People (including me) who assume Demon Slayer wield Blunt Weapons are actually wrong.

Meh... It never looked like a blunt weapon to me.. Dunno why people assumed it was.

In the video from the press release which showed Demon Slayer, the image made it look like the level 120(?) one-handed blunt weapon.

Ah. I see. I just never thought it was because of the orb in the middle, plus this:

Showing a couple of the scepters at different levels.

Another new weapon type introduced? I sense a pattern here. Inb4 all newer classes each have their own weapons.

Scepters suck. Low base speed, pomegranate damage, and terrible specs that no Paladin actually needed except a Cleric, unless you were some sort of a poor papaya.

But FoHers can make use out of some really good Unique or Runeworded scepters!

...

We ARE talking about D2, right? Right?

I dunno about that man, there weren't many FOH'ers around for the last like 6 seasons
Now if it's a hammerdin you are talking about then yeah.

That whole thing about how new classes get something and then it shows up on adventurers later?
It reminds me of a very great article I think Isaac wrote before he left. It was in reference to the way
maplestory tests new things like classes and events, only to incorporate the mechanics behind them
into other stuff.

I think back to that piece every time I see something that was once new that makes it's
way into the game in other things later.

Stupid, instead of making readily available weapons useable, lets make new weapons. We have blunt weapons. No one uses them. MAKE THEM USEFUL.

Problem is everyone who wants the class immediately uses BWs the second they're appealing (aka upon extraction). Apparently this class uses both weapons though according to orangemushroom.

I think it's a good thing. Stops people who've used exploits to make super equipment from having ridiculously overpower characters immediately.

FoHers are pomegranate and they should be using HOTO like every other caster to begin with. Too poor? Use a Spirit. HoBL gives nothing other than the +2 FoH, not worth the cut in FCR, FHR, and vit. There is no such thing as a good Runeword Scepter.

Scepters suck. BW are superior.

I think it's a good thing. Stops people who've used exploits to make super equipment from having ridiculously overpower characters immediately.

KMS doesn't have exploits obviously but it's silly to justify a new weapon type with the exploit card since you could easily say make a scrolled scepter with exploited WS+50s.

I don't really care whether they use a new weapon or not though. It's just the difference of stocking up weapons for it before vs making new ones after they're released. I'm only getting the classes (except cannoneer) to 70 anyway.

Introducing yet another new type of weapon? Does Maplestory really need this?

Completely needed. It had been a while since kataras came out so it is good to see 3 new weapons released so close together. Hopefully the Res Warrior will use a completely different and new weapon as well.

if they're gonna introduce this weapon, they should seriously sort the weapons AND the accessories right -point to mechanics- i mean mechanics never used its own gun, and they wear pirate clothes? wat? cannon shooter should've been the resistance pirate
i also dont like how they kept on making new weapon sets, not new clothes set (or at least re-design old the old sets of clothes). i mean mercedes and demon slayer will end up wear -some- ugly clothes of regular archers/warriors.

I would rather have set bonuses implemented for every level of clothing rather than a revamp of looks.

By the way, I still got one of those Resistance only event boxes that gave a pretty cool weapon.

Agreed with Kaos' response in this, we don't need a new class either...but if they're going to force one on us, we should be using one of the useless weapon types we already have for Warrior, namely 1h/2h Axe and Blunt, because honestly they are inferior to Swords in most situations. They should be using Blunts or Axes...not another new weapon type.

Yeah, either Nexon shouldn't have made the useless weapons in the first place (there really are too many types of warrior weapon), or they should make classes that use them. One or the other, take your pick.

In the first place BW/2h weps wernt useless bb made them useless

Eh, I see Paladins using 1h BWs often enough. I never see anyone using Axes, though.

Uhm, yes they do.

Pink Bean exploit came from KMS, that's just one of many. Chinese Meso farmers are crazy.

I think those were deleted...

Potential didn't help. Base 4 Dex ST using is not at all hard these days and it's going to be LOLeasy after jump. Sadly it is only sort of appealing.

Not what he was talking about.

By "1h BWs" do you mean "Crushed Skulls"?
Because that's the only 1H BW that doesn't get out-right beaten by swords.
