To start things off, will additional stats for W.Atk and M.Atk be doubled in a future patch? Other additional stats like Boss Dmg and Dmg are already doubled, however, at the moment Atk does not. Is this an intended feature of GMS or is this a bug?
Ok to the main issue, can Nexon please do something about the 25% boss neb compensation flame for Zeros? I may sound like a salty complainer (yes, I was one of those who got blindsided and reflamed my weapon), but this has completely destroyed the competitiveness of the class. Zeros can only roll tier 1-5 additional stats for their weapon, so it does not make sense that they have tier 6 Boss Dmg and tier 6 Dmg. Our additional stats already get doubled (except for Atk) so doubling tier 6 or tier 7 additional stats is ludicrous. Even doubling tier 5 additional stats is very strong which is why tier 5 for us is as rare or even rarer than tier 7 for other classes. We don’t even get to guarantee 4 lines of additional stats with eternal flames of rebirth. Therefore, assuming Atk will get fix and type 9 weapon, Zeros who kept their compensation flame will get 190 w.atk, 24% boss, and 12% dmg, which is a lil broken?
As for potential fixes, Nexon could nerf the 25% and 20% boss neb compensation flame to align the outcome of the compensation flame and the actual result. These flames were meant to give 12% Boss dmg and 6% Dmg alongside atk depending on the level of the weapon. But under the special conditions of our weapon, it ended up being 24% Boss dmg 12% Dmg and atk. Thus, halving the tiers for Zeros from the compensation flame to tier 3 boss dmg and tier 3 dmg and tier 2 atk (tier 1atk for 20% boss neb) is fair. Again, assuming that atk will be doubled and type 9 weapon, the result will be 77 w.atk, 12% boss and 6% dmg, which is more in line with the intended stats for the compensation flame. Not something BS, broken, BiS and unobtainable.
As it stands, the only way for somebody like me or somebody that just picks up Zero to potentially compete for the best Zero in our world alliance or GMS is to roll tier 5 w.atk, tier 5 boss dmg and tier 5 dmg. This is sooooo much easier said than done, imagine getting 3 tier 5 prime lines on your gollux items. It’s so frustrating knowing if Nexon does nothing, all my efforts on my Zero to be the best has gone to waste.
