If you are playing a version with the updated stats, the situation is reversed. Warrior types have a huge advantage over the other types. The main reason comes from the adjusted constitution stat which adds defense and chi kung defense. A warrior with a fair amount of constitution can achieve 600 chi kung defense with little to no effort. A consequence to this is healers who have constitution as a penalty stat, suffer for this. Nukers are forced to build up another stat (basically ever stat but str now) in order to fight. Hybrids basically lose all party support abilities. The new system makes PvE very easy as it is easy to achieve a high defense level and buffs provide a greater boost. However, this fails to adjust with the new items provided. A warrior can easily achieve 10000 damage on their status with a good +10 weapon with only their active and not factoring in the damage generated by other skills which can easily bring the damage to over 16000. This is greatly reduced in PvP, but the reduction is not anywhere close to what is needed to balance this out.

Poor Management:

This is where the greatest flaws of 9Dragons gold appears. Nothing creates a great of an effect as the poorly managed game. Outside of the original Korean version, updates are very slow and infrequent. Bugs tend to be common, and it takes a while to fix them. Vital bugs are fixed quickly, but many are not. Contrary to popular belief, this does not only happen to the US/EU version run by Acclaim. It happened to the Taiwanese version and the Japanese version as well. Very little information is provided by the developers to any of the companies providing service for the game. Some receive more than others, but it is almost never provided until after its release and even then not all the changes are listed in the patch notes provided.

Overall:

9Dragons gold is a poorly managed game, but is overall worth playing. The help system is useful, but leaves out some important information and so does the tutorial. There are issues such as exp rates which can be adjusted by the publishers. Much of the game's content is for higher level players and there is little for low level players to do other than to level up. The game has a fairly useful help system. The PvP system is where the problems are at. The game has yet to develop a balanced PvP system. The game engine has a few noticeable flaws, mainly the targetting system. All in all, it is a decent game with enough to make it stand out amongst the others.
