If the MapleStory community were reasonable, they'd acknowledge the truth of your words. There's just one problem. The MapleStory community isn't reasonable. So while Nexon's trying to restrict, gimp and balance the class, it's ultimately pointless since players will ignore the fact that the drawback exists and instead qq about percents.
But in reality, the recharge system does appear to limit the effectiveness of Burster, since she can't simply spam skills and has to use vastly weaker ones in between.
Personally, while I was really psyched about the class originally, that Zakum vid made it look boring. Sure, there's large numbers. But a class needs more than just large numbers. Especially one that has to juggle skills and keep paying attention to an unnecessary drawback.
That Battle Mage revamp from June is still looking mighty fine in comparison to the Tempest classes, even if the DPS is lesser. At least it isn't periodically impotent like Luminous (Equilib), Kaiser (Transfig) or Burster (Recharge).
