[1.2.381] The Wind

TT is a boring and lame looking skill. I'll give you that. It is spammed and as unflashy as it gets. While there is the option of buying nx stars, it's not fair or right to recommend that as a way of dressing up a boring skill.

As for the possibilities listen above, advanced sp being one I can definitely see being implemented, that would bother me. I honestly wouldn't care at all if NL's got a guard like skill and extra hp and avoids and all that, but when it comes down to damage buffing, I get nervous because I know that NL's are already a very strong class, if boring.

No, it's not about flashiness. For all I care, I couldn't care less if main attack is throwing 3 stars or doing a backflip and throwing 3 stars. It's about thinking out of the box. All useful skills we have are reduced to Flash jump, Triple throw (Lucky seven before that), avenger, and drain. And our buffs to Shadow partner and haste (Ok, add booster and maple warrior, but everyone has those by default). That's it. And I'm talking about the whole skillbook here, all four jobs. The rest are either passives or useless stuff.

The only skill that changes the status of monsters (not a passive, Venom is just a damage adder. No gameplay required) is that very same skill you need 30 sp from 4th job. And it's pushing and stunning at a rate, without even almost damage, and an animation delay quite horrendous. The other is taunt, that doesn't change anything gameplay wise, and just makes you kill stuff slower.

That's all there is to our gameplay during all 4 jobs, basically. There is not a single skill that compliments another, like a bowman does when stunning and attacking, for example. Or a warrior rushing and controlling a boss at the corner, while keeping it there thanks to stance. Or a mage, using infinity to pick when's the best time to use the best skill he can think of at the peak of infinity (bit of a stretch here, but nontheless mages can work around with the rest of skills). We have nothing more than holding a key at bosses, and flash jumping at training.
