and since your mentionning link skills
would be nice if they buffed Resistance links a little..they feel underwhelming
in addition to current effect why not add the following ?
+1% Burst skills dmg Rank 1....+2% Burst Skills dmg(Rank 2)
total of 10% at lvl 10
Burst dmg would include all skills dealing dmg with a 2 mins or longer cooldowns(including Origin)
still want them to make a Lightning Dragon Nova
wouls want a Nature Dragon too : (come with a 30 sec cd skill that can pull ALL mobs on the map to you)
and a Wind Dragon
and and....a Space Dragon ? able to create voids that suck nearby enemies in
your "fifth issue" though, thats just speculation untill proven...although color cosmetic would not be bad
already exist
Kaiser(Earth,Fire Dragon)
Angelic(Arcane Dragon)
Kain(Dark Dragon)
Cadena(???? dragon(Metal dragon ? idk))
Evan(Onyx, all elements)..although thats not a Nova :S
idk but they at least introduced coupon to choose between the 2 for now(i'am already glad for that)
if they add a system to break them down into fragments it should cost enough to be sacrifice on the Sol Erda itself....or hold off a little b4 they make it an equivalent exchange
currently i think the exchange should be at most
1 Sol Erda for 5 Fragment
and later down the line it could be made to be about
1 Sol Erda for 9 Fragments
once you reach Chaos Root Abyss point you "never" solo again from there onward
even Hard Magnus
well you may be able to solo once you outgear greatly these bosses(Chaos Root Abyss/Hard magnus) up to normal Lotus/Damien)
unless your that person who like 29 mins fights(love to suffer)
and when you get to Lucid/Will forget soloing those 2 for a rly rly long time.....bosses further beyond are in a whole other league..both in difficulty and gear requirement
your still at the joke bosses stage right now
also i can't recomment playing 3 accounts.....to get real progress you need ALL 49 classes at lvl 200 on a single acc......250 if your extremely dedicated
unlocking legion grid and filling it is a must for a huge dps boost
for working ppl such feat take like 2 year with like 5 hours investment a day
multi-account was necessary though in the old maple story to play all classes...its no longer a need to have multi-acc other than to have buffers(soon to be made pointless too))
on a final note: if you insist to solo all the way....i hope for you that your a super-elite player in the 0.5% of the player base ....although its still punishing if you want to see the end-game asap
also let me put it simple for you
Step 1: get 2 char to lvl 200 ASAP(you want at least 2 char able to boss)...if possible get CRA carried for gear asap(join a guild supporting newbies)
having 2 char with decent gear mean you can start working on your mesos income a bit....if a hyper burn event is active get a char to 260 but do not bother
working on your sixth job untill you got a full set of AbsoLab gear with 17 stars......the 260 areas are a very very serious health ramp up
you would take 10-15X the time to complete sixth job if you try to unlock it without solid gear/legion power...so be smart about this dont let greed make you choose pointless efforts for a small extra gain
Step 2: get your legion level to 8000 for max stats gain......you can worry about 9000 later.....beyond 9000 legion power its too much effort for a lot of players.... so if absurd grind is not for you dont try.....otherwise currently 10,000 legion is the hightest viable but i can't recommend it....to be completly honest.....dont lvl any alt beyond 220 without hyper burn...wait out hyper burn events for 220-260...you get lots of nodestone for fifth job if you dont rush too quickly...and 220 is a good stop at to get chill Lotus/Damien carries when your at 8k legion without making your carrier suffer too much
Step 3: get more boss mules going so you can expend your mesos income massively....total of 11 boss mules are needed to turn in 180 weekly bosses crystals
getting your first 4 rolling is the hardest part(including your main).....after that they become self-sustening once u got all 11 in full AbsoLab at 17 stars gear
....if you dont have time to clear with 11 chars weekly then go with an amount that fit your playtime
Step 4: ....well here is a crossroad of your choice(most players would choose path 1 from there)...but do as you wish
Path 1: choose a char to main and lvl toward lvl 290
Path 2: gear the remaining 38 class in full 17 stars AbsoLab to increase your legion coins income further so you can buy flames stones to get high quality bonus stats on your gear, drop rate tix at disposal 100% of the time
...regardless of Path 1&2......once you get to this point finish getting your legion to 9000 for the last gains in stats
would not be surprise if that flora archer would have a skill with flying arrow circling around them XD
unless they going with some other range weapon
........
also still want that lightning silver dragon for Nova ...one which can actually fly forever in combat..(at least 30 sec flight with 10 sec cd very least)
gotta admit...he's mastering the art of how to kill the player base
also quite dissapointed at Blaze Wizard nerf...just when i'am starting to enjoy my own Blaze Wiz too :S
and all those classes buff....i'am not entirely sure but isn't he creating some overpowered cases ????
..lets hope Inkwell mitigate that KMS director damage in some way
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
EDIT: for once that i dont read patch info fully....i got misled a bit there
so Blaze Wizard is not a massive nerf to itself, its a massive nerf as group support(60%-->40% dmg for that flame rune circle)
i actually sough a quick shortened answer about it from youtube comment as i didn't want to sit trough a 23 mins videos
and the comment i found from the yt user posted "massive nerf to blaze wizard" XD
well then....still a little sad but eh..i can cope with that 1 to Blaze Wizard
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
as for Bishop i'am not a Bishop expert but....i would put my faith in Fuhreak if he think Bishop needed a tone down
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
well i got a little too hasty to jump on the bandwagon this time XD.....
although that doesn't excuse what he did to KMS reboot
