Nexon doesn't change classes much (which they should) to try and balance out how new classes compare to existing classes, and to fix how classes scale compared to one another or when something new is released (onyx apple).
example - Nightlords gain much more per atk power as opposed to a shadower
If a shadower had billions of mesos worth of extra equips over an NL, it wouldn't matter much. The gap in damage is just too big. NLs don't train any slower either after a certain point.
Guess what I'm going to mention next? Yup it's WoW and Blizzard
. Blizz changes their classes constantly. Every major update every single class gets changed to keep balance from gear scaling and boss encounters. Nexon really needs to do the same.
If barrage or bstep/SB did as much as triple throw or SoA, then we wouldn't see guild leaders going "sorry i'm going to take this NL or BM over your shad/bucc", and when I played, I saw it a lot.
Yah mages are great for leeching people and quick leveling, but that's about it. You don't see many mages at boss fights due to their poor single target damage. If Nexon would cut back on the blizz/genesis/meteo spam damage, and up mage's single target damage, then mages would probably appreciate it. Overkilling a a skele by 40k damage is cool and all, but if I was a mage, i'd rather take away that 40k aoe and turn it into single target DPS.
Guilds stack NLs and BMs because their damage is just ridiculous. Speed zak runs are nothing but a ton of them with apples.
If Nexon decides it would rather not give other classes closer single target damage compared to each other, then they should give classes other abilities that allow them spots on boss runs. Give classes attack power/ magic atk power group buffs that stack with apples or buffs that cut down damage take by X amount. SOMETHING to give every class a reason to be brought into a group.
TL;DR- Nexon just sucks at balancing, plain and simple.
