hope u guyss enjoyed itt.. spent literally a whole day working on this LOL jeez

I imagine they would be the Taru and the Dragon Ninja clan?

Only one problem, KMS doesn't have NLC.

alright i finsihed @ 3 am !! not bad hehe

Revealing the new class i came up with!

Dancers of New Leaf City!

They look pretty! Awesome animations too!

You rock!

Wow. I'm really impressed. These are awesome!
I like the two different styles of dance, and each having their own unique playing style. Really liking the Figurant branch, with the healing moves and fans (which are badass). Also, Graceful Dance and Solo sound really cool. It's like having to perform an actual dance.
...But Acrobat branch also looks amazingly fun. Sprinting everywhere with your bboy crew and windmilling everything to death?! YESPLZ.
A suggestion I have for the Acrobat branch is, for 3rd job, you could give them a passive increase to Stomp. Otherwise, your only attacks require sprinting, which isn't great when bossing or when a monster is really close to you.

A-Maz-ing! *standing ovation*
Very Creative! I really love both characters.

These are great, specially the animations, I love that kind of animations.
I see one important flaw though, first job only has kick attacks, which leaves the fan user using normal attacks until second job, the fan dancer can probably use the other weapon until level 3x, but most classes that use different weapons have one skill for each weapon on first job.

thanks for the suggestion! i made a new skill to make up for the lack of attack skills in 3rd job for 1v1 thanks
Airflare Kick

I wanted to make the skills useable by both jobs similar to Archer jobs, 1 skill is a 1v1 and the other is a mob skill hehe


thanks guys for your suggestions and feedback! you are all very kind!

These are great. Send them to Nexon, now.
I want an acrobat liek NOW.

Looks very nice, but with the current sprites maplestory characters have, this class would need to add a LOT to make them look even somewhat fluid. I remember people thought sumersault kick back in the day was impressive because it was so outside the norm concerning character animations, and that was only ONE skill. (And even then, it's not that impressive, it's just the "swim" animation rotated 90 degrees for each frame if i remember correctly.) You need to remember that adding animations outside of the standard set requires Wizet/Nexon to ALSO animate every existing item the dancer class/subclasses can wear. Considering this also takes into account every class equip they can wear, this also includes every single Cash Shop equip.

That is a mountain of work for poor Wizet/Nexon.

Ohmygod I LOVE these! SO much! The animations are fun to look at. Would be interesting to see that implemented into actual Maple sprites.

4th Job seems to lack in attack skills, though. They both seem to only have one attack, unless I missed something.

Only one problem, KMS doesn't have NLC.

they kinda fit with ariant too

also really nice idea

I would love the dancer classes to death if they were like this. One question though, what is their main and secondary stat? I would guess dex and int for Figurant and dex and str for Acrobat.

Why are you so amazinggggggg

I was like "someone should implement this into a private server". Then I thought about how hard it would be to make these animations, on top of all the class quests, a new area to go with it, and to top it all off, the fact that you can't add new jobs to the data; you'd need to edit client side information too. Ahhhhh

Send it to nexon right now.

I am super serial. I fell in love with both these classes from the first GIF. the animations... the balanced skills.. the weapons, seriously.
Why aren't you working for nexon? D:

Since when would nexon do anything about it. At most they'd take it without credit. This isn't valve. :c

Meh, you won't know until you try. but meh, if it was sent to them, they probably would just start developing a totally original "Circus" brand of characters like the resistance >_>

I would play the soloist
