The only time I even came close to using it was when I was in the dojo, and it wasn't even succesful because the animation takes so damned long. I'd rather have full HP in half a millisecond than wait roughly 3 seconds for a CHANCE of getting my HP back. You can't even use it unless your HP is below 50%. Fail skill is fail. Meso Guard is our only HP based skill.
Comparing Flash Jump and Assualter isn't fair in the least. You can FJ around town and from map to map while we can only use it for training. It's the only skill in the game that requires a monster to be used. Honestly, I don't think Nexon was thinking in terms of movement speed. Of Shads and Dual Blades, they're the ones who have a noticeable speed advantage. Shads are only faster when training, and we probably won't be using it while training or bossing unless it's to shorten the distance between us and a monster. Night Lords are probably going to be stuck where they are, as a skill where you rush in doesn't sound like it'll happen for a ranged class. Maybe you should make a Dual Blade or a Shadower, since apparently movement speed is what you want.
I generalized you into the lake that is the Night Lord community. All the comments about Night Lords wanting to get more speed boosts because Dits get it all blended into one massive wall of rage in my head. I thought you were some other Night Lord that had complaints very similar to your own and I apologize. I jumped the gun on that one.
Yeah, you made yourself a lot clearer this time. Before you just sounded like the stereotypical high leveled Assassin...
Actually, there's something to make clear too, and that is that drain can only recover up to half our total hp. That means that in any place where we have barely the hp to survive, drain is totally useless. And I mean it. At oblivion I have to keep relying on potions, and if I use drain, is a 50% chance of death. Specially if a mob spawns on me, forcing me to PUNCH it, and not having recovered the hp (THANK GOD that's going away. Drain will now be efficient). Sure, Chakra is slow on lower levels, but on higher ones it's better to use, and on the Big Bang update, the mastery level is now only 10. And by all means, Meso guard actually saves money from potions, too, only on its own way.
And assaulter actually works in a different way from flash jump. Flash jump, in case you never tested, gives you pot lag, and makes you unable to attack or even pot. So it's purely for movement, anywhere... But can cost you a death or two if you don't pay attention. Assaulter is oriented only on combat, making you move better, while also useful for dealing damage. Again, it's only a matter of play styles. After the updates they are pretty balanced.
And about making a new character... I've never mained another character, since I ever started, and I'll never will. I don't really have the time to start a new one, and the style of a Night Lord is my style. Not a lot of keys, relying just on flash jump and a pair of things... And some buffs. It's just that. Oh and I'm not gonna start over my monster book D:
