending on the area the warrior happens to be in.

the wa used a reflex pot instead of sharp pot to stay in bloody the entire bm2, thats all i remember. wa is about equal to wiz for soloing bosses if u can keep bloody on the whole time, which u can certainly do against pluma given the proper circumstances

that's easy though.. and I know I mean.. im darrkd

*wizards don't or shouldn't even need pots for survivabilty

but for example a wizard would take a dump on a warrior in ca5 for example. see what im sayinggggg?

was just pointing out that wa can solo pluma about as well as wi can, and that saying fs is better than wa at soloing pluma is, well......

yeah I see what you mean about wa > fs pve. but for a wa/wiz comparison... I have to give even the slightest edge to wiz.


another scenario on pluma would be no pots and no deaths(odd circles)

meaning pluma would not die in one bm and on the second session of bm warrior's dps would be a joke compared to the equivalent wizard. no panic or bloody.. or any shorts for the warrior period.

So are the FS and WA using the same weapons? or is it current times with FS using forcy weapons and WA's with 80 dmg osm.

What about in sod/ft1/dx dungeons?
* Note: No unlimited SP, just enough to keep running the place until you get bored and no GPS warping to party randoms between runs.

what lol.

you're going from a endgame solo area to a dungeon scenario in which lv 130s can begin soloing.. if you are asking about those lower level dungeons and going to compare wi vs wa, it varies

180 wa vs 180 wi (sod/ft1/dx) = about on par given the warrior is using bloody spirit efficiently.

130 wa vs 130 wi (sod/ft1/dx) = most likely same outcome as 180 wa vs 180 wi in ca5 where the wiz has the edge.

breaking crap down for ppl isn't my usual thing I hope you get the idea of what im saying overall :s

Yeah I get what you're saying. Basically I'm torn between a WI and WA. I have a 151 WI already but I was going to re-roll and get a full weod setup for one of the 2 classes. Was looking to find the class (between those 2 only) who perform the best in solo/duo dungeon and boss running.

I think it's safe to say both classes can do well in the NW.

but yeah both do well in nw.

depends on what you want to be a part of once you're 170-180.
likeee I mean both classes have potential to do great things in dungeons and tank. depends on the difficulty of exactly what you are doing..
give me some examples of what dungeons/bosses/activites u wanna involve your char in and I'll try to help and give advice on the pros and cons of each class..

I want pizza hut.

I guess my goal would be to get to 160-170:

1. Be able to run sod/ft1/dx dungeons solo as fast as possible without needing to party people for SP between runs and still be able to run it fast (I guess 1-2 bars per run at the most?).
2. Be useful in a duo/trio for the harder dungeons (ic1/2/aos1/2/ft2/etc.).
3. Be able to kill derk/rota/quadra efficiently. Pluma is whatever, it'll be a long time until I can afford forcy amp armors.
4. Be able to solo (if possible?) the new CA because the miracle keys will eventually be used up yeah?
5. Not be a gimp in the NW. I probably won't go crazy here, just get rank 11 and then maybe join once in a while for fun.

Maybe level past 170 slowly, etc.. Pizza hut doesn't sound too bad.

Edit:
To me being able to run a dungeon in 12 minutes instead of 14 minutes would be a big deal. Enough where if I were to level to 160+ and find out a different class can do it in less with the same gear I would probably re-roll.

Chris7
11-19-2010, 10:51 AM
eh id say go with wizard.. overall they have one of the greatest potentials in pve and dungeon running. plus you won't have to worry about finding a wizard when running a dungeon in a party :D

yeah.. wizard for sure. if I had another chance, that's what I'd be

Yeah not having to find a WI for duos is a pretty nice perk and maybe down the line buying a voucher every month for GPS would be reasonable.

So if both classes were ultra decked out with weod weaps and CD/amp the WI would still run those dungeons faster over time without spamming 5 bars of SP per run?

Chris7
11-19-2010, 10:59 AM
most likely yeah.. wizards have high nature dps + the best mobility. pretty sure a wizards what you're looking for.

I just remember partying with random WAs (like blondinet) with unknown gear and looking at the bosses HP in a place like eod2 and thought to myself "wtf". Like, that whirlwind skill when it crits does the most insane damage ever. It probably did the same damage as my WI in BM2 doing a full bar's worth of skills.

Also I remember a crazy WA in weod who took away like 30% of a bosses HP in 1 WW. It felt like the WA did literally 5x my DPS at the time (I had total newbie gear on and he had full 7% amp armors and some +7 non-perfect gs).

I noticed mobility seems to become less and less useful as the dungeons get more difficult and also becomes a non-issue when partying since you would have to wait for everyone to catch up. At that point DPS/damage becomes more useful than mobility. Sure blink is amazing for LID and maybe EoD but I recall hearing/seeing FAs who can wipe the floor with a WI's dungeon times in sod or above.

Would you still pick a WI if FA is also an option?

I was hesitant to go back to my 140 FA (first character) because it requires like 1.2b minimum for 2x +8 amp forcy orbs to not be total garbage.

Who would win in this setup @ level 170 for the above scenarios between an FA and WI?

WI: 2x +12 7/40 Pher Orbs, 48% CR, 205% CD, 36-42% AMP
[cost: 1b to reach 42% amp everything else is essentially free, not counting upgrade costs to +12 for 2 weaps]

FA: 2x +8 7% M.Amp Orbs, 45% CR, 85-101% CD, 54% AMP
[cost: 1.2b for the orbs and 1b to go from 85% to 101% CD]

The FA can still improve by getting +11 orbs eventually, and probably can get 50% more CD eventually but the cost for the 50% extra CD is just ridiculously unrealistic.

Not just that but you also need a 7/40 helm to hit that CR/CD (3 dmg rings) lol.

The +12 scares me a little but if you brute force enough ucm/enhanced cores it'll goto +12 eventually. It's getting the orbs that I fear. +10 would also be very respectable until you had a lot of alz saved up to go into an upgrading frenzy.

+12 Pher is basically a +6 7/40 Topaz or I guess a +9 7/40 Lapis after factoring in a loss of 6 damage from dex while still allocating enough dex for forcium armor. I'm guessing it would give similar damage to a +9ish 7/34 Topaz.
