  Banff?

  I kept reading it as Bandit honestly.
  
  It's probably Vampire though, given the whole theme. Google Translate is just being Google Translate.

  I was like, Banff national park?
  
  On another note, I'm going outa my mind with anticipation for crossgun. No more tired index finger yesplz. :skip:

  I'm pretty excited too... it's really the kind of character I would love playing.
  
  Everyone hates ranged characters and finds them boring, but I've always loved them. Even when Evie was the worst character.

  I find them more overpowered than boring. The archers and mages from Grand Chase and Elsword used to be so fucking overpowered that they made demons literally cry.

  I actually prefer melee characters over kiting, but I also like bows & arrow types as well as guns/rifles in fantasy settings.

  In almost every mmo, to win as a ranged character, all you have to do is walk back and shoot. Its not very fun. They're also the main reason I always steer clear of PVP in any mmo, they typically turn what would be fun, into who can spam ranged attacks faster.
  
  Its pretty true for Kai too, Kai can easily solo his way up to lv 60 because of it.
• RebeccaBlack wrote on 2013-01-30 06:24
  I don't mind that, but I like to try to push beyond that level. If I can do almost everything like that, then I'll find something harder to do that I won't be capable of in my sleep. Part of the fun is luring attacks which will then miss as you continue to deal heavy damage nonstop.
  
  I kind of enjoy both styles in my own way, and I think Spear Lann is (arguably) the funnest character in Vindictus. I really like Kai too... And Staff Evie, but I don't like Evie quite so much anymore with Kai around. He does what I wanted even better.
  
  To me, most of Evie's gimmicks weigh me down from a fun standpoint more than anything. I don't enjoy people yelling at me to drop coronas all the time. Doesn't help that I'm asked on cooldown.

  So, Dual Blade got a buff on it's transition to KR live servers.

  Seems like it's at a better place now.
  
  Edit:
  [S]Okay, I seriously want to know what stats this guy has.[/S] Nevermind, he started putting them in the video description.
  [video=youtube;KDrEvhQRxIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDrEvhQRxIA&nxid=15[/video]
  att 18.4k def 8.4k balance 70 att speed 42(39+3)
  
  The person has the other solos of Ep10 on their channel.
  They are also the exact same person who did the Crossgun solos.
  
  And also before anyone starts complaining about Dual Blades from that video, here's the Keaghan one.
  [video=youtube;Pioh9qo_qAA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pioh9qo_qAA[/video]
  This is about 10 minutes slower than most of the other faster classes. Not to mention the lower Att cap means the absurd 18.4k Att doesn't come into play.

  She is, definitely, weak.

  Crossgun is not going to be able to touch the crazy DPS that is a Bow Kai who knows how to rapid fire glitch. Crossgun is still a fairly solid option though, and it probably will beat a Bow Kai if you can't rapid fire glitch (and it'll be way easier on your fingers if you don't use macros).

  
  
  It does sadden me a little bit that glitching has become a norm expectation for optimal dps. Just like Featherdashing and HSC.
• RebeccaBlack wrote on 2013-01-31 09:11
  It hasn't. Good players talk shit about it all the time because they consider it dishonorable. I hate the concept of being "honorable" but whatever.
• Invertex wrote on 2013-01-31 09:11
  Well HSC has been around since like... the beta. It's questionable if it's even considered a glitch at this point. Feather sprinting and rapidfiring are glitches for sure though, but you do what you have to do to not die/do damage.
  
  In other news, China is getting Crossguns in a week.

  CN is just random with releases though, so take that as you will.

  That's really only true for glitch firing, potentially because people see it as a way they're losing in damage and what not. I've seen many people talk down on Defense stacking, I've seen people talk down on using +15 in solos because that makes them too fast.
  
  Really anything that gives you more power has someone who hates it. Glitch firing is just one of the more gamebreaking ones that only a certain class has access too, which is why it gets more hate.
  
  Though it is worth noting I have not seen any Fiona actually say anything bad about Feather Sprinting.
• Oizen wrote on 2013-01-31 09:26
  I'd consider it unfair if they're more class specific.
  
  For instance, a Kai can greatly increase their DPS at no cost by rapid fire glitching, but no such thing exists for the rest of the characters.
  
  or Vella can run across half the map in a few seconds, but no other class can.
  
  
  Its not so much of an honor thing, as how it can break the already poor balancing this game has.

  I misread it as glitchfiring rather than just glitching.
