Sneak peek of the new Thief and Pirate

reserving final judgement until full trees and animations exist. This one skills looks cool kinda over done with the whole IMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR thing imo.

For everyone crying "Shadow Partner": Ever consider that Buccs currently have two "powerful states" that they can be in: Energy and Transformation? The Kamehameha may very well only require your energy to be charged in order to use. Therefore, they use the naked guy to show what it would look like if you weren't in Super Transformation.

I thought of it this way: First laser is normal form version, second laser is only xform/energy version, third laser is xform+energy version. I really just hope the last image is just a horizontal movement skill rather than another laser or a rush.

To me it looks more like 3 different frames from the same animation (skill). 1st is starting the blast (not all the way out yet), 2nd is the blast widening, 3rd is the full power frame (white hot intensity). The 4th image looks like an upgraded/revamped Corkscrew Blow (longer range, newer animation, hopefully doesn't have the delay after moving before you can attack again).

Though I'm not sure why the first 2 "frames" of the kamehameha (and the "CSB") all spin clockwise, but the "full power" frame spins counter-clockwise.

/Does it spin the other direction for Australian players?

If it were all the same skill everyone would have full reason to be disappointed. The only way they wouldn't be is if they SOMEHOW still kept the combo-noncombocount style while still improving on it. If they did a tiered attack though it would promote the building of power through comboing without discouraging comboing by giving us a spammable long range laser like every other pirate has. The problem is the tiered attack can't possibly be good for DPS just because it would take time to charge up and use, even though you'll still have a laser with what looks like the same range as dragon strike and is probably spammable, it just won't be as strong.

The different animations are the only reason for me hoping for that though. Changing clockwise is evidence of this being true, imo.

so shadowers are so fast they are invisible ? is that what they are trying to sell me ?
the shadower cant be seen in any of the skills....

Dual Blades were "nerfed" in legend(mirror image fixed)
post legend, we have lower theoretical DPS than bishops, and I think only Buccs are below us. After this revamp, if they don't do anything to us, we'll be at the bottom
Oh well, time to train my shadower I guess.

The biggest revamp out of three has yet to come. My body is ready.



Open the image in a new tab to enlarge.

My bad... the 10th image of the Pirate revamp (the 5th one of the Buccaner ) is too weird... or is an energy ball or a Psyco Crusher...

Cannon Shooter and Dual Blade will probably get some changes, but no new skills.

Cannon Shooter is supposed to get nothing, because they are among the Legend classes, which get nothing.
Logically, however, DB's should get something. They're not new, and they're thieves, so they should get something if Nexon sticks to their word.
I doubt they'll get a full revamp and swag brigade like the regular adventurers.

Dammit gotta get my sair to 120 and refund my shadower for this pomegranate man.

My Predictions:
- More legend(s) will be coming around December Correct
- These would probably be Pirate and Thief Legends along with the thief/pirate revamp Correct
- The chars in the revamp notice before could be heroes.Correct (?)

I'm such a genius

I just realized something thanks to TKWizard... I think Vipers get a similar skill like Shadow Partner, because if you look at the third laser you can see 2 arrows pointing to the 2 characters casting a laser.

That's your Heterosexual Life Partner. You guys do everything together, no homo.

Dualblades' Life Cycle
Release: Overpowered
Big Bang: became crap
Chaos: overpowered
Legend: became crap
Union: (Overpowered please)

Predicted the fact that more heroes are coming in December, knew these would be Pirate and Thief Legends and I also though that the chars in the revamp notice before could've been heroes.

These are the regular adventurers.
That's why there's Goku and an octopus.

Seconded. DB's can wait a little f'ucking longer. Bucc's and NL's have been waiting forever.

The Union update only mentioned that Mercedes and Demon Slayer wouldn't be part of the updates/events.

My Cannon Shooter is able to participate in the events and received an SP reset with the Adventurer patch. They'll probably receive minor changes, like better 'tank' ability and how Cannon Punch is the most useless skill in the game.

Right now Cannon Shooter is a generally unwanted class because they're actually weaker than Dual Blade due to their slow slow speed and absolutely no defense ignore skills.

slow slow speed and absolutely no defense ignore skills.

Fast 5 without SI/USI isn't that slow.

Overburn gives 20% IPDR to all skills.

My body. Ready it is not. Hnnnnnng.

Well from what i can see Corsairs are going to be something like mercedes/Cannon shooters/the girl from silent crusade together:

1st skill: the player have the symbol from pirate signal in their head (cannoner's ultimate symbol) and an octopus is riding the nautilus (or a smaller version of it).Battleship nautilus skill, the signal

2nd skill: the player is firing with his octopuses comrades (one in battleship and the other one in the terminator's style), this is pretty cool i always wanted corsairs to get a gang (and buccaners too but, you know the lonely fighter stereotype).

3rd Skill: same 2nd skill but with a robot-like octopus (yay more terminator)

4th: this just looks like a mercedes skill but with a octopus doing it. leap tornado

5th: Just awesome, now we can ride a octopus (hopes it gets an eye patch in final version or a mustache).

Feels good to have a Corsair My octopus will bring bullet storms to my foes!
