Why is base SC so important for a tao?

[Max]

Base SC is evry thing .....

[WildGal]

true tbh..
base is everything on taos

helps with Buff's/curse/pois mainly.

base sc of 220 + means i get the death on me xp bar means i can level on a decent pace ....

base sc of 200 + kicks the crap out PKrs ....

Base sc of 150 or lower means u loose end of story

taken from me tao in the past ..... 20 base sc from fate sword 15 base sc from 1k.old shield and now 28 base sc from rom .....

without base it means u dont hurt, alot of our skils are based on base sc, war and wiz dont have these problems as half there skills is based on top dc mc and luck

Hmmm...how to be constructive...

I do not like the changes to ROM. It hurts me in 2 ways;

1) I paid 12k GG for it (I know, I know it was not donated GG it was 'free' GG - and I have thanked you before for this Lapta) but with the stats on it now I could have used that 12k GG in much better ways, and

2) As a Hell Kit Tao I already 'miss out' on a lot of goodies. No use for Orbs they only boost the upper stat, no use for luck I hit the 'lower' stat every time and it is higher than my 'high' stat. So when you take SC and DC off the ROM it hurts me. That’s straight off my stats and I cannot do anything about it. So I go back to wearing my trusty Pala which brings me neatly back to point 1).

Also, at the same time of doing this you have 'beefed' up several mobs. In my opinion, if you are going to take our 'damage' ability away from us then our 'defensive' should be beefed up. I hate being 1 hit pk'd. I see no skill in it.

Those that fight me and beat me fair and square (such as MK and Hearts) after I have been able to put up at least 1/2 a fight must be the way to go forward. Where is the challenge in being able to 1 hit someone?

As a Tao I have resigned myself to not being the ultimate fast killing machine but at least I felt I was making some sort of progress. Now that my stats have decreased (and I have explained how this change hurts me more than someone in Heaven kit for example) and now that I can't go areas I used to (Ants for example) I feel that I am going backwards. I don't like the feeling and not being able to put up a good fight to the higher lvls is not really in their interests as well.

This dude explains it way better then i do .......

Ummm...well...look at Hell items.

The left stat is higher than the right. As I understand it the left stat is the base stat, the right stat is the high stat.

Orbs and gems affect the high stat. Luck affects the chance to hit the high stat. As I wear Hell items my base stat is higher than my high stat. Now the bonus of this is I dont worry about luck. I *always* hit my base stat, which is higher than my high stat.

The problem is, you have lowered my base stat. Some items (such as a Hell brace) are SC 21-10. I would have to add SC +12 before I added +1 to my overall stats. And, to make matters worse, I would need to start worrying about luck.

If I am correct with all the above I knew the drawbacks. Heaven items would have given me a higher high stat but then luck comes into play. I chose Hell items. I chose to loose high end stats. However, what you have done affects my base SC (and DC). I have lost SC 28 and DC 28 as RoM was SC 40-40 & DC 40-40.

Given the above is true how am I to make this up? I cannot orb items. I cannot wear an Orb (such as Zombie) as, again, it affects the high stat only. Its not only SC, btw. I would like as high a base DC stat as I can get as well.

As stated, there is ever chance that I do not fully understand the mechanics of the game. However, at the moment I really feel as if I am fooked. Given the way I play the game, my Tao has been a biatch to lvl. Until you introduced cross halfmoon for Taos I would go so far as to say it was not even much fun.

I really dont want to go backwards. When I hit lvl 70 all my kit took a leap in stats. I felt as if I had achieved something in game. Now the stats are sort of back to lvl 60 (after you take off the RoM loss). So, I am back to where I started. And, to make matters worse, Hell kit is broken and does not go up in stats after 80?

because with high base sc they can curse for over 2 mins which is daft, and there psn can do over 10k damage, if base stats were removed from tao items complettly it would solve alot of problems ingame im sure.test it out with no base and then with 200 base and same toip end and u,ll see a huge difference.And b4 ppl start slatting me yes i have a tao also.

yer but uve never actuly played a tao u just gt it that lvl by getting a wizz 2 help u but i agree curse is over powerd should be a limit of about 1 min tops but increse psn damage and sfb by a bit but lower time on psn last reducing base sc with do this but make psn/ sfb do more damage slighlty and make it so mr dont effect it if possible
