Complete Job Reorganization Underway!
Taking into consideration all the results from the online polls (which they have said they will continue to use), Nexon has finally released information on job reorganizations, and in particular, the Thief and Pirate jobs!
These reorganizations will be done over a 3 month period, from October to December. They cover almost every single job, bar the three classes released during the Legend update! Check past the cut for specific information!
In October, responsible for the front lines of the battlefield, the heroes charge forward! The Resistance, Aran, and Evan will be reorganized!
In November, the core Union force that will be the decisive factor of the battle! Warriors, Mages, Archers, Cygnus Knights, and Ultimate Adventurers will be reorganized!
And in December, the characters which will undergo a complete revamp and get everything changed except their names! The Pirate and Thief reorganization will finally take place!

good job max.
Hm… everything will be changed except their names, huh? Sounds interesting… but also scary in a way, too… I really hope that this change is one for the better… Thanks for the info. Great post as always, Max XD
I just jizzed. Damn I have problems. I REALLY did jizz. I mean wtf!
lmao!!! You don’t have any problems.
True.
no wonder your Anonymous but yea i jizzed as well
finally
Excellent. But I wonder why Pirates and Theifs have to be put asside for last.
Who knows. I believe that they could get a better idea of what should be revamped than having it early.
Most likely they’re saving the absolute best for last (can’t wait to see the corsair revamp!)
Any idea if dual blade would got revamped?
Fuck no. Their as powerful as it gets man.
every thief class got an upgrade…including Dual Blade9maybe balancing?)
Can’t wait for resistance buffs, because of my favouritable Battle mage, hehe. Max, do you have any idea when the test servers are going to be up(So people can take some footage of the revamps on video)?
kMS Tespia is always up, but the patch will be soon I think, for the first update.
Nice, i will be more op with the Archer and UA revamp
Archers are already op after Jump! and Legendary they are still up there no point of revamping them
The Thief and Pirate update makes it sound like pirates and thieves are going to be changed COMPLETELY.
Like it will feel SUPER DIFFERENT to play as them.
Why buff AGAIN all other classes? ¬¬ they should just buff thieves, pirates and cygnus, i mean, legends had chaos and bowmen, warrior and magician had jump
Because apparently, there are too many Mercedes and Demon Slayers in comparison with the rest of the classes, so they’re buffing everyone now to keep up. That’s what i heard anyway. I could believe that…=/
uhm .. what … really ?
Yeah, the overpowered-ness of Mercedes and Demon Slayer made the Jump updates seem meaningless in comparison, and Jump was the update that set a new standard for skill design as it applies to old classes. That’s really bad.
They pretty much have to revamp everyone else at once if they want to get a handle on this. Hopefully since it involves everyone now, they finally have an idea on how to balance all the classes.
yeah you might be right about that, since they do everyone now “all at once” the can balance all the skill equaly, instead of having to rembmer what you did 6 months ago in the last balance and make it even for other jobs. I’m happy to see that PIrate and thieves will get a rebalance, but what makes me confused is the UA part. Will a UA thief get a different balance then a normal thief.. THe only thing I can think of is that they balance the UA specific things, like the UA skill, and the UA beginners skills, maybe the blessing as well. I’m 97% sure that pirates will get double roll-of-dice, since cannon shooter has it. Also I’m 70% sure that gunslinger wil be able to adjust the direction of recoil shot, like going up and jump higher like cannon shooter, jump to left/right or shoot in the air to hit a platform above you with you bullet and hit the platform below you and cause damage with your body to monsters close to where you landed
They should just nerf mercedes and demonslayer while giving everyone else a buff
COOLLL!!!!
Thx Max!!
I wanna See the changes of the Arans 😀
YESSS KOREA KEEP LISTENING TO US AND YOUR COMMON SENSE….Finallyyyyy MORE CHANGES!!!!! Thnx Max for the lovely pics and post
Yay, resistance (and mechanic) revamp. Mechs shall take the top again!
not necessarily…
Is nobody really understanding “And in December, the characters which will undergo a complete revamp and get everything changed except their names!”? That most likely means they will be OP as hell again, like before big bang. People keep saying “GO Mechanic! or whatever, but in reality it looks like thief and pirate will be top again.
Korea has been on top of the balance thing pretty good as of late…but you’re right a total change probably means were gonna get another Db like release just theyre gonna be 20x stronger lol. I expect tons of balancing patches for them after.
is dual blade gonna have a reorganization????
Thieves and Pirates gonna become evil OwO
Anyone knows the name of this patch?
Big Bang + Chaos + Jump = Maplestory OMG!?
So warriors, mages, and archers are gonna have another reorganization o.O?
Yay, finally a Resistance revamp!
Considering Legends recently got a physical-training-type skill and revam, I expect a Db reorg. would follow suit. Imo, monster bomb is kinda ehhh.
yea… useless skill….
Pirates were never OP lol. For sucha long wait and watching every class be revamped and revamped again though, I would hope nexon makes them OP for this, at least till the next patch. Would seem fair, no?
I always thought pirates were fairly strong until big bang shoved them aside, but yes, I agree that making them op for once would be fair.
as long as they don’t go ksing like crazy I will be ok, more if they let me party with them at lhc 😀
Not really. Mages used to just obliterate regular maps, yes, but sucked horrendously in bossing. Warriors aren’t OP, and we never have been. Bowmen have had it tougher than Pirates, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Thieves really deserve to lie at the bottom of the heap after the “DEXless days”. Thieves are the only ones who have really been OP.
In all reality, saying that Pirates deserve to be OP is one of the least intelligent things that can be said on this particular Blog (although I’ll bet the farm that someone will say something even less intelligent after my comment is posted). Calling for them to be OP is just begging to get ultra nerfed and then you’ll be fussing and moaning: “Woe is me! Pirates aren’t OP anymore! Woe is me!” Then when you’re back among more reasonable classes, you’ll be posting almost the exact same post again.
So let’s skip over all this and just balance them, mmmkay?
simply awesome
YAY! RESISTANCE REVAMP! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE A MUCH IMPROVED WILD HUNTER!
Woo another job revamp.
I got a feeling Thieves and Pirates are going to be top damage dealers idk why +_+
Although I dont have any 4th jobbed adventurer thief / pirate
Yet once again they totaly ignore the poll. It doesn’t matter what we answered it wouldn’t have affected the way the patches were released. We all wanted adventurer (pirates and thieves mostly) but we get them in the second update, or for pirates and thieves, LAST !
First, Last.. doesn’t matter be thankful its coming
So you’d rather not get it at all? That’d be great since I’d have even less competition in the “bossing” category.
I hope the Pirate update includes Cannon Shooters, compared to the Demon Slayers and Mercedes, they really need it.
It says all jobs except the 3 New Jobs that came out this summer. I don’t know If DB will get an update.
Cannon Shooters are as tanky (or maybe even moreso) than Demon Slayers, while doing more damage and being more mobile than a corsair. On top of that, their training speed is probably the fastest out of all the classes in Maplestory right now. They don’t need a buff at all. (Mercedes has almost no health, and the delay for Demon Slayers is quite horrible, only that their skills are quite flashy.)
cannon shooters will be at the bottom after this update. they’re no where close to as good as demon slayer or mercedes…
I can’t wait to the Battle Mage revamp!
I really hope they’ll change the MAX lvl of some skills in 2nd job, because they miss skill points.
I would prefer if battle mage skills follow demon slayer’s lol 2nd, 3rd, 4th skills only need 1SP
Awesome revamp! Big Bang 2? Are Dual Blades and Cannon Shooters getting buffed, cause it doesn’t look like it.
This is exactly how i see it. Big Bang 2. And to those people complaining about thieves and pirates being last. Suck it up. And besides, its just the right thing for them to be last, it would be kinda weird if it was in the beginning.
actualy NO, since the release of pirates, we were the weakest class. When you are stronger you have more fun.. why ?
You get taken seriously and get invited in party’s, plus you can train faster.. PIrates and thieves were left behind in Big Bang, Chaos and Jump, the only reasonable thing is to let them get first since they are sooo far behind cmopared to all other classes. Since all other jobs will become “better” than they are now 2 months before pirates and thieves are, that creates an even bigger gap ! In those 2 months, pirates and thieves will do like 10 damage, when a buffed job will do like 100 (just comparing the damage output thingy .. just fictional !). I bet you don’t own either a thief or pirate, and if you do you don’t play on it regulary. If you do, then I bet you are trolling since you want to get stronger no matter what. If you don’t then don’t say anything because you are judging about something that has NOTHING to do with you. I’m not going to say that warriors don’t need an update because I don’t own one. I am however saying that they can be buffed after the ones that have been in the line for so long.
The biggest and strongest updates are always last
It’s silly how people don’t realize that the main unbalancness lies in the current potential system.. I’m sick of explaining it <.<.
Anyway.. I see the re-organization updates more as "making charas more fun to play agaiN" more than "omg they get stronger¨!111oneone!!)
I know that’s not the artwork for the hero pirate and thief but it sort of gives me an idea. But think its a little to early for the rest of the heroes now that we they just got legend a while ago, things need to cool down a bit.
what about db?? Anyone can confirm if they will get revamped along wif the thief class?
I expect WH hacks to be back in gms…. -_-
nice post max 🙂
Sweet! I’m definitely hoping for some fun with the Resistance update, although there really isn’t much I can ask for my Battle Mage aside from a new (and interesting) attack or two. That, and maybe (aside from fixing the insta-death from getting 1/1’d with Adv. Blue Aura [unless they fixed that already {which I doubt}]) a tweak to the Auras. Something like increasing Adv. Blue Aura’s defensive capabilities, a fix to Adv. Dark Aura’s damage over time attribute so it’s not just spontaneous while active, and perhaps something about Adv;. Yellow Aura (I rarely use it, so I can’t really say what to do)? I can smell the Wild Hunter revamp from here…
Maybe if God decides to smile on me, I’ll get my wish about the variety to Adventurer classes and not just a total push down the road of being single-minded. Crossing my fingers because my Hero’s starting to get really old, and my Dark Knight is a ton of fun because Dark Knights don’t drop like flies.
I don’t like Thieves and Pirates, so I couldn’t give a hoot about them.
whens first ptch?
and will be there small or big updates for adv.? cuz like chaosonly some dmg + or revamp?
There better be dual blade nerfs, they deserve to be at the bottom for what they attempted to do to my master dark lord
Maybe they’ll make Magic Guard a toggle skill immune to dispel, make Buff Mastery passive again, return MP Eater back to how it was before Chaos, fix our weapon multiplier from being 1.00x, and unnerf Elemental Amplification. Probably not, though.
Sounds good, but I’m expecting a LOT of tweaks and revamps from skills, to animations, to other skills besides dealing damage. Possibly making every skill useful or making them useful for each job. BTW, toggle spells can still be dispelled….
Buff mastery’s toggle, I don’t mind that. Perhaps they can make the wand and staff multiplier to 1.20 and I never heard Elemental Amp. being nerfed…
They did nerf it. It went from 150% to 145% Magic Attack buff at max. Seems small, but that’s still a nerf, which is odd because Jump didn’t make Mages OP at all.
Cool, Resistance revamp, not a nerf, but a revamp
Wooh, I’m excited 8D
I just hope they dont make mages worse </3
No one is saying but YAY for Cygnus revamp! UA gets revamped so I am expecting that their lvl cap is now 200????
Cygnus max lvl 200? if they do that,i sure hope you dont have to get to 200 to make a UA.
max level 160 🙂
yay revamp bowmaster!! SUXX MY BIG BLACK LONG DEEK MERCEDEZ S!LUT:D
Even if with the revamp, i doubt bow masters will have as flashy and fast moves as Mercedes
but mercedez don’t have a BIG BLACK LONG DEEK DO THEY? so technically i win
Now is the time to prepare for the greatest threat that will change the maple world. The Black mage has made his move. 2 more heroes are hiding in the dark. 1 more member of the resistance is missing in action. when will it come to this? Soon…very soon. when the time is right, we will bring the war to them!
ALL KMS PLAYERS! KMST 4RD TERM SIGN UP IS OPEN GO THERE TO HAVE A CHANCE TO ENTER KMST, IF YOU DON’T KNOW ENTER LEAFRE.NET AND GO AT KMS News
Is this an official nexon quote or did you just made that up?
Woah Max 122 email subscribers! Good for you~
Max any chance you can post about how things work in Kms? Like cube drops the whole cash shop system and everything else that makes kms better and gms greedy monkeys who copy & paste. And give crap like ctf.
Cubes don’t drop…
I can’t help notice… is that Thief ( last picture with the pirate ) holding a throwing star and a dagger O.o?
It’s a throwing star.
This patch looks fun, changing it up for everyone. I just hope to God they finally balance it to their satisfaction this time x_x
Honestly, the number one issue the original mages have is their reliance on a flaky, dispel-able Magic Guard. They need to make that buff Toggled like they do with buff mastery and teleport mastery so once cast the only way it drops is by player choice. Notice Evens and Battlemages aren’t based on the fail that is the magicguard system… Nexon knows how crappy that skill is.
Turning Magic Guard into a toggle is a trivial change that needed to get done like 4 years ago. For ugly zones with no safe area (like Future Henesey/Stronghold), an option to log on with that critical buff up would be even more useful but that would be a trendsetting addition.
Push comes to shove, I’d gladly have magic guard removed as a skill entirely and just have the basic mechanic be always on the moment a mage takes first job.
Holy shit. l hope they wont fuck up my lovely Dit. THIVES FOREVER!!!!
Does Nexon reorganize many thing? o.O
They always reorgannize skill in many job begin Chaos, Jump, Legend and now will be a new patches o.O
Hope NX will create a creative patches than organize and organize, though I loved they organnize Resist skill
Thank you very much max! 😀
And good luck getting in KMST 4th term~~
Just wait until next year. Something big are coming to maplestory?
O.o
Lol, someone didn’t even bother finishing up the thief/pirate artwork before putting it up.
how many revamps ar we going to go through?
anyways, what i want to see for arans is- let’s say you have 100 combo, you use combo drain that costs 30 combo. instead of being reset to 0 combo, we should have 70 WHO AGREES???!!!!!!!
for battle mages, i sorta wanna see them change them back to the way they were first released
and for adventures, they REALLY need to boost damadge for 1/2 jobs….
when will the thief hero be released?
ok bye…
oh and evans need something like mp drain
i buy pots-300
20 minutes later
all gone….
wow max, you might be as good as me now!
is this the actuall spadow or no?……….
Pretty sure real Spadow has his Viper for his picture when he comments. So I doubt its the real one.
fake, spadow’s profile comes with a “shinsoo”
Eurgh..this doesn’t sound too good. Hope thieves aren’t changed too much, they’re alright the way they are atm..
They are buffing all the other classes because of the recent poll. Nexon didn’t want to make us wait for all these revamps so they just boosted all of the classes to be on par with the newest classes because they also want some diversity in the classes.
soo… the hero’s are Aran Evan and ResistancE?? How bout DBs? what are they?… seriously… i feel this is so one-sided… i mean is DB revamp with thieves ‘complete’ REVAMP? Okay, i ask you all…. is thieves really that OP?? Are pirates really that BAD? (please excuse me on pirates, cause i notice pirate ain’t half-bad to other job. They are quite good)… Thieves… i think they are a-O-K to me… they aren’t OP… people just made them looked OP in fact thieves needs good EQ to make them GODLY… so dun complain…
For example… Mech… during release, i might say that are quite OP just like Dual Blades during release too, and when Big Bang… i felt they got nerfed badly but when Chaos they became the Number 1 solo-er for bosses? (correct me if i am wrong) and Mech got nerf during Chaos?? Anyway… after watching those Insane Players (sorry if i offended anyone here ><) videos on how godly they damage on bosses… i think Cannon Shooters are quite left out compared to Mercedes and Demon Slayer… i Watched one person Mercedes and he is really really Insane, but i respect that because he loves Maple, he solo-ed HT 153seconds? *others* and a Demon Slayer who solo-ed whole zakum 1minute ++…. So ya… is the potential system that destroyed the balance in the game… and i also do not know what is Nexon thinking too… Sometimes they really disappointed us a LOT….(You know what i mean)..
For me, i personally love Thieves Job, and i really really HOPED they would really make them for the better good… and WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO HATING DBs? WHAT DID THEY DID TO YOU?!…
** Warriors… They are good rushers~ everybody always wants a Dk in a party for Hb…
** Archers… Usually its BowMasters, for their Hurraine b4 Mercedes release or Resistance Release…
** Magician… Bishops!…. Holy Symbol and bless….
** Thieves… Night Lords!<– everybody always Preferred NL for bossing now, dun they? =3
** Pirates… Both are good. Personally i gone bossing with them, they combination is quite COOL!…Vipers/Bucanneers for Speed Infusion… Faster DPS….
So… i do complain sometimes (who says i never, i am a human too.) but sometimes we just have to accept the hard Fact and get on with it… and i know some of us thought better skills for the jobs they love, including me… I know how the LEGENDS are really "over-powered" in some ways which they not?? xS…
wow “Average Guy”
u have too much time. You know… barely any1 is going to read that paragraph?
its just….too…long
this is just a tenth of it…. so yeah… i know but no harm done on stating what seems right… o.o
This is a good news. Getting updates for the last. I hope we thief dont need anymore summoning rock and hope get a multi mobbing skills other than avenger ..
Best for last.
wait, why do warriors, mages and archers get a second reorganization wdf?
They obviously need one. Look at the massive Evan buff in this update. It completely unbalances these updated and the ones not. (iirc Evans have 2.6x DPS of Heroes now). They need to balance these “Heroes” well with the Adventurers, or else there’s no real reason for people to make Adventurers. Resistance’s buff is actually decent for balancing purposes. Evan and Aran’s buffs are just…unbalanced.
Well, I kinda see where nexon is going with this. They obviously want the “Heros” to stand out more because, well, they are the “Heros” aren’t they?
Resistance needs to keep up.
Give archers, mages, and warriors a little somethin somthine so that they don’t flame.
Thieves and Pirates have kinda been left out for the past few years, and to be honest, they have gotten kinda boring; however, Shads gettings SP and FJ was well deserved in BB. Dual Blades are kinda ify atm though. Not sure what they plan on doing for them.
Yeah, this all seems good to me 😀
Pirates seriously need some 3rd job revamp!! I mean BOTH of them!! Buccaneers, as a melee class, get ks-ed easily because both skill series ( Transformation & Energy ) take time to load, even with max charging. 4th job, because of Barrage, I’m satisfied.
No much to comment to gunslingers as I didn’t played one before.
Edit : but watching them being unwanted until Battleship aids them, I think Gunslingers really need it as well.
After this patch,wild hunter compared to other job do they still standing good in bossing?
