Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

I don't give a pomegranate about mages as a class either way, or the history of them. I people say mages are inferior they have no idea what they are talking about.

As a mage, I feel insulted that someone would insult my intelect and knowledge that I have on my own class.

Power is now only a question of potential stats so why should there be an item that hugely bolster that power further for just a fraction of the different classes?

So everything is based on a broken NX based system. It would be the same with or without the Elemental Wand/Staff bonus.
It also sounds like you support the idea of "paying nexon to get stronger." News Flash; Elemental Wands and Staves are Gachapon only. People had to pay nexon for them, just like how people paid nexon for the potential system.

Mages do not NEED the elemental weapons, they just need to shell out money on potential like the rest of us if they feel like competing with the top tier.

And you dont need a claw. you could do some damage and play with stabbing snails with a dagger. You'd do less damage, you'd take longer to level up and kill bosses, but you'd get there eventually.

I do feel that they should have handled the nerf way better since it was kind of out of the blue, but if they get compensated in an appropriate fashion then it is all well and good.

I dont see how "handling it better" would have made a difference in giving the middle finger to your customers.

Either way the nerf is not some kind of diabolic stroke designed to smite the magicians. It is a stroke to the players that paid money for the weapons, but nothing more, nothing less.

"Stroke" doesnt sound like the appropriate word. I'd call it fucking your customers in the pimento. And I dont see how defrauding your customers out of what they paid for can be justified.

The weapons are still superior to what the rest of the classes can get, even without the precious elemental boost,

A mage's weapon multiplier disagrees. On top of that it is taking away one of the bonuses mages had outside of KMS while leaving many advantages that other classes had from content not found in KMS.
Warriors still benefit from weapons faster than those found in KMS.
Night Lords benefit from the extremely powerful Watt potions and stars not found in KMS.
Bandits benefit from a 15 base Watt shield not found in KMS
All Watt classes benefit more than mages from the MoN, not found in KMS.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many would debate that Mages need the elemental bonus just to compete with all the advantages other classes get that are not from KMS.

so while it might be annoying, it is not what some call destroying the class.

You try having the effects of your equipment that you paid for and/or earned stolen from from you. Its more than annoying. Its infuriating.
While it isnt destroying the class, this act is definitly fucking over paying customers.

It is not even close to the end of mage prowess, it is just the end of getting it much cheaper than most other classes. I suppose it is also the end of the few mages with a high level of potential stats from being way too overpowered.

I suppose we could be getting a pretty cheap and powerful bonuses from the wands/staffs if you ignore other content (lets say... extremely cheap 50% scrolls) that GMS has that KMS doesnt.

Also Mr. MissingLink, me being a NL has nothing to do with anything, I have nothing against any particular class. I disslike imbalance as a concept though and I enjoy seeing it fixed. Granted, an illconceived method, but a fix still.

Funny how you say that you dislike imbalance, but also promote the idea of just using the broken potential system.
