KMST 1.2.411 - Phantom

Huh? I meant the skills for phantom. Like how they get soul weapons now.

that'd make it overly complicate since they need to make a new set of weapon for 1-3 skills of each class.....and by removing xformation from bucc and replacing it with the new animation right now (xformation do the work for u), it gives nexon more nx since people can see their chars' clothes now, less coding and storage usage (replacing animation is better than ADDING soul weapons), and give bucc a sense of change

Now I'm going to need you to actually try to explain this post.

Are you claiming that, if people found themselves unable to copy the Battleship/Transform skills, they would not make a Phantom at all?

Like hell they wouldn't.
No idiot would decide whether or not to make this class based on whether or not he can ride around in a Battleship.
He'd just go make a Sair.

Buccs don't actually need Transform's animations to pull off the skills that require transform since the animations exist for the standard sprites, so that's a null point anyway.

THOSE PEOPLE are the ones that do not like the phantom class if they have the same belief, which is not a problem at all
many love to combine skills based on situations, which is what make this class fun and attract more people. the more they can copy and have more options for their styles, the more people will be attracted to it. some people (like people who play sin) really don't like the whole 120+ of spamming a star throwing skill, and this class would be perfect for them because they can throw stars all they want and change it up once in a while if they feel like it
and quite true for bucc, but how about sair. would be odd if someone just stand there firing a bunch of cannonballs from the boat without the boat.
and adding on to the removal of the ship...it only makes sense. nexon recently added cannoneers, which essentially is similar to the ship cannon anyway. sure the name "captain" doesn't quite fit anymore without the ship but the class was originally based on a GUN. the way they originally designed was pretty funny because 1st --> 3rd job gunslingers run around and shoot people with their gun, being all crazy, and suddenly 4th job they mainly hide behind their boat
