Unfortunately this thing has been nerfed and reworked. Check my vid on MA nerf for more.

Arcana Invoker was the real Birthday Celebration Class

[ShadowFungus]

The game’s too laggy for a class like this.

[LARRYZ]

Something to note: The 33% mana consumption reduction with Vim helm + mana vamp make this class much more viable.

[CannabutterMD]

this is definitely a high effort class and auras timing is tight, but performance is pretty decent for the farm duration, RGOW and 51% dodge rotation can hit 25k dps with some debuffs falling off and full dps is a bit more at 27k

This class is so bad, but not for the reasons you might think. It’s not the mechanics or damage numbers that make it trash—it’s the fact that playing it feels like you’re signing up for early-onset carpal tunnel. When the biggest challenge is surviving the controls and not the enemies, it’s time to reconsider if it’s even worth the grind.

"Seriously, this thing is less of a class and more of a hand workout. If you’re looking for a way to make gaming physically painful, congratulations—this class has you covered.

This class is based on "style". The term "combo"is to be heavily implied in this class. It's supposed to feel more interactive. If you can mix it up, the class is VERY solid, yet it still can't out-DPS VHL for the most part, which might turn people off of it. Having ti work to get less damage than VHL sounds lame, but personally having to put the work in is a nice change of pace. It's been fun to use. Makes the game more engaging. If your one of those "idle clicker" fellas (can't really see how anyone likes a game where you don't do anything) than it is NOT for you.
If however you have ADHD, perfect

Potentially hot take: this works well with Infinity's WASD movement, since you're practically playing a beat 'em up at that point.

what I realized about the class's stance mixing mechanic is that when you enter into a mixed stance you won't get the normal stance's effect as well. What I mean is that by going frogzard -> gorillaphant you only get the base frogsard (-dmg res) and the forgzard-gorillaphant (-phys res) effacts. You won't get the +crit dmg and when you press 4 right after that to enter into dragon you will get the spinning dragon effect, but not the +phys dmg effect of gorillaphant-dragon. The class already is very annoying to use by virtue of having a manual "auto attack" the way its main mechanic works makes thing even worse.

I usually get up to 18k dps w/ this combo tho 322334-repeat and 5 when off cd and on base gorillaphant stance for the bonus crit chance

[SinofPrideえ]

So Vim+SoulPotion+SC/IT would make this class good in party.

Like literally good

[chuushuumaru]

bank. just get it for the badge. i'd rather play tcm with all those button mashing. they should've made an upgrade version of dracomancer instead just like sovereign.

AE is starting to hit certain issue. Classes like MA are gonna be either unnecessarily hard to get midgame classes or great bargains for endgame ones and it will be impossible to balance. MA does like 15K DPS for me and some say that even more and it takes like 5 hours to get with already endgame gear, while stuff like DoT takes 12 and does even less damage. Stuff like LR... albeit its all rounder class, its actual capability is on par with something like MA, some midgame farmer and support like loo at best and it takes 40 hours with no shortcuts. Bit too much for something thats more of midgame to lategame level all rounder rather than endgame one.

YnR is pretty decent class among endgame ones and he takes 8 hours for legion members ( endgame gear ) and he does like 17K dps with ravenous and stuff, meanwhile Chaos Slayer does like 14 and LDK 15. So, with few more classes, you will have line of mid to endgame classes, where one is barely better than the other but twice as hard to get.

With balance like that, having better class wont be matter of practicality but matter of luxury and flexing.

Just start farming it yesterday by doing Q soul hunter. Just get it today in only 1 minute. Never thought getting a birthday class would be so easy

[rarigate]

Vhl and other classes so op it makes all new classes bad so straight to the bank like 99% of my classes

[MrLegend-Just_Shorts]

Seems like better DPS than VHL then again i havent played in over a year 🤣

[NyolateAMV]

Don’t forget to show me how to find and complete 500 ACs quest!

[theRZR]

I use powerdie on weapon spam punch 1/5 16m dmg😂

[brendan]

going 32343234 makes you only get gorilla, gorilla-zard, and gorilla-dragon buffs, you are not getting any of the zard buffs wasting over half the potential of the class.
dps skill order is 34232432, dodge skill order is 4232342323
use 5 basically off cooldown but if you want to minmax it you use 5 after you go into gorillaphant stance in the loop to maximize the amount of autos gotten with the 50% higher crit chance, this class is the highest dps non chrono dodge class by a mile if you know what you're doing, and if you use the purely dps rotation it is about the same dps as cav and vhl, still much lower than AI, but AI can't also be a dodge class
the 5 is worded very poorly, usually the class is use a skill then 2 autos, all the 5 does is change that to be use a skill then 6 autos for 7 seconds, vim is not worth it

[spacejungler]

death isn't showing up on "Death" map

[scarykirby]

AQW is trying to break people's one key those who do use other sources get to relax and sleep while still farming but legit people will put effort and do things like how the world was made
