Congratulations, Artix Entertainment. We are moved by your bravery and courage. Every pubs player has cried tears of joy from your most recent actions on tackling the meta, encouraging dynamic and creative team-building by punishing every low haste class and exacerbating issues created by lack of proficiency on fights and classes.

Thank you for your service, AE o7

Players in this game adapt to changes slower than a retired average father from Texas. And he drives a truck.

How to make Lord of Order not omnipresent

Simple: erase the skill 2 from the face of the earth, that massive years-long mistake that shits on the face of game balance, then replace the healing's damage boost with damage resistance so it can still be used as a support. Give back the resistance, give back some of the haste, then remove that nonsensical Valiance with 100% uptime (LoO will not go away, even if it has 50% uptime, don't be dumb at this level).

Supports in this game NEED to have haste, they NEED to have damage resistance, they NEED to have some tool that changes the dynamic of the fight in favour of the players.

Why is SC useful in Kathool? Because of the mana and haste. Why is it useful in Darkon? Because of the mana, haste, and healing. Why is it useful in Drakath? Because of the resistance and critical chance.

Supports are used because they make a fight easier. Lord of Order makes EVERY SINGLE FIGHT easier - it always has, and it always will, for as long as AE doesn't completely change it.

Why Lord of Order being omnipresent is bad:

- Because AE believes that AoT will replace Lord of Order (LMFAO THEY ARE BETTER TOGETHER AOT IS A DPS)

Why Lord of Order being omnipresent is good:

- Every fight is easier;

- It's an easy class to pick up and used in important quests;

- It's useful even outside of ultras.

Supports are either useful, or irrelevant garbage. Just look at every other support in the game, using StoneCrusher in Dage is asking to be called slurs, and I'd like to have a popcorn when that happens.

The most noob-friendly class in the game got nerfed (IN THE WRONG WAY) because of a 6k ACs class. You all are suffering because they want more money. The changes are dumb, make no sense, and no decent player will ever stop using Lord of Order because of them.

Grandpa has been released from retirement and is now so peak...

If you are curious, Dauntless is better for lower HP mobs (like ~15k or lower) and Ravenous for anything higher than that.

Reminder that this is Lichwar, so that's why Paladin is there (mobs are undead).

VHL page has been updated too. Might change some time later, I'm super sleepy now, so I might have made mistakes on it.

Conclusion:

They reduced the gold so much, we are now eating potions and putting in absurd effort to kill 100k HP mobs, while we can pop a single 12k gold potion and have the same results by killing 21k HP mobs in a 3 years-old map. This is dogshit.

Carcossa isn't even worth looking at, much less attempting to farm there. If you need gold, go to Shadowbattleon (or just Lichwar if you are member).

I hope that they resolve this "issue" and I have made a suggestion in the official Artix Entertainment discord asking for them to buff it a little bit (link here), so something as hard as this at least offers some reward to anyone that wants to max themselves out for it.

You can verify below, I've put the results with and without any boosts for comparison. Since we don't have a gold boost active today, I didn't use the consumable to double the gold, so just 4x whatever shows on the print screens and it should be directly comparable to my old print from the release day.

Release day (full boosts):

I made a post about this one here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AQW/s/zTVHycR61x

Basically, full build Arcana Invoker + Unstable Fate + Unstable Battle + Felicitous Philtre

Result: <1m gold per minute

Result without any boosts: ~260k gold per minute

Current gold (only 30% armor boost):

Result with full boosts: ~440k gold per minute

Result without boosts (as shown in image): ~110k gold per minute

Shadowbattleon (only 30% armor boost):

Result with full boosts: ~400k gold per minute

Result without boosts (as shown in image): ~100k gold per minute

REMINDER:

For best results, use an empty server (or as empty as possible) and try to stay alone so people don't steal your kills AND YOU MUST USE POTIONS, OR HAVE A SMALL COORDINATED GROUP, TO GET THESE RESULTS.

These are some quick tests I did on free time. From what I saw, the DoomKnight boss respawns take too long for it to be worth.

BEST:

Eos Soulworm - 100k HP

7~8k gold per second without gold boost

Requires VERY FAST killing for it to be worth it (22+ kills per minute at least)

Used: Arcana Invoker

• Examen / Ravenous / Vainglory
• Unstable fate tonic / Unstable battle elixir / Felicitous philtre

King's Echo should also be able to reach these numbers (Chrono ShadowHunter will be harder, but can also do it).

Anything that reachs those numbers (22+ kills per minute) will make this place faster than lichwar (fastest gold in the game outside of member / ultras quests).

SECOND BEST:

Reawakened Priestess - 25k HP

This place matches Lichwar, but is easier to farm (Lichwar is 30k HP)

Anything above B-Tier in this list (except Paladins and Undead Slayer) will do well and perform slightly better than Lichwar.
