Hello everyone,

Do you think we will have a new class where you don't have to mash the ctrl button, such as a summoner, where you only need to keep your summons up and move around, cause my fingers are tired. Unless there's already some class that does that, and what is it? Which classes need to button mash the least in order? I am interested...

    MS doesn't have a summoning class per se; but if you start a Resistance character, you could decide to become a bot building Mechanic.

    These brilliant engineers of robotics ride in mech mounts building mechanical sentries to do their dirty work. Ever automata deployed earns you a stacking damage buff. Keeping your stacks up when your robots expire will make up a lot of your gameplay; in between adding your own bursts of Gatling gunfire to the frey.

    Why don't you just hold down button? MapleStory doesn't need multiple button taps, just holding it would do. Else, hold your keyboard button by trapping a coin somewhere between the keys. That works for me lol

    Sorry its not much of a help I believe xD

    Technically, that's not allowed, that's considered weight-keying / macroing of sorts. It's against the ToS.

    Some moves only work if you repeatedly tap the key (such as beast tamer's furious strikes or angelic buster's trinity)

    yes! a class with skill like kishin, but a lot of them, so that your summons attack for you, but people might try to afk level so make it you have to be moving for the summons to work or make them use mp or something.

    Xenon. They just hold down one button and can move while attacking. But, maybe its just a matter of personal taste.
    Phantom too. Same idea, with miles aguiles.

    Maybe you'll be interested in buccaneers. When you get 5th job, all you really do is jump around a map with lord the the deep active. However, this requires you to go through the painful levels of 1-200. You can try job changing, or wait for burning to come around again(which is soon i think). Bossing doesn't require button mashing either. Octopunch can be held down, but you do have to move every few seconds since lord of the deep ticks so fast that it hits the afk prevention thing very quickly.

    They could just make a class that uses 1-2 summons like in dragonsaga you get 2 summons 1 magic 1 melee and you control the skills they use or let them go all out.

    Maples take on summoner is...beast tamer...let that sink in for a few seconds...

    The closest thing to a (true) summoner is as others stated is kanna, kenshin at 3rd job and ice yokai maiden woman...at 5th job.

    I would say mechanic but they have so much going on you will be literally button mashing with them period XD
