If BM is Battle Mage, i guess you haven't played it for along time. If you have played it always, you should know how they have removed unique skill (Twister) and change the Dark shock to activated when u do a teleport, They removed the teleport master instead. And they remove Twister, Union Aura etc. They added more cool down to Sweeping Staff. And they added more more cooldown to all. They try to slow down BAM (Battle Mage).I laid rest my Lumi because it's slow and now they nerf the teleport...one of Luminous speciality
I laid rest my Evan after the nerf
I laid rest my Bishop , because it's useful for HS only
I laid rest my Kaiser because of nerf
I laid rest Kanna, because it's usefull for Kishin only
I still only play my Battle Mage... It was once has a very good skill (Union Aura) , but they nerfed alot...3 times they have nerfed BAM. They take away the twister, they change some skill and add a new useless skil. If they nerfed it again..then i will rest for good..and will hybernate until Nexon learn from their mistake and they accept that every class has some special skills that others don't have. And i see how they hate Magician class alot .
Let's see...
Lumi = Exceptional amazing Bosser/Farmer
Bishop = Exceptional amazing farmer with low cooldown AoE + Bossing (Future Lucid)
Kaiser = Ranked 2nd in KMS DPS Chart.
Kanna = The only class that can use both 4x Fafnir set + X amount of SW set due to Haku's weapon slot...? Who's as close as Zero double potential weapons/stats? Wow?
BM = It's fine as it is... >_>
Now, let compared all your classes that you play with mine....
-Hero-
1) Nerf Multiple-times until their Raging blow isn't as good as it used to be (required 1.2x amount of funding to hit cap again).
2) Mid-Long cooldown AoE skills (Shout and Hyper typically) + Slow animation.
3) Crappy attack animation (regarding of both 1h and 2h attack speed).
4) Only has 1 main attack through all job advancements.
5) Sitting at the bottom of KMS DPS Chart.
6) Useless 5th job skill (Summon soul? Why not give us a shadow-partner like instead?).
7) Half-slow animation for Dash (Even with 0 Attack Speed Break cap).
8) Useless combo skill orbs? Compared to Paladin and Dark Knight who can hit 100% potential of their damage?
9) Panic + Puncture required to kill cap unless you have ton of $$$/Times to replace this. (Regarding of hitting cap without it).
I can go on if you like. I don't see what's wrong with the current Lumi and other classes except for Hero (The only explorer class that haven't receive much buff other than their main attack?).
