I really do hope it is a typo and the requirement is level 200. That is at least doable. 250 and Nexon should probably be paying us to play since it seems like they want Maple to be a fulltime job.
Yeah, while I don't see a transfer happening, I also don't see many established players moving to EUReboot. The cost of restarting on a new server just outweighs the potential benefits. If the goal of the new Reboot server was to offload some of the population and provide a better service for EU players, I am suspect to Nexon's ability to accomplish this. It will be okay for new EU players so long as they are comfortable slogging through everything without any high level players help.
I don't think anyone here is under the delusion that the GMS team will fix Haku on their own accord but that our posts here, on Discord, Reddit or wherever else are done to bring constant attention to the issue in hopes that the GMS team will forward our complaints to the people at Nexon who can make a difference. As the saying goes: The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
With flames, Kannas are no longer drowning in a pool of their own blood but it isn't like it cured the underlying issues.
As to comparing Kanna versus Illium, or any other class; well, there isn't much point without knowing the specifics about each individual player. While each class plays differently and every person has different skill levels, if two players of similar stats were compared and there is a massive difference in completion time for a boss that can't obviously be disregarded as one player have vastly worse mechanics than the other, the two should have relatively similar times.
The best comparison I can think of for Haku is Hero's Advanced Combo Orb. A nerf to ACO, where the final damage is replaced with flat 10 attack per orb would mirror what happened to Haku fairly close. Yes, with all the 5th job skills and with flames, the class would still be playable but it would be an absolutely massive set back. This kind of overly broad "balancing" is lazy and unhealthy, but that is what happened to Haku. I consider Hero to be in a great position right now, and with the coming Black update, the class will get even better, but I don't really think it needs a nerf at this point. Should the time come for Hero's to be under the nerf spotlight, I hope that Nexon takes a far more nuanced approach.
No, you are going to have to level Yuki up. Inner abilities, Legion effects, etc. that increase buff duration don't affect things like Hyper Skills, 5th Job Skills and any other skills that specifically states so.
What I don't know is how Node Slot upgrades from the V Care patch next week is going to affect things like duration. Potentially you may be able to get a slight duration increase that way as well since it is raising the level of the node in that particular slot.
Assuming you have just a level 1 Yuki node and you level up a Node Slot to 5, you'd effectively have a level 6 Yuki. That would increase the duration from 35 seconds to 38 seconds.
