Axe fighters--when will we get balanced?

As you know, every class except Fighters and Sins (correct me if I'm wrong) got fixed in this balance patch. I am fully aware that Fighters are strong as it is, but what about us axe Fighters who work hard and get almost no payoff? I'm anticipating a lot of "You're a noob for choosing axe" and "Just restart with sword" comments, but no. Axe fighters chose axes because they wanted to. When will we get balanced? Axe Heroes work hard to level with less damage than swords when using Brandish, so why don't they get compensation? I've already noticed my axe Fighter's damage slowly dwindling in comparison to other Fighters of my level. I'm not trying to complain, really. I enjoy this new patch and I'm glad to see the weaker classes such as Pages and Slingers become stronger. However, I find it unfair that axe Fighters didn't get balanced when they've needed it for quite a while now. Come on; many of your guys' classes were improved, so isn't it fair for us to be? Maple should be a place enjoyed by all, not most.

You're not forced to use an axe..You're choosing to be weaker on purpose..

So they're leaving a class that's weaker in the game when they could easily just fix it?

Yeah, I don't even know why brandish was made so disadvantageous to axe users. I mean a slash/slash brandish would see axes get the bigger numbers, but the speed of axes =/= speed of swords (1h and 2h cases), so it balances out i guess?

Bishops also didnt get updated. I GREATLY AGREE that they need to balance brandish out at least... I am on the verge of making an axe hero and that would be a great delight. If not, ill enjoy it for what it is

Axe scrolls are cheap as dirt, more chances to scroll, easier to gain end-game weapons, rather than needing to be uber funded to play a decent hero. Factor of chance makes Maplestory more fun

@above STR mages are different, but I guess they're not fun since nobody really becomes them. [quote] jenny01317 : you could be a little more optimistic...

You're the only class in the game that uses Axes. I never see Axe-Fighters, so you're extremely rare, like Mano.

I guess they could make it so the damage is a bit more stable and beef the attack up of all Axes.

Nexon is totally going to read this thread. [/sarcasm] Why would you post it here if GM's rarely if anytime come look at these threads? I mean, they've got their hands tied with RavenSCA being hacked.
