I think treating Classic MapleStory as an alternative reality of what if the game went off in this direction instead trying to recreate the past makes it so much more interesting and fun, and would make players want to keep playing it long term.

Most notably brand new areas to explore that further expands Victoria Island and brand new job we never gotten before would make classic world so much more fun and exciting to play!

This will be a for fun post of two new job concepts for a much needed role that was and still is severely lacking for support jobs.

One concept will be a magician forest-healer where it will have a deer / deer-like creature with a slightly similar aspect to Wild Hunter where you can mount and dismount the deer.
While mounted, the support skills and mobility goes way up, but the damage plummets so that you are very focused on getting around the map and helping your party members, and while dismounted you gain the bare minimum movement so that you can deal way more damage and still able to support at the same time (but the support skills are weakened).

The second concept will be a warrior thorns-tank where you are slow and low damage, but basically is unkillable as the monsters slowly kill themselves attacking you.
You will scale off of HP as the main stat and to make this class not always be immortal, you get two modes to be in of Unbreakable and Berserk, while in Berserk mode you takes significantly more damage and deal significantly more damage. You can also taunt monsters for a lengthy duration, including forcing all boss attacks to only attack you, which while taunted the monster deals significantly more damage to you as well.

NOTE: I will create a kit for the first 4 job levels, despite 4th job not being a thing in this case, and probably not even 3rd job.
Everything will be based on mastery level.

NOTE: All skills are affected by cooldown reduction, chance to cooldown skip, and buff duration for if or when these stats become available.

FEEDBACK CHANGE:
Originally had the buffs where only one can apply at a time on a long duration and static power the whole time.

New effect is now all buffs can be applied at the same time, but to add skill expression and make the gameplay more interesting as a buffer, the buffs start out extremely powerful so you choose when to use them to really help out your party to be meaningful impactful and decrease in power over time.

Short durations and cooldowns applied so that the player is punished with poor use of the buffs and rewarded by using the buffs well at the right time.

Another change was Magical Leafs originally was a strong and weak version of a hurricane skill, but this direction would make this job feel like a true support version of Wild Hunter. So instead you scatter a bunch of leafs and they attack monsters around you, each leaf attacks only 1 monster and then it disappears, with the difference between the two modes is one prioritizes attacking all the monster around you and the other tries to focus its leafs into one monster so the mobbing/weaker damage form and the other as the bossing/stronger damage form.
