@FrozNlite: I'd have thought two years of posting about nothing but class balance would have given me a reputation as someone who doesn't advocate changes only to boost my own class's power. I don't even play MapleStory at the moment, nor would I play if Corsairs are really god-tier and all that crap you're talking about. The fact is, with the new damage formulas, Ele Staves will become godlike weapons in comparison to any other weapon a mage can hope to obtain, providing bossing gains of over 1.5x damage. That's a pineappleing ridiculous boost. Yes, that's on one element, but you only need one element to boss. Where did I even mention training? My calculations are all about bossing. I'm not going to be happy with KMS's skill balancing if AMs are still entirely useless and they still need to use Ele Wands as a crutch to make them competitive with other classes. But I'm also not going to be happy with the balancing if AMs are fine in KMS, doing mid-tier DPS on multiple targets, and then they come to GMS and completely obliterate everything. Keep in mind hitting multiple targets is actually a big deal. Heroes have pretty mediocre 1v1 damage in GMS at the moment, but they tear through CWKPQ, Zakum Arms, HT; anything that has multiple parts stacked next to each other.
So many people are expecting the DPS differences between classes to remain as massive as they are now, with some classes doing nearly 3x as much damage as others. I certainly hope it doesn't stay that way. If Nexon actually balances these classes right, you should be complaining when one class gets a weapon that boosts their overall power by even 20%.
Edit: Btw, I said they are probably about as strong as Heroes without the damn weapons. You want them to outdamage Heroes by 50%? Okay.
