An Unbalanced Game

MapleStory used to be a great game, but this idea of Legends is making the game unbalanced. Evans already practically make the Adventurer mages useless, except for Bishops and their HS/Heal/Party buffs. The only thing AMs have going for them is an ultimate without a cooldown and overall faster attacks, though the attacks are considerably weaker than Evans. I already seen Dual Blades on Youtube, and they practically obliterate any use of creating a Shadower. Their DPM is also comparable to that of NLs, but unlike NLs, Dual Blades can also mob very well. Arans, in my opinion, seem on par with Warriors, so Adventurer warriors are equal to Aran, but again, that's just how I see it. Many of you will say "Well, duh, they are LEGENDS, they are suppose to have a bigger potential." Now that is true, but they have too much potential and are too easy to level up. On the starter page, they supposedly are "difficult" to play and a slow "growth", which we all know is not true. Nexon should either make the Legends weaker, Adventurers stronger, or somehow make it so that Legends can't level up so fast ._. The only reason I see of why someone would create an Adventurer instead of a Legend is because they like the playing style of the Adventurer more, but still ...

What are you crying about? Seriously, do Evans have no CD AoE nuke? No. Do NLs have 2nd lowest DPM in game? Yes.

The cons to an Evan that you just stated does not make the Adventurer mage classes "useless". A cooldown to Evan's ultimate (which is not received till 160) is one of the biggest pains that Evans have in comparison to Bishops/AM's. As far as I've heard from rumors, Evans have a seemingly weaker damage comparison to AM's (I only recall reading the thread). As for Dual-Blades, we'll just have to see how the balancing goes with the balance patch; I can't say how all of it will work out.

I hope you know that all other Mages do more damage than Evan, and are, by the way, a HELL of a lot more fun to play. Out of everyone I've asked about Evan, they've all hated it, except like two or three. And even THOSE people plan on quitting after getting the glasses. Hell I don't think I can even tolerate the journey TO the glasses. Dual Blader only lasts a couple months. By then, if you don't get it to 120, then gratz, you're stuck at whatever job level you are forever. Yeah, real stacked. Not to mention their HP is crap. They're pretty good, but if they get touched by a Boss, they're dead. One might argue that they have invincibility frames, but those take getting used to, and are a lot of work to keep up. Because unlike other classes with low HP, but tactics to not die, Dual Bladers only have one shot at it, if you screw up even once, you die. Oh, and two words. Balance Patch. And if you already knew about it, then four words. Balance Patch Part Two. @Above, you forgot that Dark Fog doesn't even mob the whole map. It only has Horizontal range, so it wont hit above or below you.

[/quote] Let me make this quick.... if Legends are weaker, Adventurers are then making the game unfair because of their speed; if Adventurers stronger, that's alright, cause then Legends and Adventurers will be balanced; make Legends level slower? Well, I definitely agree with this, if making it harder for them to level, then there is absolutely no use of Legends whatsoever.

[/quote] The thing about Aran is that it's damage is spread out on mobs. So if you lower the 12-hitting mob to 6, like everyone else, then they're doing like double the damage on 6 monsters. And if you lower their damage overall, then they're just weak.

Everyone is over reacting, when pirates were coming out people were so pissed because gunslingers were supposidly the best now and NL's can go skrew themselves and bucc's would replace every worrior. Is that true now? No, becuase there's always more to it than meets the eye. Arans were coming out and EVERYONE was saying with those skills and %'s and dammage ranges and all that good stuff there is no job better. Although Arans keep up well at skele, they're just like any other worrior [cept the fact that if you play an aran you'll have arthritis by the time you're 18]. Evan's, very powerful, faster attackers too, but you have to consider the situations. Consider this example, a dark knight one shots a skele and does maybe 40k extra dammage, a Paladin one shots a skele but barely does enough dammage to do so, so does it matter whos doing more dammage if they're both one shotting? [I know it would matter on a boss but its an example*]
