Re: MapleStory

Haha oh wow.

That infinite mana thing has to be a joke.

I cannot think of a single thing that it can cost to use (other than EXP) that makes it suck. Drains HP? It's called "Heal". Drains MP, wait no. Makes you weak? Who cares?!

That sounds like the cheapest skill for mages, ever. Basically telling Priests "Put on Magic Guard and you will never die if you heal every once in a while".

The catch might be that it doesn't work with Magic Guard, perhaps? Or maybe Priests don't get it?

Re: MapleStory

The thief skills suck. Ugh. Though I saw a vid and it was doing like 17k damage to a monster randomly in middle of attacks. Who knows... Doesn't seem that great. :/ Plus it won't work on bosses obviously.

Short length + long cooldowns? Stupid. Oh and the smokescreen doesn't move. It should follow the CB. Plus the minute long for 200 stars? Uhhh... That's about what I use normally is 200 stars a minute. >_>

Bowmen get even more insane... wtf is that bs mastery? 90% AND 10 weapon attack, along with these other insane skills like hurricane and that ranged pkb? omfg.... -__________-; So jealous. But lol they need maxed mastery and all bowmen leave it at 19.

**ckj846** · 11-10-2006, 12:22 PM

Re: MapleStory

What. More mastery for bowman? I don't know if that is completely useless or INSANEEEEEEEEEEE. Depends on how much it raises our minimum damage, that could be godly with critical... Oh geeze. They really buffed up hermits and mages AGAIN. Sigh...
O_o
EDIT: It is very easy to add one point to mastery or use a SP reset haha. Oh, and I think that poison is overpowered... Fire hawk is almost useless because it is faster to rain/inferno/bomb/whatever then to have your hawk attack and NOT STUN. Attracting the monsters isnt' very good for rangers, esepcially since we aren't that great close combat. And, bandit and I think oppositely haha.

**Bahamut-X** · 11-10-2006, 01:26 PM

Re: MapleStory

Great, some gay skill that stuns a monster for 2 seconds when using a shield, which no one uses. NOT TO MENTION CB STUNS 6 MONSTERS AT 250% DAMAGE FOR LIKE 3 TIMES THE STUN OF THIS USELESS SKILL.

Wizet needs to stop going all out on bowman and think about other classes. This is great motivation to play. I want NEW ATTACKS WIZET, THIS GAME ISN'T FUN WITH ONLY POWERSTRIKE AND SLASHBLAST. In all seriousness if they keep coming up with these ****ty skills for every class but bowman I;m quitting this game.

**banditcom** · 11-10-2006, 02:26 PM

Re: MapleStory

Well, that rush skill owns for warriors and it's for all of them now. But it's mostly amazing for the other 2 classes than yours. :/ Since buster is so sweet or can use fury on them after they are all grouped up. Or a hero uses it to put them all together AND it builds combo... Then using a 10 combo coma on them? Sick.

Currently, WKs are getting screwed over though.

Things will change. I wouldn't worry too much. Seems they are focusing mostly on the bowman class and getting them set while dabbing here and there in the other classes.

**Necamus** · 11-10-2006, 02:49 PM

Re: MapleStory

What's this cool down bull****? 40 seconds, then a ten minute cool down? Fourth job skills should NOT have a cool down period.

**ImEric12** · 11-10-2006, 02:59 PM

Re: MapleStory

Oh man sweet.

Ice hawk is probably useless, yeah.

But I'm definitely throwing another point into Mastery. This is definitely motivation to play the hell out of this char... 90% mastery, critical hope, ranged pkb... <333333333333. I don't even know what I'd max first!

**Squeek** · 11-10-2006, 04:53 PM

Re: MapleStory

That's...

So lame...

Of all the things I thought they'd do to make the skill actually balanced, that would probably have been on the bottom of my list. At least make it last for like 5 minutes!

10 minute cooldown... That's worse than the freakin' mini-haste that does absolutely nothing. And the Heal skill.

GG Wizet. Put some better cards on the table.

**evilbutterfly** · 11-10-2006, 05:14 PM

Re: MapleStory

The 10 minute cooldown wouldn't be so bad if it lasted for ~200 secs like most things. 40 secs is pretty pathetic. ESPECIALLY for the anti-status effect spell (which is only decent if it protects against dispel, since dispel fixes everything else).

Keeto: It says it blocks monster attacks at a certain success rate. If that success rate is very high, this may just be reason to have a shield/1Hsword combo to switch into for hard stuff.

And uh, I kinda figured mages would get some sort of summoned monster. That Ice Mage's summon was doing 3XXX damage to red centaurs. Are red ones ice-weak? Either way, that's weak, but if that is 1.5x damage to ice-weak monsters then 3XXX damage is just SAD, especially with that DK pulling 10k+ per hit. =\

I wonder how much Hard Skin does. It seems like Wizet is all about adding some crazy defensive skills for us in 4th job. o_O
