Soul Seeker started out at 420%, to cap with that, hit the normal cap, I mean, you'd need a range of 238k, before any boss damage. That's not exactly possible for everyone. Angelic Burster has amazing, more than amazing, really, potential, but if you can't put in the effort and the money for that, that's all it'll ever be, just potential.

I don't see a problem with the people who put the time and money into it, disregarding where their resources came from, being able to those caps. But my point is there's always been people like that who will aim for the top, and get there, but I don't feel that that makes the class itself bad, in a way, because it's not easy for everyone to do that, it does take time and money, and it'd be a bigger problem if everyone was able to. I don't think the fact that a few people can do that merits nerfing how strong it could possibly be.
The larger gap is a problem, yes, but, comparing new class Angelic Burster to all the old classes is like comparing apples to oranges. Plus, I wouldn't call it outrageous that the class known for, and seemingly designed for, damage is, shockingly, good at dealing damage.
We've seen what happens when the damage cap gets raised from 100k to 200k and now to 1m. Zakum used to be the ultimate boss. Now everyone and their mother can solo it. Pink Bean was undefeatable for months. Now half my buddy list can solo PB like it's no problem. I understand that a game needs to grow this way in order to progress to more upper-end content, but how many random maplers can say they're able to use this content? When a newbie to Maple asks how to make mesos from scratch, or how people spend billions and billions of mesos to buy gear and they're having trouble just paying for potions, what do you say? Sell NX? Spend months upon months doing nothing but merching to maybe make enough mesos to simply buy a clean empress cane? It's plain that an increasingly large number of players are already dissatisfied with how far down the road of pay-to-win maple has become. I understand that a game needs to grow this way in order to progress, but it's no good to simply stretch the extremes of capability without increasing the median.
