Battle Mages. Only change was the adding Advanced Yellow Aura (-1 Weapon Speed), 180% Finish Blow (vs 145%), 840% The Finisher (vs 760%) and 1040% Dark Lightning (vs 1000%). While receiving a buff to their primary attack that is greater than the DPS increase for 0% DEF monsters between versions, their overall difference is smaller due to a significant portion of their damage coming from Teleport which was not affected.
I hope and pray Nexon is aware of the ridiculous discrepancy they just created as, currently, Mages are even more fucked up than they were before when it comes to scaling.
I mean, hot damn, Evans do three times as much damage as a class they were just reorganize alongside?
Battle Mages are in serious need of a dedicated 1v1 attack. Hell, give them a version of "Enrage", call it "Dark Focus", and call it a day.
