RE: Kafra Increase Weight skill
Here's why pet are NOT broken:
If you're under attack from a monster / player which would you rather have: blue gems/fish/pots in your inventory OR in your pet?
If you disconnect, which of the items go away: stuff in your inventory OR in your pet?
Which items can you use: items in your inventory OR in your pet?
Which items can be easily stolen / lost: items in your inventory OR in your pet?
Pets are fine.??On the other hand, giving those soul-linked Stalkers carrying ranked condensed whites another 2000 weight (400 more condensed whites), seems pretty game-breaking in WoE.??There are plenty of other ways in which increasing weight limit changes the metagame, but I thought that to be a nice extreme example.??Giving a PvM player a chance to stay in Abyss 3, or Sphinx 4, or Nameless 3 for 4 or 5 times longer than normal, on the other hand, really isn't a big deal.??Pets are a time-saver, while increasing a characters base weight limit is game-changing.
EDIT: For those who still don't get why adding +2000 base character weight is abusable... Carrying an extra 400 Ranked C. Whites into WoE means an additional 195,000 HP worth of healing AT LEAST (that's assuming 1 VIT, no pot-efficiency skills, and minimum healing from each potion) per run into a castle. God, I changed my mind, let's implement this - Albus would almost never die in WoE.
- Albus Dumbledore 99/70 Professor - Albus DumbIedore 92/59 Professor
- AIbus Dumbledore 93/50 Wizard - AIbus DumbIedore 1/1 Novice
- Astaroth 99/70 Creator - Dawkins 99/70 Creator
- Exemplar 98/69 Paladin - Equitas 80/47 Paladin
- Mephistopheles 95/65 Lord Knight - Shogo Kawada 97/67 Stalker
