kMSt ver. 1.2.409 – Thief and Pirate Reorganization!
Almost immediately after the new entry in Inkwell’s Secret Diary yesterday, the new skills for the Thief and Pirate jobs has been released to Tespia! Look past the cut for skill information (all at max level)!
The playstyle for Vipers has completely changed in my opinion, and Captains have become much more summon oriented! How do you feel about the changes?
Also, Horntail has become an instanced dungeon! That makes two bosses (along with Zakum), I wonder when they’ll release the two in the regular server, because as of now they’re only instanced in Tespia…

Orange Mushroom's Blog 
first ~jonny
second xD
Third
Quit it with this stupid first second ect. bullshit. It’s annoying and basicly spam
shut up
Moo!
Moo!!
Moo
Moo
Boo
WICKED!!!
THE BEST!
I WILL BE MAKING A PIRATE SOON!!
one question: how does transform work? is it just for the moves or is their a state?
There’s no more Transform state. You just ‘summon’ the transformed spirit now.
oh. what?
so what your saying is that its not you.. its just a figure infront of you? that uses the move and dies out?
Basically.
These aren’t Corsairs and Buccs anymore. No more Transform. No Demo. No Battleship. No Backspin blow. No barrage. No Nothing… Atleast we get this Kamehameha, Full Map attack and a quicker replacement for Barrage, and more wep atk buffs since we dont have 40 anymore.
No, they aren’t. You know why? They’re actual pirates now.
Buccs aren’t Super Sajyins, and that little toy boat that sairs relied on looked pathetic. It’s leading to a more interesting playstyle that holds true to the job title =]
FUCK you! I LOVED that little ass boat us sairs barely fit in! D; Whole reason i made it in the 1st place!
well now you get a tight ass giant octopus
shut the fuck up
Omg! Awesome changes!!
Good as always. In my opinion, They should have kept Avenger/Band of Thieves and remove Carnival Edge, since Shadowers have Savage blow…
2nd
YAY!
They gave sairs our precious snipe aaaw fxck it
L>removal of sair’s snipe
I support this message.
I just jizzed my pants
This update was meh D:
NLs become mbobers AND bossers
Pirates lose their signature moves
Quad throw? They could been more creative
They need someone to give them innovation
This is quite amazing. I say they did a really good job on these classes though I am dissapointed with Buccs as they are less melee than they used to be…
WTF ok i admit its gonna be exciting playing Bucc [Viper] but WTH? DEMO IS GONE? WHAT THE SHYT ok im sorry for cussing but ST TOOOO OMFG but then again this fist enrage seems very awesome and this Energy Blast seems just like a MEch blast which kinda confuses me somehow and Max wheres Speed Infusion? is it removed? O.O Im cool now im cool -__-
Cannon shooter have cannon bazooka which is exactly the same
SIMPLY AWESOME
WHY DID NEXON DELETE DEMOLITION?!! >:C
assaulter was missing from the chief bandit updates……
Assaulter was deleted
I’m sorry to say they have stripped buccs of everything that makes them unique.
GJ Nexon.
But they have even more unique skills.
not they arent unique skills with thiis parchet noob
excuse me, Vipers, still have 1 of their unique skills left. with transform gone, we still have energy charge, of which Nexon decided to focus on more by removing transform. Thin before complaining
*think
Your an idiot, how does energy charge make us unique? There is plenty of classes with similair ‘charging’ systems. Besides, nobody makes a class for just energy charge. Buccs are pathetic now, completely ruined the playstyle.
Awesome skill change
Bullet Smash ( Banzai Bill Ripoff )
I Don’t get what does this means :
Edge Carnival: Slash an enemy in front of you at the speed of sound for 122% damage 8 times, gives you 8 Assassinate Points (master level: 20)
Assassinate: damage has been increased from 600% to 740%, when used you accumulate Assassinate Points which can be used to increase your damage or get buffs, Dark Sight is no longer required but if used you gain a 150% damage increase, cooldown time of 5 seconds, animation was renewed
I’m not to clear on Assassinate Points either, but I think its used with Shadower Instinct.
I’m wondering if the Karma that Db also get stacks with Thorns from their 4th job?
I’m kinda sad for the sairs now because everybody wanted to be a sair for the boat and especially now that the boat skill gets a permanent effect in Chaos.
I wonder how they’re are gonna be played now, its a complete change of that class.
I’m glad that the thiefs finally know what they’ll be getting in the future, flashy skills, nice buffs, etc… but why don’t Db’s get an extra mastery skill for their katara’s like Shadowers and Nightlords get for their daggers and claws?
Oh well can’t ask that actually because I haven’t seen what the new weapon formula will do for Db in Chaos (I’m a eMS player) so it might not be necessary.
Anyways thanks again for letting us all know what will be coming in the near future of MS and keep up the good work.
Shadowers….
WHAT HAS NEXON DON TO YOU?!!! :C
They made them into DBs! ):
In what way? Last I checked bandits were the original damage stackers, and when Dual Blades came along, it felt like an upgraded bandit with a lot of invisible frames. Now, us bandies get decent skills for once, and (I’m grateful that my ‘nate was maxed first, now) since many of the skills add “assassinate points,” assassinate seems to be our central attack. Probably a mix of SB, C Edge, another skill that adds ‘nate points, and then a macroed ds + ‘nate would be intense.
Tired of everyone hating on new content. This stuff keeps the game fresh people. If we kept it the same way, you would’ve grown up and gotten bored of it.
*invincible
Damn Straight
Muspell Haim is Foreign Spell (at least that’s the translation on Basil).
I don’t like how I they removed drain, avenger, and alchemist…
what happens to assaulter, shadow shifter and smokescreen? they screwed up assassinate 😦 no summoning rock though 😀
smoke bomb= Smokescreen
They didn’t screw up nate because cd is shorter then the time you would have to spend in ds for same dmg. Ds now only makes nate stronger
Um… This may sound like a very… novice question but:
Does the summons from the Gun-using Pirates (Octo-gunners) get any knockback from the guns their using? The gatling skill has 4 little octopuses holding it in place and the really big one seems to be firing recklessly. Also do they use a shotgun, sniper, and other assortments of gun-related weapons in their skills? And does the Sniper skill kill any monster? (ex: Lvl 120 uses skill against event monsters) And how do you glide with Gunners? Is it the funny green effect some pirates seem to have that makes a sound like an alien ship is descending?
I’ve never played a pirate past level 20 (including Thunder Breaker) and my questions about knock-back affecting Octopuses are from my knowledge of mishandling a gun. (Seems like you can get blown very far away) Go ahead and call me a n00b or the like. You have plenty of reasons to call me that since I don’t understand why people choose higher weapon/magic attack over stat increases in their equips.
Apparently, science is not applied in maplestory, thus the octopus does not receive any knockback since the developers do not care about animals. This is also proven in the battleship flying in mid-air when it is a ship! HELLO?!
WHERE THE FUCK IS BATTLESHIP!!???
Deleted.
I’m very sad for what happened to corsairs
does anyone know when this/ the pirate revamp will be released in gms?
Mai 2012
Will there be a new skill look change for Heroes or New skills soon? anyone got news on thief legend?
they should remove
NEW SKILL: Pirate Style: Unafraid of death, pirates pose for attacks and increase attack by 30, status resistance and elemental resistance by 30%, and reduce avoid by 240 for 180 seconds (master level: 30)
NEW SKILL: Crew Commandership: With better leadership, each crew member summoned by Assemble Crew’s damage is increased by 10% and each member gives a different effect when active (Muirhart – increase defense and accuracy by 10%, Valerie – increase total damage by 10%, Jack – increase HP and MP by 10% and increase speed by 20%) (master level: 10)
NEW SKILL: Captain Dignity: As a dignified captain, increase your defense and magic defense by 600 and reduce damage inflicted on you by monsters by 20% (master level: 20)
and add battleship and battleship skills again -_- them sounds useless
Uh excuse me, even though im losing my ship, i will gladly take a 20% damage reduction buff. Why? Sairs currently are a little bit like glass cannons. When i first saw the skill changes i was distraught, but now i think im going to like them.
Lololol, bye bye Battleship.
Max,something about Dark sight that you don’t mention is “MP #mpCon 소비, #time초 간 그림자에 몸을 숨김. 이동속도 #y 감소 –> MP #mpCon 소비, #time초 간 그림자에 몸을 숨김. 이동속도 #y”，Changed – y (0 –> 110)，any idea what does it mean?thank you!!
I don’t play a buccaneer
But wtf happened
No more transform?
I bet itll be changed back soon and the new red
Energ charge thing for buccaneers Is ugly in game
Btw is that Cygnus on the maple warrior animation?
r u serious? those skills r useless? pirate style alone gives 10 more atk than dumb battleship… i dnt want to stand on a platform and spam balls all day. im glad we’re getting this update. RF is buffed… we get summons… ultimate… a sniper and shotti…. i think sairs r all set if u ask me.
maybe because youre a new player im a old player in gms and well if your a new on pirate stuff u dont know what it means having a unique mount :p this is why most of people make sair because the ship,,and also corsair basicly are turning into bm/wh/marksman wannabe
i completely agree with you on the last part… old maple still rules….
shit changes. get over it. in with the new. out with the old nub
I’m sure that was how Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini explained things to the citizens of Russia, Germany, and Italy.
I guess I wouldn’t expect someone like you to understand what this update does. This game is slowly turning to shit. The classes used to be unique in their playstyle which helped bring variation to the game. I don’t want to be in a party where everyone is of a different character class and we all have the same set of skills. The game was fun because of those skills that no other class had. Night Lords and Sairs are basically Bowmen, Bandits are DBs, and Buccs are warriors…We’re sad because they’re killing the game.
To everyone else, I think this all started with giving classes other than mages an ulti.
I guess we’ll see how things go…
You seriously just compared a Maplestory patch to fascist leaders circa mid 1900’s? How pathetic. Shit does change. Maplestory isn’t the same cuz it sucked. These patches are because the classes sucked. Who cares if “ship is gone,” maybe now people will actually invite you to parties and you’ll be useful to your teammates? Or would you like your horrible skills and garbage dpm back. Yup okay. If you don’t like it, quit. Nobody will miss a stupid whiner when it doesn’t accomplish anything. Maplestory if changing, if you don’t like then get off because you can’t do anything about it.
and also we had a ultimate before -_- airstrike they just changued and added 10 seconds more :p
exactly..
they should improve those Battleship skills and Airstrike….
Dissagreed. Removal of Battleship and ST were complete bullshit. I didn’t care about removal of snatch, demo, cannon or torp. But removal of ST or Battleship? Complete bullshit. Find some other ways to buff us up than stripped us of our dignities. I mean what is so fucking hard about removing demo and snatch and putting fist enrage and energy blast, also buffing Barrage? Nexon needs to think twice before laying out this bullshit.
Can someone tell me which skills replace what, for example I have passed Shadow Stars 30 so when this revamp hits what skill will be replacing it so that it will also have it’s mastery level to 30.
can anyone send me the kmst character and skill wz?
Do pirates keep the skill revenge?
yes, i assume that the “counter” skill animation change is just revenge… simply because it has never been removed in previous patches and doesnt have nething about it here. although there is a skill called viper support that grants 15% dmg increase to all party members…
Im sad, buccaneer(My Main) get revamped and nerf at the same time. T.T
i main a bucc and i think the revamp is great but kinda stupid since ST is taken away and Demo and wheres Speed Infusion??!?!?!??!?
Speed Infusion is still living. Sadly my barrage wil be removed
Barrage is that thing Fist Enrage got name changed got changed to main bossing skill and animation changed
Actually, if my math is correct, combination of Guard Crash and Fist Enrage is enough fist power to take on a Dual Blade and also make Sacrifice looks like shit. But I don’t like the looks of Vipers without ST.
If buccs just keep summon transformed spirit to hit instead of being THE transformed spirit, what’s the difference between buccs and Evans?? ( No hate )
>_>
U have a Dragon and a Yellow/Orange Spirit Attacking WITH U so its two ppl attacking on some attacks Evans they r lazy they let their dragon do all the work
Why delete my Band Of Thives? Why change the teleporting Assaulter????WHY CHANGE THE SAVAGE BLOW ANIMATION???? NEXON!!!!!!
this savage blow aint as nice as the old one huh?
i think it looks way better actually and at least the damage was increase :p
Savage Blow Animation Imo looks cooler. I totally agree with ya with Deleting Band of Thieves/Changing Assaulter to Muspell Haim. In my opinion, Edge Carnival should be replaced again to replace at least Assaulter since it’s our signature move, and it makes our combos pretty swell.
I think that the Boomerang Step has a nice new animation 😮
agreed. It looks like a boomerang step, literally. Also, I think SB could use a fresh face, and while I will miss my assaulter and band of thieves, the other skills must make up for it. Nexon Korea would not take away skills unless they thought they were superfluous in the new update.
No more ST… =___=”
Like how I posted on southperry…
It seems like NL just traded in its power for weaker flashy skills
I don’t like how they removed the useful NL skills and replaced them with some more useless skills
Removed Drain ~> f4
Removed Alchemist and Avenger ~> FRICK!
as a mobbing skill Avenger is way better than Wind Talisman/Shuriken Burst
Wind Talisman is the same as Shuriken Burst just Wind Talisman sacrifices damage for push, Remove one of them or both and give us back a drain type skill and or a guard type skill since NL doesn’t seem to have gained any more survivability other than an additional 10% hp.
also they split venom just to waste skill points, they should just keep it 4th job and give us back alchemist and avenger in 3rd job for NL and Band of Thieves to shadowers
Shade Split looks like replacement ninja ambush, scrap it! We don’t need another useless mobbing skill.
would be better if shadow web was replaced by purge area
purge area looks nice but if it doesn’t follow you around or affect bosses then it is going to suck and I mean we already have dark flare; another skill like that really seems redundant maybe they should add the dark flare effect in purge area and call it Dark Area instead.
Oh yeah, FK sudden Raid! Why the hell do they think giving all thieves a ultimate is a good idea. It does not match the play style that current thieves are used to.
oh yeah, like how the night walkers skip triple throw NL should also skip it!
i know right~ this fringing sucks!
Aculy shade spirit is a BoT style skill which hits up to 6 mobs 2 time.
One question, which one is faster, Hurricane or Rapid Fire?
They have same speed 8 bullets/arrows per second
but :p bowmasters get ADV FINAL ATACK WHICH GIVES EXTRA BULLET :X
BUT WE GET SNIPE ^__^
But Merc gets all 3 (:
Mercedes have snipe? o.O?
Mercedes was supposed to get Dual-Snipe but Nexon ended up removing it because of what it would do to the class. As much as I would have loved to have Dual-Snipe and Hurricane they figured out before it’s release that it would be a bit broken.
It depends, really. If you don’t count in AFA it’s RF, since it’s more mobile than Hurricane, but then if you do count AFA, it’s Hurricane, all the way.
Great boost to Night Lord. Waiting for this update to come to MapleSEA!!!
i completely agree honestly i think they mad sins and night lords better more choice of skills and not as boring -_-
ic
does nexon wake up in the morning and go what can we do to screw with class this time.
I love how no one notices that they removed meso up.
I also love how they gave thieves and pirates ultimates and not archers and warriors.
i love how you left out the fact that paladins, arans and demon slayers have ultimates.
I love how you left out the dark knights and the heros.
heros dont have an ultimate.
They do. Aran has Tempest and Evan has Dark Fog. Durrrr.
i love how you’re not on the point. i forgot dks have roar, but heroes? what ultimate you talking bout yo
Shout is a REALLY weak mini-ultimate
FUS ROH DAH
Mages should be the only classes to get an ulti IMO.
That’s how it was in vanilla and that’s how it should be now.
that and whats the point of a cooldown when every class had an ultimate?
Meso Up is useless anyway, even the top monsters drop no more than 1~2k mesos
does smoke bomb needed to be activated for the critical effect cuz in shakar’s blog it says it was a passive effect.just wondering.
Yes..you must hit the mob inside the smoke to trigger the additional critical effect.
NLs need drain 😐
I shall second that.
I like the fact that Sin’s have hp draining abilities for bosses that has potion cooldowns (LHC, etc.) or no potion use like Mu Lung Dojo. Although it is rarely used, it serves its purpose well.
So yeah…no Drain is a BIG letdown. They didnt even bother replacing it with something similar 😥
Other than that….well have to try the skills to see for ourselves if it’s trully a letdown.
I think nexon might want players to make UA NLs so they can get a hp sucking att.(Vamp)
Now I’m not totally sure if it does this effect so please do not critizise if I’m wrong.
Dissagree. NL’s are just fine without drain. All it does is distract you from DPSing to heal ur self. Derrr
Geez people, damage or drain? Make up your god damn mind.
Im speechless… time for a class name change -GunMaster-<sub bowmen class
FK U NEXON
FK u nigga -_- quit blaming nexon kms does it first 😛
…Nexon owns kms -.-
Cept the Korean Nexon is better than NA Nexon. They actually do things. It’s just NA Nexon in general that’s a pile of shit.
Korean Nexon doesn’t fund Nexon America as much as it should. Even though Nexon Korea takes better care of their business it doesn’t change the fact that they really dropped the ball with this update.
It does make me a little sad seeing…
“FK u nigga -_- quit blaming nexon kms does it first :P”
…really?
I think muspell haim is just konglish for muspelheim, the Norse land of fire, although I can’t fathom why.
Also FFFFFUUUUu they removed my precious maple warrior bikini girl! Screw your battleships, this shit is royally screwed!
NEW SKILL: Purge Area: Create an area around you where up to 8 monsters’ attack and defense will be decreased by 30% and their speed will be decreased by 60 for 4o seconds, cooldown time of 40 seconds (master level: 30)
Can this skill stack with Paladin’s Threaten?
If not, then Paladin became useless.
If yes, then Boss defense won’t exist anymore.
Muspell Haim is most likely Muspellheimr, otherwise known as the realm of fire in Norse Mythology. I have no idea why a skill would be named like that. It isn’t even related to fire. /nerd
haha Nl’s survivability is still low, they Took away ST ^.^ and sairs just became bowmen wanabies i mean they ripped of a doggie huricane and now they got snipe why no just make is a bowmen sub-class and get it over with IMO. all in all a very interesting update -.-
Not to mention that they took away drain that makes NL a class to Pot Burn with.
awesome patch when is in gms
NO ME GUSTA! quite disappointing for a bucc… but still hoping for the best to come… to MapleSEA.
Auraknightz 27980~31320 corsair of broa would like to say 2 things
1.FKUNEXON
2.퍽큐낵선 – there goes my main, down the drain t>common 120% dex for luk vip gun for claw ………..
Why Night Walkers don’t get Triple Throw?????
They do for 2nd job Lucky SSeven for 1st 2nd triple throw 3rd quad and 4th Quad throw
oh wait NWs hmmm
they get quad throw better o.o
I think that NEXON is mad…XD
Obviously, we really made a correct decision of our vote= =”
Then we can be thinking the jobs who we want to be stronger in the next voteXDD
I love shadower animation very much…..
GJ Nexon
yea i agree with that 🙂
I love shadower skill animation
GJ nexon
DO Thunder Breakers still get Sharkwave?
Probably. That’s their signerature move. Though clearly Nexon does give a shit about Signerature moves.
damn.. sairs are.. how you say… OP now..? I mean.. their snipe is effing ridiculous. 800% damage on a boss while ignoring 40% of their defense? While their at it, its a 100% crit that hits 4 times? and its only a 5 sec cool down? my dragons roar is only a 10 second cool down and it becomes usable pretty fast, so can you imagine a 5 sec cool down?
thats just effing crazy damage there… especially at 800% damage… that’ll take out a huge chunk of hp from any boss…
just like Marksman’s Snipe… They do 6x 720% on bosses with 40% ignored defense if i am not mistaken… with a 5 seconds cooldown when maxed….OP?? we do not know how one thing is for sure… NEXON SUCKS at revamping these two jobs…
yeah forgot to mention about mm. but for mm, they do not have an attack like hurricane or rapid fire tho. i have heard that ultimate strafe somewhat rivals hurricane, but not nearly as fast. anywho, i think MM deserves it the very least since they lack the ability to shoot a billion arrows in a few seconds.
but! with that being said, even MM’s snipe IS OP as well… thats just… stacks of damage… i mean, can you imagine if a drk’s sacrafice hit as much as sniped did? OP! but for drk, they only hit once (well twice with this update, but only at 400%).
anyways, agree, nexon is lacking in these updates. i thought the union update was rather good, but this…? it feels like their just slapping skills together in a montage/collage sort of way, were anything goes.
Losing ship is the real hard part for Sairs, though, not this snipe rip-off….
oh c’mon…. this is so one-sided…. seriously… i guess NL become more fragile then it already is.. Shadower is just too flashy… @.@ NL and Shadowers Getting Ultimates? WHAT THE F***…. is like you are taking past DB’s Skills and giving it to them… all the self-buff like DB’s thorns (plus wa)…. is just like copying this and that… with flashy animations… that’s all…
And what the heck happened to the pirates?! where is the battleship? Corsair most important skill… Vipers…. urgh.. dun get me started….. anyway WHAT The heck NEXON… what are you doing?
you know i rather have the old thieves and pirates then this Too flashy crap…..
So disappointing…
btw thanks max for the info. ^.^
Since thief do not have any keen eye left to increase their attacking range, won’t this means that they will attack with their original attacking range? Assassin types that has no keen eye attacking range is about the same as magicians only a slightly shorter range.
Does this means that they are now attacking mobs in their originals range or they made it like the gunslinger class as they have already had a long range attack to begin with and do not need any increase range skills. i find it curious cause archer still has archer mastery to boost the attacking range..they could just made it all like gunslingers right?
Nice… not anymore Transformation & Super Transformartion Skill…
The worse patch in all maple world
…We can this job PIRATE?!
really i don’t want this update -_-
Transformation and Super Transformation is the unique skill for Viper/Buccaneer and the fucked up Demolition.
in case you havent noticed, besides transformation and ST, ENERGY CHARGE also happens to be one of the viper’s unique skills, of which Nexon decided to focus on more rather than going super saya-jin all the time.
How is it unique when winds have see the wind which is the same??
omfg they took out Barrage, Lightning Charge and the other good stufffffff that makes the class unique…sigh, my Christmas letter to Nexon: Dear, to who ever made the fricking Advance of the Union update, you suck…
Holy crapp. This update is rather shitty for some classes
They just made shadower more flashy and alil bit damage increase. 7/10
They just overpowered NLs with quad throw but made them fragile, 5/10
They just made the pirates look stupid and took away their unique skills. 3/10
EH,WHAT THE HELL?! NEXON YOU NEED TO HIRE ME NEXT FOR IDEA PRODUCTIONS.
If they had time to do all these, i rather they go and make fking new 4th job mob skills for bishops and other classes. wtf they have been using AngelRay, BigBang since the era of 4th jobs and nth is still done to change this crap.
Honestly, this update is the worst. They took out most of the things these jobs were known for. It’s just garbage now… Make the lvl cap 300 so we don’t have to lose any skills >:O
Agreed. Savage blow. Bot. Avenger. Transformation. Battleship. These were like the skills that represented these jobs. Now most of them gone, some have skills to replace them…
Who can tell me that why the “Energy Charge” from 200 to 8100！？@@”
I think it’s for a longer duration when using.
it means you gain more energy per attack charging it faster… duration seems to have remind the same 60 seconds
I’m quite disappointed with this update. I know I’m just reiterating what others have said, but why would Nexon remove Transformation and Battleship? Why give pirates ultimates? Why completely change Buccaneer’s combat style? All I wanted was a damage increase, and maybe a few new skills for each class. Not this. At all.
F*** YEAH!!! Do Corsairs have new Battleship look???
I would like to see
Battleship went bye-bye. D:
IT DOESNT SAY ASSAULTER IS REMOVED
IF SO
IM HAPPY
AS LONG AS BSTEP HAS IFRAMES AND I CAN JUMP WITH IT
AND ASLONG AS ASSULTER WORKS LIKE IT HAS BEFORE
SHADOW SHIFTER SEEMS TO BE THERE TOO
Buccs need Drain
and backspin blow
and transform was awesome
T^T
Drain is one of the most useful skills in the game
Not really. I used it alot from 80-90 then i stopped using it.
Who cares about Assaulter?
You want 250% x 2 or 122% x 8? (Edge Carnival)
It’s 500% damage against 976% damage.
Edge Carnival is WAY BETTER.
The usefullness of assaulter isnt about damage
I could care less about damage
Its the mobility that makes it awesome
getting to the other side of the enemy
any cb/shadower knows how usefull it is
training, bossing, moving around, w.e
and assaulter does
870%(290 * 3) damage + its mobility makes it more usefull
than edgecarnival(fatal blow ripoff)
why not just boost SB
instead of giving us 2 similar skills
assaulter is 315*3(+25% BS passive effect).. so its 945%…
Is it just me, or does no-one understand damage calculation?
290% *3 does NOT equal 870%.
290% * 3 simply means that 3 attacks do 290% damage EACH, not stacked….
Saying 290% *3 = 870% gives players(especially new ones) a VERY wrong image of the ACTUAL damage you do. After all, 3x 290% might be stronger OR weaker than 1x 870%, depending on the hits you make. This due to the Damage range.
Second, I agree with someone up above, who said that “Things change”. We can’t expect a game like maplestory to build on the same system forever. Apart from that, Most classes got revamps already, now it’s the Pirate’s and Thief’s turn. In the future revamps will happen more often, so classes keep changing. No use in arguing over it, or deeming it “WTF TROLLOLOLOL HAX” etc. GMS currently has approx 24 or 25 classes, and I personally think this is what makes maplestory so attractive. The will to completely re-create classes so that the “Story will become truly unique” for any player. After all, Maplestory is not an MMO where a said situations exist. We can choose to fight the Black Mage or ignore him all together, except when playing the storyline-based classes, being the Heroes, Knights of Cygnus and the Resistance.
This really encourages people to go their own way with whatever character they wish to play.
I’d say GJ Nexon, and I look forward to seeing more work 🙂
PS
I’m simply “at peace” with anything they do. I enjoy PLAYING Maplestory, not LIVING it. Whatever skill they give or take, I will keep playing, just because I like it, and not to be the “best lvl 200 epicness signature for my job” most ppl here seem to want to be.
Who cares about Edge Carnival? It’s easier to do combos with Assaulter. And as Alt said, the mobility makes it great.
Too bad, so sad. QQ more.
Nexon efffed up pirates REAL good this time…atleast Sins will have mob skills BESIDES avenger! and wtf!? bandits are the new db?
You do realize that Dbs were ripoffs of shad’s?
How are DBs ripoffs of shads, more like shads are ripoffs of nightlords and dbs with flash jump, shadow partner and sudden raid
More like shads are ripoffs of DBs and Nightlords, doing what they do best , stealing (buffs and skills).
Why wuld they get rid of avenger and battle ship cannon and super transformation? Nexons dumb
I do not understand. Nexon said they would completely change thieves and pirates and you where like “OMGOGOGOG NEXON GIMME UPDATE NAO!”… Now you are bashing on nexon because they took away some skills?
I know right, people expected too high for the Thief and Pirate update.
Agreed, see my post above (dated at January 1, 2012
This was what I was afraid of. lol. But never did I expect them to delete the most popular skills used. This was the ultimate shock.
This is like taking the dough from a bread f3
i have to agree with you on that, but there’s one issue. all the retards around are too in love with super transformation and totally forgetting that energy charge, which happens to be one of the Viper’s unique and vital skills, IS GETTING BUFFED. LIKE MAD.
drain got removed though, sadly.
you people are all after animation and looks of super transformation and overlooking energy charge that served you well. especially during 3rd job.
Wrong,in 3rd job marauders mostly used csb and bsb since energy charge took so very long to charge.Only then we went for blast.
ERRRRRRRRRRRR. Wrong. Marauders used CSB and backspin to rush + charge. Then summersault to fast charge and energy blast to DPS. I could never imagine Marauders without blast.
If I recall correctly, Energy Charge was never an attack.
Couldnt have said it better my self.
Nexon’s skill trend: lame/unoriginal skills with cool animations. Art doesn’t matter when the skill is functionally horribly lame
Well,I nave decided then.I am gonna play my bucc till this (s)hit arrives.Then I’ll play a day or so to see how they killed my beloved class.Then its goodbye maple forever and nexon will forever remain a failed company in my mind that didn’t listen to the players.
MORON. The reason this came out is because they are listening to the players. Every pirate in the world bitched about getting an update, now you are getting what you wanted.
I’m glad Sair’s don’t rely on some shitty battleship to do damage, now they can efficiently deal damage by themselves.. The pirate ship looked 100% gay imo, and people above who complained about debuffs from the passive?
•NEW SKILL: Valkyrie Patient: Permanently increase your defense and magic defense by 500, and your HP and MP by 800 (master level: 15)
Learn to read kids, and lastly.
Thank God Bucc’s lost Transformation and Super Transformation.
How the HELL can you all say we aren’t pirates anymore? NOW WE’RE NOT SHITTY RIP-OFFS FROM DRAGONBALLZ.
Get your balls out of your ass and be happy that you are being listened too, instead of bitching that no one cares about you.
heros (fighter/crusader/hero) the class not aran/evan/mercedes since you dont know your classes
You weren’t being specific. Anyone could be confused with just “Heroes”. You should have said Fighter or Crusader.
all you had to do was read the posts i was responding to which was talking about warriors not having ultimates
DrKs have Roar, and they’re warriors.
Arans have Tempest, and they’re warriors.
Bucc Energy blast = KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Info said assualter chg to muspell haim
Ah, fixed!
Still don’t understand why they are making Corsair/Captains like a mixture of BM + XBM -.-”
This is soooo~~~~ T_T
MAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXX Wheres Speed infusion?
still with Viper!
What do you mean? It stayed the same o_o
Where did u get Stayed the same? im guessing it did since u didnt upload and info of any changes of such
Yup, if I didnt mention something it didn’t change.
Corsair is ruined. They removed the only thing that made it truly unique from different classes: the Battleship.
Without it and the new skills that have been added, we (Corsairs) are now basically Cannon Shooters with Octopi instead of Monkies as summons.
agreed
I seconded this,
I liked in this updates as Sairs are now looking more like a real damn GUNslinger… yes, gunslinger.
We won’t be captains anymore, hell I loved that ship, even if it’s slow and making me looks fragile 😛
We may lost our uniqueness, but the shit maple world still revolves :P. I guess it’s high time we go off the deck and start hitting mobs like our first three jobs.
FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!!! STOP MAKING MAPLESTORY BLOGS!!!! FUCKING DELETE DIS BLOG YOU HACKER!!!! NO ONE LIKES THIEVES OR PIRATES!!!!!!!
DELETE YOUR BLOG NOW!!!! NO ONE LIKES MAPLE OR ORANGE!!!!!!!!
Ignore this troll please, Max. All these comments prove otherwise.
Your blog rocks Max! Keep the great content coming.
Hm, I’m thinking, same IP as the impersonator a while back? Why so obsessed?
Delete your life i supposed?
Lmao, if you hate it why are you here?
^
umadwhore?
I have trouble picturing how Fist Enrage would look in-game.
wait, so no battle ship AND no transform?!!?!?? Don’t get me wrong, some of this stuff is cool, and pirates will still be strong, but why the fuck did they get rid of what made them unique and fun?!
better give us back battleship and super transformation and demolition etc. bastards.
Actually. Really only thing I want back is my ST and Battleship. Only thing I expected was something to make us more powerful. One thing you could do is remove Demo, snatch and Energy Orb and re-add ST. Corsairs, I’m unsure of. Alls i know is without Battleship or ST. Pirates are meer rip-offs of other jobs.
he means hero as in the warrior class that uses axes/ swords. DURRRRRRRRRRR
Pretty decent skills just buc seem to have lost lmao
They should have implented a pimped version of battleship on 4th job and moved down the regular battleship on 3rd job
I mean.. please what? Commerade g’ayship? Lmao.
Oh btw
L> better vids for buc’s and Nl’s ;<
lol , maybe they remove battleship for new hero==
Guys it is only Tespia stage patch so don’t to pessimistic about the skill changes. Wait the patch comes out in real game then criticize it.
I’ve never heard of Tespia patches vs. full-release patches being as dramatic as entire skill book changes or mass skill additions/removals. But maybe this will be a first?
Oh yea this is a Tespia thing isnt it so they might change some stuff we will see in December
Wow corsair is just like a bm/mm without advanced final attack…
max gets the job done man i enjoy this blog 😛
1. Give Dual Blades back Sudden Raid and give them Edge Carnival (Since Dual Blade after all is supposed to be flashy)
2. Get Battle Ship and Transformations back as well as deleted skills
3. Fricking give Muspell Haim to Hermits as well as avenger (Since NightLords really need a mobility skill)
My wishes…
Americans, forever helping to maintain my viewpoint of them that they dont think properly.
*sighs deeply*
I am a Viper lover, and i have to say that the revamp was shocking as transformation was removed. But its actually still pretty good overall. THEY.FRIGGING.BUFFED.ENERGY.CHARGE.WHICH.IS.ANOTHER.OF.VIPER’S.UNIQUE.SKILLS.INSTEAD.OF.ONLY.TRANSFORMATION.
Stop overlooking energy charge. if you actually look carefully, nexon actually somewhat integrated transformation moves into energy charge instead. except for the ANIMATION (which in no way does it affect damage).
Also, i feel that they should not have removed mp recovery + drain as they removed another of the Viper’s special traits. POTLESS TRAINING.
I was also glad that CS blow no longer has a charge time, as that was the big reason why cs blow is weak. AND THEY ALSO GAVE US INFIGHTERS RANGED MOVES. although this may make infighters feel less melee, this actually helps with training as we no longer need to run up to the mob to beat the living crap out of them with our short fists.
And if you people think that Nexon did a horrible job revamping the classes, GO MAKE YOUR OWN GAME AND SEE IF PEOPLE LOVE WHAT CHOICES YOU DO FOR YOUR OWN SKILLS. after that, then go reflect and see if it’s easy to manage your own game. I give them respect for handling Maplestory relatively well all these years.
I have to say that the loss of battleship for Captains was a very sad matter indeed. ):
Nonetheless, the revamps wouldn’t go through if they actually downgraded the classes. So please wait for the official kms patch and see what changes they made from Tespia to the official patch.
*salutes* Once a pirate, always a pirate~! Always be proud of being one!
P.S. sorry for not talking about theives, I am not too into theives so i feel that i shouldn’t share my thoughts on them.
I totally get what ur saying with energy charge seeing how its our only stance skill and all but i feel that in some way you’re missing the point. Energy charge is a unique skill of bucc but its not THE “signature” skill that super transform is. When i first started out my bucc the only thing going for me was how i was gonna get that wicked sick super transform skill. Especially since it takes you forever to charge up that damn bubble during bossing. of course all thats changed now with the bubble becoming more practical and probably higher dmg but its just not the same anymore. Honestly, i was never into super transform for its buff but simply cos it looked so damn cool. if i wanted to create a bucc for dps and some bubble i would have probably made a hero or something. Bucc was cool cos it was simply fun and super transform just made me look badass compared to the other classes(although it did make wearing cash equips pointless). Changing bucc’s gameplay and signature move simply didnt do for me
hmm.. yeah you’re right. Transformation’s coolness was what made me choose a viper over a captain…
but the correct phrase to scream out loud would be ‘signature skill’, and not ‘unique move’. That would make more sense. much more.
i can’t say that im completely satisfied with the removal of transformation, but i still find this update an upgrade over our previous skills. If you actually think through it carefully, it IS quite difficult to revamp pirate skills without significantly changing our style of gameplay.
i feel that they could have made it something like we go into transformation mode when our energy bar is full instead, if they really had to remove transformation.
but anyways, good job Nexon on powering up pirates, and good job to Max on updating us on the patches!
Well, yes math has done the job once again. The new skills added to buccaneer/vipers have improved Viper/Buccaneers quite a bit. Gotta be honest, guard crash + fist enrage means you can take on a DB’s DPS at quite a few bosses with high PDR.
Though, I’d much rather die that receive this revamp. Stab me while you can. Removing ST is like stripping a high military marine if their high rank and giving it to someone else to do your old flashing skills infront of you just to rub it in ur face.
Even though the transformation is in the animations it just doesn’t compare to actually transforming. I mean, you look AMAZINGLY cool while transformed and I play for looks and fun rather than damage. I am not a fan of the new energy animation. It looks very distracting and just… wrong. And yes, we have ranged skills now, but we were supposed to be fist fighters. We should be quick and up close almost like someone who uses a dagger rather than being ranged and what not. Plus the big laser blast is not a skill unique to Buccs, it is definitely just a copy pasta of other characters laser thing. (Sorry, it’s been months since I’ve played but saw this update and had to check it out so I’m a bit rusty on the names of things) And you have to admit that it does take out what people originally looked for in pirates. They are making them so that they scale up to the other new classes which is what people asked for so I suppose beggars can’t be choosers in this situation, but still. I am not a fan but I’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Ahh.. the cut-off portion basically says that transformation isn’t the viper’s only unique trait.
Everyone forgot that energy charge is a unique viper skill as well.
Is “Screw Punch” (mentioned in Dash and Double Spiral) the same skill as Corkscrew Blow?
Yup 🙂
Oh ok, thanks for the confirmation.
Max, were you affected by the Nexon Korea hackings?
Nope~
That’s good to hear. ^o^
OMG Headshot is FRIGGEN EPIC!!!! holyy…..O___O
So.. No punching skill for 1st job Pirates?
maybe because nobody uses it for mobbing…
Well, a lot of people used Somersault and maxed that before Flash Fist(And I believe Flash fist in a lot of guide was maxed last…) So yeah, I guess pre-brawlers need to use Somersault for the rest of 1st job.
Fuck that they just ruined pirates. They’re just pulling shit out their asses now.
Pirates just got more awesome. For all the complaints about Battlecrap and Super Saiyan, those skills were awesome but impractical. It’s the reason I myself never made a pirate and quit a mechanic. Having to actively buff/mount/toggle just to use a set of attacks is a waste of time. Passive skills like Energy Charge are more tolerable, efficient and generally better in every way. Also, having a ranged skill makes the class significantly more versatile. And then there’s the Gunslingers, who have the epic percent octo to tear through everything for massive damage.
However, sins still fail due to survivability issues and shads still BURN MONEY to attack and defend. Ultimately, it’s still not worth playing either class without UNLIMITED DOLLAR WORKS funding them.
what would you mean burn money to attack and defend…? from where I see it, you could just use pickpocket mesos for attacking… the defending part pretty much comes from your meso guard. honestly. if you’re burning mesos at some place other than bosses, you should reconsider your training spots and etc. (just saying for those who don’t know)
Not to be rude or anything.These active skills were the hallmark of a pirate.A pirate requires careful control and a good understanding of when to use which skill.For example while transformed,I cannot use oak barrel and barrage.
In battleship,we cannot climb ladders and stuff.
This things make pirates fun to play
Having to dismount recoil and hop back onto ur boat was the challenge of playing a corsair. If you don’t like it then go back to ur sesame street games like the whimp you are.
The whole reason why Pirates gets changed…. Because of some that just can’t stand the original gameplay of Pirates in the first place.
Pirate sucks balls now. No matter what is said energy bubble doesn’t replace st and comradeship isn’t battleship either. Nice one nexon
Viper got lose themself…
Yeah Pirate got nerf bad. T_T
So much delay for captain in their attacks. Rapid FIre + Headshot for bossing (what a joke)
poop
As a bucc… I play for fun, not damage.
This update really screwed one of the last enjoyable classes up.
Thx Nexon.
I play a bucc and I must say i look forward to this update. I hate paying 30k nx for my clothes and then not seeing it in the end.
It’s quite dissappointing that our survivability with demo is gone but therefor we got that ignoore dmg skill which is cool if you consider our high hp.
One thing i hope is that energy charge buff stacks with att potions as we got our 40att buff from transform removed and they now want us buccs to rely on energy charge much (stance ftw).
Why did you pay 30k nx when you knew that transform was gonna cover it up?
What i forgot to say: for the dojoers, look at endurance it’s way better as you hardly got your charge in dojo.
I ❤ Nexon ❤ they ruined the game
They might as well remove dragon strike and shockwave those skills seem useless add something a bit better
Thanks for the info ^.^
Though this (under the bandit section)
‘NEW SKILL: Fatal Venom: Increases Venom’s skill effects to 5o% chance of inflicting 160% damage every second for 8 seconds, Venom effect can now stack up to three times (master level: 10, pre-requisite: 20 Venom)’
says 5o% instead of 50%.
Nice update but they should have changed most of their old skills to make them better not replacing the skills entirely. But it’s not up to us to decide what to change so either get use to it or play something else.
…Time to Delete my Corsair
Corsair like a duck ! have wing but can’t fly // can swim but not good like fish – -*
This update actually seems like it will help buccaneers, Fist enrage seems quite good and could possibly even replace demo as a bossing skill as it can hit twice or maybe thrice in the time we use demo, as well Dragon strike hits twice and more monsters. I’m not looking forward to the stupid transformed spirit attacking with me its like a slap to the face that I no longer have transformation although it probably was removed itself in an attempt to stabilize our unstable damage ranges.
Un-stable damage rage. Laugh of the day. The only thing that really hit hard was Demolition, which has that highest damage per hit in maplestory. Not highest OVERALL due to slow speed. Go to the Dual Blade section. You’ll know what I’m talking about.
Sair: Lose battleship, rapidfire gets a buff. I can see how that works, as rapidfire isn’t really a training oriented skill, as opposed to the new additions of heavily mobbing orientated skills.
Not really too keen on the extra summoning aspects introduced.
I can see how the sair class is going to work, however.
Dice(x2) + crew command + pirates revenge (if that’s still around) + “continual aim”. Assuming you get lucky and get the better buffs with the skills that have a random choice in buffs.
Does NL attacking range shorten since there is no more keen eye? and does it means that archer are now the only long range classes?
Now that u mentioned it, i was also wondering the same thing, is NLs range lowered? or their like Captain class, no skill that adds range is needed? can someone confirm this.
Nexon actually followed the class names and concepts this time. Corsairs are pirate captain. Captains are in charge of his crew. This is the reason why they have so much summons. I never believed battleship would fit the concept cause captains command and usually do not take control of the ship.
As for NLs they are supposed to be fragile. That’s what makes a range theif class. low survivability and huge damage output.
As for vipers, I dunno what they did.
A Captain is in charge of the crew who are in charge of the ship. How does a Captain not guide the ship?
NEXON UMAD? D:
Keep in mind folks, THIS IS IN TESPIA, these changes are probably NOT final,at least thats what i was told.
Why do they keep making attacks hit more and more times? It really pisses me off.
LOOK OUT, HERE COMES TL;DR!
Anyway, it’s because the uberfunded cashfags hit the damage limit. Now instead of a single 999999 attack, skills do 3+ hits of 400000 or more. Now, to the rest of us, designing Maple around those who funnel all of their money into a “free” game seems ridiculous. But to Nexon, a corporation only concerned with profit, it makes perfect sense to cater to such players.
The reason for these revamps is that all the other players like Krillin and Yamcha (a metaphor for the vast majority of players) fall behind when Goku (the metaphorical abnormally super funded cashfag) pays off Kami (Nexon) to get UNLIMITED HYPERBOLIC WORKS (exp coupons, gach tickets, wheels and all the other game affecting perks the cash shop was never supposed to sell) and goes super saiyan 4 (hits level 120 in 2 days flat, and 200 by the end of the month). His power is so great that regular bosses won’t do. To keep him interested, the plot gods design nigh-unkillable bosses like Frieza (Pick Bean), Cell (Empress Cygnus) and Buu (Black Mage) so that Goku will spend moar moniez to raise his power level until he can defeat said superbosses. Except now he’s the only one who can do it. The other Saiyans (lesser funded cashfags) stand a decent chance, but still can’t do jack. Suddenly, everyone starts to realize that the plot gods do nothing but suck Goku’s dick and begin to lose interest. In order to prevent the game from having as many players as you can count on one hand, everyone else gets a pacifying BUT STILL COMPLETELY INADEQUATE mid season upgrade. Then they get their big debut and kick ass for a short while. Until Goku surpasses them all the next month after more training (throwing more money at the computer screen). Those upgrades once again become obsolete. And then there needs to be another buff. It’s the DBZ factor at work. The more powerful you allow the most powerful character to be, the more FUBAR it makes game balance. Upgrades that the cashfags can take advantage of DON’T HELP AT ALL. They’re fun and all, HOWEVER, the REAL solution to imbalance problems is to take the money out of Maple. If people can’t buy success, if everyone’s given an equal chance to move up based only on hard work, guts and grinding like they were IN THE BEGINNING (anyone else miss those days?) then suddenly the imbalances would disappear on their own. But, like money in politics, it’s no profitable to eliminate corruption. So that’s why Maple will continue being “RUINED FOREVER” every three months. Because in reality, it was RUINED FOREVER the moment someone could buy something other than pets and clothes in the cash shop. Items that allow pets to loot? Gach tickets for rare items? Rings that boost stats? All part of the larger problem.
There is only one answer. SOCIALIZE ALL THE MAPLEZ! Or just play without buying anything. If you don’t buy anything, they lose money from providing you a service for free. All players have to do is continue not buying anything until the money’s out of Maple. Otherwise, buying NX will just encourage them to further ruin any semblance of game balance that may still remain. Even meso farming never ruined the game as badly as Nexon themselves have.
Big wall of text, but explains alot.
get a life. i aint wasting mmine reading that shit lololololololol loser
big wall of text makes big point
+1 like
Youre forgetting that Goku (the cashfag) is the one who provides you (anonymous saiyans) to experience the game for free by supporting Kami (Nexon) with funding.
What is the point of a business that doesnt take/make money? It becomes a charity.
Although I will agree that items from the Cash Shop encourage people to buy more items, it’s their own business.
If you have problems defeating Frieza or Cell, go and organize a big party and ENJOY THE GAME W/ YOUR FRIENDS.
Out of Curiosity, Does Energy Charge still give +20 Att like before? I’ve been trying to compare buffs to see if it at least evens out… Super Trans +40att is going to be missed with Energy Charge’s +20 man we had a +60att buff just being in S.Trans and having bubble… Sooo I just was wondering.. lol thanks in advance!
I think it does, since Max didn’t point out that it gives more ATT now. We have 52.5(7.5 comes from Physical Training, 25 comes from mental clarity and 20 from Energy Charge). So we’re just missing 7.5 more points.
Oh yeah, to add to my post, I bet you probably after this goes to the official servers, It might increase to 30(who knows). We have Double Lucky Dice and Guard Crash, so don’t worry too much about it.
no corsairs are now finally what they were originally meant to be … gunslingers using guns not cannons that belongs to cannon shooters and is most likely why the cannon related moves were removed and switched to moves that utilizes guns and bullets
Where’s db’s sudden raid?
All classes for thieves have Sudden Raid.
Am I the only one who foresaw Battleship getting removed? Just think about it for a second. After Chaos, Battleship didn’t break. Since Battleship no longer broke, any skill that isn’t used on Battleship is utterly obsolete, which is about half of a Sair’s skills. Seeing that, I thought that they’d either remove Battleship or have it be killable like it was before, but seeing that they even said drastic changes were going to occur (“everything but the name will change”), I doubted Battleship was staying.
For Corsairs, I like what they did in general. They made summons much more useful and there aren’t any completely useless skills like before; they fixed what was broken. I look forward to actually playing my Corsair again.
As for Buccaneers, I approve of the Energy Charge buff, but I denounce pretty much everything else. They use ranged attacks similar to Cannoneers, Mechanics, and even Corsairs to the point of redundancy. Ever since Big Bang, it seemed the Buccaneer started to lose its unique style of play. My Buccaneer buddies would take pride in knowing their class arguably took the most skill to use properly out of all the classes, and if used correctly, could abuse their invincibility frames to eliminate potion use during training and even bossing. Most of the skills had cooldowns, so one had to use a variety of skills in conjunction with each other in order to fight properly. After this update, that just seems to have completely vanished. Almost all the skills are spammable, and the new barrage, while becoming spammable, lost its extremely useful invincibility frames in the process. I honestly thought when they revamped Buccaneers, they would make their play more akin to its original style with some damage buffs, but it went in the opposite direction. I severely disapprove of the general changes made to Brawlers.
I don’t really like how Shadowers turned out either, for the most part. Ditching Assaulter? That’s, in my opinion, even worse than removing Transform/Super Transform and Battleship. Assaulter was not only a useful skill for mobility, but it was one of the signature traits of Bandits in general. Removing it and adding Dual Blader-esque skills hinders class diversity, making classes relatively redundant.
Night Lords are pretty alright. I expected Avenger to be knocked down to second job, but new mobbing skills is still along the same lines. Not sure how useful or strong they are compared to Avenger, though. Quadruple Throw…somehow, I saw that coming, hah. Overall Night Lords got a good revamp I’d say.
About Shadow Partner…Does it still use Summoning Rocks or no? I find it pretty stupid how Mirror Imaging, along with other summoning skills from other classes that used to use Rocks (Hawk/Eagle, etc.), don’t use Summoning Rocks but Shadow Partner still does. That was by far the one thing I thought would happen to Thieves, and it’d be a shame if it still does.
Actually I was already thinking battle ship should be removed from corsairs but for a different reason. I mean they are on a ship firing a cannon? Isn’t there another pirate that uses a cannon now? I had already been thinking that they should take away battle ship after I heard that an update was coming for them. Granted I don’t think they should just be like bowman and I don’t have a corsair to be attached to their moves, but I do think they should do cool things like you would see in the matrix, jumping around firing there guns like a real pirate or what ever. You get what I’m saying I’m sure.
I actually find it kind of funny that Battleship is getting removed. The definition of Corsair is a pirate battleship, so the removal of it makes their name seem pointless, in a way.
And no, shadow partner does not use summoning rocks anymore(I know you said more, but I just wanted to comment on those two points).
Fist Enrage is a totally different skill, and IS weaker than Barrage. At max level, Fist Enrage(all together in 8 hits 238%) does 1908% When Barrage(all together in 6 hits, 400% per) does 2400%.
You forgot the part where it’s like 3 times as fast. I swear, all this bitching about taking away Pirates’ unique skills when I’m pretty sure these new ones are exclusive to them…..as a Bucc user myself, I can honestly say that Trans/STrans was nothing more than a gimmick. It could be removed through dispel(but you’d still be transformed), the speed boost could be cancelled if you had dash(which is utterly retarded), and out of the few moves you could do in those forms, only one was even worth anything(Demo, which still was one of the slowest soloing skills in the game). Be happy Buccs are actually competent now, and get used to the new skills just as you got used to the old ones. I hate it when ppl just can’t let go of the past…even when it sucked….
Oh yeah, thanks.
st att and speed buff being dispelled was changed after chaos patch nothing in st gets dispelled, as for dash its useless for buccs and your stupid for putting sp into it. and the fact that we lose 15att and 40 speed/20jump with all our iframe skills doesnt make up for the fact we may break even or do slightly more dmg 1v1.
I’ll take your word on that post-chaos dispel fix(since I haven’t paid much attention to my Bucc since then), but you missed my point about dash. I personally put no points in it(for that stupid fact I mentioned) but the fact that the buff could be overwritten just makes ST look like a problematic mess, which is probably why it was gotten rid of. When you mention iframe skills I assume you just meant Demo since the other iframe skill(corckscrew blow) is MORE abusable now in case you didn’t notice. There are only 2 reasons I can think of as to why anyone would complain over losing Demo to Fist Enrage. One would be that it looked cooler(yeah, ok, I’ll give you that one), and the other would be the beloved iframes. For the second, here’s a thought: Was it mentioned anywhere that Fist Enrage(or any of the new moves for that matter) WON’T have iframes? I already saw some gameplay of the new skills and it looks to me like FE has some. Mix that with how fast and spammable it is and you have a much more functional move than Demo ever was
Quite a few mistakes here for both of you. No, not a few ALOT!
Okay let’s start from the very beginning of your horrible facts. First of all, he’s relating the damage of fist enrage to demo, obviously barrage only hits 24x% damage AT THIS POINT! Thus Fist Enrage is a more powerful skills, yes hits 3-4x faster. No, ST is NOT read the big badass bold letters NOT!! Dispelable. It’s obvious that you came from a private server. Dash also did NOT go over your speed. Only skill that went over the haste effects of ST was haste it’s self, another hint you are from a Private Server. You also had the idea of not even touching dash, like i did DERRRRRRRRRRR. Even if it did go over ST. Demo was slow, yes but also had the highest damage per hit out all all other skills out there.
You two need to do some research before laying down false facts.
lolwut? How new are you to this game, man? No private servers, no lies, no nonsense. Everything I said was a part of the mainstream game and really could happen. Don’t know where you came from with that, but at least it made me laugh a little.
Laugh all you want. The best build of a Viper/Buccaneer would mean leaving Barrage at 1, because the damage difference is no difference since ST is useable every 10-20 seconds, barrage for 10-20 seconds is just a waste of SP. Even so if it were maxed it would sit at 360% not 400% DERRRR again. Play real GMS instead of your incidious PS’s. Explain ur pathetic fact about ST being dispelable? Any pro Buccaneer/Viper would know it is not dispelable.
I’m not retarded I’m a lvl190 GMS Bera Buccaneer.
um… really you have nothing better to do? since your misguided, haste as far as i remember NEVER canceled st speed, dash before bb did (i cant test if it does now, cause i dont have dash on my buc). LIKE i said st effect USED to be dispellable til chaos, i know this for a fact because before chaos i would get mad every time pap dispelled me, then chaos come and i didnt notice a drop in dmg look at my stat and hey look att from st didnt get dispelled. and no i don’t play on private server. oh, how about you go play a buc for a bit before you make yourself look like more of an ass.
as for the fist of rage vs demo im not arguing that it doesn’t do more dmg, im saying we no longer have iframes and the ability to attack from afar.
You’re misguided. After BB ST was never dispelable. Haste always went over ST. Of course you would never know cause you’re posting pathetic facts. Keep crying its so funny.
One thing to say and one thing only. umad? You sound like you’re about to rage. ^.^
Keep trolling you suck at it…
the st transformation state never was dispellable because transformed states, like being a red snail from mano, couldnt be dispelled, the buff portion (the 40att, 40 speed/20jump) of transformation could be dispelled and wasn’t fixed til chaos not bb, and little does that matter now since no part of st can be dispelled or canceled with another skill now… maybe if you played a bucc you would know?
I don’t see the use of having both Dragon Strike and Energy Blast.
Dragon Strike is for when you don’t have energy charged up, Energy Blast is for when you do.
Yeah, but then since getting Energy is so simple(Like you get it full after a single hit), you’re basically going to be spamming Energy Blast the whole time.
Put DS at 1 then leave it there.
nice i think i just might comeback to ms and become a bandit or something. also i wwish they renewed the animations for combo.
i have created a bucc for the transforme skill…
Just now its ghey. I know all other skills is cool.. just….
We summon someone to atk. Its the laziest job.
Do the corsairs still have *pirates revenge* skill I don’t seem to see it?
Pirate’s Revenge = Counterattack.
IMO, Viper is simply cool. 8 x 999999 is the best output among all str based chars.
Okay, after reading a solid 250ish posts I’m gong to lay down my opinion.
-Warning big wall of text-
-Pirates
~Corsair/Captain~
Okay, first of all. No, just no. There were better ideas that deleting the signature move, Battleship from all of Captain/Corsairs abilities. Now Corsair/Captains are just weak little rip off’s of Bowmasters and Marksmen/Crossbowmasters. Honestly, Snipe? RF Enhancement? This is just a mix of Bowmaster and Marksmen/Crossbowmasters and a ripoff of Mercedes. Giving your stupid octotard your Battleship? Stupid, very stupid.
~Buccaneer/Viper~
This is the biggest one I’m upset about. This one makes me collapse just reading it. Hoestly, ST was the biggest show and coolest move in all of the MS jobs. ST skills (Demo and Snatch) Could have been replaced with Energy Blast and Fist Enrage. Barrage could have been kept and enhanced to where it was before BB (1x 1x 1x 1x 2x 4x damage) with a higher % to maintain a good DPS. Guard Crash makes me nerdgasm of course cause it lets us take on hardcore DPSer’s and makes Sacrifice look like complete and udder crap. Though, now with only Fist Enrage and a shitty stance effect that only comes in place every 30 or so seconds in a boss battle for 60 seconds makes bossing very difficult. I think stance is in order for Buccaneers, after all i-frames sub statued that which if course is only on CSB which i’m sure warriors have a same effect skill as well. If they go in like this in this condition. DPS will be sad, falling off ledges will also be over-rated.
Pirate Rating: 2/10 I’d much rather die that receive this revamp. Stab me while you can. Removing ST or Battleship is like stripping a high military marine if their high rank and giving it to someone else to do your old flashy skills infront of you just to rub it in ur face like the douche bags they are.
-Theifs
~Shadower~
Shadowers… I duno, I’ve played a shadower and it wasn’t my favorite. Anyways away from my life story. The update was bullshit. No more BoT (Band of Theifs), assaulter and they get a skill that works like a dual blades old Fatal Blow? I think not! Shoot me while you can about this one. But it seems from all the revamping I’ve talked about in this whole post makes Nexon want to mix all of the jobs together to make it so there are no difference between any of them! Not much else to say about Shadowers, but I really expected more, since Shads have been shafted and made to look like shit since Dual Blades releasal.
~Night Lord~
Night Lords, one of the jobs I fucking hated the most but now I feel mostly sorry for. Before BB was the most favored and 2nd most powerful job though people said they’re more powerful. Away from their history. Quad throw, was not really an improvement. It was oftenly talked alot about in forums such as Basil Market that it should be added but when it was added it turned out to be more shittier than ever. Honestly, it’s like trading in TT for an attack thats flashier but hits less damage (TT Ignored Defence %, Quad does not but hits the same damage %). NL’s have gotten nothing but shaft shaft shaft. Not as much as Buccaneers since Bucc’s have been at rock bottom DPS since releasal, math has proven it. Math has also proven TT to have more DPS on 1 mob unless you have a hoard of 6 or more mobs infront of you. Meaning, Avenger was alot shittier than some people think. Trust me, TT ignore % def, Avenger does not. Even ahd it proven by a Calculus University Professor.
Theif Rating: 3/10 Slightly better than pirates. Can’t say it was very good. When I mean not very good, it was a dis-improvement. Honestly, it’s was all basicly skill re-animation and nothing else except a very few things.
Overview: This revamp sucks. Shoot me, stab me what ever you want. This revamp was a fail and something I did not look forward to seeing. I expected better. But Nexon with their Facist ways, they obviously wanted to shaft us, once again!
so they just bumped the dmg of dits a little, brought back sudden raid to all thiefs…. and made skill lvls lower……… but took away all the skills taht made maple fun? AHAHAHAHAHAHAH WAT A TROLL…….. those sexy kills prob will cost like 99999999 nx to get…….
IIRC, Only NL’s get sudden raid.
Nvm, Didn’t have my glasses on.
battleship is why i made my sair when they were first released…
My corsair is forever ruined. No matter HOW MUCH they buff rapid fire, and other skills which increase attack, it will NEVER equal the damage of hurricane. I liked being able to freeze and burn mobs as well, but thats also gone. So in the end, we have what LOOKS like the bastard child of a wild bowmaster and marksman orgy party with neither uniqueness nor the damage output of the mentioned predecessors.
Say what you like. Corsairs will be dead after this update. All the newer ones are for the idiots who never played one in the first place and cant control their ships worth a damn. I do not see tespia content being changed much before they release it to the official server, at least not to the point where they will actually change the skill. R.I.P my corsair…time to continue my paladin or just quit.
Well you know for a fact Spadow is going to be pissed about this revamp.
Yh, I actually wonder what Spadow’s reaction is/was about this revamp of his class and about the whole Thief/Pirate revamp changes that Nexon brought upon us.
You can ask him on EllinForest or Southperry 😛
People have already asked him. He said he will dish out his opinion when the changes are offical.
Buccs is no longer buccs. I chose Buccs for they had been transform, and other things now they’re fucking spoiled !!!!!!!!!! but much better on 3rd job
your all fhkin annoying and just repeat the same shit over and over again. cry about it pussys 😀
umad?
Shouldn’t sudden raid be under dual bladers?
Can’t believe I missed that! Fixed ^^
When does this update come to GMS?
It’s unknown when it will become official to KMS, thus it’s unknown to GMS.
No Assultar
No Transform = No Fun.
No Battleship
End of story.
Holy sheyt. feels like going to bump into my NL back seeing this patch content
Look at Tri Throw and Quad Throw. Tri throw hits the same damage as Quad Thow and ignores defence. Quad throw hits the same damage as Tri Throw but doesn’t ignore defence, catch the drift? Quad Throw is weaker than Tri Throw.
quad throw hits 4 times
DELETED SKILL: Assaulter
LOL.
Are you fking kidding me Nexon?!! I swear to God they totally ruined Buccs. We’re officially fked up. They removed ALL of our unique skills and unique styles. At least we were BOSSING specialized. BOSSING!! They even took that shet away and added up some ghey move that looks same as barrage and hits 8 times like Demo? I swear to God I can’t believe I’m receiving this shet. I should quit my bucc…. You totally ruined it Nexon. Just for some more flashy crap effects that you’re OBSESSED with.
then quit, dont cry
lol
The only reason they are getting rid of Battleship is because they can’t fix the problems they are having with it. Such as the random DC when hopping onto ropes and the like.
NEW SKILL: Vipersition: Increase your defense by 120, your avoid by 240, your resistance to elements and resistance to statuses by 20% for 180 seconds (master level: 30)
…
I’m heavily disappointed with this buff ]: Replace with Super Transform please D: Or Pirate’s style from corsairs work too.
@ Max, do we get free mastery books for our skills? A lot of our 4th job skills were removed..
Ermm… if u have thriple throw before this patch at lvl 30 and after the patch do we nid to get a qua throw mastery book or the mastery level will still be at lvl 30?
When will this update take place In gms?
Haste… 20% speed… no jump????? I thought thieves should be the fastest class?
Is there Critical Throw? Sins with no critical? OMG…
The mob skills are crap. Sins were known as 1v1 specalists.
Where’s the 10% additional hp?
Good thing summoning rocks are not needed.
Alchemist, Meso up… GONE??? OMG…
And a huge bunch of useless ultimates.
Nexon really screwed up this time. Sins are not mages.
Haste still gives +40% Speed and +20% Jump. It just passively increases the max speed to 160 as a passive effect. So they’re still the fastest, essentially.
Critical Throw is still there. ( You can tell because the skill isn’t under the deleted list. )
They’re even better at 1vs1 now. They just made it so we can mob, earlier, too. o-O
It’s 20% Max HP at Third Job, instead. 🙂
“(3rd Job) NEW SKILL: Radical Darkness: With your affinity with the darkness, permanently increase your HP by 20%, your resistance to statuses by 30%, and your resistance to elemental damage by 30% (master level: 20)”
Everyone was complaning that Thieves need an ultimate; now they get one and they’re sad? WhatisthisIdonteven?
Why buff these guys, already strong enough? Go buff archers/marksmen and warriors, nexon, u dope! >:[
I ought to slap you…
It wasn’t even much of a buff, if at all.
Every class needs a massive nerf anyway.
Go ahead Guys Keep bitching so soon every class will have nothing unique and will be bland and grey This Revamp is a Perfect example….Remember when bishop’s were a SUPPORT class and not a bunch of winey bitches always complaining about there dmg and ultimate cooldown………..i do
But with Battleship u dont see the crew. Durr
So thief lost drain… what about bucc’s energy drain? still there? I WANT SUPER TRANSFORMATION BACK… i WOUND GIVE SNATCH , TRANSFORMATION, SHOCK WAVE FOR IT!! JUST GIMME BACK ST!! DUMB NEXON!
will any of these skills need nx? please reply!! i want to make a db but i dont want to pay nx…or should i just make a shadower instead?!?!? please help!!
Nope
thankss
Shet. Well Nexon, I can’t complain anymore if you are juss going to bland-ify us Sairs.
Honestly, Battleship + cannon + torpedo was the best, BUT
at least they rid of that bullshit hypnotize
LIKE WTF WAS THAT SHIT FOR ANYWAYS?
what do you guys think….shadower or dual blade after this update?
No more Transform and removing Iframe attacks…Vipers lost a lot of their unique playstyle.
(Savage Blow seems redundant when you have Edge Carnival…)
…Rush and Fatal Blow? Stop trying to copy DBs.
Leave the flashy skills to DBs. (I may be crazy, but i prefer the old animations of Shadower skills)
Removing one of our best(and signature) attacks in BoT…not a good thing.
Taking out skills unique to classes and replacing them with clones of another class’s skills…is that what we really want?
I disagree. I think Carnival Edge and Savage Blow will be useful together, since either one or both add assassinate points. If you’ve seen a shadower at all recently, you’ll know we use just about every skill besides double-stab and steal. What to I see DB’s using? That corkscrew attack and chains of hell, plus flying assaulter.
And if you want to play the “Shads are copying DB’s” card, then I’ll counter it with the “We were here first, so technically you copied us,” card.
no u
when is this update gonna happen in GMS?
No one knows 😮
uh excuse me, until ascension Corsairs were number 1 in dpm, after Legends we are still in the top 7 or so, how bout you do some research before you post.
U know buccs can no long punch…. well they cant elbow, or flash fist, or combo in general as well as they could.
All i wanted was for them to make attack speed boosting work in trans =.= idk why but maybe its just me, be while in trans u attack as if ur boosters weren’t on.
Also yes class diversity is gone to shit D: i mean just look at mercedes(merc’s only hav like 3 shooting moves, and like 4 meleeing rising rush moves; but they hav every damage steroid available, damage reduction, improved speed and jump cap, a hurricane that fires 2 arrows instead of 1) she replaces the bowman class almost completely, dualblades r shads…, and they gonna make it so all the pirates can use the cannoneer’s unique ultimate which is the nautilus thing lol
At least they got damage mitigation added into pirates and stuff at least
they shouldve just removed the least used skills and just reworked pre-existing ones to work better with the others….
On Buccs, Can you use normal Dice Roll and Double Dice Roll at the same time?
Double Dice is a passive upgrade
And that means?
There’s a % chance of rolling two dice when using Luck of the Die once you get Double Dice.
So Double Dice is not a buff you can put on a key? You use normal dice roll and hope to roll 2 dices?
That is correct!
What does that mean?
Well that sucks, but its better then nothing
Whats the damage % for Dragon Strike after revamp? Is it 850% twice?
Yes
Answer me?
So what skills become what (If any of you are KMS players – Buccaneer/Viper)
Pre-Revamp:
Energy Orb
Time Leap
Speed Infusion
Snatch
Super Transform
Dragon Strike
Demolition
Maple Warrior
Pirates Revenge
Barrage
-I believe that’s all-
Which of the above skills are replaced with the new ones?
For Example:
(Confirmed) Barrage > Fist Enrage
(Imagination) Energy Orb > Energy Blast (Wave or whatever it will be called in GMS)
Thanks again to who answers this.
Soo many people are whining over Sair’s revamp. that crappy boat died in 3 hits and you know it was trash. sairs also had no party value nor good DPM. now they do happy? For the Buccs not being able to transform anymore, its okay he stands behinfd you now, and u actually get a khame hameh ha! Also for people thinking Sairs are just like BM’s now wait till tthe BM/Warrior/ArchM revamp then you will be jealous. Computers get smarter every 2 years. i have had the same Savage blow since 05′ (not actually 05′) i think i like the new one.
That boat’s durability was removed after Chaos. How about you quit whining about other peoples very logical complaints. The Sair’s revamp indeed was a pile of shit.
Sairs are so effing OP now… the huge ass boat thing is practically getting Genesis
So now haste don’t add jump and only add 20 speed instead of 40?
They’re in addition to the current effects.
so haste will still add 20 jump and 40 speed?
Yep
I belive that Pirates do need buff but i also belive the NEXON has made a big mistake to talk away trasformation and battle ship. These skills made the class unique and fun to play. The new skills do seem decent but i belive some to them should not be added to keep battleship and transformation. Nexon did a good job trying to make the classes stronger but they got rid of the classic defination of pirate.
all i know is pirates are about to rape
p.s. 4th
they removed the best skill ever…oak barrel 😛
i want that shit back lol XD
Currently I am only 155 viper shld I train to lvl 170 to adjust my main skills? In maplesea pirates where considered the least population,i think they want us us to forget abt pirate and move on with the new classes?
shadower strong or viper strong? i hard to decide= =
@Max Please answer this!!
Will there be mastery books? if so, name them. If you can choose only one that sucks. Will you get Sp/Ap reset scrolls? Thanks for feedback and information! 🙂
@Max Please answer, Will you get free mastery books, if so do we choose?
Do we get free ap and sp reset scrolls? Respond ASAP.
-Thanks
Yes you get one free mastery book of your choice.
AP reset no, SP reset yes.
@Max Is it 100%?
Quick question, im a bucc, and i was going through this guide, but you forgot to include the new %damage for Dragon Strike. could you please update and include it?
You should check this post for the skill changes that actually made it into the real server :O
Since night walker gets quadruple throw and thunder breaker gets fist enrage ,
Dawn warrior should get inteprid slash too , don’t you think ?
Pretty sick revamp for Nl’s.
Just have 1 question.
Has there been a release date for the revamp?
YAY No summoning rocks required for shadow partner
Basically made sure that my MM isn’t unique in anyway and is outclassed in every way. I’m sure archers will get a revamp and I’m also sure it’ll be just as lame as last time. Everyone gets a 100% power increase and all archers ever get is a change in play style. The only thing special we’ve gotten in the past 5 years has been double jump.
You forgot to add that vipersition adds weapon attack too…
juicy j goin off on that track with kreayshawn
i tot db Blade Fury Animation Changed?
moooooooo
Really, I just enjoyed Buccs because they were fun and kept me entertained for the longest time. Changing skills whenever Energy Charge built up, with no cost of MP. It was like a reward. Transformation made everything cooler.
I used Drain to boss. I’m not funded, so I would spam drain on bosses to beat/survive.
Shadowers too, warping around with Assaulter (used it as a replacement for FJ back when shads didn’t have FJ, hur), and the BoT’s animations were derpy and amused me.
I dunno, I like playing a game for fun. Not for damage….
Guess I’ll stick to my f/p.
I own a Corsair, and I love the Battleship. But in all honesty, you have to dismount to rebuff, to climb ropes… It’s super squishy! :@ NOW all that is a letdown.
The new stuff? just makes the class incredibly better. Kudos to Nexon!
yay new skills
Well let’s face it. Before this update Sairs were just underpowered, unfunctional, and under-utilized assassins that took 5x as long to level unless you made a UA. As for Buccs, they were overpowered, extremely versitlel, overused, super-saiyan forming hero classes. At least now they’re more pirate-y I suppose.
On a side note: are warriors the only class without a global skill nowadays? >_>
People need to remember that before you are a Corsair, you become a Gunslinger! That is why I made one. To kill with my guns. not a battle ship which limits you to certain skills and had terrible mobility. In general the battleship was lame from the beginning.
Well i must say it sucks to be missing the boat for Sairs but now i feel like a captain who is shipwrecked. Plus i must continue forward due to going 3 jobs without you my beautiful boat i have only known u for 1 job now but we must part. ❤ u boat.
being a bucc i just say fuuck. *flips table*
MY BLOODY RED FUUCKING SHAT SUPER SAIYAN AND HIS DICKLESS APPEARANCE IS GONNA BE GONE WTF T_T
Corsair will kick ass with their sniper octopus.
getting things ready for phantom?
You got it wrong. Sairs are the OP ones, Buccs have ABYSSMAL damage compared to every other job….Bishops literally have higher DPM then they did. What was awesome about Buccs is that all their 4th job skills look awesome. Sairs, had the highest single target DPM in the game until Mechs and Mercs came out. I’m not kidding from the day they were released until a year ago they were number 1. Why? BSC hit for about 1500% damage at lvl 1 and with booster going all you saw was numbers.
does anyone know what to max out for sins?
To you people pro revamp (for buccs at least), do you guys realize we welcome an increase in damage, and new moves but what we don’t agree with is the removal of st and demo (for some people), st was a move that made buccs unique to every class, when you saw someone in st @ lhc or someone you think to yourself there goes a bucc. Now nexon eliminates our uniqueness by adding in some flashy unoriginal moves, like that laser, they could have easily kept our moves and given us better damage, like a warrior revamp. shame on you nexon, shame on you
Max, did the i was reading the viper skills table, and i found alot of its still have been nerfed?
-Viperasation now doesnt include damge increase,
-i think there is a type in energy charge
-this one:c harged per attack has been increased from 200 to 8100,
I think u should just go over it once.
thanks.
nvm what i said above, i found the real skill page table on your other post.
Well finally, good mobbing skills for 2nd and 3rd job (sairs).
Can’t wait for justice patch!! shadower!! ❤
