[1.2.178] Night Walker

NLs do have a pretty bad 4th job, in terms of added versatility, fresh attacking skills, etc. No one in their right mind thought that they were gonna be weak. Just because a job is viewed as "bad" doesn't mean the character is going to be weak or simply suck.

It's just like why Dark Knight's were such a letdown to everyone. Their 4th job is extremely boring because it's really only a buffer to their existing skills (similar to NLs'). They're stuck with the same attacks and the same play style, basically. People love jobs that add new attacks and sexy buffs. That said, though, Dark Knights are still a great class and can be very powerful.

Of course this Cygnus class is still going to be great...because it's just like the Hermits/NLs. But the job itself is boring and crappy because it does very little to change how the class is played. That's the point being made here.

You're not getting my point though. Back when 4th job came out everyone saw their skills and immediately said "oh look they got 1.5 more stars per attack doing the SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE per star! Nothing special, hey everyone look at bowmasters and heroes some moar!"

NLs weren't thought to be that strong (JUST LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW, ZOMG!) but it was only until people realized that SE + TT = secks that people thought NLs were strong. NLs are still not strong alone, but with other classes they're much stronger.

Anyway, sudden strike + SE + apples + TT + level 120 character = secks.
