Heads up for Dawn Warriors with slow internet

So, as we all know the new patch for Cygnus Knights make for an awesome change with Dawn warriors, along with Wind Archers and Thunder Breakers. But just if you're unlucky like I am to not live near the servers and have some input delay, just a head's up that when you play a 4th job Dawn Warrior, the buff Equinox Cycle probably won't work properly for you.

Why? Because the game has to buff you between stances after every hit. As I have a whopping internet connection of 120kpbs (and no, I can't upgrade it since where I live that's as fast as it can get sadly.), I have a brief moment of "buff lag". Same goes for Potions, looting stuff off the floor, switching equipment and whatnot. it's about half a second -> a whole second of not being able to attack anything everytime. So that being said, after every attack you use with Equinox Cycle, the game has to register the next stance as a buff, preventing me from attacking anything until the next stance comes up on the top-right, enabling me to continue; THUS making my attacks stutter inbetween very largely. Kinda disappointed that I can't play my Dawn Warrior to his full potential since I don't have First World internet connection, but nevertheless just thought that anyone else who have crap internet and are planning to play a Dawn Warrior had the right to know.

Hope you guys have fun with the new patch.

That's one of the problems I don't have. I live in Europe, so I guess it depends on both the distance from the servers as well as your internet speed.

Although I wouldn't consider my internet to be slow, it's still far from perfect.
Something to look out for when I log on to my Dawn Warrior later today. =/

Wow, sorry to hear that I mean right now I'm on my 120 DW. It seems to be working fine but I hope they are able to fix that issue for you guys that have it D:
As far as the skills go in second job I maxed everything, I left Bluster and Shadow Tackle untouched for now but I think it'd be better to max out Bluster if you're already 4th job+ , and max Shadow Tackle if you are working your way up.
Third job I maxed everything and left True Sight at level 4. I know it might help a little to have it a higher level but I said "meh".
At level 120 I maxed out Master of the Sword, Equinox and right now I'm debating about where to put my remaining 12 points as I put 1 in solar pierce and lunar sunset for fun

Sure does. I hope Nexon would find a work-around for this, but that's probably asking too much.

[quote=Skieth]You can try for yourself if you already have a Dawn warrior above level 100 like I did. It was really disappointing to me, since I've had that Dawn Warrior since day one of Cygnus Knight's releases back in the day. I haven't played him since pre-bb, and I was getting hyped up to play my old main again.

And about the skill guide, I'm not so sure myself but I'd just make sure to max out all your buffs + passives, and worry about your attacks last since you get a ton of attacks in later jobs.[/quote]

Alrighty,ima do dat. also also do we talk to Nao Now?
