KMS 1.2.144 - Skill Revamp, Forest, Halloween

Now the cannon shooter is going for the dark side, next time he be hitting on the maple gm lol

Don't know how much more facepalm I can handle..

Party Shield:
Changed - Max level (20 --> 30)
Changed - time (30 --> 40) (10+level --> 10+3*roundDown(level/3))

I'd rather leave Party Shield at 20 SP, then create a new skill for MDR Ignore costing 10 SP like Archers..

I would actually love this in the Evan class. The future of the Maple classes is having a 4th Job skill with PDR Ignore and Boss damage. I hate having only 1 mob skill and 1 boss skill with PDR Ignore, while all of them could benefit.

And party shield should be changed to be exactly like Smoke Screen.

Finishing Blow was given 30% Ignore PDR.

I think he meant that he'd like that 30% pdr ignore to be a passive given by another skill, rather than have Finishing Blow be the only skill with it.

Yea, I know, but I'm saying instead of making PShield worse (in terms of SP cost to skill ability ratio), they should have left PS 20 and make a new skill for MDR Ignore.

.. or at least make PShield around par with Smokescreen before sending it another 10 SP to max..

Erm, the way she's dressed + licking a lollipop.. is Nexon trying to be seductive?

I'm pretty happy with the patch, but Nexon is creatively bankrupt. They didn't even have to give Battlemages anything special, but chose to pad out the rest of 4th job by tripling the SP necessary to max a skill for no improvement over the original incarnation. The MP doesn't count as an improvement. That isn't worth an extra 20 points.

This sets a bad precedent, IMO. I expected Warriors, Aran and Battle Mages to be a little more flushed out a little more after moving Stance away from 4th job. It might be worse for Warriors, considering Rush might also be moved out of 4th job. There might be a ton of extra padding on their skills if that were to happen. Holy Charge/Divine Shield/ACB/Combat Mastery/Beholder/X of the Beholder could take more to max for next to no change like Party Shield and Energize. Hopefully not, but we'll see.

Evans go away, you're so fast the skills look distorted.

Battle Mages were the only class that got Stance moved. Arans still have it in 4th job, it's just 20 points.

It's been that way since 4th job.
*points to i/l, f/p, and bishop copy/paste skills*

God no! Damn it, you jinxed it! DS and ACB being 10 points are two of the best buffs for Pallys to boost them into a good range in 4th job. Making either 30 points would be a giant slap to the face, it's not even funny. They're already behind imo...it doesn't need to be worse.

It's been that way since 4th job.

Not really 0.0"
4th job introduced Rush/Monster Magnet/Dragon Breath.
And, I found F/P's Mist Explosion something new, but everything else are indeed copy/paste skills

Do Arans still have Smart Knockback? Why the hell does that skill still exist?

Yeah. That and the way they needlessly give everyone and their mother an ultimate.

Yeah, I know. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Nexon's creative staff is apparently obsessed with loli.
I mean fucking LOOK at her.
She's just asking for the cannon shooter to... "use his cannon".

Maybe he was about to, and the monkey stopped him...and that's why he's crying.

They gave Smart Knockback an attack buff in Legend.

Great music as always.

But what's QueensHideout used for?

Mist Explosion didn't come with the original 4th job patch. :f6:
Mages really were copy-pastes of each other. They all had an ultimate, an elemental summon, Mana Reflection, and Big Bang. Both of the Arch Mages had a "Demon" to go with their summons to boot.

Oh CS. You just need somebody to love. But just don't go THERE.
