I open this post to provide ideas on how to balance the class. It is common knowledge that nowadays Crus and Champ rule in the end game pve and pk because of their high scaling.
On the other hand, although voys are still quite strong in pk they fall very rapidly in pve, to the point that you have to conch 15-20 times to kill some late game mobs => not fun. (while crus or champ kill them in seconds)
And don't come to me with reductionist arguments like: "but gemming ug rages and winds is more expensive" because this is a phalacy. These gems are more expensive because there is more demand for them, guess why? Because most people play crus and champ because they are the strongest classes, and those require rages and winds. If clerics or voys where the strongest, guess what would happen to ug soul price.
1) Having said that I think a start could be adjusting the damage formula of the skills reducing base damage at the cost of scaling. For example with Conch ray:
Conch ray Lv10: Base damage = 500, Scaling= 6/SPR
For reference, the current damage formula is: CEIL((BaseDamage+ 6 * SPR) * (1.4 + PetScalingBonus * IntenseScalingBonus ) + IntenseFlatBonus + PetFlatBonus)
Where,
BaseDamage = 500 (at skill level 10)
PetScalingBonus = 0.05 for Novide Magic, 0.08 for Standard Magic
IntenseScalingBonus = 0.20 (for intense lv 10)
IntenseFlatBonus = 300 (for intense lv 10)
PetFlatBonus = 5 for novice magic, 8 for standard magic
The idea is to play with all this parameters in order to nerf the damage at low spr (because yes, voys are OP early game) at cost of increasing it at high spr.
2) Another idea, perhaps more radical, is to throw up all the coral system. Use rings and necks like other classes and remove any restriction. (left hand slot for shield?) Its not fun to have to spend inventory slots in different corals, rings, necks for different situations. Even with maxed inventory slots, after you have put up HP pots, manu, pets, etc. Inventory slots are very scarce.
Any other ideas?
Feel free to criticize and argue.
