Good evening everyone, how are you all doing? Could you reconsider removing the cap on Advanced Soulfire and Sweeping Swipe? I believe this would increase the number of mages and warriors!

I agree with that!

For shamans and warlocks, hunts are based on 2 skills: 1 class spell (cross/hailstorm) and advanced soul fire, trying to maximize damage to monsters. Limiting this damage creates a certain difference compared to other classes, or even to the pyromancer. Rangers, like marksmen, have several strong cycle spells, and the pyro has a complete area combo, which puts the shaman/warlock at a disadvantage, even though the warlock still has a small buff due to the talent.

Readjusting this could help mages regain a good presence on the servers, which are now dominated by rangers, who have much more damage and can withstand monsters much more easily.

Note: Perhaps reevaluating the mage class buffs might be a good idea in the current game situation, not based on level 1800 characters, but on the gameplay experience on the current seasonal servers, focused on levels 0 to 500+.

Just tested, the final talent of the Warlock Immolation does not increase advanced soulfire damage at all.

We’ve been asking for this for years and are always ignored.
Have you noticed something? When the topic is improving the game, none of our enemies want to make it better for everyone.

The enemy has always been , you know who.

It's easier to create an advancement subclass called Soul Magic that has access to all the magic of the 3 subclasses so people can modify their fighting style for PvP and their hunting style

I think Zezenia has come a long way in recent years, but to give players a more immersive experience, the devs could consider adding subclass promotion options that buff a few select spells, tailored for both PvP and PvM.

This would let players on older servers get small advantages when they buy a promotion, and it would also make the seasons feel more dynamic -- whether on PvP or Non-PvP servers.

The idea is that subclass promotions would be optional for players at level range 300 up to 500+ and could be obtained from an NPC using in-game premium cards (for example, 25 to 50 cards), or alternatively paying something like 100-125kk gold to NPC. It would be also a great way to burn more gold in the game.

I propose that every promotion modifies only two of the subclass' spells, giving small benefits without making it OP. Besides, each promotion could receive a unique custom outfit, so the player could buy and unlock both of their subclass promotions, gaining access to both outfits and being able to switch between PvP and PvM promotions with temple npcs.

Another option::- It could be an interesting reward for future seasons. If the player reaches the level required for the main rewards (level 300, 500, or whatever), they could choose between a PvP or PvM parchment/scroll for their subclass to boost their spells.

Making sweeping swipe better would been awesome actually..

That's right. Sweeping Swipe and Advanced Soul Fire damage cap needs to be removed.

Maybe the formulas should be changed so that the damage does not scale too much at higher levels? But at least these spells should have some damage progression.

Considering that both warrior subclasses have small AoE spells - only 8 SQM - to deal their main damage, warriors deserve to have some AoE damage progression through sweeping swipe, even if it is lower than that of other classes in the game, because at higher levels, even though warriors have great defense, their damage falls a lot behind due to the minor size (small SQM number) of their AoE spells.

Now, regarding the mages, specifically warlocks and shamans, are the mages most disadvantaged due to the small range of their AoE spells in relation to pyromancers. Pyromancers – 60 tiles (Inferno); Shamans – 18 tiles (Mortal Melody) and 25 tiles (Hailstorm); Warlocks – 19 tiles (Cross of Annihilation).
