Are KoC Really Overpowered?

At First i thought they were but after research i realize they're not that strong - KoC don't exactly get 4th job skills at 3th job, they actually get them late 3rd job. For Example, Wind Breakers get Bow Expert at 110. Each KoC has a skill restricted at lvl 100 and one at 110. -KoC skills are downgrade. Dawn Warriors' Brandish max out at 240% instead of 260%. Flame Wizards flame arrow max at 90 base atk and 45% mastery instead of 120 base atk 60% mastery. Other downgraded skills include coma, panic, fist, shockwave etc -Koc gains new skills on top of essential skills for their job means tighter sp distribution. Example, Night Lord Second job to max all skills require 150 sp but you only get 121. This mean you'd have to abandon about 2 skills anyways. I won't deny Knight's 70 extra ap up till level 70 could possibly make up for degrades skills on certain levels but aren't the classes we already have like this already? Like how mages and sins are typically stronger 25- early second job and how gunslingers are incredibly weak till 3rd job but eventually become the highest (debatable) DPS 4th job. I'm just giving my 2 cents, you're all welcome to disagree but plz refrain from flaming.

Of course they have an early advantage, but what can you do with a lvl 120 that has nerfed skills?

My momma says: KoC isn't overpowered, just flashier. The extra AP does a lot, but it's short lived. Plus, first job has rarely anything new. They look cooler, though, and we all know how important looks are in Maple. :P *coughnxcough*

All I know is that 12 bonus attack and a lvl 120 Speed Infusion mule is not a bad deal.

It not overpowered, from wat i seen in the skill guides their skill % jump up and down and r quite nerfed. the kocs will disturb the balance of the economy for a short time but it will just go back to normal with the addition of the koc class after 2-3 weeks. kocs r shorty lived since it only goes up to 120 so most pros wont probably make godly kocs due to it level limit and nerfed skills.

Love2bealone said: " XD a lvl 120 mule... might as well get a char to 4th job" problem with that is unlike those bonuses via thunder breaker, they can't apply to a normal 4th jobber. so it kinda make more sense to do a lvl 120 Koc mule with early benefits then a normal character. @moonbrigade: Depends on the person funding said character. such as me i can basically fund my eventual wind archer with zero money spent with my equips alone, and once i get it to 120 i can just swap it all back with zero cost. in other words a godly KoC jsut waiting to happen =3.

KoC is to benefit your main. That's the best it can do.
