I thought about this patch long and hard to myself at work, and then some more when I got home. The damage increase from chains going from 100 to 80 percent isn't anything crippling... It sucks, but it's far from the worst case scenario. It's really unfortunate what's happening to Paladins, and I'm still unclear what's happening to Bowmasters. If the hurricane skill is as fast as Arrow Blaster, then it's okay... just silly. And what with the changes to sp and what with it stopping at 140... the possibility of imminent fifth job makes accepting these nerfs easier.
And I also thought... that getting upset over these changes for a long period of time is a little immature, since this is just a game. Life moves on and all that.
BMs for most people will see a small boost. Hurricane is not as fast as Arrow Blaster though, but when you add all the boosts together BMs will be doing more dpm by a little.
BMs for really funded people, like the Mercs in GMS that are double capping on RoI, any BM doing 35m+ in GMS, or any MEE BM in KMS will see a decent increase as BMs are now potentially the fastest class in the game with Hurricane - Splitter.
The reverse of Blaster-Hurricane is because Blaster is good for damage but not practical for some bosses. Contrarily, Hurricane currently has less dpm than Blaster, but is more practical for some bosses. Nexon gave BMs the best of both worlds by making Hurricane the better damage skill as well as the most practical.
