why are MM (generally) the more reasonable maplers out there...
as fluffy has said, MM as they are kick ass. snipe/pierce are incredible training skills and their DPS is nowhere near dismal. but unlike BM, they can't pin bosses as well but unlike hurricane that gets interrupted in a boss fight, strafe can be steadily outputting optimal damage in nearly any situation. they're so versatile now and they can freeze mobs. how could you argue that they deserve top tier dps/dpm?
they're not, but they're not so far behind that it's so a fatal flaw.
with the damage cap raised how much will snipe do? plus ultimate strafe I think MM are going to be fine. BM on the other hand may need better aoe skills but other than that, 200% hurricane (i think that's what it's at) is a giant buff considering that criticals are so shitty for some reason -- at least on warriors. But again, nl crits were nuts in those vids.
I like the direction arans are taking, 20% base crit (on combo alone) is so epic win but as it stands, if the crits on warriors are so lackluster then arans just became a lot less worthwhile because 100 combos is still a gigantic pain and one stun/vamp/large gap in map/illtimed mob spawn would force you to build that back up again only, only this time, it won't be massive gains in damage. they should lower the combo count and increase overswing if they're going to nerf crits so badly on warriors. but yeah, they're moving warriors away from benefitting so much from crits obviously so who knows how this will turn out.
change the color of those fugly crusher/furies and i'm set. purple/black please...
