Bosses? They aren't relevant at my level, lmfao. You're worrying about HP yet you're forgetting that barrage is now spammable. Who cares if we can't take AS HIGH of hits when we can avoid every attack until statuses kick in. Demo is even better since we're farther away from the boss anyway and we have demo 95% of the time now! Less HP is in no way a concern.
It bothers me because this is a first for kMS to actually nerf a class's HP. Also, I still suspect something is up because level 72->73 I only saw a 27 HP increase. That somehow means Gunslingers gain more HP than us even with the +20% HP skill. This would place us at 4.1k HP at 120 then instead of my earlier predicted 4.5k and is drastically lower than 6k at 120 . Something just doesn't add up.
This is also a problem with statuses. Pap stuns you; Lyka seduces you; Horntail stuns/seduces you. No amount of Barrage spamming can reliably stop that. Gaining only 27 HP means we are barely gaining more HP than Thieves and Archers (aka ranged level HP at melee range combat). God dang we aren't as nimble as either of them. We rely on STR as our main source of damage so we should be hardier than then.
It may take time for me to adjust to this, but as it is now I'm disappointed we actually got nerfed HP when no other class had this happen to them. In fact warriors are gaining more HP than ever which they didn't really need since HP washing is more optional for them than us, and seems the case for Arans as well when a 16x-17x has over 9k HP.
