[1.2.381] The Wind

"Ninjas Vs Pirates" would be an awesome way to release those updates, maybe that is why they left those precise two jobs out of jump, it would make sense.

As for the archer changes, it is obvious that some of the new skills will get nerfed and some buffed. For example, Illusion step is obviously gonna get nerfed as it gives an archer higher avoid than that of a thief.
Second, I believe illusion step is the only thing thielves can complain about. You cannot complain about arrow drain because you never did when arans or battlemages got a drain skill (and even buccs). you cannot complain about Double jump because FJ is s till superior and you didn't complain when WH got DJ. You cannot complain about hurricane because... it's been there for years, same for wind walk.

Thieves need new original skills, specially Night Lords which use almost the same skill from 1st job to 200 (L7 and 3T), the ones you're complainig about have been not original nor exclusive for long time now.

No, no, don't get me wrong. It's just that archers now have from us: Drain, speed, avoid, flash jump, dark sight (ok, only the cygnus), all in one. That's basically all a Night Lord has. Then add their summons, puppet, link with their bird, higher mobbing range, and better DPS. And most of it, gotten even before us. 30-60 speed at lv 10-30, flash jump at second job, not having to care for arrows from 2nd job, etc...

All that in one.

It's like saying "Why would you want to make a Night Lord?"
