I would also rather see a ToH with more varied cooky-cutter parties like a , heal, lure, wiz, bragi instead of a bunch of do-the-same-thing Snipers.
Bottom line, ToH is unbalanced and lame. There is nothing fun or enjoyable about it. People just show up with their powerhouse solo characters to get the ToH wings. The point of Ragnarok is to create characters that support each other in parties not characters that can solo through high-end monsters. I think GM's can do a better job of balancing ToH if they wanted to.
All I read is "This sucks, I can't score enough points on my HP in ToH, and I don't want to play an offensive job!" which leads to "I want a party in ToH so I can mooch off a killer!".??ToH has gives lots of pity points to support classes and classes that just can't solo.??The event is a "Trail" for a reason, it puts one individual to the test, and it's obvious that not all classes are meant for it.
Name me one RPG that is COMPLETELY balanced in every single event/game mode/etc.??There are VARIOUS options to ToH other than sniper (it's just the easiest to use), you could easily go on a bolter prof, WS, creator, Sinx, Soul Linker, LK, Paladin, there are lots of options, even Ninja, GS, Champ and Stalker can do well.??RO is not a fair game, it's never been, and if you really want to go in with your support job, then modify your tactic; Make a battle HP, put a bit more VIT on your HW, try an aspd Star Glad, or pick up a Clown/Gypsy and try it.
Comparing Trial of Heroes with a PT test (physical fitness test) is completely reasonable, since that's what the Trials are in my honest opinion.??Using all your wits and resources to beat what ever they throw at you, if you can't manage to score enough on your own, then I'm sorry to say, you're just doing it wrong.
