It takes skill to play as a sin

Playing as a sin takes a lot of skill. Sure we have an advantage in speed, but with all the challenges from ks haters, we got to keep up our guard to protect (or take) channels. Also, for those who like "variety", throwing in Disorders when you're surrounded (low levels) or using DS to evade when FJ isn't possible does make a difference. And don't forget about Drain - who says we don't have variety. Although, we have the ABILITY to take it easy (which other classes lack and envy with their "no variety" comments), it is clear that variety is an option we can follow through. Besides, all we do is gain skills, since the only one we "throw away" is L7. In the end, all classes boil down to 1 or 2 main skills. Classes who claim "variety" are usually forced to use a set of skills anyway (eg. Snipe and Strafe, Brandish and Rush, Cannon and Freeze etc.). Can't say much to Buccaneers or the Aran class - kudos to them. Unlike most classes, we lack a stun or freeze (until NS) but we make it up with our speed and skill. Who agrees?

Kyensho : NOTHING takes skill in Maple Story. That may be true... but do you see many sins as the very first character that they created being successful? Or it it like thier 3rd or 4th character?

You forgot dits have a ridiculous variety of skills. Sins just don't. They spam L7. They don't even use Avenger... the range is tiny. All other skills for sin look exactly like L7 in terms of motion.

Sins HAVE variety, you'r eright in that, but most sins don't use it, since there's no point in it. Spamming L7is better than spamming Avenger. So, in other words, sins are easy.

All other skills for sin look exactly like L7 in terms of motion. When training, I use L7 (yes, I use it the most because it does the best damage), Avenger, drain and flash jump. If you aren't able to use drain well, you'll either die or make training very costly. If you can't use avenger well, you will hardly kb enough to maintain distance to the monsters -> getting hit more. Same goes for flash jump. I'm not saying that sins are loaded with different skills, I am saying that there's more to it than jumping and pressing the L7 button.

Bottom mob skelegons map. Training with Bish/AM, you get a build up of skeles. You use NS and avenger to mob. Avenger > L7 when you have about 3+ monsters in line.

ROFL. so what who cares if they are easy all classes are easy its just takes a lot of time and patience there's absolutely no skill in this game involved and why take the hard way if you can go the easy one, even when someone thinks sins are more fun , just lett them play sins then who cares?

I agree but some of the overfunded dexless sins must do something about their attitude. Thats the only thing that bothers me of them. Btw i was gonna say buccs DO use a variety of skills but as i saw u already added that xP

ExtraYum : That may be true... but do you see many sins as the very first character that they created being successful? Or it it like thier 3rd or 4th character? due to lack of funding my 2nd char was a dexless sin and i still have it all sp and ap applied correctly and i can plaay it very well. P.S. i didnt get sin for dmg, i just chose it cause i saw FJ and i just had to have it xD P.S.S. also when i started i had no funding apart from like 5M i had from my cleric (back then that was almost enuf to buy 8atk tho =P) which was mostly poured into pots. I chose dexless because i didnt wanna lag behind with the normal sins so i figured if i go dexless i should be doing same dmg and a reg dex who has money.
