I usually get 1-5th place in bg and accumulate around 150 points per match when we win. Matches usually last a little more than 10 minutes. If you are on a dead server, this is the same amount of time it takes to down a nexus lord. If you are on a populated server, this is twice as long in comparison. If you managed to do the nexus grind pre qoa, bg is just a continuation of it at a similar rate. The only difference is you can do your 70 hours of bg all at once, rather than have it staggered out in a 3 month period due to nexus time limits.
A long grind? Yeah... but within already existing perimeters. Sorry but, t14 isn't for everyone. But knowing ncsof... I mean en masse, they will probably dump bg points from the sky 1 month before the next patch like they did for t13 pre-qoa so you'll get it eventually... just stick with it. Personally I find bg a lot more exciting than nexus, although I can see how this might start to wear on me over time. However, as much as archers suck, we finally get to participate in some of that fabled mass pvp that we are suppose to be good at. And man are we good at it.
I KNOW you're lying because 130 is the max you can get per win.
I don't know what you guys are expecting with this "raid instance" but it literally takes ~15 minutes with no mechanics outside of tank and spank. It's quite literally a personalized nexus. You go through 3 rooms. The first room is a bunch of non elite adds you AOE down. 2nd room is two Nexus BAMs. 3rd room is Nexus boss + 2 more BAMs. All tank and spank.
Um, what Archer changes? I'm pretty sure Ktera Archers are the same as ours at the moment.
The problem with waiting for BGs is you'll be facing people who already have their Agnitor rep gear, which puts them at a significant advantage over you. You're basically forced to do Nexus in order to PvP at a median level due to the effect gear has on combat.
I can't do Nexus without becoming ill--the stuttery, slideshow framerates I get (regardless of what my graphics settings are) cause me to become nauseated and give me eye strain and headaches. So even if I wanted to, I couldn't, and because of this I'm effectively locked out of PvP short of duels with other people who agree to wear PvE gear.
I'd love to PvP if gear was a non-factor, but unfortunately it is the absolute most important part, much higher than skill (especially considering 30% added damage mitigation and double reflect bonuses).
If you had done any research at you would know that BGs equalize gear more or less making gear difference negligible.
Some of the few names that i heard or came across were Axecalibur, Oogolooga, Hakira, Horo, Berserker, Robert, and Eggman's berserker (dont remmeber his bererker's name). Give me your opinon?
I have literally not heard of any of those Berserkers.
even a +12 nexus weapon fails in comparison to BG weapon @ +9
Not only is there 1000 atk difference but thats not even factoring in the pvp dmg bonuses lol. NO COMPARISON.
The attack difference is only about ~500 for starters. You can try to make an argument about the PvP damage stats increasing the gap even more, but what is hitting for 5k more damage a hit if you can't hit them at all?
I'm not sure about the base stats but it seems like Nexus may be better. The +5 power bonus for enchanting is static and the only bonus stat you can roll on the new PvP weapons. With Nexus weapons you can get 16% attack speed, an extra 3% player damage, and other useful stat bonuses.
