    You should try Princess No questline so you can play Kanna, Hayato and Ayame class.

    @Petalmagic I dont remember Francis being a nice guy in Black Heaven.

    I don't know about Black Heaven, but he's a crybaby in the Phantom questline.

    Didn't it used to say they don't train thieves as well as warriors, before the blaster update? Text events can easily be changed, it doesn't mean much as far as I can tell?

    Resistance Thief could maybe come out, but I don't have high hopes. But certainly a higher chance than Ayame.

    I have, that still doesn't change what I said. They're not going to create an Ayame class considering the new common skill has Ayame as a summon, and there's no way they're going to put in extra effort to fix it.

    I think they can do a thief Resistence, but it certanly won't be a pupeter, thiefs are swifts and with a suprising attack that you wouldn't expect, a Puppeter is actually the oposite, very slow and hardly moves since he uses others to help him in battle, similar to Bear mode in Beast Tammer, but better.

    A puppeter would be better as a magican, maybe a style of outside of any group(like Jett, Bt and Zero), or in the Nova branch, since they are so unique seens more possible there, you havily uses Francis model who should be a magican.

    Resistences use mechanical equipments to help em in battle, things that aren't dependent on spirit, magic or similar(like the explorer magican), it's cientific and something anyone could use.

    I was thinking the puppeteer class could control mobs, "stealing" their consciousness, if you will. And if they attack with their strings, I think that would be a pretty quick attack speed. As for the Resistance theme of scientific alternatives... What about wild hunter or battle mage? It seems somewhat inconsistent.

    I need to look carefully at Battle Mage skill animations except the character itself when looking at some screenshots, but as for WH it's obvious to see some mechanical effect skills, like the jaguar monture, turret skill on 3rd job and giant missile on 4th job. Also it's Lv170 hyper skill on bossing mode I think. I have a Lv176 WH, so I can look after maintenance, stopped playing it for a while.

    But I find some pictures of Battlemage and the skills since their major revamp.

    I think it falls under the caategory of "steampunk" rather than "mechanical", imo. I think that could be easily incorporated into a puppeteer class. And it's just an idea, so if you have any improvements to add to the idea, I'm open to critique and suggestions.

    Id say something to do with gears or something similar to Rikku from FFX and FFX-2, the al bhed are somewhat steam punk and rikku looks like a thief class. Itd fit with Claudine being a doctor since alchemy can be used to heal and attack, and rikku uses alchemy/chemistry to mix items to use to either attack or heal.

    Imagine if Phantom was a resistance thief this whole time, who also happened to be a hero, worked for the resistance to gain intel from the cygnus knights while also having in mind to steal the jewel but falls in love with Empress Aria and because of it get's booted from the resistance for being in love with the then-called enemy... The perfect Maplestory Romeo and Juliet story!

    Claudine, I believe, has a knife and a whip. I think it would be cool to get something like that.

    I agree with @ChingTheMonkey - Claudine is a butter knife user. :^)

    This has been confirmed to be the knife Xenon gives to her as a child :P I don't think she's a 'butter knife user', per se.

    It's a standalone thief-pirate hybrid class. By that reasoning, the mechanic shouldn't exist, lol. Instead of trying to shut me down, why not post some suggestions for a resistance thief? ^w^

    Guys, the new Nova thief in KMST uses a whip-like chain, so a resistance thief wouldn't do the same. :o

    Wait so the Nova class gets a new thief job when the Sengoku guys don't? That's stupid, they have a perfect basis for one with ninjas and everything.
    I still think they could do something with both the whip and the knife though. I don't know, the Resistance seems pretty technology based, maybe they could be something like Batman.

    If we are sticking to a steampunk theme and Edelstein's gear-shaped logo, one idea for a thief could be to use cog shaped bladed yo-yos to swing at enemies using complex tricks (i.e "walk the dog", "gravity pull", "around the world").

    If we were to based a class of off Claudine, her whip and trickery disguises are more akin to a "Rakshasa"; Shiftshaping demons who are able to confuse and manipulate foes (like a puppeteer). Not quite sure how that would fit in with the whole steampunk Victorian era though.

    Nova is KMS content, Sengoku is JMS content, course nova gets one before JMS , It's also pretty badass looking.
