GMS Kaiser Discussion

It's glitched at the moment and has no CD. Perma "Final Transfig" npnp.

Also, "Kaiser's Majesty" is freaking broken as hell. It didn't occur to me that you can freely reset Nova Will and Echo every 90 seconds, until I got Echo and Nova Will themselves.

That's good news. I initially thought the cooldown resetting thing was really stupid since Kaiser's only skill with a cooldown besides his hyper skills that aren't affected by it is inferno breath. I don't think that'd be worthwhile even if it weren't bugged, though. Just one more reason to look forward to level 200.

Eh, 90sec DR / Weapon cancel bypass every 5 minutes is good enough for me, even though it's ridiculously easy to max out the gauge.

Dear god Kaiser is overpowered at LHC. 110-120 went by so fast. (Would have gone by faster if it weren't for the mini-KS war that took place.)

I'm basically unfunded (Just an Evolving Ring III, a Legends Ring, 30 Empress' Blessing, and all available Link Skills.), but transforming, stacking three Wing Beats and spamming Gigas Wave kills Crockies really, really fast.

Hell, the Gigas Spam I was doing just to charge the meter back up was killing them quickly too.

Seriously, why was Kaiser getting no hype before Angelic Buster came out? Where were the bossing videos of Kaiser raping Zakum in 20 seconds or less? (Or did the GMS changes to Kaiser buff him that much?)

So, I'm gussing there's no way in hell I'm going to beat Magnus with a level 112 Kaiser.
20k hp? Yeah, that's gone in one hit.
Did he use one of the attacks that don't kill me in one hit? Well, I can't potion or move now, so it might as well have been.

Not like I can dodge ****, if I try to get out of the path of his charge I'm just going to get caught at the end and die instantly to the second hit anyway.
Then there's the constant rain of instant death "nice try running from the attacks that you actually have time to react to" energy balls.
Also, the apparently instant green explosion that oneshots me from anywhere on the map.

Edit: Bleh, just pisses me off. Everything was going so well for that quest line and then, whoop, paywall on the final boss.

@above Don't let the req lvl of the questline fool you. Normal Magnus is endgame as well. As an Aran I don't think I could solo it at 200 with godly equips. Aran is very bad at avoiding cause I cant stop or move during OS or Beyonder.

Still, I started the quests at around 90, and they took me steadily up to 112 before I got to the big bad, and the things were actually calling me Kaiser so I figured he was getting some special treatment with a Helisium storyline instead of just "go fight Magnus and get coins for loot".
All that steady building up, and then... nothing. You lose, good day sir. Do not pass Magnus, do not collect storyline resolution. Might I interest you in hauling your ass back to LHC where everyone else goes at this level?

Doesn't that happen with practically every special character in Maple Story? It might have been better if they made a storyline version specifically for this but as we know Nexon is a bit wishy-washy on how they implement storylines.

When is there ever any resolution in any storyline in maplestory?

I don't even have a computer able to play maple right now. I haven't even played since the last renegades update.

Phantom came pretty close to it, I should say.

Giga slash is HNNNNNNNNNG.
LOVE THIS CLASS.

I'm fairly sure there was a video of a Kaiser Blade Bursting Zakum down with cap on each hit on release.

Overall, Kaiser is significantly less fun on KMS due to the clunky Command inputs, and no Wing Beat while Transformed.

i agree with this 100%. I really, really enjoyed that (for the first time) I enjoyed my trek from 90 to 110 via quests (though repeating getting the same 50 things got fucking old FAST).

I really, really disliked that it just suddenly stopped because I couldn't kill magnus at lvl 110. I mean, can they at least give us a weak magnus to kill like Demon Slayer's story-line arkarium?

also am I the only one who wishes that the dragon cannon thing gave dragon fury? it really sucks that you max it in 3rd job and never use it again.

you mean the summon?
Oh my god it's free attacks.
Put it down right on top of a boss, and it'll supplement your dps. Just pop it Right before you transform.

Not to mention depending on the size of the platform, it can practically solo said platform.

i know its free attacks, but its one every few seconds. i feel just wasting the time to drop it would be losing more damage not spamming gigas slash than the free damage you get from dropping the stone dragon.

Personally, I don't think losing a few seconds of damage for a summon is a big deal.

It also has a utility. It pulls. So if you can't pin, it'll help keep the boss in place.

Dragon Slash is dumb.

I can consistently train on mobs, almost 30 levels above me, just because of the sheer amount of hits it produces.

Well yeah. 11 hits in less than a second with great range and mobs...ring a bell? Demon slayer was op in early game for the same reasons.
