Hey guys,

Just popping in to let everyone know of the progress we've made!

- Client was patched and updated to v2.064 (USKO released this patch today).
- Nereids Island (Boat war map) is now fully supported (Monuments, Supplies, etc.).
- Fixed a bug with certain NPCs sometimes disappearing upon (re)spawning.
- Fixed a few skills not having correct rates for stunning / slowing.
- Fixed Porutu's "Divide Armor" debuff not resetting the HP bar upon expiring.
- Implemented rate limiting for chat messages.
- Added visible timers for all wars.
- Fixed an issue where Porutu's couldn't equip Warrior armor.
- When handing in a quest and your inventory full, you'll now get your reward mailed to you.

Those are the more important ones, we're really closing in on a beta now - as you can see from the main post. There's a few more things we'd like to check over (and get sorted, such as the payment processor) before announcing a beta, but rest assured it won't be too far off!

Have a great day and thank you for your continued interest in Apex KO!

The Porutu.. I've yet to play KO since those things were implemented into the game. Can anyone give me a brief summary as to how they are played?
Yes, I'm aware of Youtube but a written explanation would probably do more justice than watching someone play the character.

Best way to describe them is as a support class I guess?
I've only played them once (Till like lv 34 on USKO?), and most of their skills are debuffs, and some status effects like immobilization and pulls, etc; They wear warrior items also. So, meh. Maybe someone else will explain it better.

The most important skills a Porutu have:
Rush (Rush on the target, and stun him for a few seconds, this doesn't do dmg but the target that get's rushed will be fucked).
Divide Armor (Single target debuff), basically does the same as a torment/malice, but it stacks with torment/malice so the target's AC will drop ALOT.
Apart of these skills, you can choose to go for DOT-dmg, supportive, tanky etc. I would call it a mix of a priest and a warrior.

Would you say they're a must have in parties? (like debuffers)

Can they even do dps if spec'd for it?

1 Porutu in a party works really great, rush+divide armor is fatal for anyone, a must have in party? Depends what the party is made of, he works the best with sins, because it's easy for a sin to burst down some1 when the target got rushed(stunned), porutu debuffed (divide armor) and maliced/parasited. This divide armor also explains why there are sins capable of spiking 12K, because the targets get maliced + porutu debuffed.

About the dps, i'm not sure but before they fixed the stamina (Yes, when they were bugged ofc.) they could spam dots on you, even if you town you would most likey die in town. But now when the abilities cost stamina, going tanky is the best option because they won't do as much dps compared to a warrior.

I see... can rush be dodged or at least avoided? is it a 100% stun regardless of your LR?

i'm not 100% sure it can be cured/avoided, but the rush has a travel time, if you town before he hits you then you'll be safe. But as soon as when you got hit, i think it's 100% yes. And honestly speaking, Porutu's are the best counters against assassins because they will drop in a second when they get rushed + debuffed, and against priests because they will be useless for a few seconds or might even die aswell within less than a second.

Welp, that seems balanced.

Just hoping it's not the usual 3 seconds stun that prevents you from even using minor healing...

Oh, by the way you can get TPed while you got rushed, so yea i guess that's the only way to avoid it but then you'll still be stunned but then on a different location

[Aesteris]

damn awesome! can we expect beta on April maybe?

We certainly are working towards that, though I can't confirm that 100% until we've got all our ducks in a row

None.

Well thanks for the answers, I think I've got it now.
Sounds like the PK is gonna be entirely different this time around for me.. Sounds good though.

It doesn't matter to much, in most of the servers i've played so far Porutu isn't really a populated class, for example right now in Orion i've seen 2 Porutu players so far and they weren't anything special either. I wonder how that's possible because yet it is a really dangerous class.

Interesting, maybe they're secretly OP.

Imagine a party of 3-5 porotus stun locking targets! If only they were more visually appealing....

Do Hera / Menissiah PUS scrolls work on porotus? lmao

i have no idea, never seen one using one of these scrolls, i guess it doesn't. The characters appearance doesn't change either when it equips different armors/cospre's, just the glow from reverse items you'll see. In other words, an unfinished character imo.
