The goal is to recognize the skill icon really :p_hi:
 

 

Fallen Empire for Sura? Really....Gates of Hell seemed like the obvious choice. (Or Flash Combo, though the symbol is not as Monk-type iconic as Fallen Empire's fists)

 

You're not S if you only specialise in one build or one powerful skill. If there's even a single skill in your class' tree that you can't summarise and list the applications of (including good combos for active skills, and quirks like on-hit effects) from the top of your head, you can't claim to have "mastered" it.

 

You're not S if you don't know how your class functions in different environments, e.g. PvM vs PvP vs GvG, and can't discuss viability in those environments without referencing someone else's work. Pros, cons and caveats. If you can't provide your own examples or calculate things for yourself, you haven't mastered your class.

 

You're not S just because you deal lots of damage, have fancy gear, or a nice build. You could have easily just geared from an all-purpose guide in the class subforums or gotten someone to tailor a build for you. Having lots of zeny to burn and access to a plethora of information complied by other people =/= being skilled with your class.

 

You're not S if you can't see what a piece of gear will do for your class by looking at its effects. This goes doubly for the people who ask what effects base stats have on specific skills. Pretty self-explanatory.

 

You're not S if you look at a local vid (not from another server) of someone playing your class and can't immediately deconstruct what's happening, how they're moving the way they are, or dealing the kind of damage they are. If anything about someone else playing your class baffles you, then you haven't mastered it. If you get confused about things like gear swapping to cancel actives, hitlocking, intentional posbugging or skill dancing, then you haven't even come to grips with basic game mechanics let alone your class.

 

 

Rank F- Sura badge pls (Goes to cry at the corner)  :sob:

Well part of the icon selection is identifying the class even if you don't know its skills.

GoH doesn't look like anything. Fallen empire is two fists. None of the bishop icons are too identifiable so I went with heal icon.

The biggest problem I have with some of the comments here is that it makes it sound like you cannot be "s" class on a skill unless you can afford ultra gear for your class even if your skills makes up for it.

If you can solo tough mvps or instances with +4 gears, in situations where people with +14 gears would struggle, you'd clearly be an 'S'. It's about how impressive what you know and can do are. Also its fine if your highest is never anything but 'A'. S is for diehard fan, right? Not everyone is going to get that invested.

S is a borderline (or full blown) obsession with the class that bears fruit.

Isn't this like a fun rating system that was implemented o_O? xD

 

I think S doesn't have to entail you know everything about a class, but that when push comes to shove you can play it well.

 

Do I have to penalise myself because I happen to not enjoy WoE or PvP?

 

Do I feel bad that I am a hybrid warger, instead of a trapper... or a focused arrow strike, or a trapper again, or a ds spammer, or a kiter... and the list goes on xD

 

By Almr's standards, I wouldn't rate myself an S, but honestly I don't think it really matters. Generally it just gives some insight into something that someone might play often or at least has spent many hours playing.

 

Let many rangers use S rank, and then only laugh if they ask "What's an Arrow?" :)

Do I have to penalise myself because I happen to not enjoy WoE or PvP? - Do you know how despite not doing it? Would you do a good job if you did do it, even though you don't prefer to?
