[1.2.324] (3) Last chance!

Unless the formulas for dual blade attack was changed they pretty much destroy all shadowers. Bloody Storm does 420% x 8 hits = 3360% without counting the additional 70% and 2x hitting from mirror image. Bloody Storm has a 870ms delay leaving behind Savage Blow at 960ms.



By the looks of it we Arans got buffed to hell. A 40% base critical with High Mastery and Critical Combo and an additional critical bonus of +4% added ten times gives us a critical maxed at 80% (Combo 100+) without SE or Thorns. With Thorns, its a 100% critical. If anything the revamp made Aran a super warrior.

Code:

- Critical Combo: Now gives a permanent increased base critical chance of 20% - looks like critical combo then adds %chance on top of the base critical chance
- Overswing: Double Swing's damage increased by +15% at all levels, Triple Swing's damage increased by +15% at all levels
- High Mastery: Mastery increased by +5% at all levels (for a maximum mastery of 70%). This skill also adds minimum critical damage of +20%

I don't see where you got 40% base critical from.

As far as I'm aware, (with critical ring) we get 35% base + 3%*10.

Critical damage is pretty useless now anyway if it works the way I've been informed (additive).

So, we have a 65% chance to deal +45% damage (on average).

That's 29.25%.

In a complete Overswing that translates to only +146.25%, which is completely pathetic compared to our old +800%.

After doing some of my own calculations (this includes Final Blow), we don't even compare to DrKs using Crusher w/o FA let alone Sacrifice.

I don't see where Nexon is going with this. Even if Critical was/became multiplicative, we wouldn't budge from our pitiful place on the damage rung, which is really all that matters. Admit it.

Arans are useless for anything other than Bossing and damage. They have useless party skills (unreliable Combo Barrier), horrible survivability and a reliance on external buffs.

It's completely fair that Heroes and DrKs used to obliterate us on 2-3 targets, but we managed to keep our edge against a single target or massive mobs. But that isn't even the case now. Heroes have Enrage and DrKs have their Sacrifice. Arans are left in the dust.

I hate to be one of those many that complain about their class getting 'nerfed' if you will, but I beleive I'm within perfect reason to whinge and cry about a class I've stayed loyal to despite the Big Bang updates, trusting that Nexon would have seen, from the very first patch, that they seemed to forget someone, a special element of the game that used to make Nexon a shitload of money: Arans.
