..and the reason why GMS will get a different patch, if they get one at all, to KMS in terms of Mages. I'm fairly confident that AMs won't get updated, well at least they wont get improved. The reason for KMS' AMs having their ultimates upgraded is because of two things. The lack of Elemental Wands/Staffs and subsequently severely lower damage for the AMs compared to GMS. Secondly, the lack of NLCs cheap potions. AMs in KMS have to shell out alot more money when repotting compared to other versions that have 60% Mana healing from Mana Bulls in NLC. Notice that Bishops didn't get an upgrade in KMS, because they have just as much power as AMs and more perks with HS and other party buffs. I could see Bishops getting a couple of their skills "pimped", as unlikely as it is, it is still more likely than AMs.

Hopefully they balance out the Pirate class. We are weak as heck.

While KMS got rid of the HS exp cap in response to the party exp change (this did not apply in GMS), priests took a big hit. Heals damage needs to not suck as much as it does, and shining ray needs a power/speed boost so they can train on their own as well as other classes.

Heal's mastery is something like 30% when maxed, and it only hits 5 enemies (proven).

[quote] djp2313 : We've gone through re-balancing before. AMs received their upgrades. GMS is a copy paste type of server - they don't actually look at the changes they just implement them. [/quote] If it's a copy paste type server then how come we don't get everything kms gets in 2-4weeks? There are plenty of korean translators why do we get evreything a little later?

[quote] FreeWii4Mii : am ultimate + amp + ele wands > genesis still, people prefer bishops because of hs [/quote] thats the point, bishops should not have a balanced patch because they have skills like hs, heal, res... but the comparative damage early on, AM's should be up there, not the same lvl as bishops.

[quote] freeziecraazed : brandish should be balanced for axes and BWs should be better for Paladins. ): [/quote] Fixed. I'm still a little mad Heroes didn't get a boost besides rush, they could have at least done something , even if it was as simple as making Shout do more damage. Btw, why don't we get a dark attribute with Panic? [i]Attack a single monster using dark powers. This skill can only be used when equipped with a sword and the combo all charged up. [/i]

Bishop are just fine, but idk why AMs are complaining they are already stronger then bishop even on holy weak monsters they are stronger then them. The only thing AMs need it an upgrade in damage for their 1v1 skills and lower mp cost for their ultimates which is what they got. If you ask me cleric and priest deserve a push espically due to the changed exp rate, training as a priest now its terrible. @above, what do heroes possibly want more? Your already the strongest close range class in the game PLUS you can mob and train very well. What kind of balancing do you guys want? Drks are extremely slow and they need to have berserk on (40% hp or lower) just to be able to almost match your damage, paladins were just overall weak so they needed that boost, heroes have it so easy.

[quote] Blackmanrific : The only thing AMs need it an upgrade in damage for their 1v1 skills [/quote] Why? F/P mages have the best magic 1v1 attack until level 170+.
