JoeTang Wrote:Evan were designed wrong to begin with. Skills get progressively slower as they get stronger, making most skills scale extremely poorly, especially compared to other classes. Best example of this is Magic Missile is the best single target DPS skill until Fire Breath/Killer Wings. Lightning Bolt would be useful if monsters weak to lightning actually existed, but I'd rather just train with Fire Circle/Ice Breath. Magic Flare is just useless unless it's the marginal difference in time to kill because it can OHKO 100% of the time or something. Flame Wheel's only advantage now is its range since Earthquake does more DPS, and hits more mobs. At least Illusion is useful. I've never agreed with the idea of having one shitty Lightning Skill, one shitty Ice Skill, and then four random ass fire skills. The greatest advantage Evan got from Big Bang, which make them anywhere near worthwhile is the extremely high amount of Magic Attack they have in my opinion.
Agreed. The biggest faltering of the Evan was the speed issue and without a fix to that, they will remain clunky. However, as of BB, Evans seem to be one of the better training classes or more specifically mob training classes if that's any consolation.
Also, it is probably advisable for people not to look to their Evan as the "legendary" mage class, you will undoubtedly be disappointed, if not now, eventually.
