kMSt ver. 1.2.479 – Archer Reorganization and Other Skill Changes!
A new patch has been released to Tespia, this time with the Archer reorganization (finally!)! It also includes some more changes to Warriors and Mages as well as Battlemages, Aran, Evan, Mercedes, and Xenon. There was also a new theme dungeon released along with the Auction House system. Did you notice the new archer’s hairpin is the old cursor? What a cute throwback!
I am in love with the new archer changes (except for the skill effects, Bowmasters should be red, not green! Also Uncountable Arrow is actually so ugly). Bowmasters rely on quick repositioning and rapid fire attacks while Marksman stop monsters in their tracks and move further away to do more damage!
The Auction House has been added! Currently I don’t think it’s functional, but someone recorded a video of the UI.
A new theme dungeon for levels 50 or more called Riena Strait has been added! You can access it through Rien’s port after talking to Lilin. Rien is investigating a strait nearby where a glacier has been melting suspiciously…
Here are the monsters of the area. As you can see, it’s the Black Wings that are the cause of the melting glacier! You must defeat them to save it!
You get the Sailor Mask (2 to all stats, 55 HP and MP, 10 accuracy and avoid, 3 slots, level 60 face accessory) and the Apprentice Sailor medal (3 to all stats, 150 HP and MP, 15 accuracy and avoid).
Ariant Coliseum has returned!! This time it’s for levels 50 to 80 and can be played 10 times per day. You can enter the queue from anywhere or go to the party quest map and talk to Cesar. You no longer need slots to play as the items used have been turned into ‘action keys’.
Autopilot Riding has been expanded to the El Nath continent, Rien, and Ereb.
Easy Mode Magnus has been added, and can be fought in a party of 1 or more level 90+. You can defeat him 2 times per week and it does not share a limit with Normal or Hard Mode Magnus.
A new NPC in Leafre, Bucklerman has been added to sell general mastery books. As you can see, he only has two items in stock, the Mastery Book 20 and Mastery Book 30 for 14m and 20m. I think you might be able to guess what they do…
When you double click on them, you can choose one of your own skills to increase the master level of! That’s right, no need to buy a specific book or try your luck with Mystery Mastery Books!! I’m not too sure of the specifics (like does it include Maple Warrior?) but this is a great idea and good change to the Mastery Book system~

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
2nd motherfuckas
cheated to 3rd bitches.
lol
cheated to 3rd bitches.
so mercedes got buffed again.. for the third time..
cheated to 6th
cheated to 7th
the battlemage’s batte king’s bar should be an automatic skill after finishing blow, i hate having to press the button after finishing blow because its not a smooth transition and the stupid notification constantly pops up of its nonavailability unless after finishing blow and they should have given finishing blow the ordinary hyper enhancements such as +20% dmg +1 extra attack so it would be 7 instead of 6 and like +20% extra critical
well they could also make battle king’s bar a toggle skill cuz it could get annoying sometimes
Quiver Cartridge looks interesting and fun. personally i would prefer elemental arrows but this is ok to i guess. drain arrow looks a little pointless but meh.
gg
What the hell have they done to Marksman .___.
first
cheated to eight
Wow
Mercedes get buffed continuinly whilst adventures slighly get nerfed? Bowmaster are no longer a 1v1 class.. hurricane got killed and isnt replaced by this 15second mobbing knockoff. Why the ORIGINAL hurricane (1v1) class loses it… loses their puppet that helped with their survivability.. and im sure on the cusp of losing their avoid… unbelivable.. and here is mercedes getting their THIRD buff…
Even bishops got nerfed. See below comments, overall angel ray and genesis etc.. alot less usuable (weaker) then they once were :/… and yet mercedes gets buffed again -__-… i just cant believe it.. Just you wait for the pirate/theif one.. Ishtar Ring with spash damage that mobs 20times or some crap like that.
Mercedes has been bottom of the barrel DPM for a LONG time. They nerfed her about as hard as they are nerfing Xenon currently, if not harder. It’s about time she got some damn buffs.
Thats a lie.. DS got nerfed HARD.. she got nipped. AND she has always been top of DPS.. this buff after buff after buff is just ridiculous.. merc has needed none of it. There is no reason why she should be able to mob as good as she bosses. Or why she should outshine every other archer in every aspect. I dont know what nexon is playing at.
Idk what you are talking about, because in gms unless you have like 400% dex, a good weapon, and a lot of weapon atk your ishitar ring cant even do 50k per shot at 150. While Bowmasters and Marksman be doing 100ks per hit before lvl 150 because of their skills that do like 400% and like 130% damage. And besides hurricane got replaced by a skill that does 336% dmg and their 2 new other skills do over 300% damage. But mercedes ishitar ring is only 180%, so they need A LOT more funding to do max then bowmasters or marksman.
Oh please, if Mercedes ever had it bad, BM’s were always lower.
Actually for a LONG time Bowmasters were #1. If you would like the facts, here is a recent list of DPM%’s http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=62432&title=Summarized%20%/s%20List&nxid=6
W0w
i want see the rest, go go max
Done 🙂
WOW MAX thanks soooooo much! keep up the great work!. I am SOOOOOO happy about the merc changes!!! we can WALK while using ishtars ring! FREAKIN YES! a little dissapointed the pally’s blast has been reverted to a 1v1 skill. Oh well. Thanks Max for your hard work, cannot wait to see the new archers. Oh, i also LOVE the new artwork for her! not as much as i love the new warriors art but its still pretty damn sick
Hi!
So, am I reading this correctly “Dark Impale: damage has been increased from 235% to 269%, number of monsters hit has been increased from 6 to 8, defense ignore has been removed” ?
But the defense ignore was given to another skill with a cooldown? WTF? I don’t get it?< <
Dark Knights would lose a lot of dmg because of this. 😦 <
Thankfully, people will be happy about pallys now, they reversed the defense nerfs.
Look at Sacrifice; “passive effect of 30% defense ignore has been added”. So yeah, there’s no dmg to lose.
Read more carefully before you make dumb accusations:
Sacrifice: defense ignore boost has been decreased from 30% to 10%, new effect of 10% boss damage has been added, duration has been increased from 30 seconds to 40 seconds, passive effect of 30% defense ignore has been added
PASSIVE effect of 30% defense ignore has been added, it’s actually a pretty big buff overall.
Eh, okay chill!
I must have missed the passive effect. =.=
Since there’s no way to edit my comment. Thanks for people correcting me.
A lot of changes for a lot of classes. I must have missed the passive effect being added to ANOTHER skill, that has nothing to do with Dark Impale. Still, you’d need to max both skills to get the same effect it had before. It sucks, in my opinion.
Don’t crucify me please!
Kay, thanks MAX! <
The hell are you talking about? Sacrifice is basically the new Berserk. Meaning you’d max sacrifice first before just about anything. Meaning you get 30% def ignore before you even max Dark Impale. Sucks…? I think not.
Okay, I had to go back and double check the previous changes. If you go back, you will see TOO that the old Sacrifice was taken out from 3rd JOB, and a new one was added to 4th job. That means, you would have to max both skills at 4th job, to get the same effect Dark Impale had before. That’s right both skills require lv30. <
Hell, if you read Max post, you will see Sacrifice is listed under DARK KNIGHT and not berserk.
Still unclear if mastery books were taken out for adventurer or not. I guess we will see when they bring the update to the real server.
You obviously can’t read for shit. Rawr is saying Sacrifice replaces the skill ‘Berserk’ that Dark Knights have right now. And besides, their 3rd job name is “Berserker” not “Berserk” dumbfuck.
Ughh… What I’m saying is, Berserk was REPLACED with Sacrifice, except Sac has more to it, meaning it’s better than berserk.
This new Sacrifice isn’t the one-hit-on-one-monster-thorny-animation attack we have now. This new one is a buff. The attack Sacrifice was removed completely.
Third job Sacrifice didn’t help with crap except low-level bossing anyways. That was it. It eventually gets easily passed over for Dark Impale.
Overall, Dark Knights got a pretty nice buff. I can’t see them to be considered nerfed in any way. If you think they got nerfed, try me. You’ll get hit back, hard.
Not to mention it means the def ignore will be 30% on all the DK skills (Beholder, gungir as well as dark impale) overall it is a very nice change.
I think this bitch wants 60% pdr.
What Mastery Books does that Bucklerman sell? I’m really interested in that one. 😀
generic=every book. wow cool
Does that include maple warrior?
Holy shit that holy arrow % boost O.O!
So my question remains why isnt gungir descent Spammable without using skills to make it spammable yet? DRKs deserve it man come on…
If you math it out, Gungnir is actually 8771% per cast on normal monsters, 9568% per cast on bosses (assuming you’re just using the 30% boss from our own skills) and you can spam it for 40 seconds every 20 seconds after beholder is summoned (since its cooldown is only 60 seconds) If sacrifice works with buff duration, you can actually increase the buff to be 60 seconds as well; meaning you can just spam it endlessly and just let beholder rebuff you as needed (besides, sacrifice has the added advantage of another 10% defense ignore; so thats always nice =P)
loving the bishop changes. Dispel dispels basicaly everything now, which is great! and ice lightning looks good aswell. And its a good thing they added that damage recution for warriors when they are up close to mobs, makes sense. And paladins seem better again.
O, and PRAISE BE for Xenon nerfs!
._.
gc still sucks lol
Hope Wild Hunters get the Soul Arrow change as well.
But then our concentrate would be changed to so it makes no diff
Wish they’d give merc a better healing skill, class is fun but too squishy.
yay bishop changes tho
dayum dat dispel
WHERE THE FUCK IS HURRICANE
Well someone doesn’t read do they. He clearly stated that hes working on adding the rest it takes him time. Dumbass.
That was added after my post
Besides, he should not publish until he’s done. Common courtesy
Maybe you shouldn’t cuss at every single thing that gets you slightly ticked off. Common courtesy.
Maybe Max knew how excited everyone was for the Adventurer revamps and cared so much that he wanted to get whatever information he could to us the moment he could, which is why he periodically updated it rather than waiting to finish the whole post.
How should you know what common courtesy for a blog is anyways? Do you own one? Do you control how a blog is supposed to be? If you said no to either of them, shut up and be happy Max even bothers to show us all this information in the first place.
IT’S A THIRD JOB SKILL NOW. HOLY S**T.
Did they fix Blast’s casting speed? I feel a tad bit better with the Paladin changes but I still dont like he idea of their new play style. Kind of miss Blast and ACB Spam. Maybe added a new unique attacking skill to mix things up. Oh and they need to change the skill animation for Blast. So ugly and only fire?
Nexon did listen to their players!
Blast’s casting speed is decreased from 1380ms to 840ms 🙂
@Max: Good work! And you should add the information above to you post 🙂
So Dark knights got fucked over once again. Its just no hope for this class…
…what are you going on about? The skills were adjusted and BUFFED. Right now, you’re just being blantly ignorant or illiterate.
Dark knights actually DID get fucked over. they lost the 30% ignore def on dark impale.
Not to mention they loss a hit on Dark impale also from the new hypers.
So wtf are you talking about thats dam near a loss of over 40% dmg.
ERRR…..
“Dark Impale: damage has been increased from 235% to 269%, number of monsters hit has been increased from 6 to 8, defense ignore has been removed
Sacrifice: defense ignore boost has been decreased from 30% to 10%, new effect of 10% boss damage has been added, duration has been increased from 30 seconds to 40 seconds, passive effect of 30% defense ignore has been added”
They got buffed. Def ignored became PASSIVE! all skills, and dark impale got DMG increase and 2 more hits! So both of you. STFU
Even with that being said @Dehbest dark knights still dont compare to pally or hero. Low end of the stick again.
uh @DehBest sir the number of monsters hit were increased not the number of lines? Shall I be noob like the other guy and claim someones illiterate? Nah i think ill pass.
For Dark Impale, the number of MONSTERS hit was increased, not lines. And it isn’t very often you’ll even NEED to attack 8 monsters at one time. Especially at later levels where damage is what really matters, not mobbing.
Basically speaking, without DI’s extra line from Hypers, it loses 65% damage.
However with all the boosts from other skills on this update, Dark Impale’s total damage would still increase. So no, Dark Knights did not get “fucked over.” They got much better.
they wont use dark impale for bossing anyway dumbass so it does not matter does it they have gungnirs decent now the mighty spear of oden
Holy God Paladins are saved<3 This all looks way more kick ass. I really can't believe they actually made Enrage toggle-able, though.. That's pretty insane. But damn I just don't care 'cause Paladin is looking badass as helllll.
Bucklerman…… MUST SELL ALL MY BOOKS NAO!!
Oh yeah about this.. Does that mean all skill books aside from those we need to unlock.. or is it that there are only certain skills that he sells the books of?
Er not unlock.. that we need to get as their own drops* is what I should have said.
i think they implement Bucklerman to sell 4th job book.
So that we only need to hunt for 5th Job book in future….
Well yes, but I’m asking what kinds of books, since Max stated “general mastery books,” I’m wondering if that just means everything except the books we still hunt for from bosses (like the skills you need a book for to even be able to level to 10) or if there’s some type of categorization..~ Also wondering if dual blade books would be part of it..
I finally was able to get information about the shop! I think you’ll be happy 🙂
Ah, thank you very much. nwn This does indeed look like a very nice system.. I assume 30’s work for that one skill of Evan’s I forget the name of that maxes at 25? x3
Arans will finally have a different manner of activating their swing attacks?
Hero’s can now On/Off their Enrage with a cool new effect for Raging Blow!
This is so exciting!! 😀
Praise the Max that brings us the good news. ^ ^
yeah….loving the ‘enraging’ raging blow, hope they draw the axe animation soon
wow dark knights seriously suck now >_> i hope they’re like battle mages and turn back to normal again or i wont be making one lol
Every change was good.. are you people really this dumb? Anything that was removed from a skill was only moved to another skill, it evens out.
–Anyway, just refreshed, and holy crap does Bow Master look nice now.
—Expect many more comments from me. xD
wow r u retarded it says rite there that they removed the defense ignore and hyper skills (with the extra hit) from their main attacking move…. their damage really sucks now b/c u cant spam gungir
Hey anonymous, learn to read carefully will ya?
Max :
MEANING Dark Impale stays the same.
Well mr green Anonymous. I think you need to read carefully too/
It says NUMBER of MONSTERS HIT.
NOT TARGETS.
MEANING Dark Impale got over 50% weaker. So stfu trying to sound like a smartass.
Well Well me blue Anonymous. I think you need to read carefully too/
If you look at all the other buffs Dark Knights received in these skill changes, you’d see they also received an extra 10 attack, 10% critical chance, and 10% boss damage.
MEANING Dark Impale doesn’t get weaker. So stfu trying to sound like a smartass.
Old Dark Impale with hyper skills: 200%, 6 hits, 20% more damage: 1440%
New Dark Impale: 269%, 5 hits:
1345%
However, new buffs like cross over chain may make up for that.
Moreover, -they’re still changing things-
What kind of dumbass throws their hands up and yells about how it sucks at the testing stage when things haven’t been sorted out yet?
Hell, I/L’s chain lightning had the same issue, it wound up with less % than before the change, next update? They increased it!
Guess what? If Dark Impale sucks, THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER.
If they -don’t- make it better, then IT DOESN’T SUCK.
If you’re -still- going to whine, go join the pile of stupid where every class’s rabid fanboys whine about how they want the highest DPS and forget that not every class is going to wind up the exact same.
Defense ignore went to sacrifice, but I do agree with the hyper skill thing. >.>
u can basicly spam gungnir and it will do crazy dmg
he just want to be OP but not with a op class, like it’s OP by naturality…peoples theese days -.-
bro 50% dmg in the skills not much, but in your rang does
also you get 10 att and 10%critical in beholder
but i will stop, peoples are like childs theese days or idk, don’t see the overal revamp -.-
%50% is a lot considering we cant naturally spam gungnir as our main 1 vs 1. not to mention the fact they took away the 30% ignore.
Except there are a load of other means that Dark Knights get attack boosts, such as +100% damage, 70% mastery, 30 extra attack. 235% was the original REVAMPED value, not the damage % before. BEFORE the revamp, it was 200% per line. In other words…
Dark Impale actually gets a total 145% damage boost.
(269×5-200×6)
(1345-1200)=145. Boom.
Its not about being OP its about it being balanced in which the case as usual the 3 warriors aren’t once again because, Hero got another unneeded buff and new atk.
And DRK got new animations and a mini nerf aka the end of the stick.
So basically the cycle continues.
“Hero got another unndeeded buff and new atk”
Excuse me? They got that power because they don’t have things like 20% HP healed every 24 seconds, 80% HP boost (includes the hyper), a 20% chance to heal up to 1/2 our HP back every attack, a skill that when hit, can heal up to 10% of our HP back, a skill that sacrifices a thing for 100% HP back, and a REINCARNATION SKILL.
So if you would like to trade say….reincarnation for enrage, i’d be willing. Then it’s fair right? You get more damage to make your damage boner happy, and I get a skill that revives me from the dead.
It’s not necessarily about being balanced now. What they want is for each job to have their own unique play-style and such. Heroes are SUPPOSED to have the highest damage of the three warriors.
Heroes are Damage Dealers, the Insane Killers with crazy attack buffs.
Paladins are Unbreakable Shields, the Holy Knight with elemental capabilities
Dark Knights are Death Defyers, The Knights that harness the power of darkness to overcome death.
Yeah I never understood the purpose of having 3 separate adventurer warrior classes. It might make sense if Paladins can out DPS Heroes depending on whoch boss you’re fighting, if and they both die often. Unfortunately, as of now Heroes always out-DPS Palis and so there’s no point to Pali’s 😦
For that matter, I never understood the point of having so many ranged jobs (bowmasters, marksmen, night lords, captains, mercedes, wild hunters, mechanics…)
They’re basically the same, just with different storylines and stuff to ride on.
Lol I agree on that ranged class part. Maybe they just want to appeal to people’s personal preferences to attract more potential customers. All long ranged classes are basically the same, with slight tweaks and specialties to each, but the basics are the same.
Plus long-ranged classes don’t even need to be long ranged anymore to attack. The only ones that really need o be careful are adventurer archers and Mercs because of their squishiness.
Gungnir is over 8700% per cast and it can be spammed for 40 seconds, every 20 seconds (assuming you time your sacrifices properly), before the update dark impale was only 2500% per cast. in short Gungnir rips DI into pieces damage wise (hell; if you have 50% buff duration, gungnir can literally be spammed ONE HUNDRED percent of the time)
One problem Cool downs!
While we are waiting for those our dpm again has to take a hit since we have to resort to either looking like an idiot and getting killed to use reincarnation or shitty impale.
I’d rather use the horrible (okay its not HORRIBLE since it still has 30% defense ignore from sacrifices passive but it got a slight nerf from the loss of 1 line; not too big of a deal though) dark impale than do nothing; Although if you have it 50% buff duration (or any buff duration above 25% really) solves that problem REALLY fast =P since it reduces the cooldown to a mere 10 seconds or less; While we arn’t the equal of a hero (and we never should be because we arn’t built for max DPM) we’re more than likely the 2nd strongest of the explorer warriors again, with paladin behind us by a bit.
So, Like, BOWMASTER, why are your skills blue(ice?) , all fourth job need to be changed to red. To keep consistency.
I honestly liked the idea of
Bow master – fire
Marksman-ice
marksman dont even have a ice element skill anymore (bird not counted)…..
That armor piercing ^_^
I’m LOVING the changes for Battle Mages this time around!
BaMs really needed that buff!! ^0^
Just for clarification: Battleking Bar is not removed, right?
That’s good. At least mine wouldn’t be as bad as it was before.
Good updates for this archer update. Going to be great!
not happy they lost their final attack
Battleking Bar is still there, yes.
But what’s the point of adding a 100% stance to Battle Master since Bam already have Stance? -.-
I bet that Nexon give a lot of work in the Battle Master so they don’t want it to be threw away. They can replace that effect by %damage bonus or whatever useful
Yeah.. don’t forget that, at least for GMS I know, it can already go Over 100% anyway~ I’m sure this will be something they notice and throw out for a more welcomed, and useful effect.
Both of you were wrong. You really aren’t any better yourself look better by saying that, because you were technically wrong. >_>
I like the improvements, but personally I’m unimpressed with archers (been playing bowmaster for 2 years).
Archers are boring as fuck anyways. Nobody makes them anymore so its of no real significance if they’re still bad.
And what do you know DRK got shit.
What kind of 1 vs 1 move has a CD…. give us some type of enrage or something this is BS.
The boss damage DrK’s along with the reduced cooldown with the hyper buffs…that should be more DPM than the previous patch. Considering all the ignore defense %’s, that’s 90% ignore defense and 30% boss damage (both when sacrifice is active). While it is not spammable, I think it’s still beneficial to DrK’s DPM. I’m definitely okay with it.
And to clear up any misunderstandings, that’s for Gungnir Descent alone.
That plus you will probably be using Sacrifice while bossing which removes the cd temporarily.
they changed the way PDR is added in unlimited. It’s no longer additive.
I dont see why they dont juse delete Spearman/Berserker/Dark knights to begin with since they obviously dont know what they are doing with them.
Just turn them into the Sengoku class Yukimura maybe they will be less shitty.
lol ^ made my day thanks 🙂
Puh-lease. If you haven’t noticed, Dark Knights got buffed. If you think otherwise, you’re highly mistaken.
MAN i hope they do the 30 attack passive or that we can receive the attack from arrows, because i use arrows since all my skills use just 1 arrow, so if they do the 30 attack in the infinity arrow buff, i will lose the bonus attack that helps a litte T-T
nvm
Lolwut? Yet Emerald Flower’s playstyle matches Wind Archers perfectly?
earth? ever heard elves and archers are one with nature?….. hello? mercedes?…jesus read a book once in a while.
My apology. It was meant to be sarcasm.
WA & BM basically have similar playstyle, ranged attacker with hurricane skill, FA etc. Emerald Flower & Puppet serve the same purpose which is to divert mob aggro,
I don’t see the reason Nexon deny BM access to puppet. I do use puppet a lot especially in Dojo/MP/Party Play Zone to draw mob aggro. Not every player are funded enough to KO mob/boss in a few seconds though.
They mean Bowmaster’s NEW playstyle, the playstyle they have envisioned for Bowmasters. You DO realize that “complete overhaul” means that there’s no WAY the class will have the exact same playstyle or exact same feel that it had before. It wouldn’t be very complete, would it?
Well, I can’t say I’m impressed with the direction Nexon is taking, it’s like Justice patch for Thieves & Pirates all over again.
If I want to play a mobile close combat archer I would have chosen Mercedes which is superior than BM. Besides, the new found mobility of BM isn’t that much better than WA either.
From what I observed from Warrior/Mage revamp, Nexon has been enhancing roles of each class in party play. Why not making Bowman more than “SE” mule which sadly isn’t exclusive anymore.
I felt that instead of removing puppet, Nexon should enhance the aggro mechanics for it to be more useful in boss run/party play e.g. Stun which affect boss. As for Quiver Cartridges, we can have arrowhead that inflict different status ailments which work on boss, i.e. Blind, Slow, Seal. They could make the status ailment less effective against boss with a cool down e.g. first hit with 90%~100% successful rate, boss gain temporary resist to status ailment thus consecutive hit with much lower successful rate, it will reset after boss status resist cool down. It will make it useful but not overpower. My 2 cents worth.
“Meteor’s extra attack applies to all skills while Meteor is on cooldown”
Does this mean that every other attack gets an extra line of damage while Meteor is on cooldown? I’m confused.
A chance of an extra line of damage, yes. (it makes more sense if you check my last post and see the changes to Meteor)
Also like to add:
Holy xenon nerf, oh mai God. LOL <
I feel sorry for all the people who own a xenon, last nerf wasn't enough, their dmg got reduced even more. I'm deleting mine. LOL < It's only lv85. Glad I didn't level further.
Battle Mage still looks like shit. <
Do Link skills mean ANYTHING to you? You really shouldn’t delete characters with link skills, ESPECIALLY not ones with links that give things like boss damage (Demon Slayer), total damage (Kanna, Demon Avenger), pdr (Luminous), critical rate (Phantom), %allstats (XENON), or Status/Elemental resistance (Dawn Warriors, Blaze Wizards, Wind Archers, Night Walkers, and Thunder Breakers) They might not seem like much, but they provide a free (and easy) method of gaining stats that you’d normally need to cube for. Together, they can improve your damage output by as much as 30%-50% on bosses, and efficiency by as much as 40%-70% (status resist doesn’t EXPLICITLY increase damage) Not sure the exact numbers, but on a boss mob with base 70% pdr, and neutral resistance you’ve got 10.5% increase in dmg from pdr boost, multiplied by a 12.5% boost from the elemental resistance, multiplied by a 20% increase in total damage, multiplied by 15% boss damage, multiplied by 10% more all stats
Reincarnation ignores DR!! Dark Knights no longer have to worry about DR ever again!
I understand that Parashock guard reduces damage by 20%, but what happens if you’re going solo? Does it still apply, but it only applies to you?
I believe it will still do all the reductions while giving you the attack.
Wut? So what is pally’s overall damage reduction? And did the attack of the charged blows decrease?
Good, good chain lightning back to its orginal speed and 6 hits. Good good!
Ok, am I the only fucking one paying attention to the 3rd job skill “Crossover Chain” for DrKs?
If I read that correctly, at 100% HP, your damage is fucking doubled.
I’m sick of hearing about how much your class “sucks” when you get buff after buff after buff.
I think the majority of you just miss the “good ol’ days” of third job where you were the only warrior with a reliable attack.
I’m pretty sure it’s 100% of your HP. So double your HP and there’s your additional damage added. Example, say you have 40k HP. So if you were fully healed, you deal 80k more damage.
Nah it’s 100% of your HP ratio, meaning it takes your percentage in relation to your maximum amount of HP and turns that into your percentage of damage. So it really is a doubling effect, on top of even more percentage damage later on.. (not saying this for you, but the other ones who complain 100% of the time) I think most Dark Knights just can’t process things correctly.. They might have been those who only played the class because of how it was the top character back in the day, and so they don’t bother with the details and only look at what -seems- good or bad..
–I certainly must say, this has me considering a Dark Knight.
Among many other things. x3
Oooh gotcha, that’s actually better than I thought! Thought it was a bit odd to be adding something so little. Thanks for the clarification. 😀
Sure thing. x3
It acts as 100% Total Damage, if your hp is full.
That means it suffers from diminishing returns the more boss damage and TD you have.
Dark Knights’ damage does suck right now, there’s no denying it.
Buff after buff though?
This is the first patch in a while that has boosted our damage and survivability by a significant amount.
Hypers gave us a boost, but other classes got an even bigger boost, leaving us further behind.
it’s not 100%. I think the cap is around 30 or 40. Southperry.net is your friend.
Max can you explain the Aran change of Double Swing and Triple Swing?
Yeah, Bowmaster 4th Job Skills need to be changed to yellow, orange, red type colors.
Man, they should do more %ignore to SE i think..but 5% is ok
Nexon is mad with Battle Mage -.-
Staff Booster: weapon speed boost has been decreased from 2 stages to 1 ( Basically we are in same way as ugly and slow battle mage revamp)
Battle Master: Become a master of battle, fighting without fear, increasing your stance by 100%, your maximum critical damage by 20%, and your damage cap by 5,000,000 for 180 seconds. [required level: 150] (Why , why?! that’s worse hyper skill compared with union aura… stance 100%? haha nice jk -.- max dmg cap up to 5m?! what’s point with it if battle king bar unlock in lv170 so…. are every lv150 able to do 5m? Noooo we aren’t. If they are going to keep it then reverse it > BattleKing bar lv150 and New hyper to lv170
& Im fine with critical dmg 20% >.>
Note: And Yeah ! I m Battle Mage
The sad thing is, the revamp they would have had, would have given them a lot more dmg, and new and improved skills…..
Not sure what’s Nexon doing, the changes for Bams are truly horrible. They already have 90% stance they get in 3rd job, the hyper skill in itself makes no sense to me either. Why do I need 10% more stance? And lv150 is required for this crap? LOL <
I do have a Bam too,it's not 4th job yet. I was hoping for revamp to happen but alas….it didn't. 😦
I’ve had a battlemage as a main since it was released.
That last update with the rock fists, while good for daamge, was visually unappealing and made little sense. It’s not a good idea to completely change a class’s playstyle and feel in a single update.
I absolutely love what they did in this patch, and I hope they keep it.
This is the balance between the new skills and our traditional “style” that I (and most others) wanted. We get a moderate buff, plus 2 new skills, toggleable battlerage (will help ENORMOUSLY at ark/VL), and the new battle master hyper is pretty much Sharp Eyes + 100% stance with no cooldown.
The ONLY downside to this update is the fact you’ll have to cast all your auras individually again, but that’s fine by me if I get all that other stuff.
Your overlooking union aura is no longer needed as they buffed superbody to be maintainable on its own. the loss of booster stage kinda hurts early but with the superbody boost its easy to hit atk speed cap,
so we end up after this patch losing 1 atk speed, and finisher, which didn’t even work with BKB anyways I believe.
But we gain 15% min crit, 20% max crit dmg, 50 base magic attack, 70% mastery,
20% more base dmg on finish blow, 20% def ignore, 20% boss dmg
no CD on battlerage,
and shelter is mildly less crappy…
And dont need books to max aura’s.
Overally its a very nice buff to battle mage,
I think staff booster doesn’t decrease bams attack speed if it does it wouldn’t be called a booster
I agree, I feel like there’s something wrong with this. It’s probably a mistype or something. Unless they mean “Attack speed increases by 1, instead of by 2.” which makes more sense, but Resistance are one of the weakest classes, atleast give us more speeed.
Thanks Max!
Now that I’ve seen all the skills, BMs don’t look as bad as I thought. It really is just the animation of the skills. Or just Uncountable Arrow…
This also gives me hope for my retired MM.
So.. Arrow blatter is the new hurricane? it feels slower than hurricane.
No, Hurricane is moved to 3rd job.
Arrow blatter is just a new skill
Hurricane goes to 3rd job, Arrow Platter is much like Luminous’s 3rd job Light Skill, Spectral Light. Key-Down skill that you can change the direction of w/ arrow keys.
Are DBs ever going to be able to equip two kataras? None of their weapons matches like Mercedes..
what??????? O_O
1 dagger and 2 kataras? WUT DBS have 3 hands? O_O
2 hands plus a mouth XD
what the hell is this… they nerf bam ……..
they lost final attack…. omg that is my fav skill..i quit now…
1.why keep move the aura from 4th jon to 3rd job, now move to 4th job again. . just combine advanced aura together. .
2. stop repeat increasing the damage of blow,should increase the attack hit
3. battle rage should remove single target and keep the cool down. .
4. please male changes of bam third job skill, reaper and dark shock. .
5. renew dark genesis effect
6. battle mage nneed more critical rate and maximum damage. .
Wow I ❤ the new bowman changes. I like what they did to Crossbow Master making their skills based on their range between the enemy 😛
Arrow Platter reminds me of Luminous 3rd Job skill, I think they should change all the Bowmaster skill to Green instead of Blue
I’m agree with you except the color of the skills. It supposed to be red because we use the fire, we burn everything with moltres.. no green, green is the color for wind archers
True, maybe they should change Bowmaster Hyper Skill, Wind of Frey as well, and make Bowmaster to a full Red themed job XD
That would be cool! 😀
Yes! They reverted the change on Shield Mastery!
i was really hoping they do that bam revamp was reallying hoping for it but i got to say im still exicted at the buff we got since i would miss the bam black and purple attack skills
Marksman changes is not as good as Bowmaster changes
because bowmasters were horrible and marksmen already had decent dps
Just going to ignore this^
I never insult people, it’s rude. And it’d never max Sacrifice first before Weapon Mastery/or Dark Impale. Obviously Rawr doesn’t own or he hasn’t played Dark Knight EVER. And obviously he or you for that matter have no idea what you are talking about.
They are removing all Hyper skills related to Dark Impale while removing the defense ignored, giving it to unrelated skill as a passive….. #Nexon logic
Peace.
Just so you know, I do have a Dark Knight.
The only things you’re taking into consideration are changes that happened to FOURTH JOB, and completely disregard any other possible buffs that carry on INTO fourth job, such as Cross Over Chain’s rather large damage boost.
Plus, even if Dark Impale may slightly lose its edge, and ONLY slightly, all the other skills make up for it. Plus Gungnir Descent will do quite a bit as well, with its own 30% ignore. We won’t be spamming Dark Impale for our whole 4th job career.
Besides, you should be a high enough level to be able to max all the necessary skills to get the total buff Dark Knights are getting by the time we actually RECEIVE this revamp. If you’re not, then don’t call me out. Just sayin’.
Quit buggin’.
so marksmen have no bossing skills until 195?
Where did critical shot for 1st job bowman go? Is it deleted too along with double shot? And what happened to AFA for BM’s? Was it deleted in RED or in a previous patch that hasn’t reached GMS?
Any skills I did not mention are still there
Ignore the comment of mine that I’m replying to. I realized that you probably left all pre-RED existing skills out of these update notes.
Agree, uncountable arrow’s effect is look funny and rough, hope they renew the skill change .
Also max, my friend say lumi got some change but I didn see the update, is that real?
Ps, they finally add some debuff for lightning edge and yeah ishar ring can used while walking!
Yes I missed them because I thought they were just error fixes but Luminous did receive some changes!
Oh i see, thankz! But i didn get what is the change of Anti Magic Shell :O
Max are the’re full pictures of the new adventurers characters? I like collecting these
I don’t think so 😦
What do they really mean by “the way basic attacks, Double Swing, and Triple Swing link together has been changed”?
There’s a significant change in the time between your initial attack and swing. The delay has been reduced.
maybe it become a keydown skill, no more spaming keyboard?
AH YEAH!! IMO, it looks like Nexon actually listened to players input i’ll give them props for that. ex. giving Pallys defence back also Magic shield not being dispelled is cool
O dam… They really made Snipers one of the best jobs in the game with very little funding. With all those boosts, Skill effects and Attack skills you can pretty much kill anything even with the crappiest equips.
Now it is making me excited for NL’s. I hope they make something so unique for them which cant be compared to other jobs… Such as SP and FJ before all the new jobs took them…
max did u see the new ui apparently cmst got it first like root abyss idk how they’re doing it XD
It’s uglyyyyyyyy
I like how marksman is closer related to an actual marksman now.
Hope they keep Battlemages as they are. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them right now!
I thought Extreme Archery: Crossbow was a reduction of Weapon and Magic Avoid by 50% which increased Maximum Critical Damage by 25% rather than Max Crit Chance by 20%
Yeah it is, I typoed haha. I dont even know what max crit chance is xP
Does Frozen Orb, y’know, freeze? Or will I have to use Chilling Step and Glacier Chain to freeze?
It does, and it applies the 5 stacks really quickly.
Just give me Night Lord revamp 😀
Looking for a Corsair/Mech revamp
Interesting changes =o
I noticed for Battle Mages, they replaced Union Aura with Battle Mastery which gives them 100% stance. I also noticed that it wasn’t mentioned if Power Stance in 3rd job was removed, I think it would be silly to keep Power Stance and then get a complete replacement for it at level 150.
Oh, and you wrote that Advanced Blue Aura was removed from 2nd job, I believe it was actually in 3rd job.
the nl revamp has better be good or i’mma flip shit…
Staff Booster: weapon speed boost has been decreased from 2 stages to 1
is this typo? it better be
Its near pointless, we are still at +4 atk speed even with the nerf. most weapons will be hitting the speed cap either way
It says Bucklerman sells general mastery books… What exactly does that cover, and how much does he charge? I was hoping you wouldn’t gloss over that… The one thing that pushed me over the edge to quitting was how much work it was to get those stupid books just so you could watch them fail… I failed 5 70% books in a row and never even bothered logging in again.
Added information about it 🙂
WTF? Blast decreased from 5 HITS to only 1??!! FML nexon
Read it again.
“Number of MONSTERS HIT decreased from 5 to 1”
In other words, back to a 1vs1 attack.
Idk why people like the bowmaster changes. Hurricane went from 260% to 158%? It doesn’t say split, so we have the worse ‘hurricane’ out of the archers even though we were the originals. The uncountable arrow looks ugly. The arrow platter makes us immobile. Puppet removed, even though WA have it. To me, wind archer skills should have been what bowmasters should’ve got. I really hope they change these, because I am not liking the ‘revamp.’ Bowmasters no longer look like bowmasters.
It feels very much like the last cosair change – the changes look fairly good and could play farily well, but it’s such a drastic change that it’s simply not the same class anymore; anyone who enjoys the style of the current class will simply be left out in the cold. What we’re getting looks closer to a weapon-attack lumi than a bowmaster.
Wow Excited for Marksman but is its solo/bossing skill the Bolt Rupture?
somebody else better be just as pissed as I am about the fucking hurricane 3rd job thing. Hurricane was the bowmasters things…. for the most part im content albeit a few minor complaints. But WOW. i consider that a huge fuck up.
I feel you… this better get rectified. Hurricane should get moved back to 4th job and just buffed.. Why nexon even thought this was appropriate was beyond me, its as if they are trying to get people to stop playing adventurers.
I see paladins got some defense back:) Though i’ll hold my horses on account of power guard still gone if i’m correct (50% 1/1 defense out the window), and those stacking charge effects…is there any cap on number of stacks (like it was 8 last time?)
Props for finally giving pallies solid status defense.
As for Marksmen i got few gripes with the changes:
– no 1v1 skill whatsoever save snipe, and that becomes spammable only at lvl 198 if i recall with hyper skill
– pierce might be stronger (mostly due to no charging), but where’s the POWER? Ofc i can do math, but i mean the SINGLE uber powerful hit, that made SICK numbers pop up?
– arrow illusion – i see marksman got their own magnetic anchor, but that animetion is just so not fitting with marksman theme
– painkiller’s active effect – 1 sec immunity to status effects puzzles me to no end…why only 1 sec, especially given it has 300 secs cd? Very limited use here..
– i don’t see iron irrow effect being reneved at all, that’s the old animation unless i missed a few pixel’s difference
– will miss the golden eagle sniff, he was a marksman classic
Other the that sweet rewamp for marksman if you ask me:)
Actually, at 2% per charge of damage reduction and 5 possible charges, you have 10%, with Parashock Guard, you get a 20% damage reduction, and with Achilles, you get a now boosted 30% damage reduction. So, that is 60% vs. the old 70%, but if you’re hit closely enough thanks to Iron Body, it’s back at that full 70% O: Plus quite a power increase, so I’m -very- satisfied. :3
I/L still lack benefits from this revamp. CL gets back 6 hits but glacier just got 1 more hit and its COOLDOWN REDUCTION has been changed to another skill with % crit?…
Why doesnt Nexon understand that I/L already has high % crit and giving them a specialize skill that gives % crit is useless? also, if the old cooldown is reinstated in glacier chain, it will cause the same bugs as it did before hyper skills. (cooldown states 5secs but actually took 6~20secs to CD)
Also, whats the point of adding longer duration to freezing breath? make us stand there and do nothing longer? the cooldown is doubled too…
Lastly, they state in F/P that extreme magic can be actiavted by the new freeze effect… uhh.. hello? i/l with its almost all skills freezeing cant get storm magic activated? we need clarifications..
Overall RED really destroyed the class… while F/P gets more buffed insanely….
I/L got plenty of benefits from this revamp, lot of damage buffs, more new skills, etc.
Unfortunately Glacier Chain isn’t going to be the uber powerful skill that it used to be
It went from 2380% with cooldown down to 1149% with no cooldown.
Chain lightning went from 1680% to 2293%
Now we also get the bonus damage from that thunder storm, the final attack from Blizzard, the new frozen orb skill, the bonus crit from the passive (How is that useless?)
If you don’t want to use that frozen breath, then don’t use it, but it sounds great for fighting a boss in a party.
How the hell does I/L getting buffs “destroy the class”? Are you insane? That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard.
Freezing enemies did nothing before, now it does.
It should be obvious that storm magic should work for i/l too, they’re not so stupid as to forget that.
We get to do the same things as before and more, with more damage, more party potential, more actually -being- an ice-lightning spellcaster instead of everything being immune to your main status effect.
Not destroyed, stronger than ever, and looking like a great prelude to 5th job, in case you’re forgetting that things are still going to change.
thunderstorm is practically useless. I/L with the Hyperskill teleport mastery & the new improved teleport, the extremely slow cloud often dissappears as it cannot keep up with the caster.
Also, why give i/l % crit? wont % crit damage be better? even my i/l has 100% crit without DSE now and adding more wont do any good while f/p do get % dmg per DoT and their damage can increase continuously per counter..
Before you say that freezing does nothing now, let me clarify, freezing in the present [in GMS,MapleSEA currently] STOPS the monster from moving+attacking, AFTER RED, Mobs just get slowed and can deal magic attacks to the player. This is horrible for lower lvl training as it drains too much MP at lower levels due to dmg intake from magic guard. MP eater was nerfed to being barely useful and freezing does help.
You say freezing breath is good? well i was only asking like a “flame haze kind of attack or even at least 1 attack per 5 secs or somthing” to be added cause standing there for 25secs can get dull. But if you want to stand there for 25secs pressing a button by all means.
The problem with storm magic is that it works for stun and/or frozen mobs well, stun is not a problem but the new freeze is now “slight freeze” like how it is stated in frozen breath, i just want clarifications if its still the same and why place it under F/P that makes it even more curious…
F/P get skills that compliment one another like [poison mist+flame haze+ mist eruption] while i/l are forced to just spam chain lightning?
Its called a revamp… but they just took away the [Chain lightning+glacier chain] combo… the game play has not improved.
I doubt thunderstorm is as useless as you suggest it is.
I don’t see how you’ve gotten 100% crit on your i/l, when they only get one skill that gives +30% crit, that’s shared with f/p
the only other crit we get is the bonus crit chance that chain lightning currently gets.
If you include other crit from equipment or link skills, f/p can get the same thing, you may as well say that there’s no point in crit skills at all because you can get it other ways.
The reason why I say freezing does nothing currently is because it does not apply to many enemies. Bosses, party zone enemies, etc. Those are immune. You do not get to STOP them.
Any enemy weak enough that you can stop them, you can kill them in one or two hits anyways.
It’s the same thing with the BS passive that storm magic gets, a chance to instant kill things that are under a status effect, but only things that are easily killed without that are affected by it.
Now you can actually freeze things that -matter-.
Since when was MP during lower levels an issue? Heck, you get enough potions from quests to cover it all, and you don’t want to be smacking your face into every monster you come across anyways.
Freezing never helped at all from what I saw while playing my I/L to 170.
It does feel weird that it doesn’t do any damage at all, and I hope they fix that, but seriously, it’s no big deal. It’s a neat attack, it’s not the end of the damn world, and you don’t have to spend 25 seconds with the key down, but using it to dodge some nasty attacks is a cool concept too. It’s a defensive option that wasn’t there before, we have plenty of awesome attacks already.
However, I do agree things could use a bit of clarification, and while frozen breath looks cool, it’s also a little weird and people who obsess over getting out as much damage on their own as possible will probably hate it.
It’s likely that it was just obvious that I/L mages will get the damage boost on their own frozen monsters, but again, it’s hardly as problem, as it’s doubtful they’ll leave it as a problem. Again, before, you could not freeze/stun certain monsters and bosses, now you can, so now you -can- get the 20% damage buff from storm magic. That’s -awesome-.
How is Chain Lightning + Glacier chain a combo? They don’t compliment each other or make each other more powerful, you just use glacier chain when it’s not on cooldown for a bit more damage.
You may as well say that Chain Lightning + Frozen Orb is a combo now, it’s the same thing.
If you haven’t seen Frozen Orb in the RED i/L archmage videos on youtube, it seems to do quite a few number of hits and freezes as well, it looks to be on par with the old glacier chain.
It looks like the game play has improved to me.
Are you happy with the bowmaster changes or did you expect more, Max?
It’s sort of meh actually, I really like the ideas behind it but Arrow Platter/Uncountable Arrow are both ugly, and Platter is terrible because it roots you and it doesn’t activate FA! I hope they move Hurricane back to 4th and delete Arrow Platter or something…
Also change all the skill effects to red/orange/yellow!!
What is nexon thinking with I/Ls?! Increasing the damage of F/Ps’ Paralyze?! And what’s up with that stupid OP Flame Haze while our counterpart Freezing Breath literally does ZERO damage (apparently) whilst making us stand there doing nothing for 25s. At least give it damage around that of Flame Haze… What are we now? A support class?
Great, nexon, just great.
I/L are ridiculously strong, and got even stronger with this. Freezing Breath isn’t your only attacking move, you’ve still got thunder storm and elquines going while freezing breath is on, and you don’t -have- to use it, our damage is great even without something like flame haze.
Hey, guess what, it’s not a f-ing race for DPM dumbass, it’s an MMO. You’re meant to play with OTHERS. F/P have more damage, we still have great damage, but more party-oriented stuff, with the frozen aura and the defense reductions from frozen breath.
While frozen breath is on cooldown, use infinity for massive damage. while infinity is on cooldown, use frozen breath.
Don’t be a dumbass and ignore the buffs they get either. Chain Lightning does damage on par with Paralyze.
So what if we’re a little behind another class, the goal isn’t to make every class as powerful as each other, it’s to make every class powerful and -useful-. That’s what’s happening.
To the one who just replied above, cool it. he was just voicing his opinions which is the same frustrations as most I/L around the world currently face.
The sentance [I/L are ridiculously strong] can easily be laughed at.
also, nobody even mentioned DPM. you brought it up yourself.
Evans are way more powerful and I/L was on the verge of extinction after F/P. All we wanted was a slight change that place us near evan if not. on par or above. We all know F/P is naturally and will remain Stronger than I/L but if they want to buff F/P that much, they should at least buff I/L equally so we dont fall too far behind them.
We are not talking about YOU and YOUR character and dont put yourself as “our damage”, we are talking about the class itself. So no matter how strong you are, it doesnt do nuts for other people does it?.
To the point on Thunderstorm & Elquines, really? its better to let them damage for you instead of actually damaging yourself?
Tell me, what summon is soo powerful that its attack is better than the caster itself? 25secs just standing there is no joke. it really is long and even a slight atk for the skill would be welcomed rather than just standing there.
What’s your beef with me specifically?
Am I not allowed to give my opinion either? Am I not allowed to be happy with I/L? To enjoy the changes, to think they look awesome?
Yes, I brought up DPM, because people obsess over damage too much. Woop-de-doo?
It looks like they got a lot stronger here, got some fun new skills?
Alright, so it doesn’t matter how strong my completely unfunded I/L archmage is, though I never even brought them up, so why are you making a point about my character when I never even brought them up?
It’s not meant to be a skill for the caster alone to stand there for 25 seconds doing nothing. It’s obviously meant to be used either to guard against attacks, or used in a party, but that doesn’t stop thunderstorm and elquines dealing damage, as little as it may be.
Some damage dealt by this skill would be welcomed, I won’t deny that, but still, it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t.
It’s just ridiculous how people are getting upset over nothing, and saying that the class is dead, that it’s a support only class, and acting like Nexon just gave ’em the middle finger.
They just got a lot of buffs, people should be HAPPY and looking forward to things, or at least thoughtfully discussing them and what hopefully will be improved instead of screaming and whining and freaking out.
Heck, I’m upset too that they still haven’t changed that ridiculous passive on storm magic yet.
Before this new revamp it was proven that we were nerfed. I don’t know about now, but we still lost Glacier Chain – our current major damage dealing skill. People are acting like we got the middle finger because we kinda did. F/P Mages got buffed loads more than we did and they were already stronger than us. It doesn’t matter if we’re getting buffed (which we don’t even know by how much at this point, and videos aren’t really accurate because criticals are glitched in KMST) if we’re still lackluster compared to a class in our own branch.
And why are you even complaining about people getting mad about the revamp? You think they scrapped the original BaM changes and buffed CL back up because people sat back quietly? It really looks like you’re just trying to force your own opinion on other people. We don’t have to be happy just because you are. And we don’t need to stop talking about how awful we think the changes are just because you think they’re good.
Don’t like people freaking out? Ignore them. It’s fine to have your own opinion and all, but you’re not being very constructive here either. We don’t know if we got “a lot” of buffs, because we just got buffed from being previously nerfed. And as I said before, we don’t have to be happy and positive about this just because you are.
It does sort of suck losing glacier chain, maybe frozen orb will replace it? I don’t know if I/L got the middle finger, and it doesn’t really look like F/P got buffed any more than I/L did.
I have a feeling they won’t be scouring other nation’s blogs for responses though, so we are pretty much just sitting here.
I don’t really understand, for one thing, why people are so unhappy with i/l. I suppose I shouldn’t be so rude, and I apologize to all those I insulted, but… that’s all I ever see, in game things look fine, but when people comment, isn’t it weird to see people going “Well, I/L are dead now.” and spitting out a sarcastic “great job, Nexon.”?
I can only speak from my own experience, true… but it really feels like people are just waiting to scream and get pissed off at everything.
Personally, I thought chain lightning was I/L’s main attack skill… when you’re using it 95% of the time, isn’t it your main attack? It was only fairly recently that hyper skills were added that gave it the cooldown reduction that allowed it to be considered our major damage dealing skill…
Now, Chain Lightning looks to be similar to the CDR-less glacier chain in damage % alone, save for the defense ignore…
Again, I’m sorry. I overreacted and simply assumed that people were scrreaming and blowing their heads up because they weren’t thinking, and wanted some sort of extreme super-crazy buff that makes I/L better than everyone else. I suppose I don’t hold many maplers in high esteem because I’ve got it in my head that most of them don’t think, and that’s my fault alone.
I’ll try not to shove my opinion on others…
but it’s still difficult, I seriously see a lot of positive things here, and it feels so drastic when people are, well, freaking out about things that I see as really good buffs?
Honestly, I’m not entirely happy with -all- the I/L changes myself, not yet, as It would be nice if they made some things… well, better, but the biggest thing I want to see is a redone passive for “Storm Magic”, the current one that results in a chance for an instant kill just… doesn’t really work, while F/P get a buff to -every- DoT they cast. That’s certainly not fair, no.
To the person replaying above, there is no need to insult him so coo it. He was just voicing his opinions and his frustration is faced by many I/Ls across the globe.
F/P are naturally stronger than I/L and this may remain the same. but all most of us want is equal buffs of all classes. They buffed F/P alot but I/L wasnt given equal treatment. Evans which outclass Arch mages continuously get buffed and arch mages are left to rot..thats was the reason for the decline of arch mages.. so its normal for us to ask for equal buffs.
Nobody stated DPM, you brought that up yourself so theres no reason for insulting. The term “our damage” doesnt help anyone cause the damage YOU do is only for YOURSELF. Its doesnt help other I/Ls does it?
CL and GC were initially nerfed (GC still nerfed) but due to voiced out opinions, they revert the changes made to CL and made it stronger.
You call this a revamp? its just putting back what we had and slightly improving it.
To the point about thunderstorm and elquines attacking while casting freezing breath, Since when is a summon attacking better than the user attacking? 25secs of standing there is no joke. its long. and we are suppose to waste time and let weak summons dmg for us? Also summons may invoke unessesary action from the boss *e.g seduce from horntail, refect and seduce from pink bean statues*. Freezing breath should at least damage a few times in its 25secs duration even if its only 1 hit or DoT.
if you compare to the other paralisyng bosses skills, this is the best, you can do this while in damage reflection, you can freeze every enemy that come, and normaly you won’t fail to paralyse the mobs/bosses, the other skills paralyse and it’s done, also it have 25 sec duration the others have 20 only, this one can be bad for you but for party is really good, problably they want you to go more in party.
not sure what the fuss about between the 3 people above but well… it sure stinks I/L didnt get a good a treatment as F/P and Bishops did. Overall Bishops got the most buffed since they became stronger and more useful…F/P got buff only damage wise and has zero support capability.
I/L over 10 years has been in between the other two classes in the magican class tree thus making them balanced with attacking slight support class and this is what Nexon is still trying to do.
-Chain Lightning, an excellent bossing and mobbing skill, is indeed powerful but i think the support skill to balance it is rather lousy.
Freezing breath, sure the def and magic def reduction is good and all but to be frank, since the mind of the community has become a “who can solo a boss fastest” and since the game itself leads in that direction, this “support” skill doesnt fit well with the class. 25secs off freezing is too long for a person to just press a button and do nothing, even with elquines and thunderstorm (which hits like insanely fast now) damaging, it is indeed not as good as using chain lightning. A good idea like mentioned above by others would be to give the skill some sort of damage. Since its a 25 duration skill, why not give it a skill thats at least 1 hit per 5 secs that would at least be damage and calm some of the angry I/L.
In my opinion, i would like them to change Frozen Orb.
You see, F/P uses parayze & mist eruption [Extremely Deadly due to Dmg increased with DoT stacked]
Bishops use Angel Ray & Big Bang [Big bang ignores % def stacks 4 times and is full charged per hit under Genesis CD]
I/L uses Chain Lightning & frozen orb. [CL is strong itself but frozen orb doesnt compliment CL as well as GC did previously]
Frozen orb though fast damage, requires constant casting as it doesnt last for very long & the damage is similar to a summon – LOW
Well i guess the 2nd attack skill for the magician class has to have a catch to it.. since Mist Eruption requires poison mist to be casted and DoT stacked to get full dmg, Big Bang only good when genesis is under CD thus making bsps having to juggle using diff skills while still supporting…but when conditions are met they are strong unline the frozen orb.. hope they at least buff the damage of the skill.
The other changes for I/L seem good. element adapting after the change is good, we get pdr skills..still mixed feeling about getting % crit like the one mention above, % crit dmg would be better but is it just me or am i just getting paranoid, but was ice strike attack range reduced horizontally and increased vertically? that seems wierd…
Let me know yea 🙂 lets not forget it is still a game 😛
Personally, I think that I/L revamp was quite bad. 0 damage on freezing breath for 25s. That is crap. I know it’s a straight-out support skill, but at least give it damage like maybe 1 or 2 hits per 5s, as mentioned above.
Frozen Orb is rubbish as well. Personally, I think it’d be better if it were not a summon but an actual AoE cast skill with better damage. This would allow it to better complement chainlightning and dissuade I/Ls from spamming chainlightning all the time. Before this revamp, we used chainlightning in combination with glacierchain but now we can’t do that since glacierchain’s damage and pdr was severely nerfed. So, it would be great if Frozen Orb had damage on par with that Flame Haze or whatever skill F/Ps have. Oh wait. Even half that damage for 5 hits would be welcome.
The extra critrate sucks too. Most people even without DSE already have like 85-100% crit with chainlightning so what’s the point of giving us extra? I think it’d be better if they’d given us crit dmg% or even total dmg% instead.
The 5% pdr is ridiculous. 5% is barely even noticeable. The least they could’ve done would have been to at least give 10%. Other classes all have like 20-30% on their skills, and the pdr that glacierchain had pre-RED is now kind of gone, so I’d expect some form of compensation, personally.
Finally, Elquines is just pure ugly. I WANT THE OLD ELQUINES BACK. Blue flames on an ice summon is ridiculous.
Just my opinion.
What if the I/Ls don’t want to go in party? Party play sucks. I absolutely detest having to kill bosses and whatnots in a party. It doesn’t allow me to test myself and my damage and worst of all, it lags my stupid computer.
tsk tsk
Max, just asking why nexon said that puppet is NOT bowmaster’s style?
I think it’s because BMs now focus on quick repositioning while using their rapid fire attacks. Basically we’re closer ranged-ish than Marksman so I guess they thought we didn’t need it?
With that said why did they give us a “Bossing skill” that forces us to stay in one spot and only lasts 15seconds. I mean I get that we should just rely on one attack but at least let the bossing one be as quick or faster than the mobing skill right? Plus that skill is bulky and ugly imo. However i do like the new mobing skill i was quite impressed with that. The notching sound it makes is however not attractive. Also whats your opinion on the changes? How will it affect you and your bossing/ mobing style? or will it at all? And do what do u think of the new animations?
Don’t ask me, I hate Arrow Platter 😦
GIVE BACK HURRICANE IN 4TH JOB NEXON
Yeah i dont blame you I cant stand arrow platter. I do however like the uncountable arrow. I think if they just put a different animation it would be SOOOOOOO much better.
and another question, how many monsters bolt rupture hit? (sniper)
LOL
Champion patch
angel ray from 420% decrese to 375% ,no. of hits from 3 increase to 4
RED
375% increase to 395%,no. of hit from 4 decrease to 3
NOW
395% decrease to 365%,no. of hit from 3 to 4 again
NEXON, YOU THINK NOBODY NOTICE THIS??????
STILL A NERF FOR BISHOP!!!!
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
umm dumbass they increased the speed if you weren’t so stupid you would have noticed in the kmst vids.
hey extra dumfuck ass its spedd got decreased at last patch also we lost telecast for it..
mercedes are getting strong and strong almost every patch!!!!1111
But they will still be one of the weaker jobs.
Some people are just never happy, especially when the buff is undeserved and other classes need it alot more.
Agreed.
The sad reality is that my Mercedes has always been by far the weakest out of all my characters. After the nerfs though, angelic buster, demon slayer, and xenon are right there at the bottom too. Nexon’s severe nerfs are way to harsh. <
On the up side, Aran is godly now. lol XD
Actually Demon slayer is still above average dpm, and GMS AB is still in the top 10. Mercedes, however, got punched hard a while after the initial round of nerfs, and has been below the median for a while.
GMS AB got both the CMS and KMS nerfs.. Unless there was some 100% untold patch, check again..
Enraged version how it work now?
335% x 5 hits when enraged ,does it apply the 60% damage buff as well? Or just 335% x 5 hits?
now causes all attacks to not consume normal arrows (attack arrows will still be consumed normally) explanation???
now causes all attacks to not consume normal arrows (attack arrows will still be consumed normally)
If you have normal arrows in your inventory they won’t be used up but attack arrows will be (so basically normal arrows are literally useless forever)
uncountable arrow? thats a crap !!!
So, Max, what do you think about this reorganization with so many changes to the Bowmaster? Do you like them, yes, no?
I like the concepts behind it but the execution is terrible. Uncountable Arrow/Arrow Platter are both ugly and Arrow Platter sucks in comparison to Hurricane in every way, I hope they give us back Hurri in 4th 😦
Get that crap out of here! The last 2 or 3 archer revamps have catered to Bowmasters. It’s not our fault Marksman put more funding into their characters than Bowmasters. The only thing Marksman got out of this update is piercing arrow. That’s a big deal for us. Other than that they pretty much took away all of our attacks. Our class was stripped clean. Puppet was changed and nerfed and left with Marksman while the awesome drain arrow for Bowmasters which gives you HP was made even more over-powered to match your over-powered Advanced Final Attack and damage over-time. And everything else Bowmasters have that Marksman don’t. Psuedo-bosses won’t even be able to get pushed either so Dragon Pulse is pointless as well.
The puppet skill is actually a little better than the old one. It actually pulls the bosses towards it which is pretty cool. If you want to check about the puppet there is a video on youtube somewhere.
the problem is it cool down, the rest can be but the cool down make you use one time, so if you put it wrong you get fucked D:
that’s true, normaly i see noobs bowmaster if i see then O.o
If Bowmasters like their update let them have it. Personally, as a Marksman I would like to take the new Double Jump, Piercing Arrow, and Additional Bolt hyper-skill and call it a day. They can keep the rest of their crap and leave all of my other skills alone. What’s with the warrior rants on our Bowmen update anyway?
probably they’re going to chang some stuff for bowmans like warrios and mages
well we got more defence if you see up to 80% absorve while attacking, but i don’t know how the new stuffs work
also they would see something better for mortal blow i think it’s useless today
I want Night Lord’s changes to be announced so bad….just…show me them, Nexon. 😦 I sad.
Hopefully next week! I’m anxious to see what they’ll do too. :[
Like you said, that’s what everyone said last patch and were complaining about the loss in chain lightning hits. People demanded it back. Now it’s back with a new 73% damage increase. Dur…I dunno, isn’t it common sense to listen to what the people want? Make up your mind, do you guys want it or not?
With all due respect, he was right in saying you guys did complain about your DPM. Comparing your damage to other classes just means you feel obsolete because another class out damages you. You can’t tell him that’s not DPM related. That’s clearly related to DPM. You guys want equal buffs? It’s either reduce F/P’s damage, or buff I/L’s to achieve equal buffs which essentially is DPM.
Also in the case of I/L’s, they’re ENCOURAGING party play at bosses. There’s no denying why they added freezing breath for a reason. Everyone contributes to taking down more harder bosses. Just look at Bowmasters and their Wounds Shot. Look at the Bishop buffs for Dispel (Zombify and Seduce? do want) and Advanced Blessing (more boss damage). Those who are bias towards soloing bosses…well…sorry to say. It looks like it’s going back to old ways.
Killing bosses in a party reduces the amount of loot that the I/L gets, thus decreasing the amount of money he can make from the run. While other classes can easily solo the said boss, what’s an I/L gonna do to make money now?
In unlimited didn’t they make it so everybody gets their own loot? Your point is moot.
Besides, that’s like saying there’s no point in playing any class that can’t solo bosses, that’s just silly.
If you’re so desperate for money you can get it other ways, or play a money-getting class.
Well, not everybody is going to get that 1 horntail necklace from the same run right? YOUR point is moot. And technically, for solo maplers, there IS no point in playing classes that cannot do solos. And say the mapler in question is a teen, who is not allowed to buy cash in this pay-to-win game, and has spent months/years training his I/L to a decent level. Isn’t it ridiculous to force him to play another class just because he cannot solo the bosses to fund himself?
Well, BaM’s still got the booster nerf…. Thy want to rustle my jimmies, calling it 😐
But yay for the archers! LOL, Hunters now looks like Hawkeye and Green Arrow!
I hope you know bams still hit attack speed cap with out body boost…
Mercedes need to summons 3 knights and also give back multi-snipe.
for clarification, do MM get 20% Crit when slightly far and 3% when close or the other way around? my friend things 20% crit when the monster is right in your face (leaving a weird weak range in the middle)
The further you are, the higher bonuses you will get.
the archers dont seem to be as stron as the knights or swordman
could the battle mage get a true revamp please?
increase damage sucks we need new skill!
Bucklerman? A guy selling “general Mastery Books”? Heavens, I hope MW is included because getting MW has been retarded hard, nigh impossible, to get ever since we got that MMB nonsense. At least they gave us some alternative to buying overpriced books from scamming goons in the FM. A little overdue, perhaps, but I’ll take it without complaint.
Battle Mage’s updates left me scratching my head. “Art of Staff” giving speed boost is redundant with Yellow Aura, so….what? And what’s with the speed reduction on Booster? We kinda need that speed. Then the increase in the Blows’ damage is cool and definitely needed, thumbs up there. Super Body’s duration increase is a little silly. The CD being equal with the duration was good enough. The CD removal/reduction on the 4th job skills was a very nice touch. But the main thing that left me scratching my head was the Hyper Skill. The increase in Stance effect is nearly useless, max crit damage is out of place, and the obligatory cap increase is the cherry on top of this sub-par Hyper Skill. I am definitely forecasting a massive change in that Hyper Skill since it easily pales in comparison to pretty much every other one. Besides, Union Aura, albeit slightly out of flavour, was leagues better and made me very happy.
FINALLY! They make Iron Body less worthless! 10% DR is exactly on level with what it should be, although my bone to pick is that the range limit is an unprovoked slap in the face; why add that? Out of flavour and the logic eludes me; side note on DR: they better be bringing Rage’s DR up to 30%, it’s 30 pre-revamp and it’s not smart to take DR away from a class that already lacks it. The Raging Blow tweaks are cool, but I’d stop trying to make it incredibly badass when we have a 5th Job Advancement to work out because they’re probably going to have to try to top it (random opinion insertion: Brandish remains the best looking attack skill; I mean, cool effects AND you actually watch your own sword and not this generic Sephiroth-wannabe-animation).
Pallies got their Shield Mastery back at beyond power, so yay for them! My only thing to pick about that is that they let it apply to people using Rosarios. Come on, that makes absolutely no sense. Yes, I block your Earth Breaker with an un-magical cross necklace…yep seems legit. But seriously, Paladins get the option between offense and defense, so why not Heroes? We CAN use Shields like how Paladins CAN use two-handed weapons, so what’s up with that? *insert rant about loss of Mastery and Blocking here*
Dark Knight changes are fairly subtle…nothing worth commenting on, though. Mostly stuff that makes me happy.
Dark Knight changes were bigger than the Hero changes.
Unless you meant changes to the revamp then yeah, nothing major.
max can you reorganize it so that the new changes are with the other changes for warriors
Max I saw this in extractions for Bowmen, did we get?
Nature’s Drain
Description: When attacking, gain a chance to recover HP and MP. However, the recovery cannot exceed 10% of the maximum of that stat.
Info: type = 51, hpDrain = 1, mpDrain = 1, condition = attack
Maximum Level: 1
20% chance to heal 100% of damage as HP and MP
That’s the PvP passive skill lol.
Nevermind, its a pvp skill -_-
NVM its a pvp skill
For the Buckler thing, is it 100% for each book or is it just the normal 70% and 50% books?
For the Buckler NPC, does he sell 100% books or the normal 70% and 50% books?
I have no idea, I’d assume it’s 100% based on how the description makes it seem like it would work, but it might not be.
i hope they don’t eff up arans lol.
I think I’m going to make an archer now.
is there any phantom footage of them stealing the new skills? or they cant steal them? cuz i’m dying to see if they can be stolen or not :O
sad….. no more arrow rain its remove (T_T)
Lol Good bye xenons ;o
Idea for a revamped mortal blow for marksman: when the boss/monster reach x% of his hp you get y%bonus damage, and when it’s killed you have z% chance to recovery w%hp and mp or just hp 😀
and for bowmaster like dodge bonus and idk the other thing
Is a little injust don’t you think? %bonus damage is much better than dodge. it will be better if both get % bonus damage, but this idea is a little OP.
Max, when are these changes coming to KMS?
And I was gonna main a Xenon. Never mind..
mercedes should be buffed 🙂
i fell in love with mercedes the moment it was released. i still remember all those haters that complained about mercedes ksing everyone. Their grace, mobility, the way they fly around everywhere using intricately linked combos is so nice!
until the point where they got nerfed and new classes started being introduced, i started feeling sorry for my merc. ishtars feel like nothing compared to trinity soul seeker, gigaslash and the rest 😦
Maybe Nexon thinks mercedes are balanced, and thats why they have received almost nothing in terms of revamp besides % changes and a few tweaks here and there.. But mercedes is really bottom at the pecking order now. They cant even compare in terms of dps and their survivability is just HAHAHAHAHA
I hope they actually do Mercedes justice as a Queen (of Elves) when 5th job is released.. Mercedes will forever remain in a special place in my heart. But until then, OCTOPUNCH MOTHERFUCKAS
Also i have a question for Bishops. Their specialized skill gives them % damage for every buff their party members have. Define buff? blessing potion, onyx apple? so technically if every member has 10 buffs we get 10×5%x5 members: 250% damage?
I’m pretty sure it’s limited, to the class buffs. Such as Bless and Holy Symbol. No one’s mentioned it on Youtube though.
So Max, do you face palm frequently while reading comments on here?
Yo nexon, what’s up with the Frozen Breath skill and the lack of mobility of Thunderstorm? It’s ridiculous! *points to the Flame Haze skill that F/Ps have*
I mean like it’s pretty stupid for I/Ls to do 0% x 0 while F/Ps do 520% x 5…
And please, please make Glacier Chain somewhere near what it was last time… Now all we can do is spam Chain Lightning…
If nexon wants to buff F/Ps, the least it could do would be to give I/Ls an equal buff. I/Ls are already way below F/Ps in the DPS chart.
What has happened here is that nexon has turned I/Ls from an attack class to a support class with the introduction of Frozen Breath. I think that this is not fair to the players who chose and funded this class because of the fact that it is a unique attack class, who now have to deal with the fact that they have basically become support for others. What are antisocial solo players like me supposed to do with that useless skill? And people like me can’t exactly just quit their lv200 I/Ls after pouring basically all their resources into funding it.
Utterly ridiculous.
Honestly I think all jobs should be nerfed… like a lot. Getting too OP and the bosses hardly seem like a challenge anymore…
Why should everyone get nerfed? Bosses got that huge buff that made them impossible, that’s why they shouldn’t..
Do you remember seal, slow, big bang? skills that don’t really get used?
If Frozen Breath stays the same, no damage, consider it like that.
Then nothing will have changed and you’ll have gotten your +600% damage buff to chain lightning. Consider using the new Frozen Orb instead of the old Glacier Chain.
Mobility of Thunderstorm should be improved for such a mobile mage class.
One skill does not a support class make. They were not a support class while having Seal and Slow, two skills that deal no damage, they aren’t a support class with one skill that deals no damage.
Also, still, 5th job coming, look forward to that.
isn’t the sharp eyes removed? only available at hyper skill?
Everything that wasnt mentioned in this post wasnt changed. So Sharp Eyes is still an available skill. I know, I find it confusing too.
Ok.. Thanks
Ribbonpig’s blog lists a nerf to Advanced Combo Attack. Is that true?
So, Mercedes will make to 210% dmg when critical hit, won’t we?
wow they real need to stop nerf ar of bishop i know that skill heal now but come on why they keep low the dmg down i hate that but i think i happy that ar got 4 hit and adv bless back to it old way but i sad that they nerf Genesis why they did that it was the most powerfu skill u have of a bishop to low down to 1900% to 810% is a big ass drop of dmg and to have it hit up to 6 time is good but to have cool down to 30 to 45 sec make that skill a litter bit long to cast it but i do like the new hyper skill 10% boss dmg is a lot better then the old one but over all i think this update of bishop is good but i just sad that genesis dmg is way down in they keep on fk nerf ar but will get over it soon or late
You clearly overlooked that genesis hits 4 times now, not 1, so it ends up being 2440%
AR was nerfed/made into a support skill but with blessings ensemble the bishops base damage should have a significant jump so the dps will most likely be higher noticably higher then it used to be. dispel is amazing now, the new big bang is fairly strong especially in a group and provides the bishop with a omni-directional attack in 4th job thats viable unlike old BB.
and also for those who think the archer still sucks… just remember arrow cartridge and advanced quiver. this means we are much more versatile than before. low on HP and no pots? drain will help you out. strong boss ahead of you? magic arrows are the way to go. boss with a lot of HP and strong attacks? poison arrow will help out. also just think of the possibilities. drain arrow with advanced quiver paired with hurricane would be a constant hp generator. hurricane withe magic arrows would make dish out large amounts of dmg quickly and poison arrows will do DOT for a long time. and this is only with hurricane. so we bowmasters will be a lot more versatile and we would probably be really good soloers..
My proposition regarding hyper skills:
Move their level requirements down. This is because hypers enhance existing 3rd and 4th job skills. If this is so, with 5th job just around the corner, wouldn’t it make sense to move it down? The way I see it, those hyper skills are meant for 4th and 3rd job skills, thus it would not make sense for them to have such a high level requirement. However, it also depends on what level 5th job will be available in.
OT:
Regarding the “general mastery books”… Will they work on 5th job skills? I’m assuming that they’ll require mastery books as well.
Also, here’s another thing that I found strange:
Fairy academy is lvl 30, right? If that’s so, where does that leave mushroom kingdom?
For that matter, where does that leave Chryse (a lvl 50 dungeon) when Reina strait is implemented?
Shouldn’t they adjust their levels to cover the gaps in levels with the theme dungeons?
I personally think it gives more variety and choice in what theme dungeons you want to do. Personally, I dislike doing Chryse because of its tedious collecting of items. It’s almost not worth it unless you want those glasses from Xeres.
Though variety at such low levels is not always a good thing. A little variety, yes, but when you level so fast at these low levels and yet you want to do all the content, it gets annoying and unfortunate, it’s like wasted material, my opinion though.
agreed, they shouldve made it a high lvl content and not another lvl 30 content
i hope the skill that decreases the marksman avoibility don’t decrease the dodge from iLLusion step and the other skill…
300th comment
why they removed arrow rain?????
most likely because of arrow platter or uncountable shot. and besides. why would we need when we have inferno and arrow cartridge?
what they are waiting for reskining the blow skill of the battle mage :l
Fuck you maple why you remove Dark implae ignore defense o0o
man no other skill have %ignore defence in the skill, only 1×1 have but this is a area one so it’s to OP to DK have %ignore def in the main skill, plus they want you use more sacrifice because of 5 job maybe?
and they passed it to sacrifice, peoples are so spoiled maybe…
You should really shut up and read more carefully.
Max advanced quiver increases the count to 20 arrows.
Never thought about deleting my 200 BM until I read this..
Why get rid of hurricane as a 4th job skill if you’re not going to give another hurricane like skill in return…. WITHOUT a CD i might add.
And that Uncountable Arrow crap looks so retarded and the sound of it is annoying as hell.
+1 more fuck up for nexon.
Don’t delete your BM just yet, they -are- releasing 5th job after all.
Who needs the 4th job stuff when they’re saving the truly end-game-breaking stuff for 5th?
That’s something you have to deal with when you’re playing a multiplayer game.
It’s like asking “What if I don’t want to use guns in a first person shooter?” – you’re going to have to deal with the limitations of your decision, even if it makes things less pleasant.
It seems as though there’s one thing that people are forgetting.
5th job has been confirmed.
Consider it a shadow looming over these changes.
Everybody is used to 4th job skills being end-game content, and that was important, because it defined the “end” of your characters.
This is different now. 4th job is no longer the end-all.
3rd and 4th jobs will become more situational than ever before, they’re meant to get you past 4th job and get to 5th.
The revamps so far are -nice-, not exceptional, but -nice-, because you’re always going to feel like -something- is missing…
Unfortunately, that feeling isn’t going to go away. They’re not going to be revamping 1st through 4th, just so they have to revamp it again once 5th comes out.
They have 5th in mind with these changes.
Of course, there’s still a lot of testing the waters, a lot of trying to find a new proper “feeling” for each class, but consider, what grand plans may they have to build on each class’s current set?
4th job will be more like 3rd job now. There will be something more.
Of course, this is not to say “Forgive everything they do because 5th will fix it”, no.
Just… there’s a point where you should be aware, in the gap where “There is no attack that feels right end-game”, something may fill that gap.
I think things like flaws and changes are great to consider, like the change from paladin’s supportive charges to active attacks, or the feeling from the updated attacks not being quite right, like with the slowed down chain lightning from the last patch…
but before you start talking about deleting your characters, wait until the -full- details for your classes are revealed.
Man the skill that decrase stat to we gain other sucks, other classes are just getting stuff and not losing if you compare to what they was, but this sucks for archers f7
but it’s too much in my opinion, even if it’s good
it can still be ok, if the skill that decrases dmg don’t take mt damage i’m happy
just asking here, but does this new jobs requires to hunt core books, like angel ray?
this isnt even a new job -.-
Bishops are a support class they dont need attack power but having some would be a bonus
boom
Batman
what is Marksman bossing skill?
Snipe. And if you dont have the 100% cd hyper skill, Piercing Arrow.
the comments I read about dark knight changes, made by dark knights, make me laugh. Everything we had chopped off was added back somewhere else with further bonuses but so many people are too much focused on whining about how heroes have higher damage, like it was relevant. Then heroes should be complaining about how they have crap hp recovery skills and they lack a free, albeit cooldowned, wheel that also grants invincibility. We now even have an amazing 1v1 skill (gungnir can be spammed for 2/3rds of the time now without any buff increasing addition such as mechanic card or inner ability) and impale lost a damage % so low compared to the improvements (40% pdr deleted from it but 30% added as a passive, read it, passive, effect of sacrifice along with 10% boss damage and the missing 10% pdr with sacrifice on). I’m a dark knight and I for one am content with all this. We even have 165% min critical damage which makes us benefit from (decent) SE’s X% max critical damage increase as a pure X% damage increase, also due to how easily we reach 100% critical rate. Have the decency to wait for 5th job to bitch around, because as of now there’s really nothing wrong in what they’re doing to us.
we need more Drk players like you 🙂
I like you. You’re one of the few DrK players that actually keep calm and read all the way through. Keep making sense, we need people like you.
you may lose in the bonus 20%dmg in ur rang, but the %damage in the skill may be better, you had 200%dmg x5 so 1000%, and 1200%with hyper now it’s 1345% so it’s better right?that i know you had 20%pdr from impale and now 30% for all skills
for the sake of precision, before this update, impale was hitting 6 times with hypers so that would be 1440% damage compared to 1345% now. It would be 1692% if you look back at v.478 which anyway was some sort of beta. But really, losing 95 on a total of 1440 is actually a mere 6,6% final damage decrease relatively to what it was before the update. 6,6% damage which you can pour from basically any other skill that was perfectioned in the process. Crossover chain for one. The pdr changes are pretty irrelevant – due to it being multiplicatively stackable, 20%+20% from pre-red was actually 36% alone, while now impale goes on 30% passively and on 37% with sacrifice on. It hitting 8 mobs instead of 6 is just a plus that is not to be despised.
man the 20%bonus damage go to ur rang not to the skill
cant tell if theyre ruining hero or upgrading it…
I think staff booster doesn’t decrease bams attack speed if it does it wouldn’t be called a booster
lol
Nexon just bloody nerf DrK’DI,why remove Dark Impale – Reinforce/Ignore Guard/Bonus Attack.This seem like a huge disadvantage to DrK as 1line and 20%damage is remove,for Gungnir i find it unless b/c u cannot spam like DI and it hit only 1 mob.And they expect me to change to spamming gungnir while i cannot even spam it or maybe spamming it on a short while but still since jump patch i have been spamming DI for the last bloody 3year and now they expect me to change to a new skill.If they could jus remove Gungnir and add the effect of it to DI and change the Gungnir hyper skill bck to DI,DrK will be better off like tat.
bro you was with 20%pdr that i know with impale, 40% with hyper but, now 30%for all skills, +you get a bonus in the %dmg in the skill, 1200% with hyper to 1345%
also the monster hit went to 8 so same as with the hyper bonus
does arrow platter has cooldown after it cast finished?
wait a second dude. you say final attack effect has been renewed but it doesnt have any effect to begin with. whats up with that?
So everyone asked for changes and revamps there they have it
now they ask to nerf the classes? Wtf?!
So Max…does Snipe still have a CD?
It doesn’t have CD when Lv. 195 Hyper Skill is applied.
Arrow Platter is literally the arrow version of Spectral Light (Luminous) ROFL … and seriously, they need to give Final Blow for BaMs a wider skill image to match the skill distance. When I carry a freakin’ Mana Crown and running around whacking things, i feel awkward having my staff wayyyy to infront of my skill. It’s like an archer shooting, and arrows coming from behind… lol. and they should give BaMs a flash jump instead of teleport. Like screw the fact that theyre mages… since theyre melee, give them flash jump or a godly lumi-tele.
Man, I love the new animations done to the Battle Mage but since the revamp in KMS was so bad, it had to be cancelled. Personally, I’d love to see new animations done to the Battle Mage and not just his bland 6 hit blows.
regarding the dark knight dark impale defense ignore remove.
not sure if any of u guys saw this ?
Sacrifice: defense ignore boost has been decreased from 30% to 10%, new effect of 10% boss damage has been added, duration has been increased from 30 seconds to 40 seconds, >>>passive effect of 30% defense ignore has been added<<<
they would do the new effect when you’re not with enrage D:
NO NO NO! they did not just nerf blast! D< Paladins are going to be weaker then they already are!
u kidding?
I/Ls are just pure weak and they just made everything except chain lightning weaker.
man go play a luminous, i’m sure it’s a good job, and it won’t get any nerf, it’s a good class to be OP since you want one class OP.
Dude… Lumis are even lower than I/Ls on the %s chart.
Ikr my luminous is so slow and the weakest mage I have since red update.
Typo, under Evan’s changed skills it says duration 3o seconds instead of 30 seconds.
they can change the PDR skill to 5% PDR for each counter(max 5=25%) and the skill that make more %abnormal statos to 180 sec for all 3 explorers mages+the i/L have 60 sec duration
also the %elemental resistence come back, and the mastery go to Magic mastery for f/p and i/l
and maybe add 15% minimum critical dmg too
magic mastery give the buff duration that make sence
also they have 30% bonus abnormal resistence, i think they have only 20% so some skill give more 10% or 15% like marksmans and bowmasters
also arcane can have more 10% pdr 20% is not really good, i think they only have 20% from their class(bishop have 40% with hyper), but more for f/ps and i/ls
And for heros do the mastery to combat mastery and the 15% minimum critical damage if they don’t have now, and maybe some attack like 15 or even 30
For marksman, we can have our new ”puppet” with 60 sec duration and 30 cool down, it would be cool because puppet don’t last much with 60, so 20 realyl sucks, and maybe put it like a buff to we know it duration.
really*
for bowmasters they can use the bonus %resistence from concentrate only if the bowmaster %resistence fail like for mages and luminous.
also the %pdr from marksman ship would be incrased to 30%, because marksman don’t have much %pdr from most skill(snipe have 40%, only snipe)
also for marksman that they don’t lose 20% for the new shield, even if it decrease it %absorve damage that is now
please increase the monsters hit to 7, 6 sucks compared to other classes T-T, even if it’s a good skill 7 is enught for me 😀
i mean the piercing arrow
much peoples won’t put more mobs at high lvs so ye
they can make the toggle skill to 20% critical damage not only maximum, loosing 50% of our avoib isn’t really good, but not so bad,
also the %pdr go to 10% pdr and add 10% boss in other place like re-placing the bonus duration to 10%boss, and critical rate can still be like this
the marksman revamp is disappointing we didn’t get much to speak of
we’re more a criticla classes, makrsman use critical like the combo for hero, so we won’t get much in rang i think
but yes we need some changes in this new revamp
Looking for Arrow Rain and Eruption in 4th Job and Blizzard Shot in 3rd Job again….
if only they are so kind to return those 2 skills to us….better still buff them…..
i think archer would look good in white… but green is okay i guess. >.>
Why don’t they remove the skill book requirements already.. (not mastery book)
sorry but i will be really in rage if they make we lose 20%dmg to get more defence, the new things won’t do anything or just a litte to us, even if it goes to 40% or 30% bonus absorve f3
for Damage reversing (marksman new skill), 8 sec is ok for also
arrow platter seems not appealing to us bowmaster..
Merc is the weakest class I ever play.
