kMSt ver. 1.2.480 – Thief and Pirate Reorganizations!
The last of the Adventurer updates has finally been released to Tespia, with changes to the Thief and Pirate classes! They did skip over Dual Blade and Cannon Shooter, although there were some changes to them that are really interesting. They also added the new Adventurer storyline, the Free Advancement system and a reorganization the the profession system!
Finally done!
New NPCs and illustrations have been added in the data. Could those two blonde characters be Zero and Ether, the new jobs being added with the Child of God content?
The guy with glasses is the one from the trailer I believe, who was talking with the Black Mage’s commanders… interesting.
Two new hairs have been added to the creation of Adventurers, the Kerning City hair for males and Nautilus hair for females.
Adventurer Magicians now advance at level 10 like the rest of the classes.
Dual Blade and Cannon Shooters have been incorporated into regular Adventurers. Their Cash storages have been merged (now all Adventurers share them). Phantom can now steal their skills just like the rest of the Adventurers!
All Adventurer pirates will now receive the Master of Swimming and Master of Storage passives that Cannon Shooter had.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention but Dual Blades and Cannon Shooter can also choose these hairs for their creation now, they’ll also receive the new clothes that Adventurers got.
An Adventurer storyline has been added! Now, when you create one, you’ll receive the Adventurer’s Logbook which records your progress for these quests along with a summary and a picture. I believe each job has their own set of stories (the above are for the thief).
It’s sort of cool really, you meet these NPCs that are modelled after other characters and jobs. For example, if you play a thief, you’ll meet an archer named Olivia who asks you to help her.
An updated tutorial will be coming in a future patch.
Adventurers have received an Emblem slot! Along with it comes three new Emblems.
As you can see, there are three (Silver gives 5 all stats and 1 attack/magic attack, Gold gives 10 all stats and 2 attack/magic attack, and Crystal gives 15 all stats and 3 attack/magic attack).
What’s interesting though is that you get the Silver one at level 60, the Gold one at level 100, and the Crystal one at level 160. Does this mean 5th job will be taking place at level 160?
The Free Advancement system mentioned during the RED update conference has been added! With it, you can choose to switch to a different job within your class (e.g. if you are a Hero, you can switch to Paladin or Dark Knight). However, there are some conditions.
- You must be a 4th job Adventurer
- You must have either enough Free Advancement Coins or mesos (the cost depends on your level as well as how many times you have changed jobs, e.g. a level 201 had to pay 471m mesos but another SS I saw it only cost 26m)
- You can only change jobs once per day
- All your SP and mastery levels will be reset
- If the job you are switching to uses a different main stat (e.g. Captain to Viper), your AP will be switched
- If the job you are switching to has a Link Skill, you will gain that Link Skill (and vice versa, meaning you cannot get the Cannon Shooter Link Skill on a Captain or Viper)
- After switching, you will get a level 100 weapon of the job you switched to
The Profession system has been reorganized!
- You can now learn mining and herb collecting at the same time
- You no longer need pickaxes or shovels in order to mine/collect, but you can still use upgraded ones if you wish
- The amount of item crystals acquired when breaking down equipment has been adjusted
- Producing items level 120 or below (except for certain ones) no longer requires recipes
- The amount of crafting items you can hold in one slot has been increased
- Some items’ required crafting items and fatigue have been changed, creation waiting time has been added
- A cooldown has been added to fatigue restoring potions
There are two new extracting machines, the first for Cubes (it says you can extract Strange Cubes and produced Cubes… can we now use professions to make Cubes?) and the second for Scrolls (for scrolls, recipes, and Flames)! Thanks to Spadow for the images!
A new artisan and scholar systems have been added to professions. Now, after you get level 10 of equipment production, jewel crafting, or alchemy, you can raise your mastery level (through the same methods of creating items to gain experience)! In addition, you will gain a special effect around you when your mastery level is high.
A higher mastery level means you will be able to create items with a higher chance and possibly upgrade them. You can also gain access to new recipes (like new face accessories, potions which give boss damage, defense ignore, % all stats). These new recipes will require items dropped by boss monsters over level 160.
These include the new Meister set which you can see here: Character > Accessory > Earring/Ring and Character > Weapon. The Meister Earrings (level 140) give 5 all stats, 500 HP and MP, 4 attack/magic attack with 6 slots, the Meister Ring (level 140) gives 5 all stats, 200 HP and MP, 3 attack/magic attack with 1 slot.
The weapons themselves are comparable to Fafnir, they are level 145 and have high attack with 10% defense ignore, 30% boss damage and 8 slots. They are untradeable upon equipping and require Platinum Scissors of Karma. If you wear all three items, you will get a set bonus of 60 attack and magic attack and 10% HP and MP!
The personality trait system received some small changes. Empathy has had its effect of increasing quest experience changed to increased buff duration, and insight has received an additional effect of ignoring a certain percentage of monsters’ elemental resistance.

Pirates FTW!
The new NPCs look cool
i blame spadow
Lol when he said just rogue, I thought the pirate stuff would be missing and I could check out the thieves. He literally just meant rogue hahahah. Nice job so far, Max. Good luck with finishing the rest.
Dat Hurricane! ❤
YESSS THEY CHANGED IT TO RED!!! Hope you’re happy MAX and others who disliked the blue animation. I for one was a huge hater on the blue skills! Are they gonna change Uncountable Arrow and Wounds Shot’s blue colour though?
Lol! It looks really sick! xD
ikr
YES
i approve
ty max
derpderpderp
OMFG!!! I was waiting so long for this, I thought i would come out tommorow since it took so long D=
BTW: Max work harder. We all want the info ASAP
All the raw information is at southperry. I dont see you translating it though. Maybe instead of giving Max a hard time you could appreciate what he does for us or do it yourself.
OT: Nice to see they listened to player on the skill animations, giving warriors and archer branched their own colors, giving Bowmasters their fire theme, and finally adding Blunt weapon animations. Hopefully they keep listening to players and incorporate more feedback.
Sorry, reading that last part made me sound selfish but I was using it as an encouragement for Max.
And If i could read Korean, I would love to help Max if i could but too bad I am Chinese, who can’t read Chinese. o3o
And yes, I have read the stuff at Southperry. I could only understand the animations and the numbers. Tried Google translating but failed me since some parts doesnt make sense.
I was reading some of the stuff and came back to Max’s blog and found out that he posted new contents.
Shut the fuck up he’s working as hard as he can you little bitch.
Yeah. And I think the thief revamp is pretty cool. I keep reloading the page. XD
Take you time Max! You’re doing great. (:
woah calm down. the person corrected himself. that was a bit harsh for no reason. i saw that it looked bad too but then i saw he corrected himself
double flash jump for thieves o.o
Hey, it isnt that bad. NLs were the original Flash Jump, but now that all jobs have some form of Flash Jump, it makes sense for us to have 2x flash jump in mid-air. It makes us more of a “Thief” class, agility like no other.
Anyway, i am a hater of all the other jobs that stole Flash Jump from NLs. What made NLs so cool and very popular back then, other than damage, were Flash Jump and Shadow Partner. That was why i made them until all these other jobs “stole” them from us.
i didn’t say it was bad. just seems random
*jump* *flash jump* *double flash jump* XD
Ha-ha it looks like shit! lol
Than again Archer’s double jump looks even worse.
agree lo….
wat
Who noticed the Enlightenment Cube in the Animation? I believe it would be something like, Fuse “X” amount of Strange cubes and you can get yourself a certain Cube in the Cash Shop, or something like that.
OMG i love the paladin change
They are buffing the crap out of Pallies…I”M SO EXCITED!
Nice updates, but they’re still not done Max? I’ve been waiting for some!
Shut the fuck up he’s working as hard as he can.
Shut the fk up he’s working as hard as he can
calm down dude
I liked 9 attack snipe :{ It had more damage output because of crits on all 9 shots. But pro people will like it for 200m dmg.
9 attack snipe with all criticals would be the same as 1 attack snipe critical
While the percentage of damaged stayed the same, you are wrong when it comes to a marksman able to hit over 22.2 million on each of the nine hits as the damage turns into an excess of 200 million. 9 Hits of Snipe at max damage of 50mil each would equate to 450 million dmg. This is a significant nerf assuming the marksman is damage capped.
No, you can’t hit 50m cap with 9 hit Snipe even with 15k DEX. Most elites would be stuck at 30m+ max. With insane buffs, some can reach 40m+, but that’s to noob bosses such as normal zakum.
And lol at people still thinking that more hits = more damage when critical… This is already false since Big Bang patch when they adjusted the critical formula… and BBP is really… many years ago =.=
9 attack snipe is inferior. With the hyper skill that adds 1 extra hit from snipe, it effectively doubles snipes to over 8000%
it can go to 3 hits!
Now i can say nice revamp for Bowmasters 😀
mann they didn’t change the skill that decrease 20% dmg to have more %absorve, please change it to no damage reduced and make it like 30% absorve but i don’t want lose 20% dmg -.-, sereously much classes are getting stuff and we still loosing or just like before maybe, just snipe and piercing may be better but not so much, for 5 job loosing 20% of our damage really sucks
YES! They changed Night Lord’s Shade Splitter to nearly double the range of our current skill AND we don’t have to be inside the hitbox. No more Kamikaze. 😀 (source from southperry).
Yeah Shade Splitter was basically Band of Thieves…. now they realized that bandits and assassins play differently. they should have given shade splitter to shads and made a new skill for NL.
Critical Damage is multiplicative no additive, so 4410% 1 time = 490% 9 times.
Does XBm can bypass max cap? so far i see in videos that the ultimate snipe shot onli hits 50m max in videos and last time when out hyper it said 100m…thus snipe max cap onli 200m, 9x 50m (follow last time max cap)= 450m.
On top of that, does advanced bolt apply to snipe if reached lvl 177 which add the number of hit by 1?
It is very interesting… Shadow Splitter and Showdown Challenge. Without hypers, Show is weaker %-wise. Now the question is which is better speed wise…
With the new affects from Showdown, are we going to become mules now. 😉
R> NL to Showdown all mosnsters, HS, and Kanna.
effects*
You realize Kanna have that 30% effect as their FA, right?
Showdown is almost twice as strong as Shadow Splitter…
Shadow Splitter – 213 x 3 = 639 + (213 x 0.7 = 149.1 x 3 = 447.3) = 1086.3%
Showdown – 618 x 2 = 1236 + (618 x 0.7 = 432.6 x 2 = 865.2) = 2101.2%
That’s before Hypers.
With the extra hit hyper it does 3151.8% damage…that’s 1159.4% stronger than our current Quad Star (1992.4% or 2490.5% after hypers), and it’s an AoE that also gives us bonus EXP…that’s pretty huge. Our new Quad Star does 2570.4% damage before Hypers, 3213% after hypers.
you forgot demon slayers
Wow, Nightlords are still trash..
Yeah. Really disappointed in them. They didn’t even gain any new skills. Just a new animation for Shade Split and thats about it.
Well, besides the new Taunt.
What about the new Taunt? Look at it’s damage, over 1200% ! and can get +30% EXP in LHC, HoH, twilight perion, Hilla etc!
Having said that, I long for a Quad Throw renewed animation. May they just give that out, and I can say then that I’m pleased. I really don’t want any more, I’m not greedy, justtttttt add a new animation for Quad Throw xD and for the love of god make ’em starz flow in a perfect wave~
They might add it later as they did change some animations for other classes now.
Oh word. I sure hope so! 🙂
they also have the phantom’s cards flying around, instead of cards its stars
If you didn’t know, LHC in GMS will no longer by a Party Play Zone, meaning it wont be a good source(or as good) of EXP anymore.
No lv req to enter, regular hp, regular exp.
Bleh.
Plus I was saying the new Taunt was one of the good things about their revamp, not a bad one xD
Hi Max! Great post, once again! Expert Star Handling’s effect of boosting the damage of all skills – does that apply to Showdown challenege, Quad Throw etc? And with the way this looks, Showdown Challenge replaces Shade Split in 4th job, correct? Again, great translation as always! Take it easy 🙂
Yes I think it applies to everything.
Oh damn, Night Lords got a BIG increase for Quad throw. Nice. And now s.Blow for Shads looks a bit ridiculous now
woo! I/L should be a bit happier now with these changes.
Though, would be nice if Elquines could activate freezing effect like their fire counterpart.
Things are looking interesting =o
I love the idea of the Journal thing early on, seems like an interesting thing to start off with as a beginner to the game =]
i was hoping for avenger to come back
I´m still kinda dissapointed because warriors, bowman and Mages got a huge reorganization and more flashy skills and NL just got a revamp (not saying it was a bad one). 😦
Double FJ is garbage compared to Bowman’s new mobility. That’s the most annoying thing to me.
Just wait on it.
warriors and mages have been touched on three times so far
bowmen twice
there are plenty of examples where warriors, mages, and bowmen were -not- happy with their changes the first time around, and then things were updated much more nicely the next times they were touched on.
They never intended to fully change -everything- either. I thought that mark passive looked pretty cool, and the showdown skill looks awesome for bossing, if just for the added drop rate.
Night Lord’s revamp is pretty bad IMO…
Other classes got tons of mobility, damage boost and a lot of new skills….night lord got nothing. LOL
I’m glad they changed bowmasters skills’ colors red (: Now the colors go along with their fire theme
hmmm….lots of goods and bads and thanks for saying what the free job advancements thing is…I am seeing a lot of downgrades to the bishop………………………………
Other then that those are some good features for the other classes and I can’t wait to see job 5
Max quick question, is the delay on Shade Split still the same?
The renewed animation looks really slow? 😦 <
I was kind of hoping for assaulter and BoT to be back…
SAME!!
Well, you can kinda count Savage Blow to be the new “BoT”. It is a mobbing skill and hits a couple of times.
Wow, I’m loving the changes so far.
The blunt weapon animations look awesome
The changes to bowmaster look awesome, love what they did to arrow platter
F/P and I/L got some nice buffs
and snipe feels more like the “one-shot for major-damage” feel to the class.
Doesn’t look like there’s much to complain about now.
Though I’m sure EVERYBODY will find a way anyways 8D
Uh where’s meso guard o.o
Still there. Wow Shads barely got an improvement.
This is highly disgusting. Fuck off PhaseDash. Fuck off SuddenRaid. And fuck off Boss Damage Assassinate – extra hit > 20%.
Do they honestly don’t know what they’re doing? What Bandits actually want? PROPER 3rd job mobbing, and Assaulter.
Warirors Mages and Archers get a total overhaul, Thieves? Shafted. I am seriously hoping the KMS community is as pissed as I am, and we get ACTUAL changes.
Thief/Pirates always get the short end of the stick.
It’s just how Nexon operates. lol
May because they are always last, they run out of ideas for new skills and whatnot? So they do the bare minimum.
It’s a serious case of “lets change what the players like, and promote the crap stuff that they don’t”. Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg
That is actually a short end of the stick kinda theory seeing as even the 1st job warrior got his attack reanimated. Let’s wait for the next patch. There are still 2 weeks until the official update.
Warriors and mages and archers get completely more or was redone, pirates and adventurers are deeper in shit again.
They were also touched by the revamp 2/3 times.
but oh wait, pirates and thieves must be different, this must be set in stone! Oh too bad, looks like they’re screwed forever, better uninstall maplestory now because it’s all going down the crapper 😀
Actually i think thieves and pirates new skills revamp came from Justice. Other jobs didn’t recieve any big change in their skill sets since they came out unlike thieves and pirates during Justice. I think Nexon betted on the new skills from Justice as the final form of skills
That is why Nexon makes it so FAIR for every class. Lemme give you all the revamps Adventures got so far after Big Bang:
JUMP patch- Revamps Warrior, Mage, and Archer. They got revamped week after week but then they stopped and came out with a new job, which I forgot. They never revamped Thieves and Pirates when they were pretty much revamping all the Adventurers.
Before Justice patch where Thieves and Pirates get revamped- Warriors, Mages, and Archers once again gets revamped(Number changes and a few new skills)… And finally we got the thieves and pirates we have today.
RED Patch- Warriors, Mages, and Archers, pretty much got remade, while we Thieves and Pirates have to stick with the skills we got from Justice patch when those skills should have came during JUMP patch…
I wonder when the next “revamp” will be when we thieves and pirates actually get revamped like during Justice patch. Even though this is a great revamp, it is pretty much just changing the effects of all our old skills. That is nothing compared to what Warriors, Mages, and Archers received.
Agreed.
the reason of revamp is because they are weak, strong jobs like kaiser seldom have changes…..thieves and pirates are pro compared to warrior, mage and archers, thats why those 3 need more changes, but even after those changes, they are still not that strong. They get new skills but whats the point? i believe it is better to buff thieves and pirate’s original skills than coming out strange skills which may be noob….
Max if you don’t mind could you please add the new hairstyles after you are finished please? Thanks 🙂
Added 🙂
Is it just me, or does the new savage blow animation make bandits look like powerpuff girls?
What the fuck did they do to Shadowers, are you fucking kidding me? They better up the ante before the actual release because this is crap. Alright, finally being able to move our mesos is nice, but everything else is just lazy. It’s like half way through third job they just said to themselves “Gahh, bored, fuck this *chg ##SS*, DONE”, Changing Savage Blow into a Xenon’s 2nd job attack ripoff is not nice, not returning Assaulter is not nice, and why is the skill that got the biggest change Assassinate? That’s not even the main skill, every other job got some kinda buffed up main skill or a new skill to go with their main skill, instead we just get a reskinned version of ours with some slightly changed mechanics? That’s alright for a normal revamp, but when you hype a Revamp like the RED revamp you better deliver, and Nexon didn’t. It’s funny, all the other revamps took up more than a page, but the Shadower revamp and Chief bandit literally fit with in a single page.
Again, they better up the ante before the release, this is not satisfying. They need to return to the roots of the classes and learn something. Night Lords isn’t much, almost the same problem as the Shadower one, but the new Shade Split and Showdown kinda saves it. Shade Split actually looks decent now, and Showdown can work as their mob attack now: dealing 618% damage 2 times and debuffing them, and no cool down.
People on basil are arguing that it’s only this because of how “big” justice was. Except Justice only changed some numbers, replaced good skills with, again, unsatisfying skills, and just reskinned some stuff. I could care less about the damage boost, I’m not a damage cock sucker. I’m looking for some new fun skills that fit the bandit theme to play with, and aren’t copy paste of reskinned attacks.
Steal is nice, but having two mob skills is redundant, so I hope they change savage blow; unless the BS dmg upgrade makes it on par with some fourth job skills, enough to be chained with BS. That special class skill, really feels lazy, just a crit buff, and unlike the MM passive one, it’s not even that special. Other classes have active ones or fit the character’s theme, crit is nice, but if it’s the specialty of Shadowers; which doesn’t make sense since the original crit class were archers, then it’s just half-assed.
This whole thief revamp is half-assed, fuck, pirates probably too.
New Quad Throw animation or my NL flies with the dust
New Midnight Carnival and I remake my Shad
+ Boomerang step***
man you didn’t see all stuff, i mean, some classes still needing changes, like marksman, we still loosing 20% of our damage for a %absorve.(ok %absorve is good but i don’t want to lose 20%dmg to get def, ok 60% absorve is pretty much but they would do like 30% absorve and loosing 5% damage then it will be more a revamp for not dyng than beying more OP f3, also snipe is stronger so you can kill the mobs faster?-all hits you get is low?)ok we got a revamp for snipe wich is great, but for piercing arrow isn’t that good, i may get not the fully damage that i would get and for all other skills, 5job will come and how will be for then?loosing 20%dmg in our rang, only if it can re-place it(the loosing damage), i hope it does.
Sorry i’m plainning much but i feel bad that my hyper buff won’t give me my %dmg bonus but i will get the damage back(without the reinfoce hyper skill), maybe the range skill can overcome the loosing damage, so we need more rang in our skills+the dragon breath’s rush most of the things like how mercedes/phantoms do or phantoms at least.
also for i/Ls they may still complain about the paralyse skill, at elast the frozen orbs is great than before but maybe some will complain about the skill with no damage
i don’t know if they uped most of the ranges of marksman class but it’s/it’ll be really good to our especialized skill.
but for snipe i liked it the only bad thing is not variability that can be better but it make sense, it’s a really OP skill so 1 hit do it less and same way more op(with hyper) this thing i liked in the uptate(kmst ver.1.2.480) and the new ”puppet” got it cool down removed, it will be really useful now 😀
well if you see the steal skill now make more sense like how it was, it STEAL stuff
I/L don’t really have much to complain about anymore, but people are silly like that.
but i think i’m complainning for the wrong things here O.o f6
Bro, I feel you. I complained as well. Go up a few post and you’ll see that I named all the revamps that Adventurers get revamped.
It isn’t “fair” that we are always the last one updated. The later we get revamped, the worse the outcome.
And I agree with you. All the skills are just remade with all the old skills from Justice patch. As always, a half-assed job for Pirate and Thief update…
These KMS players better complain so much, that Nexon has no other choice but to actually “revamp” the jobs…
I don’t like NL’s Specialized Skill… It is dumb as hell. The Warriors, Mages, and Archers actually got very unique skills and our’s is just a Final Attack?
Despite all that you say, Shads were probably the only Basic Adventurer class that was good enough to keep up with the “newer” classes (mostly…) and as such didn’t need that big of a difference when they were “revamped”. Same goes for Buccs which is why Sairs got the bigger change in comparison. While some of it is disappointing (I miss Assaulter too), you’re basically whining about how Shads aren’t better than everyone else. No offense but you’re being a little harsh here. This is coming from a Shad-user as well.
I really wonder if they are listening to the players, if they are, who are the dumbass players they are listening too. If the Korean players want this, they’re drop dead retarded.
They can only listen to the players once the change something. Look at what happened with Paladins; the revamp hit and was awful, and now they are getting well-deserved buffs left and right.
I’d say just wait a week and see what gets changed next. It IS a test server update, after all.
Pretty sure they release what they have, then change it later through feedback. It’s more of a survey to see if the community likes it or not. I’m sure there will be changes next week again.
dafuq is octopush? it’s official, all classes are getting flash jump.
ye =D IM NOT GOING TO BE A SLOW ASS BUCC ANYMORE….(way to conform eh?)
Check my thread on Basil in the NL section for your answer.
I was wondering by how much Hero’s Raging Blow’s damage was decreased while used with Enrage?
YES Mah lovely Shadowers are getting crit rates. I’m quite upset that there’s NO SKILL CHANGES for us, except for slight boosts in damage and the gigantic nerf on assasination… 😦
Shadowers already have a good critical rate. We can easily get 80% crits. I wanted them to make a beefed up Shadower’s Instinct to be our specialized skill, but instead they gave a pretty useless skill.
And here I thought Shadower’s Specialized skill was related to mesos…
They never had crit rate OMG what r u talking about 😐 no skill upped it at all and it was stuck at 5…
Flip The Coin.
dun forget the coin buff, thats 50% crit chance from there, nt to mention if u train phantom there is another 10% crit(15% for lvl 2)…. if u are old player, there is the ring, which add in another 10% total of 75%… 80% with lvl 2 phantom link…..
oh yeah haha. but the flip the coin’s only at 150… but yeah true. Sorry XD but Shadower’s Instrict is already quite good isn’t it. That’s 50 attack from there right off the bat!
Lmao, no transformations for buccs. I am predicting no boat for sairs. it is just an attack animation.
There was a video on youtube that confirmed its only an animation for the corsairs attack.
i like how they made the rangers color scheme red. hurricane looks awesome!. but i do wish they would buff quiver cartridge. arrow platter is like a turret, thats cool
I LOVE those blunt animations. Especially when I was just complaining about how there were only sword ones. And I like how they changed the colour schemes according to the class.
I hope they release the Cannoneer skills soon, really wanna see what they will be like.
Yeah Paladin got Buffed so hard again!
What kinda revamp is this…. This is just awful good job nexon once again you screw over pirates and thieves -_______-
Two weeks until the actual release to the official servers. There’s still time to fix these up.
lets give thieves triple flash jump, with a choice of jumping up
Yeah, why the fuck are bowmens more mobile than theives?!
thieves and pirates revamp is so half-assed.
lol lucky number 7
pshhhhh
Bowmen are supposed to be more mobile than thieves.
Bowmen move quickly, thieves move silently. :U
suppose to be, but no, sadly….see no hope in bowmen….
lol wut? bowmen are looking awesome, what are you on? :U
lucky number 7 go!
Guys I see 2 options here.
1: They want to release an update every week and that’s as far as they’ve come in this period.
2: Since its 2 weeks and a half for the official update, they wanted to see if people will accept this, because they also have cannonneers and dual blades on their hands.
Looking on Warriors, Magicians and Archers ( especially that sweet sweet blunt aniamtions ) I’d go with #2. Doesn’t matter if you are Korean or Eskimo, you can clearly see the changes made in comparison to Pirates and Thieves. That being said, I do like Taunt.
So dissapointed with this.
Fucking disappointed.
Taunt/Showdown Challenge doesn’t work with Shadow Partner. That’s terrible, Nexon.
It’s supposed to be a 4th job mobbing skill replacing Shade Split, but without the Reinforce on it, it’s simply weaker than Shade Split.
Currently the new Shade Split is 1724% damage per second to 1 target with SP, and the new Taunt with Reinforce is 1978% damage per second to 1 target WITHOUT SP.
Pretty sure Showdown isn’t supposed to replace ShadeSplit.
The idea is that you cast it on a new batch of enemies, and then ShadeSplit them to death – much like the original Taunt.
The only difference is that this one has better speed/range/damage. And possibly allows you to cast it as the killing blow with all the benefits, like DemonCry.
Not really. They shifted the passive Hyper Skills from Shade Split to Taunt. If they wanted us to use Shade Split as our primary mob, they could’ve just switched the Purge Area Hyper Skills with Taunt.
Like I noted in my previous post, Shade Split is stronger than Taunt at the moment because SP doesn’t work on Taunt, but if you add the Reinforce to Taunt, Shade Split is weaker even without making SP affect Taunt.
Lucky number 7….. how able replace the 1st ablity
Shitvamp is shitty. Max should’ve ended the post at Marksman and left it at that.
Once again, thieves and pirates get the shit covered end of the revamp stick. It happened with Justice, and it’s happening again. Every other class gets awesome new skills, playstyles and utility, while thieves and pirates get lolnumbers, a few new animations and one or two new skills to make them suck slightly less. The classes that used to be cool and edgy have become perpetual butt monkeys for years. Maybe Doubles and Monkeys will get some real improvements, but it’s not likely if this is Nexon’s idea of a thief/pirate revamp. They’re not even trying anymore. Night Walkers and Mechs didn’t even get their well deserved revamp at all. It seems Nexon is hell bent on making sure thief and pirate characters become nothing more than a minority niche due to their chronic impracticality and the mind numbing boredom one suffers from while playing them.
At least players can still choose any of the awesome warriors, archers and mages that actually got really real revamps.
Hey. I just met you, and this is crazy, this is only test server, so chill out maybe?
Made my day. xD
L>On Itunes, plx!!@@@
bow master can use hurricane while putting the arrow platter on the ground isit?? if thats the case. thank god that bm is improved
OK am I the only one that thinks they should either let us use the Transformation Skill again for Buccaneers, OR TAKE THAT CRAP OUT ENTIRELY.
I HATE the “he fights along side of you” crap. Buccaneer would be better without it honestly. Just get rid of these damn summoned transformation buddy skills and remake it without.
You know what Nexon should do, when you have your energy fully charged they should let you Transform during the brief period of time you are fully charged. I liked the old Transformation skill, and combining energy charge and transformation will make me happy.
Energy Blast and Energy Buster should be skill key, hold down, chargeable for more damage just like the original Screw Punch used to be.
Why have Dash AT ALL if you are giving the skill Octopush? They would be better off turning Dash into a Martial Arts Mastery skill instead. NO ONE WILL EVER USE DASH WHEN THEY HAVE A FLASH JUMP SKILL.
I understand that Nexon wants Buccaneers to be “Pirates” but IT ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN. Buccaneers are DRAGON BALL Z KNOCK OFFS, and NOTHING you do will make it otherwise. There were Goku and Vegeta Cash Shop items released when Pirates first came out just in-case you didn’t notice the similarities. So it makes no sense to force Buccaneers to act like Corsairs or Cannoneers. Buccaneers should have a “Energypush” or something to differentiate their class. Corsairs should have the “Octopush” and Cannoneers should get a “Barrelpush” or something similar. I can understand giving Octopush to Corsairs or Cannoneers but not Buccaneers.
Energy Charge Colors should be White > Blue > Red > Then Purple last. Mastery colors people, MASTER COLORS.
Just get rid of shock wave and give us a new skill, NO ONE USES SHOCK WAVE EVER. Or turn shock wave into the Kaiser’s Dragon Barrage technique.Dragon strike is also useless, it needs to be replaced.
Unity of power and just about ALL of the Buccaneers hyper skills are USELESS. I mean give us Goku’s Spirit Bomb for our Hyper Attack, OR SOMETHING BETTER THAN MOAR TRANSFORM BUDDY LAMENESS.
Lucky number 7 dice… honestly? I couldn’t give one fuck about +20% pdr. I guarantee NO ONE is looking for more Dice Skills.
I had high hopes, but I was let down. :[
Tell me your thoughts.
agreed. this whole thing is half-assed.
Yes very enlightening. Some of your concerns are relevant eg. dash, shockwave and lucky 7 (its funny that it doesnt make sense). I miss the old bucc especially demolition but im more concerned about sair and whether this Battle Bomber is a toggle mount or just a lame can’t-move-while-using instant skill.
I F*CKING KNOW RIGHT?! Again. Nexon f*cked up with Buccs. They just don’t know what the hell to do about it. I had skyrocketing hopes to finally receive good and new changes, BUT NO. Nexon just won’t fking give us the old buccs back. Dammit =/
man i was happy with the dash able to rush 8 mobs, i really sucks only rushing 6 enimes being a malee class, and do you even play as a bucanners? i don’t thinks so you just want a pro look to play that calss, comon dice is really nice so having some bonus from it isn’t bad and you just say that power of unity is useless, man comon buccaners have a nice area skill like Kamehameha from DBZ also stop doing focus in DBZ, you can spawn that skill by 50% of the time so you just have pro area skills and you can take a larger area not like bucc blast . Also stop complainning about the old bucanners , may complain about the piercing arrow not being able to charg it’s a epic thing, but i don’t really care it will be really cool, and the bad is only 9% chance to work for dice 7 it may go to 19%? 9% is too low. Maybe Power of unity can be change but it isn’t useless. Also about the invenciblity skill you can use the 1 job one to have invencibility, bucanners was really bad before the revamp about defence compared to the other classes(before the justice one) but they still have a skill to be invencible.
also only suportive/defensive classes have invencible that’s not 4ever(like holy shield and the shield/hyper from paladins)
they can change more things, if you see corsair got more stuffs but they was really bad
completely agree. Add transform back!
isn’t hard to add transform but that’s all you complain?
i have never cared much for pirates but it bothers me that they can no longer transform… along with wind archers. The only two classes who posses the ability to transform any more are the novans. atleast wind archers hair turns green.
it is said to work, so snipe can have up to 3 hits.
4430% x3 to one monster
No cooldown
gg
why does phase dash only move 15 coins? it’s a good idea to be able to move coins, but only 15? cmon, Nexon! we all know coins are everywhere and just 15 isn’t good enough.
“Teleport Mastery: damage has been decreased from 340% to 272%, in order to activate Elemental Drain easier, a new effect of dealing 98% damage every 2 seconds for 4 seconds has been added”
So it doesn’t really have DoT? Just a dot-like effect (like Fire Aura dealing damage every ~2 seconds)? How would this increase Ele/Fervent drain if this isn’t true DoT? If Teleport mastery can affect ele drain that would mean Fire Aura also can?
Nah it actually does inflict DoT
That’s good to know 🙂 I would also hope that adding DoT to Teleport mastery would have affect Mist Eruption’s dot damage multiplier.
I just can’t say it enough, this revamp is half-assed. Thieves still have Dark Flare, a completely useless skill. lmfao.
Someone give me a link to send my complains to Nexon. This is the worst revamp I have ever seen. I even find Justice to be better than this shet.
I would make pally if they change back the monster attack of pally to about 4+ ….. why did they make that change…
Honestly, out of all the specialised skills, I find the Corsair’s one most disappointing. I personally think that Corsair’s crew thingy is seriously close to useless. They are just freaking summons, the thing about absorbing statuses might be cool though. But still, take a look at other job’s specialised skill and then take a look at corsair’s, their specialised skills affects and changes the playstyle of the job or enhances it. As compared to corsair’s summon, I doubt the summons would change the playstyle in ANY way. It kinda feels like Nexon just got lazy and gave up on thinking of a new concept for corsairs. Anyway, waiting to see what they’ll do in the next 2 weeks, seriously hope that they’d change corsair’s specialised skill.
We already got our play style changed a complete overhaul..
This makes us a more summon based class. But could definitely use a few tweaks here and there.
I actually thing the summons absorbing and disappearing is a huge nerf.
The extra damage boost is HUGE. To have that go away every time a stupid blindness/lock/whatever that you can just all-cure in .05 seconds is stupid. Given the 120 second cooldown something like a HT run means you’re waiting a good 100 seconds before you can buff again since he’s always doing something petty and harmless to you every handful of seconds.
It only gets used up on really bad statuses like seduce/stun/etc.
Pretty sure I’m first.
If that battleship doesn’t turn around while moving, then that’s a pretty sweet skill.
Cool we got a huge revamp…. Now surprise us with the Final Archer slot ….. and let it be a Bard!
Hey Max, isn’t it KMST 1.2.480 lol :P.
Lol yea i thought so too.
:$
YOU SAW NOTHING
What the fuck is this shit.
” Smokescreen: new effect of decreasing damage taken by 10% has been added”
Isn’t this retardedly redundant..? 10% less damage while in cloud of INVINCIBILITY?
I thought the same
Good lord, what if they got rid of that feature in Smokescreen?
My bad, I think the skill gives you a buff, increasing your HP by 10% of the damage that you would have taken (but avoided through Smokescreen).
Think that’s a passive.
Showdown Challenge requires lvl 10 Fake, what is this “Fake”?
That’d be Shadow Shifter. Same as the regular Taunt IIRC.
So let me get this straight: You can use “Quick Draw” to do bonus damage with a musket?
I’m trying to imagine how doing a quick-draw shot in real like would look.
Does anyone know what skills phantom can steal from DB’s cause a phantom with mirror image or final blow would be so op. XD
How much do Empathy and Insight increase Buff Duration and Element Ignore by now?
Viper got revamped? WHAT VIPER REVAMP?
Then…..
Arrow plater is now just like a summon? Cause Hurricane damage was updated higher than platter, so that skill now just helps to deal more damage itself? I would love to get hurricane back.
I dont see so much improvemente onto night lords honestly. And they seem to need a way to deal more hits. I dont know a lot about thiefs (except DB)
Aaaaand snipe got nerfed. Nooooo even if damage cape is increase. 50m per 9 its 450m per shoot and now you telling me is just 200m 1 time? Terrible in my opinion. Or is there another skill supposed to replace it? Maybe if they still have that hyper wich adds 1 hit to snipe….
Why not doing back to just, charge, be full charged for a time then back to normal? I dont get how is that about skills consuming energy?
I am still wondering how gunslinger became less squishy with this update. And i laughed so hard about the cape…
I hope they does more changes. Cause pirates and thiefs didnt seem to get significant changes.
You can choose to use arrow platter on its own, or you can set it down and start attacking otherwise. it’s not really a summon but similar. It’s just what it is. They buffed Hurricane.
Snipe got huge buff, because you get skills to add 2 more hits to it. that’s huge damage, effectivly 3x the damage from before.
Just wait, more changes to come.
You should have known not all Maplers are crazy-ass to reach 50m cap for snipe? Seriously if the hyper do increase the attack count by 1, it would totally surpasses the current snipe,
Sigh to Maplers, decision before observing
If you take crossbowman Damage Formula and Critical Formula into calculation, 1 hit 100% critical with Sharp Eyes and Bullseye
Damage Formula ( Source > ayumilove.wordpress.com )
Crossbow – [(DEX * 3.6 + STR) / 100] * Weapon Attack
Min : Crossbow = (DEX * 0.9 * 3.6 * Skill Mastery + STR) / 100 * Weapon Attack
With critical multiplier of 1.35 ( Does not include SE, Bullseyes, Mastery Bonuses and Def Ignore )
But I still hope that they will remove Hyper ( Bullseye ) Cooldown though
We don’t really know what happens until they test it in the test server, like Battle Mage, the revamp was cool until we force GM’s to revert it back to how it was ( Having different staff swinging and attacks are amazing, they won’t make you bored of just same animations all the way ) Still we force GM’s to revert it
* Strong or not, just play. We play to enjoy, not ending the game with 1 hit *
Gentlemen I think we can all agree to these two words im about to type that describes this Theif/Pirate revamp.
Fucking disappointed.
They fixed bowmasters 😀
Hurricane looks sick now.
Wonder when the Cannoneer and DB revamp will drop then.
GG Phantom
*looks at the axe animation for RB*
bipennis with a long pole? me gusta
use that axe for other skills as well
lol.. Corsairs are still weak.. they barely improved us at all.
rapid fire stay the same the 70% final attack sucky skill remain the same.. 8legs same damage same amount of hits. all classes got like 90% damage dress while corsair stick with the worthless 15% from the hyper skill .. our hyper skills are totally worthless. .. and im hell pissed that the 70% damage final attack wasnt touched archers final attack now is also like 100% active and does over 200% damage .. 70% damage for final attack is a joke. nexon sure as hell hates pirates
Doesn’t seems like a patch that will meet the expectations for NLs.
1. Aren’t thieves suppose to be the fastest moving classes or something? Shouldn’t FJ be tweaked in someway similar to the archers as well? Our mobility pales in comparison with some other classes. And Dark Sight got slightly buffed, though I doubt I will use it more often.
2. Mark of Assassin/NL just seems like a rip-off with minor changes from Phantom’s Carte Blanc/Noire from the youtube videos I have seen. And will Wind Talisman ever work on boss mobs? We are like, one of the only class that can’t rush/push a boss to a corner.
3. Shade Split got nerfed in terms of % compared to before the revamps with hypers. Dark Flare remains as useless as ever. Does the debuff from Showdown Challenge includes anything else? Or just the EXP and Drop Rate increase? Does Purge Area stacks with Paladin’s Threaten? Because if it doesn’t, it is pretty useless in major bosses IMO.
Well so far, the damage boost given is still okay, but not as great as what we hoped it to be compared to the previous patches. Survivability issues are still not addressed. I seriously hope that the delays from the new animations are not as long. It irks me in Cygnus that I’m halfway rebuffing myself when a Dark Genesis strikes, and I can’t even WALK away because I’m halfway through the animation.
To me, it seems like Nexon is running out of ideas, or they just can’t be bothered with us anymore. This revamp is crap compared to the complete overhaul for the previous jobs. Quite disappointed that I’m not even gonna read the shadowers or pirates one for fear of more disappointment. Just hoping for the next part of the revamp to improve things.
Thieves and archers are both the most mobile. Thieves get double flash jump.
If you start comparing things, you can relate almost anything to anything. It’s just what it is, calling it a rip-off is just silly.
The revamp isn’t done yet, there’s still hope for those things.
Just the EXP/Drop rate increase.
If they were out of ideas, we wouldn’t be having this in the first place.
Revamp isn’t done yet. other revamps started off crap and got better.
It’s not done yet.
Oh Max, is it possible to put Arrow platter down and then use hurricane?
Yes!
Marksmen just got nerfed, what some more can I say??!! I was hoping that they will make it stronger but it turned out the other way!! SO DISAPPOINTED WITH MARKSMEN’S “REVAMP”, should call it nerfing….
Not exactly. From what I’ve seen from a video…Marksmen can hit 3 hits (additional bolt + Hyper skill extra hit). Because of the damage cap increase, marksmen will be able to hit 200mil. That’s a total of 600mil damage, compared to 50mil per hit (9 hits = 450mil). I see that as a buff.
are you sure with that? i want to see the video also. However, comparing with other jobs, crossbow master is still noob at mobbing. Piercing dmg 1400% only and only att 6 mobs!! Other job’s skills have way higher dmg % than piercing lo, why cant they increase the dmg of piercing more?? Crossbow master is going extinct……
This video shows both Piercing and Sniping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSJ1svqE9as
At least the way I see it, Marksmen weren’t really meant to be a mobbing class. They’re more 1 vs 1, and utilize very powerful single attack skills. We don’t have very many situations where mobbing more than 6 monsters is necessary either. It wouldn’t really make a big difference other than gaining X amount of experience quicker (e.g. getting that level 5 minutes quicker or something).
well, i think you are right, but i hope they are stronger at mobbing too lo, mobbing very important….
Meh…captain doesnt get back his ship…
So Taunt’s effect was reduced by 10% and stopped working on bosses then the graphics got changed and the 10% that was removed was reintroduced as a Hyper skill and once again affects bosses.
After so many years all they did with Taunt was break it, reduce it’s effect then add what they took out as a Hyper Skill besides the rest of the NL changes that was a cheap one imo.
You all can complain about thief and pirate’s revamp not good enough, but know this: some jobs’ revamp are way worse!! Just like marksmen’s skill changes, making it even more useless and noob now, in other words, that is worthless “revamp”!!! I believe it is obvious that some jobs are pro even before the revamp like thieves and some jobs are way behind the TOP JOBS even after this so called “revamp”!! So far, I can conclude that these changes are useless and it FAIL TO BALANCE THE DIFFERENCE IN POWER BETWEEN THE JOBS, instead, it just made some jobs even worse and buff some of the adventurers, increasing the gap! This is what they call revamp for explorers??! IF SO I AM TRUELY SPEECHLESS AND DISAPPOINTED!!! It sucks to the fullest!!!
From your post, 1. I doubt you had played a nl before, and 2. I doubt you can count. Why not take a look at the explanations and calculations for MMs provided by some of the people here first?
If your idea of job balancing and revamp is to have your job to be the strongest among all the others, may I recommend that you sign up to be a GM – you can get to hit all the cap you want.
Watch out we’ve got a badass over here.
Are you just that one person about MM getting a crappy revamp because it didn’t become an OP class and didn’t give you everything you wanted; to become the ultimate class? Quit crying out your ass, the Pirate/Thief “revamp” barely touched on anything, barely added anything new, and was basically a tweak versus what you got.
you say archer’s changes a lot, got new skills, but whats the point of getting new skills if it sucks compared to the old ones? and for your info, marksmen didnt get any useful new attacking skills!! Instead, many of their skills got removed and replaced with some useless skills like bolt rupture (no use after 4th job) you know??!! Would you like it that way?! Moreover, marksmen DONT EVEN HAVE A SINGLE HUGE AOE SKILL!!! Even its hyper skill is so useless!!! 4000% 1 hit, 12 mobs, 30 sec CD and ONLY HIT PART OF THE AREA IN FRONT, far more useless from others’ hyper!!! Now they dont even have a elemental skill as blizzard shot was removed while bow master still have their flame shots, and the only AOE skill they had, arrow eruption was also removed!! Not to mention that they dont have ultimate strafe or even strafe anymore and snipe is not spammable until lvl198, may i ask you whats the best skill they can use against a single target like bosses, piercing??! Not pitiful enough?!! You think that more new skills and changes means better, stronger, buff??! If so you are totally wrong! The reason to have changes is because they are WEAK, the changes ARE SUPPOSE TO MAKE THEM STRONGER!! As i can see, pirates and thieves are way better with their buffed old skills compared to the new skills archers have, DO SOME CALCULATION AND COMPARISON PLEASE!! It is obvious that archers are always one of the weak classes, hard to compete with other strong jobs!!
Archers are looking awesome. If they need any more power, they’ll get it in future updates. If you still don’t like it go throw your computer out the window because that’ll serve as much point as your current whining.
Calculations and comparison? Apparently you haven’t been reading those done by others here. Archers have always been a weak class? After reading your post, I definitely knows what the Marksman job needs. A new player other than you, because apparently your control sucks, and that makes your archer sucks.
Please take a better look at other classes’ revamps before complaining. You know what I think archers/marksmen need? Less jerk players who do nothing but complain about their own inability to control their characters, like you.
everyone have their own point of view….archer need much control? just pressing 1 button to attack… =.=” what do you need to control when you are against a single enemy, which is what marksman best against? basically just press sniping, if not piercing is snipe cant be spamed, control what tell me? damage matters here lo….
so….. does that mean that bucc’s fist enrage isnt spammable anymore since it uses your energy?
Worst thing that will ever happen to MS if it comes to GMS is the Free Advancement system. So you just make the easiest to level of every branch, warrior, magician, etc. Basically only needing 5 characters that are able to daily switch to another class in their branch. SO hey today I’m a Paladin tomorrow I’m a Hero everyone is going to love that. No need to make all of those characters anymore. Worst idea ever…..
except that it’s expensive to do that, and you lose out on the experience, and people will still have faith to their favorite class? some people may take advantage of it, some may just say:
“My paladin is a paladin, I don’t care if people think ____ is better, I love my paladin.” and stick with their stuff.
There may be people who take that sort of stuff for granted, probably the same kind of people that won’t play for very long anyways.
Night Lords are still shitty, whats new? They didnt change anything. Just gave them basically 1 new specialized move? What about make Quad throw mob..
To all those who keep spamming snipe was nerfed plz remember they have not only a hyper to increase its hits to 2 but also a 4th job skill adding another line to it also so its actually 3 lines
Now for some math
(New snipe 4410% x 3=13230%) vs (old snipe 490%x11=5390%)
600 mil total damage if all caps vs 550 mil if all caps
so tell me wheres the nerf >.>
Xbm Snipe-Hyper can stack wif 4th job one? guarenteed?
a link showing a screen of snipe working with additional bolt cause of hyper skill additional hit cause 3 hit snipe
Ok, thanks for the info, this calms me down….but they are still far from top classes…..see their mobbing, piercing only 1400% and only hit 6 mobs, the speed also not as fast….. And I dont see the point of giving them critical rate more than 100%…..40%(critical shot) + 5%(base critical rate) + 40%(distance) + 25%(SE) + 20%(bulls eye) + 5%(character card) = 135% critical rate, what for?? they should increase the critical dmg more!!
First of all I’ll be explaining this , no , now some skills consume energy but the amount of energy you generate with energy charge will be more than enough to keep generating energy while you’re not fully charged , this means after a dragon strike you will be able to start spamming laser right away ( although I don’t know how much weaker will be until fully charged)
People who bash the bucc revamp at least are idiots , do you even play bucc? what you want it to become , a new op class that gets nerfed in 0.2 sec? we only had 1 fking problem M O B I L I T Y , I know it’s lame to get it fixed with a skill everyone gets but IT GOT FIXED , and also our rush combo skills can be spammed like mad without comboing them… more mobility.
We have a really good 1 vs 1 , the best 1 vs many imo ( and when fully charged it’s going to be EVEN BETTER) , and a handful of buffs to boost our damage range greatly , what more do you need?
All skills got a damage increase AND a bigger increase when energy is fully charged , we got a 20 extra atk in energy charge , different animations with energy charged for skills , the energy system WILL BE MORE EFFICIENT , as in now your attacks will use energy it will not just get removed after 60 sec , you’ll have to empty the bar
And lastly UoP got USEFUL now by changing the good-for-funded max damage increase to a 10 % min and max critical damage, seriously WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR A BUCC? the problem here is that people deem a revamp useless or not compared the others , and since warriors and mages got more stuff now all the others got a useless revamp… keep dreaming , all peple who deem at LEAST bucc revamp uselees clearly don’t play the class , I do and i’m 193 in kms. so yeah
Everyone else got a playstyle which actually fits their style, we used to have that with transform.
Now we have an almost Angelic Buster-esque style, with charging up and all. I mean, we have fists. WHY USE LAZERS? WHY NOT BECOME A SUPER SAIYAN TO FIRE THAT LAZER, AND NOT FIRE IT OURSELVES? We’re supposed to be EXTRA CLOSE RANGE, but the lazers have the same range as other ranged classes.
thanks for clearing that up for me. However on the point of people complaining about the bucc revamp, I think its more from a character design point of view rather than the classic OMG MY CLASS SO WEAK PLZ BUFF. People really want to see the return of transform, and if not that, another option, not just summoning some dude to shoot the laser for you, i mean COME ON, that is such terrible character design, who wants to play a character who just summons some other guy to do the killing for you… IMO as an avid bucc player, I feel that it just doesnt suit the whole idea of beating people up with your powerful punches and devastating energy strikes (dragon strike)
Lol no stfu. MMs were always meant to it cap with their attacks, and now their cap is what? 500m? I don’t see why you’re complaining. Just. Shut up.
The revamp of Thieves and Pirates seems inferior than the amount of changes and buff compared to the previous 3 revamps =/
i see akali’s Q on NL and corki’s R on corsair ….LoL much
lol, sairs have always been corki,that is, until they lost their ship 😦
marksman’s snipe was nerfed for hardcore mm. Damage is same, though now put in one number not 9, which i approve. But capping it at 200m is a nerf, least in theory. 9x 50m = 450m. 1x 200m = 200m. speaks for itself. Also defense ignore reduced.
And that 200m damage cap seems to be Snipe only. Not all skills. So a nerf.
No lol its a buff go read up on previous comments.
thats the thing, they fail at calculation!!! snipe is the strongest skill for crossbow master, even without this NERF xbm is consider NOOB ENOUGH, and after this, it became worse!!! Job balancing??! BULLSHIT!!! Completely unfair and unbalance. Fail to serve its purpose
Yes! noobs! you’re all noobs! Nexon is ridiculous! Revamp is crap! Aliens are real! THEY’RE PUTTING NOOBS IN THE DRINKING WATER!!!
This is what you sound like 😀
Nice Nice Nice!
Mark of Assassin: [Night Lord’s Specialized Skill] When attacking monsters, there is a 100% chance to leave behind a Mark of the Assassin. Attacking enemies that are marked will cause them to explode.
Wait…so if im at an area where i can OHKO all the mobs, it means that this skill wun activate at all? And if purge area works on boss, we still need wait ~5sec for the mobs to get affected? All this is like changing skills just for the sake of changing lol
ikr LOL funded people wont get to use this skill
m
I don’t get you guys. First most of you didn’t like the new warrior, magician and archer reorganizations and you said that you want the old skills back. The thief and pirate revamp just got few new skills and they were actually pretty good to begin with, comparing to the other classes because the old warrior, magician and archers didn’t stand a chance against the other classes while thieves and pirates did. Now you hate it because it didn’t change too much and at the same time most of you hated warriors, magicians and archers because they changed them too much? Can you decide already you want big changes or keep the old skills? I actually like this adventures reorganization they needed this. These classes were boring and weak and don’t forget the 5th jobs they could get even better skills.
agree with you lo
I’m pretty sure it was more along the lines of “This sucks balls, the old was better”, not “This sucks balls, we want the old stuff”. Most was just saying the new stuff sucked balls and that the old was better, not that they didn’t want anything and wanted to stick with the old.

2 different groups of people complaining, not the same groups of guys…
theres always the antagonist and a protagonist
please tell me how night lords where good at surviving (not like they’re any better now lol) Either way I have to agree with you. They’re complaining a bit too much, I actually like the new looks of all the classes, they’re pretty nice, they don’t look a bit old fashioned like they were from 2007. But you have to admit, buccaneer’s did need that mobility increase, otherwise they were pretty much fine the way they were. I just don’t like the fact that now they changed them, they only really did it half cooked :/. But whatever just going to have to deal with it, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE NEEDS TO. O mean you gotta understand that if they’re going to change the looks of skills, atleast complete it. I think that’s why people were dissapointed with pirates and thieves. I think from this update I might actually try to make a bowmaster now.
There’s a lot of people who are selfish and hate change, who want everything to be the same.
They’ll never get their way because the game has to change.
There’s a lot of people who are selfish and don’t think change is ever good enough.
They’ll never be happy because they want all the changes at once and everything to be made perfect over the course of one night, or they want their class to have the best changes and the best everything and everyone else to be weak as hell.
And then there are the intelligent people who go, “You know what, I like this, I didn’t like this, I hope they change it, but I’ll live either way, I’m just going to keep a positive outlook.” and don’t let things get to them.
I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. F*** THIS. THIEVES AND PIRATES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN AND NEVER CHANGE AGAIN, THEY SCREWED UP SO BADLY, THEY DIDN’T GET ANYTHING NEW AT ALL AND MADE EVERYTHING SUCKY AUUUUUGH *frothgrowl*
QUICK. DELETE MAPLESTORY AND THROW YOUR COMPUTER OUT YOUR WINDOW, IT’S ALL GOING TO HELL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
then explain Kaiser.
and while you’re at it, explain AB.
sorry 2 times my computer was flipping
I am quite pleased with the Shadower revamp. Savage Blow seems to be very fast. It fits perfectly in between between B. Step, which is very good for generating coins for Meso Explosion. Steal isn’t as useless as it was before and it makes bandits truly bandits by allowing them to be able to steal healing potions. Phase Dash’s ability to move coins is amazing because you won’t have to deal with random coins in the middle of maps anymore; you can rush mobs to one side and explode the coins in front of you. Removal of speed reduction and being able to use FJ while in Dark Sight are very nice additions. My only complaints are the ugly animations of SB and Assassinate, the fact that the useless skill, Dark Flare, is still there, and how some skills are barely touched at all. Midnight Carnival could really use less delay so that the B. Step/ MC combo would run smoother.
Oh my good lord thank you so much for this.
I don’t care of people may disagree or whatever, but this.
Well thought out opinion, no raging, no screaming of “F U NEXON” or “time to quit my ____” or “CLASS X SUCKs MORE THAN CLASS Y NOW”.
just… thank you.
they should chg the hero skills colour to blue or some unique colour , hero should be non-element but all those red/fire animation
dark = dark knight
holy = paladin
neutral = hero
not a bad idea.
i like the previous colour of the tiger shout too,or mayb chg to a White Tiger animation,definitely not all in red/fire.
the fire is like a symbol of burning rage. heroes’s skills are all about anger (Enrage, Raging Blow, Shout.)
That sounds more like a berserker…
blind fury is more fitting for berserkers. I don’t think berserker is a fitting title for a spearman anyway.
agreed.
the new raging blow enrage are just like a kaiser skill,
more alike when both holding 2h sword.
just change the colour different from kaiser-alike or paladins blast animation.
so does cannoner also get buff later on?
i want my transform back…….. or at least allow us to activate it as a passive instead of turning into the energy man. Like allow it to be passive allowing us to be our own character or you have a choice to use the transform animation on your character. I remember my good times having those skills bawsing out with it having much more fun than now.
o and same person here…… I think we get trans back at 5th since think of it we need some energy to show up as the trans guy, but we need even more energy to stay as the trans guy. There still may be hope left for trans. BUC/Viper ftw!
Want to make Assassins good? #1 give them Avenger at 2nd job.
Shuriken Burst? More like “Skill that i’m using only to get shadow partner in 3rd job-burst”
Is it so hard to make 4 to 8 stars fly in a rapid wave? Same for 3-6.
Other then that I’ll take it. Just AT LEAST new Quad Throw.
I seriously will find it depressing if 5th job pulls out Lucky Six or something as an upgrade . . .
I’d love to see
BACK SHOT
OCTOPUSH
BACKSHOT
OCTOPUSH
BACKSHOT
WINGSSSS
Screw Punch no longer pushes monsters back?! DAFUQ??
Max, for the NL changes, Expert Throwing Star Handling is supposed to give a passive 25% PDR boost. The damage boost to L7, Shuriken Burst, Wind Talisman, and TT has been removed, though. You might want to change your description for it.
Also, for the passive Hyper Skill of Taunt: Extra Target, it’s supposed to be 2 monsters and not 1 monster.
No its 25% damage
Fixed, thanks 🙂
Alright, thanks. I see it is actually 25% Damage now after looking at how the other PDR variables are like in the extraction.
what a joke, i love how EVERY class is now stronger than Mercedes… the balancing for Mercedes was freaking pathetic.. look at corsairs Fusillade, before it already had a huge advantage over Mercedes shity stunning strikes with fusillade doing 500% damage and stunning strikes doing 150%.. only stunning strikes had over that skill was its speed. Okay so now they decided to give fusillade another attack line and increase its speed.. are you serious?? how about revamping mercedes some more?? at least give her back her potentials before you fucking pre-release nerf. Give mercedes back her life leech and 3 fairy summons, at least then they would be SORTA on par with the fucking new/revamped classes
しない.
Fuck Mercedes, fuck all the new classes. Quit QQing bout shit classes.
Hi Max, is the shadower’s assassinate really only 1.5x using the five orbs? Shouldn’t it be 2.5( like it is now)? Also is the last hit automatic or preservable since you have 2 different animations…?
1.5x is what the description says. And I think its automatic, it’s just like a ‘secondary part’ to the skill.
Ok thanks!
LOL wtf, if marksman’s snipe is 4k% then why they remove ultim strafe.. we got no bossing skill unless nexon trying to tell us to boss with pericing arrow o_o
4k% on one enemy*
No charging Percing Arrow.
4,000% damage Snipe.
Don’t get greedy.
so max, you mean to say they made it so that you cannot cancel the last hit (that’s always crit) on Assassinate?
I actually don’t know… I have no idea how Assassinate works at all so it might be cancel-able… maybe if I can find a video or something you can clarify for me LOL
http://en.channel.pandora.tv/channel/video.ptv?ch_userid=cige16&prgid=48378276&categid=2955770&page=1
From here it looks like you can choose to do the last hit or not?
Does anyone know if there will be additional changes made to Cannoneers and DB’s in the rest of RED? Or is this the only ” special treatment ” that the aforementioned classes will receive?
Almost all of the classes have a flash jump and a rush skill, thief’s aren’t unique anymore.plus there was no changes for shadower besides a couple of new skills ever since justice, chief bandit had become the most boring class: its basically just charging forward and slashing that’s all.Plus none of vipers skills are pirate like, nexon just got inspired by dragon ball z with all the lasers and dragons
Lame…. How can you roll a 7 that makes no sense at all! what a disappointment we all had high expectations especially after seeing the revamp for cygnus knights
Seven sided dice.
Marksman Master Race
How do you feel about the changes Max? The hurricane looks amazing now and you have a turret now haha and marksman are too much. 490 x 11 (hyper extra hit & the skill increasing the hits of skills with more than one hit) its way less than 4410 x 3 (same thing) its a 7250% damage increase.. wow. I think they will change their hyper skill since this skill can do 600m and 13230% while the hyper skill does 4000% and only 100m
No. The Additional Bolt skill for Marksman only applies to skills that hit more than once. Which means Snipe is unaffected and they practically make that skill(Additional bolt) kinda sucks as that skill only affect Net Throwing and Piercing Arrow, and other skills only hit once. But the one hit boost hyper skill is a boost to us……
skills that hit more than once… hyper skill adds another hit, therefore it hits more than once.
yep. you can find a video about it.
can i have the link???? Thx. =D
The DBZ theme for Buccs is seriously annoying. DBZ is damn overrated and Nexon needs to remove the transformed spirit or make it look like something else.
DBZ is not overrated. It’s just not a good idea for Nexon to copy them.
but i liked trasformation/super transformation looked cool…still is
DBZ is very overrated — so much so that it has become a trope that defines one of the staples of Anime despite the fact that the franchise’s storyline is extremely linear, extremely fleshed out, and lacks true depth of character. As a person who grew up with DBZ, I can honestly say that DBZ has not aged gracefully at all.
I do agree that the ST theme is annoying and there should be a greater difference between Buccs and archetypes like Saiyans.
it does look a bit like something else. can you see that energy cape the energy man has? he is a super transformed spirit, like super man.
Nexon should just remove the retarded sprites fom buccs altogether, or give back the transformation altogether -__-
Why are marksman crying? boo-hoo cry some moar please
It’s too entertaining to watch. They got so much better with the previous changes, now what some consider a slight “nerf” and yall are crying. ha-ha XD
am I the only one that thinks savage blow is so fugly now? I don’t like the odd zigzagging slashes at all. is the weird cutting shape a symbol in Korean or something?
Max would you mind giving some details about the new delays on Arrow Blaster (Platter)? I looked at some of the original patch notes on South Perry and the variables aren’t labeled properly. Secondly, does the turret activate Adv Final Attack? Videos are confirming it does not activate Magic Arrows but it is hard to judge AFA.
Yea but they nerfed piercing arrow’s damage hardcore in the process so it’s the same dps. Whereas every other class got a huge damage increase. In the end Marksman really get nothing but we’re used to it, we’re the redheaded step child of Nexon. Instead of treated we get tricked and instead of kisses we get kicked.
All I’m hearing is “the fact is we are screwed and that is predetermined! we were never going to get buffed, this has been nothing!”
Well greedy boy let let tell you this: Due to their charging system of Piercing and slowliness due to not being mobile enough I quitted mine at LV13X.
Now you can throw a chain to go quicker then ever, jump to upper and lower platforms like a merc, AND, ANDDDDDDDD 4,000% SNIPE with the uniqueness of being the only lucky bastard to pull off 200,000,000 damage. And you cry over Piercing Arrow’s charge system deleted without buffing it? Did I even mention that Snipe loses its cooldown from LV155 Post Unlimited/Spark/Unleashed?! GET OUT OF MY FACE.
You can BOO and HOO all you want and give it a diplomatic sound but I’ll be purchasing 3 character slots when this patch arrives GMS, for a bowman, a marksman, and a paladin. And guess what? I can’t wait to spend the money.
*Applauds non-sarcastically*
And 1 other thing go look on the Thief and Pirate revamps and try to think real hard why you don’t put alot of attention to them, maybe that’s because they aren’t overhauls like what your marksman received.
Stop being a crybaby for getting a bit nerf….
There is some other class even worse than you since hyper skill…like merc and phantom
And in fact If you really think it’s a nerf instead of buff watch the video below….
there state we can put our arrow platter on the floor, but can we put on the floor and still use hurricane at the same time?
yeah we can. There are several videos up of being able to drop platter on the ground and firing another platter or hurricane.
Yes! 🙂
Damn, what is the unique of Cannon Shooters and Dual Blade now? phantom are OP now, zzzz
phantom op? nah, they recieved the buff they deserved
lol, Phantoms are still way underpowered, they still need their own revamp instead of leeching off adventurer revamps.
Phantom is disappointing, he should have his own revamp and mercedes too. It just sucks to be the weakest character…
Damn… Hero’s Enraged Raging Blow got nerfed big time. From an increase of when Enraged, it was 268% to 335%. Now it became 268% to 278%… While Dark Knight’s power got an even bigger buff of (443% + 110% of your HP) x 4 hits to (330% + 110% of your HP) x 8hits, with a reduced delay. Its totally unfair!
To be fair, Dark Knight deserved it more then Hero.
Wouldn’t you agree that the current GMS DK is underpowered, but the Hero with adv combo is the highest hitting warrior?
I rest my case.
I still hope they make them Dragon Knights in 5th job tho 🙂
Doesn’t matter if DrK deserves a buff more than Hero, they shouldn’t take a gigantic kick to the crotch for the sake of making them balanced with others. The Hero branch was always the best at 1v1 apparently, and what that took away is a LOT of 1v1 attack power, and that should not be.
And the Hero is SUPPOSED to be the highest hitting warrior (again, mostly 1v1).
But meh, they have to leave room for something come 5th job so I’ll wait for that.
I totally agree with that. No classes or jobs’s main purpose should ever be reduced for the sake of balancing. Hero for example, was always meant for 1v1 combat, it was never good in killing large groups of monsters and was never meant to be, but they shouldn’t be taking away the power of 1v1 combat just to balance out with Dark Knights or Paladins.
Dark Knights on the other hand, their main purpose was to kill extremely big groups of monsters from the start, and before these patches, Sacrifice was their most powerful 1v1 attack(despite using up some HP, but Dragon Wisdom was more than enough to make the HP stay at max most of the time). Dark Impale with the additional Instant Kill effect was enough to prove that Dark Knights are meant for killing large groups of monsters. Very good survivability. The deserve more applications which uses their HP(as in, consume HP).
Paladins… Enough said, warriors of ultimate defense. Best survivor out of all three warriors, not to mention self healing techniques. Can switch between bossing and killing large groups of monsters easily with Blast(1v1) and Charged Blows(multiple monsters), but was never better in bossing than Hero, and never better in killing groups of monsters than Dark Knights. Their Elemental attacks helps to increase damage somehow if the monster ever has its weakness… If they were to ever become offensive, it is only right that they trade in their defense to get higher damage.
you must have never played warriors, really.
Heroes and dark knights have always had X-mob skills mainly, aka brandish and dragon crusher (3), raging blow and dark impale (6). Heroes having >slightlyboth< in 1v1 and 1vlots (which was never supposed to happen) while keeping their defense to the sky. If trading some survivability in favour of power was fair, then all those whine-adins who started blowing after the first red update should just have shut up because that's exactly what they were receiving.
If you say hero should be better at 1v1 than dark knight, that's already arguable but I for one agree with that – that doesn't mean it has to take 3 drks to equal 1 hero though, which was the situation we got to buff after buff (to heroes). But the whole system of how the two jobs should work you said is some serious bullshit.
If you haven't noticed anyway, all the red updates are adjustments. What actually matters is the comparison to the pre-red, not to the previous red adjustment. Compared to the original situation, heroes got a buff in damage nonetheless, so the whole point is not even existent.
the system ate a part of my comment. I meant
“>slightly””both<"
…slightly higher damage was justified by drks having more hp thanks to hyper body, which anyway makes our health nowhere high enough to be efficiently used as a source of consumption – that is what demon avenger is studied for. If you really want us to use our hp for attacks, then you will have to wait for either hp to be considerably multiplied, or damage to be absurdely huge, else where’s the advantage that balances the constant loss of hp? That’s why sacrifice has always sucked and was good on trash mobs/bosses only, whereas on major bosses we could use it at our own risk, which is definitely not its supposed mechanics. Before you object, dragon wisdom was not enough to keep our hp up while sacrificing because the drain skill is too uneffective on a single hit skill. Anyway we had impale buffed to the point where it outdamaged sac even on 1v1 situations – which means it was godly as a mobbing skill but we severely lacked face-to-face ability, and obviously it was weaker than raging blow in all fronts. There goes your hp-usage system, and amazingly we find ourselves with a 3rd job skill that is completely pointless. How people think it was fair for heroes to double/triple our damage, I’ll never know. Also seeing as our survivability is not as legendary as what so many stupid people think, actually we don’t even have power guard, guess what.
And you should not even start talking about paladins for they received increasingly higher damage than us both…
Paladins went from 200% defense down to 25%, then back up to 200%. If you’ve never played a Pally then you don’t know how underwhelming they felt at high levels.
not really it changed from 335 to 294.8% i think its 10% + of the 278% not adding 10%. and you are forgetting that 268 to 335 its really a huge increased because 60%+ damage from the enrage its already a lot even if it makes your skills 1vs1.
They need to put the orginal Screw Punch back… it was fine before, now its crap
In this update, Paladin can use 2H-blunt weapon with secondary weapon?
I don’t think you are familiar with the concept of the secondary weapon system
I think they mean to ask while still getting the effects of Shield Mastery, which would be a yes.~
Are they gonna increase the FJ distance for NL/Shads? It doesn’t makes sense that our FJ is shorter compared to DBs/Phantoms.
Dude now DB is like NL/Shad + they all share the same animation + you can Tripple jump. Phantoms can jump once.
Oh, sorry. I must be undergoing STM -.-ll forgot what I read. Before this revamp, the DB’s purplish-black FJ always seems to be slightly further than the NLs/Shadowers light blue one.
Anyone know if the pot that gives 30 attack (the one you can steal from bosses with steal) stacks with everything?
Sixty attack and defense? That sounds a bit excessive for one set…though i suppose the 140 set does more
also now theres a use for raising empathy
Why is there a red , blue AND green flash jump effect for archers even though there are only two classes? Third adventurer bowman? 😮
Green is for the 1st job Archer
i dont think there will ever be a third adventurer archer…..archer has the least jobs….
Totally understood why the title has “d”
why why?
Because Nexon gets a failing grade for this revamp.
OOPS
Max wants the D?
OOOPS
Thanks Max!
whats with the d
OOOOPS
these guys should get rid of shout already. its horrible for mobbing, slow, low damage and the stun effect was never good. its like freezing but only works for 1 attack. also the animation still looks ugly. they should change it either. raging blow effect without enrage looks outdated. they should replace it with the enraged one and make the enraged one better. combo force shouldnt use a combo orb. incising is crap. panic is still decent nothing serius to say about it. hero needs to be a one colored class (like purple for dk) not a blue-pink-red class. a good mobbing skill needs to be added or at least change the raging blow range. i get that its a bossing class but we still need a good way to mob. and make it more flashy. xP. if thats how its gonna be 5th better make up for it.
Hmm, are there any other classes that haven’t been even balanced a little besides mechanics now?
Why are Mechanics the only class that is getting the mobility shaft right now?
I will be a good little conformist, just give me double jump. Mechanic Dash is fucking outdated
now that everyone and their mom has a flash jump skill.
Mages are still teleporting with swag.
remember arans doesnt have a fj too
what happened to marksmen’s ice theme?? Their only ice element skill, blizzard shot removed and replaced by the useless bolt rupture!! Moreover, they also lost their only AOE skill, arrow eruption and single target skill that can be spamed (snipe only spammable at lvl198… =.=”), ultimate strafe!! Now they dont even have a AOE skill anymore!! Even the hyper skill is useless…..I really hope they will get back the blizzard shot and change the hyper skill into a full map AOE skill like other job’s to be fair and replace the useless bolt rupture…..And the distance of double jump is really short that they cant even jump to a higher lane, consider useless….
Snipe is spammable at 155. Pierce is spammable at 100. Enough said.
when did the change happens? I dont remember seeing anything about snipe’s cooldown remove (hyper) at lvl 155….so it means the lvl requirement to up the hyper skill decreased to 155? which patch is it in??
The current one.
didnt see it anywhere leh….
FROZEN ORB IGNORES DR
THIS IS AWESOME
With regards to Paladin’s skill animation change:
I’m confused, there are two types of effects when you charged, one of that is for blunt weapon, the other is sword. does it mean it changes accordingly match to the weapon that you’re equip with??
obviously
No, if you have a sword you still have that blunt weapon effect ,or so I was told
Oh my god yay ❤ old pirate skills return 😀 *Makes a pirate AGAIN*
You maplestory players complain way too much. If you dont like the changes nexon made to there game feel free to uninstall and find entertainment elsewhere. I wish nexon wouldn’t change the game following the usa players feedback because this game would lose the rpg aspects of the game because you players think that every class is supposed to be just as strong as each other. mmorpg means massively multiplayer online ROLE playing game, just a reminder if you guys forgot what that means.
you’re dumb. game companies that don’t listen to their players are setting themselves up for failure. just a reminder, the developers are trying to please their customers for their own benefits, not themselves.
ya lor, a good game should prioritize the players and listen to their oppinion
You’re hillarious 🙂
If YOU dont like the fact this company finally decided to be smart and listen to players you can leave YOURSELF. Unbalanced gaming ain’t fun at all,It makes other classes ditched and whoever chose them when they were strong left with weak damage while new players that havent put a shit of effort into the game beat them,what’s fair at that?live with it ,balanced classes = fun ,classes should be a matter of taste,not dmaage.
totally agree, nothing is better than balance job system in maple~ 🙂
Off topic here, but I need to know. You know how in the Unlimited/Unleashed patch all circulators for inner abilities changed to a single pink “Ability Circulator”. Well GMS got that patch recently and I noticed that my main got stuck with a legendary ability and those circulators won’t work because they can only reset up to unique….so besides the “up coming” cash shop version of circulators that can reset legendary ability, is there anything we are able to do? Besides wasting our NX?
nope only nx , I’m not interested in changing tho since I had an s rank ability before the patch tho thanks to a s rank circulator from hot time and guess what , it is 30 atk ability 😛
Does anyone know how much NX the Cash Shop circulator to reset legendary would cost? Or the NX price currently in KMS?
In MapleSEA, which got this change in Inner Abilities a few weeks ago, one circulator costs 2700 NX. However you have to take into account that MapleSEA cash shop prices are over inflated.
Sorry, I forgot to mention, is the circulator in the cash shop able to reset from “Legendary” to a lower tier? Or is there another circulator that can do that? Because in GMS at the moment we have cash shop circulators that are only able to reset “Legendary” tier but not able to bring it back down. Therefore, permanently stuck with NX circulators that are 1900 NX each.
Double Spiral always pushed. However, chaining it with Corkscrew used to cut the delay on both for mobile chained rushing. Also, since Corkscrew could be used in the air, it allowed for grappling to ledges with mobs on them. The problem is that now Corkscrew doesn’t rush, and Double Spiral has a delay, and is as spammy a rush skill as a Warrior’s rush, which is bad. Have you never played a Bucc before?
Are you sure about double spiral having a delay? I have seen videos of vipers rushing mobs through the map fast. it seems they have reduced the delay by a lot.
Compare the KMST video you saw of Double Spiral’s usage to the current usage of CSB+Double Spiral and you’ll see what I mean. But it doesn’t matter, after looking over the notes on SP, they’ve increased the range of Double Spiral, so I’m happy now lol.
DK got an insane buff… totally unfair to the other jobs.
I agree! I saw a couple of videos and holy hell! They are stronger than release Xenon!
I think Warriors/Archers are now at the top. Mages still suck….and this revamp just proves that Nexon can’t balance for shet. lol
I don’t see much balancing here actually… Its more of buffing up one job alot and nerf others, then nerf that job and buff another job, and each job takes turns to be OP as times go by.
By the way, the animations looks damn awesome! Love them!
Well so far DKs has been one of the weakest classes,its their turn to shine…I believe they’ll nerf those skills for a little soon when they’ll notice it.You see how each patch right now nerfes some and buffs some,they are really trying to balance everyone.
they may be trying to balance every job, but trying and making it happen is different, hope they really achieve the balance lo
So phantom can steal Dual Blades and Cannoners skill:D
When you’re looking at it this way it means phantoms also got buffed in this patch lol.
Well either way each explorers buff means phantom buff because hes dependant on them.
Somebody please tell nexon to let Phantom steal Summon skills like SHADOW PARTNER!! How ironic i feel phantom is THE WEAKEST thief and yet its a “Hero class”
I would love Final Cut too =D
Question about Bishop’s Angel Ray. So now Vengeance of the Angel no longer adds 20% skill damage and PDR, reduces Mobbing from 6 to 1 but still gives us 50 MA and 1 Attack Speed with 4 additional Lines?
Take that NLs MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA Remember all those years you trampled on and oppressed us archers? It’s pay-fucking-back time now! Suck on it bitches!
Hey Max! Regarding Free Advancement system, if I’m a phantom, will I be able to change jobs too? Or does it only works for explorers?
Phantom is not adventurer….
Only adventurers.
Thanks for the answer! And meh, that’s sad 😦 I wish it would apply to all classes of the same branch (Eg. Thieves can change into any other thief)
If that were to happen, non-popular classes e.g. mechanic would become non-existent and things like Kaisers & ABs would be everywhere.
Although Buccaneer looks like it didn’t receive much changes in terms of new skills, it got buffed a lot. They increased the damage of all their skills, made buccaneer blast hit a larger area, gave them flash jump and made their hyper skills more useful. I’m satfisfied
Like 😀
They need to CHANGE Showdown Challenge Big dagger to a Big Avenger and make it Shadow partnerable
Can nx use “the energy man” to be the Viper’s Specialized Skill?? Now viper is very rediculous(the energy man’s summoner) please ~ I think many viper’s player like the energy man which is being before
GIVE HEROES BACK THEIR DAMAGE WTH IS THIS CRAP
Heroes barely have any survivability if you are going to take their damage at least give them more dmg reflect and make enrage able to strike through damage reflect.
seems like heroes are going to be the worst of the three soon YES!! 😀
You forget that the Heroes (besides Phantom) were just buffed to a ridiculous level. Right now they are on top…besides maybe the KOC :x.
Wait x all of that, Hero not Legend. Hero already is the lowest at this point…DK and Paladin are insane
Nexon never really cared about heroes I mean look at their shout lol.
And meanwhile phantoms are still nerfed to hell with skills not nearly as flashy as the adventurers now…………
Lol phantom gets to steal some new skills even dual bladers and cannoneers so they getting buffed too
this is adventurers’ revamp, not phantom’s!! in a way, phantom is also buffed as the adventurers become stronger, so shut up pls….
Thank you for adding to my comment
nd meanwhile phantoms are still nerfed to hell with skills not nearly as flashy as the adventurers now…………
Hi Max, regarding assassinate, I understand that the description now says 1.5x bonus instead of 2.5x, but when I went through and compared the extractions for the current assassinate and the new one, they both had this: “New – kp (150)” which I am assuming to represent this bonus. If both old and new extractions have the same value, does that mean there was no change? Could it be possible one or the other descriptions are wrong?
Mages are still sucky crap Nexon… Buff them up!
They can do the shield for marksman as a toggle skill anyone? because sometimes you really want def but sometimes you really want damage 😀
But max what’s the new SE effect? i know that there’s one new or all the same?
They should increase the duration of the ”Shield” that make i/L with 100% elemental and ailment resistence to 60 secons, 30 seconds isn’t good also the cool down should decrase to 180 sec for both mages(f/p and i/l) have more resistence every 210 sec isn’t good i think?
SE should get 5% boss if it didn’t get? but i don’t really care, having +20% dmg in my piercing will be better so ”bad” hypers for SE isn’t a bad deal
i would prefer them to change the 5% crit rate to +10% max critical damage lo, better this way
the pain killer(all cure skill) skill would incrase the duration to 5 secs or even 8 secs, 1 secs isn’t good for makrsmans
marksmans*
agree….1 second is very useless indeed….
marksman’s status and element resist, hp %, weapon attack still the same…..they simple shift the stats to other skills that are “new”…..didnt increase a bit at all….still 30 wa, 15% hp and 20% resist to status and element only which is very low…..
And again Buccaneers are destroyed……….time to quit my 196 bucc because this is just……-sigh-
Well look on the bright side, we can soam lasers without using energy
i would like it if they change the distancing sense’s critical rate increase when the distance is close to maximum critical damage increase lo….because critical rate increase is really pointless…..marksman’s critical rate is very high already, better still increase the maximum critical damage so they can hit higher damage with sniping….
with this revamp they should at least move screw punch to 1st job ( since there’s still no punching skill at first job), move shockwave to 2nd, move dragon strike to 3rd job and a new skill for 4th for example a giant anchor like striker ( because its more pirate like). And at least bring back avenger with new animations
Gunslingers can now use recoil shot, THRICE? That’s awesome!
Reblogged this on Melanie Bennett and commented:
I didn’t know pirates cared for chaise-longues and coffee tables.
What about toggle super sayian, so you can have super sayian but without the epic dude.
Bring back assaultkthnx
Viper Transformation should come back but as a mirror image (nx clothing not covered) and their Hyper Skill should be a huge punch (viper jump up high and drops with a huge punch *super effects*) xD
