[1.2.318] [KOR] Adventurer Skill Revamps

Rawr )+ I hope I'm wrong here, but can someone tell me if Fiel's other thread says that Brave slash has a longer delay than Brandish? 1080 ms vs 810 ms.

its gayish/ 4year oldish

I did not know that something subjective and varied as music taste can be classified by sexual orientation. I honestly thought this forum's maturity and tolerance was a bit higher.

Also, is Brave slash any slower than Brandish was?

Apparently by a lot. Brandish is 840ms. Brave Slash's delay is seemingly 1080ms. It does less DPS at max level. If they were the same speed though, it'd still need to be level ~18 to match DPS. The only possible advantages would be based on how FA would work with either skill, and possibly slash-stab ratios for Axe usage. Brave Slash does have a significantly larger range, but that doesn't make up for its horrible damage scaling.

I was very afraid of that. Hopefully they thought of this, cause it makes very little sense for Brandish to out damage Brave Slash.

Rawr )+ I hope I'm wrong here, but can someone tell me if Fiel's other thread says that Brave slash has a longer delay than Brandish? 1080 ms vs 810 ms.

If 1080 ms is the normal attack speed, using a fast 4 speed weapon with booster would bring that down to 810 ms, or 900 ms with a regular fast weapon.

It favors axes a tiny bit if it's true that it's two slashes and a stab, 66.67% slash up from 60% slash.

I want to beleive FA works passively by adding 150% dmg to a hit, that's the only way I can justify this.

I realised I forgot to add in half of the warrior changes... updated previous post and putting it here as well.

 Spoiler

Skill changes:
- Rush now deals 250% damage.
- FA is now 40% for 150% damage. Works with Blast and Rush(???!).
- Rage now adds 20WA for 165 seconds.
- Power Guard now chews 100MP, absorbs and returns 30% damage for 20 seconds (nuts...)
- Relax now recovers up to 40MP every 4 seconds.
- Panic now deals 480% damage, and has a 90% chance to put monsters in a state of darkness for 9 seconds. *Finally fixed this...*
- Coma no longer uses HP, deals 360% damage along with 90% stun for up to 4 seconds.
- All power/armour/magic crashes now not only remove their respective buffs 100%, but also stops the monsters from using the buff again within the next 20 seconds. *doesn't work with immunity = still crappy*
- Shout now attacks up to 10 enemies for 220% damage, stun is now 8 seconds.
- Combo attack now increases damage by 3% per combo count.
- Brandish is now "Brave Slash", dealing 170% damage for 3 attacks. Brandish has been brought down to Crusaders, at 220% damage for 2 attacks.
- Advanced Combo now gives 3+5 = 8% damage increase per combo counter, and chance to charge 2 counters is raised to 80%.
- Monster Magnet now applies 200% damage when pulling, and stuns for up to 5 seconds. Has a 5 seconds cooldown. Appears to be 100% success rate... *wow*
- Enrage now adds +40 WA.
- No more shields for Heroes, in a sense that it's no longer practical without Blocking and Shield Mastery.
- Shield Mastery for Knights is now 200% increase in shield WDEF.
- White Knights no longer have Relax.
- White Knight's elemental charges for each weapon class is now merged together so that it is no longer specific to weapon type. *Good... less confusion and chance of making mistakes*. Each charge has a max level of 20. Fire charge is now 120% damage, Ice and thunder charge are 115% each. Holy charge is at 125% damage. Charge stacking effects not tested yet.
- Blocking (Paladin exclusive skill now) stuns for up to 6 seconds.
- Paladins no longer have Monster Magnet.
- Charge Blow now deals 370% damage, and has a 120% (???) chance to stun for 6 seconds. With ACB, it deals 530% damage. *Epic phail... "Wow! Probability of more than 100%! =.=" /facepalm *
- Sanctuary now hits at 1000% damage. Still leaves at least 1 HP.
- Iron Wall now gives +300 WDEF and +100 MDEF.
- Elemental Resistance now resists only 20%.
- Dragon Crusher (combined for polearm and spear) now attacks 3 monsters 3 times regardless of level. Damage reduced to 150%.
- Dragon Fury no longer requires HP. Damage buffed to 380%.
- Sacrifice attacks at 800% damage (!) at 11% HP cost. Unclear if that HP loss is derived from damage or from MaxHP.
- Dragon Roar now attacks for 280% damage, costs 20% MaxHP (down from 30%), and self-stun duration is an increasing trend from 1-3 seconds (as opposed to 4-2 seconds previously).
- Dragon's Blood now uses up to 150HP every 4 seconds (!) (starting at 340HP {!!} at level 1), but gives up to +40 WA boost.
- Berserk is now completely changed. It is now called "Dark Force", and changed from activating below a certain HP, to activating above a certain HP (complete flip). Gives a damage boost for an equivalent defence penalty. At max level, activates above 70% HP, gives 30% damage boost for -30% WDEF.
- Beholder now gives 10% mastery. However, since the damage formulae have all changed, the effect is currently unclear.
- Beholder's buff gives +20WA, +100 WDEF, +100 MDEF, +40 Acc, +40 Avoid per buff instance, and buffs every 4 seconds. Each buff lasts for 100 seconds. *This is very good*

Berserk activating at 100% HP and cutting Def does not sound fun. Rest of the DK changes do. They suck less now. Yey. If leveling is as omghax as 50% exp tnl sounds, I might try one. :o

so from the looks of it the hero is full on commando while the pally is a sentinel. Its looking like a 1-h pally may be a more viable option considering guarding is frikkin 30% activation rate

Why does Maple start to feel like Latale to me now...

Why does Maple start to feel like Latale to me now...

Hadriel

Probably because of the upcoming Mechanic job (lolEngineer -> Meister), and may also be because NexonUS keeps referring to the Adventurers as "Explorers".

There's still no OMGHAX ladder-jump-climbing in Maplestory though...that was one thing I had to get used to when I quit La Tale and came back to Maplestory.

Levelling is hell in LaTale at Lv5x. Was planning on Bow Explorer -> Gunslinger (Oh well, what do you know. ANOTHER similarity).

I'm putting up what changes I can analyse from 1.2.318 to 1.2.319. Many thanks to Fiel for his extractions.

 Spoiler

Hero changes:
- Power Guard duration increased to 100 seconds, and damage reflect raised to 50%
- Ground Slam hit box: ltx=-200, lty=-113, rbx=-10, rby=0.
- Armour/Power/Magic crash now have a 60 second cooldown.
- Shout has 200% range regardless of level.
- Coma and Panic now have additional variables... not too sure what they do...
- Monster Magnet works with FA. Range reduced slightly to 370% (ltx=-370, lty=-100, rbx=-50, rby=15), but range remains the same throughout all levels.
- Rush has 270% range throughout all levels.
- Brave Slash has delay of 1080ms. 250% range (ltx=-250, lty=-150, rbx=-10, rby=0). In comparision, Brandish has 150% range (ltx=-150, lty=-110, rbx=-10, rby=0). BS reaches higher and further.

Paladin changes:
- Power guard (see above)
- Threaten now has 300% range throughout all levels. Blind probability increased to 60%.
- Shield mastery now scales wider, from 10% - 200% as opposed to 100% - 200%.
- Charge Blow range increased to 200.
- Elemental damage from charges seem to be 50% for Lightning Charge and 100% for all the rest... not too sure yet.
- Blast deals 670% damage.

Dark Knight changes:
- Elemental Resistance is now back to 40%.
- Critical rate for Judgement Dragon increased to 30%. Something about increasing critical damage but not too sure... looks like the HP healing part is removed (or might have been translation error).
- Crusher and Fury have respective max ranges regardless of level i.e. no more range scaling to level.
- Sacrifice damage nerfed to 620% damage. HP loss is derived from damage, not MaxHP.
- Dragon's Blood WA boost nerfed to +30WA. HP cost increased greatly to HP -350 at max level (level 1: HP -540).
- Beholder's Buff now gives +10WA per buff instance. (Does this hint that each buff instance stacks?)

*edit* added in DK changes. *edit*

This thread has been updated for 1.2.319.

Ahh... the achilles data's not updated... but you'll do that eventually yea I know. Really curious about thunder spear though.

Hadriel

=/ Battleship Cannon takes another hit. 135% x 6 now. I really hope the formula changes and criticals make up for the 710% drop.

what if battleship has its own forumla? why on earth would the do such an epic drop

Yep, 135% x6 hits just effectively made Gunslingers one of the worst classes in the game. The only thing that can save it is if it's either a ton faster or if +20% critical is a lot better than we think it is.

Love how Triple Throw is still 270% x3 + 108% x3, though.

This thread has been updated for 1.2.319.

where there many changes? The NLs ones seams exactly the same XD Has the other classes like evan, aran and resistance been updated?

Requesting current Assaulter delay/animations
