Well, Interpid, these are the arguments you will get. People here don't know why they don't like Gracia. They just say "it's not l2 anymore", "kamalols omg man" and crap like that...
Gracia is the most balanced chronicle to date, imo. It made daggers much more useful in pvp, while in previous chronicles they were barely used. Archers are not the only DDs played anymore. Nukers are played too, because of their great boost with these new skills.
When talking about pvp, I mean mass pvp, since that's what you usually get. 1 vs 1 sucks and it's not that frequent.
