Even a single second of lag can get me killed. I've never had auto-HP before so I can't speak from experience about that. Any time I spend hitting my pot key is time I can't spend attacking, and with a lot of skills, pots don't work when you're in the middle of an animation.
I played as a Corsair back when Pirates were first introduced, and they trained at Newties/Skeles. If you got touched and didn't pot like mad, you were going to die, and 10% meant a LOT back then. Even though Battleship Cannon did a ton of damage, Corsairs died very easily. Paladins have never had to deal with this, but they've had a smaller range and less damage to account for the difference. This is my idea of what a Glass Cannon is - high damage, usually ranged, but fragile.
I'm just saying that the CONCEPT of Glass Cannons does exist in Maple, despite Nexon's efforts to make everything loloverpowered and unkillable with 70%+ dodge rates on top of avoid. It doesn't apply very often anymore, but the idea is there.
Alright, let's talk about the past, then.
I don't ever remember any sense of urgency or risk of dying, levelling at Grim Phantom Watches as a Fire Poison Mage without Magic Guard.
I don't ever remember any sense of urgency or risk of dying, playing a level 50 Zakum Helmet buyer's character.
I don't ever remember any sense of urgency or risk of dying, levelling at Skelegons and Skelesaurus as a Marksman.
I don't ever remember any sense of urgency or risk of dying, fighting Horntail on my 170 Marksman or 124 Buccaneer.
I don't ever remember any sense of urgency or risk of dying, when I was playing an unwashed Dark Knight in Berserk.
I do not see where the sense of Glass Cannons exist, when nothing can kill you in one hit, unless you did something stupid.
"I die if I jump straight into Horntail's tail as a Marksman" does not make me a Glass Cannon, it makes me an idiot.
