So...lately i've been wondering, what kind of version of L2 is essence running? I mean...KR, RU and EU servers for essence get no "experimentarium", which is quite bad since we'd like to know the heck some stuffs do here. Since korean devs are doing quite a good job in making classes worthless (aka archers w/o paywall or daggers in general, since daggers are probably the most underpowered class in the essence due to the loss of all their debuffs/survival skills, as well as a blow land rate that is probably the worst in L2 history) i'd like to at least know if Classic experiments fits the Essence as well. STR and DEX experiment on daggers are valid for essence as well? MEN experiment for mana regen are valid for essence? Debuff minimum-maximum rate (10-90%) is valid for essence as well? Level advantage giving resist to debuff is valid for essence as well? (Spoiler : probably not. Level 78 bishop is landing sleep and root 100% on a lv 81 so i guess not but...) Any idea? Last time i tried to ask to the support they were so usefull to answer : "this how stats work *copy paste effect of parameters like STR DEX CON that you can read in game*. Anything else you "feel" by increasing or decreasing the stat is up to you!" So actually Lineage 2 is the first game in history that has NO IDEA how the game basic works...i wonder if korean devs has a clue about what they do in the formulas or if they just throw random numbers there and hope something comes up, lol.
the problem with skills/debuffs in Essence and L2 in general is that sometimes they don't tell you exactly how a skill works, so you either figure it out yourself by doing different tests and finding the average values you need, or you just rely on what's written in the skill description. in theory it should be based on Classic, but since they changed many skills and reworked pretty much all classes, i'm not so sure anymore. it could be checked by doing tests about CON and stun land rate, as a start. if changing CON values doesn't affect the stun land rate of some skills, then it should still be based on Classic. but then again, who knows.
Do you understand that this is really stupid and nosense, right? This game is 16 years old and it's totally nosense that WE have to waste hard earned adenas to make test cause nobody know game basic formulas. Anyway CON is not influencing stun resistance, as far as you can see from CON description...sooooooo...i just wanted to be sure tho.
