Nexon gives us that so wanted KMS Luminous and suddenly people asks for the old one to come back.
Oh well.
Overall this system helped out your bossing a ton, and it makes more sense thematically. Not to mention it also makes training with luminous the tiniest bit less braindead. Overall a good change
The teleport is, honestly, the only real "what the hell, guys?" part of the change.
Yeah, no.
Noone would ever "choose" to use a dark skill or go into eclipse state, unless they had to, because Spectral Light had it beat for bossing and Reflection had it beat for mobbing.
Not to mention that you couldn't "choose" to switch states for 5 minutes after Light/Dark. 5 minutes! You could harvest more than 10 light/dark points in that much time, and you could only hold five!
Not much of a "choice" when you can't switch states freely anyway.
Your dps was crippled utterly because it was supposed to primarily come from equilibrium, and almost every buff lumi had since it released, for skills outside of equilibrium was done by making it so you spent less time GETTING to equilibrium. In other words, they've never seen a buff before this update, because none of them applied to CMS Luminous's Equilibrium system.
Heck, Apocalypse isn't even that bad for mobbing. It's just completely overshadowed by reflection. There are a ton of classes with less reach.
On top of that, Death Scythe is also a decent mobbing skill, and you'll be spending more time in Equilbrium than in Sunfire or Eclipse.
Speaking of which, I do believe that Equilibrium also buffs light and dark attacks, so you can still use Reflection during Equilibrium if you really wanted to.
If you don't want to, that must mean Death Scythe's even more effective at mobbing, so it's a buff all around (and a slight nerf to mobbing during Eclipse. and you're spending only a quarter of the time [if that] in Eclipse.)
And for bossing, you were never able to choose the best skill, because you could only spam it during equilibrium.
This is luminous as it should be: spending one third to half the time in equilibrium.
I'm not even a luminous main and I think this change is for the better.
I just know it's better by putting a little perspective.
*gasp* We have to use Apocalypse? The horror!
( teleport nerf sucks big time though...)
I don't feel like luminous before... but now I actually feel like playing Lumimous...
Lumi's 5th job skill is higly dependent on getting into equilibrium as much as possible and the supporting cores are only balanced for the KMS version of lumi. the proof of this is that CMS has also reverted their Xenon, Kaiser, AB, and Lumi to KMS versions.
And about the "Choice" thing, the Class is literally about not being able to completely control the powers of Darkness and having a balance of dark and light, neither of this things were apparent with our old system
the only thing I really want is the damage support for both dark and light
