Underpowered
By tokantropos#3184 October 27, 2016, 12:04:00So I have been having the feeling my xelor, which will reach lvl 100 soon is underpowered. It doesn't contribute a lot to pvm compared to other classes and pvp also doesn't shine that much, ap steal is ok but other player still has enough to do more powerful attack... and I also lose ap by casting all the app spells so benefit is at best minimal. So mediocre dmg, and the other spells doesn't seem to make up enough for it.
I selected this class because I like it, I saw it categorized as "difficult" but I interpreted this as step learning course rather than being it difficult to do something useful with it ever.
I also was reading in forums of pc dofus - lot of complaints - one even said xelors were a dead weight in pvm and nobody wants them in the group. Kinda understandable. In upcoming updates you added synchro, but after apparently reduced the damage so much later (because other players considered it "overpowered") that it "rendered the spell useless" according to what I read in recent posts. So the future looks grim.
Is there any chance to get this class right? Usually what "difficult" means is step learning curve, weak at the beginning, etc. but at some point it pays off and you have an advantage. But it doesn't seem to even reach equality with other classes. Why would I choose then a "difficult" class? I'm considering even to quit playing, no other class resonates with me and I already invested so much time in this.

I really don't want to waste my time by leveling a "dead weight" char.
Thanks to bring this discussion, dude
So my point is that something somewhere has to be improved, right now I don't see the point of this class. It's not well balanced compared to other classes.
I'm lvl 117 right now btw sitting at about 500 int 400 wis soon to go tri once i hit 130.
With 120 and a boogey wand to heal allies, a xelor can prove extremely useful. So I'd tell you just wait and see for yourself.
There are people who are just not good with that class, but give it to someone that knows how to play and it will shine.
For example, nearly all dungeon bosses after a certain level are invulnerable to damage and must be handled by a MP- or AP-reduction specialist while the rest of the team moves them into position to be made vulnerable. The Bworker, for example, has a spell which deals damage based on its HP and this is usually an instant kill no matter who it hits. The Bworker can cast this spell every third turn, and if you can't remove his MP to keep him at a distance or remove his AP and deny him sufficient AP to attack, then he'll murder your whole team inside of 20 turns.
Or, the boss Ougaa in the Fungus Dungeon: it hits for at least 1,000 damage per turn, can have as much as 12,000 HP, heals itself like nobody's business, and can have up to 7 summons (in addition to other monsters already in the fight.) I don't care if you bring a team of eight Iops - you can't just bludgeon it into the ground, you've got to come at this with some sense of strategy and ability to control what the enemy team is doing if you're going to come out alive.
And so on. Xelor isn't a terrible class, and it's quite playable even without being scrolled, but if you're going to play one of the most difficult classes in the game, then you've got to take the long-veiw. That, and you've got to learn a few professions in order to afford all the scrolls you'll have to buy.
