KMST 1.2.409 - Thief/Pirate Revamp

I'm not too bothered, really. Gunslingers were always a fast, mobile summon-based ranged class. Though the Battleship was cute and cool, it really killed their mobility. I'm a little sad to see it gone (one thing less to look forward to; I'm still Lv100), but there was really no point in having both Rapid Fire and Battleship Cannon in the same tier since it's fairly easy to keep the ship from breaking. Love the gun-toting octopus though. The octopus turret is awesome too; a major improvement over the current Octopus, and the Crew summon is much better than Gaviota.

I feel they should have instead worked on ship mobility and get rid of rapidfire pretty much. Actually, I did like the shipbreak mechanic originally, I thought it was a pretty cool idea to have a superdamage mode that's limited by HP meaning you have to keep track of it. The mobility was to keep the ship from being overpowered, but it would have been cool if they instead had the ship with a speed and attack mode, so instead of dismounting while traveling across the map you could switch to speed mode.

Okay, maybe that's not such a good idea. I still don't like taking out the skills the class was built on, especially iconic skills that the class was pretty much known for.

To be honest, they should have kept Ultimates as strictly mage-only. When everyone and their mom has an Ultimate, it kinda kills the novelty.

Yeah, really. No idea why they thought it was a good idea to give everyone an ulti just because. Remember when 4th job first came out and everyone was crapping their pants over skills that attack the whole screen going to mages? Well, who cares now, lol.
