So a few days ago, I had an idea in Maplestory Reddit's Discord chat.
This was largely due to a discussion about 5th job skills.
Seeing that Hayato's 5th Job skills haven't been revealed, I decided to
take a swing at what they could be. I have 4 concepts:
1. Kamikaze (largely a joke skill)
Take 100% HP damage. Strikes up to 4 enemies 10 times for 100,000% damage. 100% critical hit chance. 100% PDR. Ignores Cancel Weapon Attack and DR. Cannot revive/be revived for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 180 seconds.
2. Bloodied Grip
Lose 2% of HP a second. Increase total damage by 10%, double all lines per attack (ie. Shinsoku hits 4 times instead of 2), and attack speed +1. Toggle skill, cooldown from from expiration or toggling off: 120 seconds.
The below concepts are based on the idea that, during the 5th job quest, you have to make a decision between which philosophy you choose.
3. Legendary Essence: Masamune
Critical Hits have a chance to double-crit (ie. bonus critical damage applied twice). Chance is equal to 50% of current critical hit chance.
Ex.
Critical Hit Chance: 100%
Bonus Critical Damage: 90%
VVV
Double Critical Chance: 50%
Total Critical Damage: 180%
4. Legendary Essence: Muramasa
Empowers the effects and duration of Willow Dodge and Jinsoku.
Ex.
Base Stats:

Level 30: Trigger Chance: 45% after avoiding an attack, Damage Reduction: 72%, Duration: 8 sec. Permanently increases Avoidability by 50%

NOTE: These are insanely OP and I know that. I was wondering what, if possible, would balance these compared to the other 5th job skills.
