The nerfs are justified but they're still really strong with them. Demon impact hitting max damage on bosses is still pretty easy. My friends are doing it already without the metamorphisis buff. True, forgot about that.
Also, DS starts with lvl20 Willpower, which equals +4% status resistance, making it 84% at start (when you have the buff active).
But still, with justice patch it can get back up to 80% again with training willpower, 60% more then any other class, afaik.
Oh I also forget their 30% avoid skill which heals them in the process... :+)

They're f`ucking terrible afterwards. Their DPS isn't the highest, but their gameplay is still one the best, also their survivability against end-game bosses is the best of any class in maple.
It's just what you prefer I guess...

No it isn't.
They nerf the healing skill, they nerf the status resistance, they nerf the damage, they nerf everything. It's a terrible class after that.

Know where I trained at from 38 to 46?
Muddy banks 2. So many mobs... Tire blobs & Elvis blobs.
I got to 70 and stopped after 3 days(no 2x or anything, and spent only increments, but..). Yay for 10% boss damage?

And then we wait another 6 months and they re-buff DS and Cannoneer.

But their gameplay / movement is like a merger of survival classes like Shadowers and Dark Knights, that gameplay doesn't get nerfed.

I leveled my Demon Slayer to 154, and I passed Binding Darkness 20, but failed Demon Impact 20.

They nerf the healing skill, they nerf the status resistance, they nerf the damage, they nerf everything. It's a terrible class after that. Yet, on a relative scale, they're still quite good.
As an example, take status resistance.
Yes, it lost a seemingly huge 20% chance to resist status, moving from 80% to 60%.
Guess what?
Unless I'm mistaken, that's still higher than any other class in the game.
They should have never have been the invincible, damage-dealing abominations they were in the first place.

Global thieves used to have that, before they nerfed avoidability hardcore. It kinda sucks how useless it is now.

So, should I head to Ludi Clocktower at 96? I guess I might try for an ABR recipe (more like as many as I can get), mainly for my Merc and to make one before summer.
