Alrite so I already know a lot of you complain about arans being overpowered, so if your going to say anything like that please refrain from posting things like that in here. So I'm pretty pissed about that kmst patch. It might not even come to gms but if it does Ima be hella pissed some of my attacks are literally cut in half-_- some of you probably think it's great this is happening to arans but I being an aran most definitely hate it just thought I'd share my thoughts with the rest of basil and other arans

yeah i agree that arans should be rebalenced now because it's people who think these is like sins from old era like sin ksing ksing... dood it needs a change off the ksing and put them right in them with combos....

You guys realise that the triple combo is actually stronger?

Calculations are being redone... who's the say the percents aren't just adjusted to be about equal with the new calculations? Maybe a slight nerf, maybe a normal sized nerf, but I am sure it's not as bad as you think it is.

yeah i totally agree with you..combo smash 500% , fenrir 450%? TEMPEST IS 600% WHAT IS THIS! IF THATS BALANCING NO WONDER ARAN GOT PWNED By THE BLACK MAGE......i think aran should not have been touched...aran is a good class...ok so if we deal 700% damage we have to hit a monster 30 times to do it so its worth it!.....if they had to balance it they could have increase combos needed and still that would be outrageous...still i m hell dissapointed

Seriously it can't be that that bad... first the actual change has not be inplemented in the official kms and who knows if they might modify it and other stuff... But I am kinda disappointed too... dmg % went down by a lot, what makes me sad is mastery, 65% HIGH mastery at max? or crit rate at 100 combo down to 30% .... I really don't care that much about fenrir, or smash, maybe a bit about tempest though since you ussualy hold your combos to keep high dmg and high crit... But another thing that must be taken in a fact is the new dmg formula change and how our swings are stronger now, so maybe it CAN'T be THAT bad. So I am going to keep on going with my aran.

[quote] angelmois : You guys realise that the triple combo is actually stronger? [/quote] Yes, we do. Full/Overswing is increased by a measly 10-20% per hit. Final Charge got doubled, though it isnt supposed to be for dmg anyways. Toss got increased alot. I might chain that on to Fullswing now. Thats the only good thing i see, really. Combo Smash lost 200% Combo Fenrir lost 700% Tempest lost 3600% And Combo Critical. Oh boy. a 70% chance for 200% damage became 40% chance for 110% damage. This literally cuts our damage in half.

Aran killed faster than any other non-Mage class. Aran had a better potential DPM than most classes. Aran had the second fastest leveling from 1-120, and continue to be a fast leveler (but not fastest) from 120-200. You guys deserved a nerf.

Arans are powerful. I think we can admit that right off of the bat. I am not one to throw around %'s, or one to argue about dps tables, but arans have some powerful skills under their belts, and some great versatility as well. Some might argue that they are overpowered, and these people will back up their arguments with charts and graphs and will sound pretty convincing to everyone that arans are the #1 dps class there is. This may be true, and to that I respond that some class has to be #1. The question we must ask ourselves, how powerful is overpowered? Is there a single % line that has been crossed? No, a powerful class will still be powerful on either side of that line. Dispite the.... downgrades... to arans that are currently in effect in the test server, I can assure you that arans will still be powerful. What class has the ability to get 100% crits? What class can hit 12 monsters at once, almost every second? Is there a warrior class out there with the same level of mobility that arans have? What about the level of potential they can achieve? These things will remain the same no matter what nexon does to balance the classes. So, for now, people can complain about their class being nerfed, they can whine and hope for better times, but what it all boils down to, is a single question. Do you feel your class is powerful? Do you feel your class is fun? If so, do not worry, nexon cannot take that away from you. If not, why did you play it in the first place? The reason that people pay so much attention to damage charts, and complain so much about any and all patches, is that they are not happy with their class as it is now. And keep telling themselves that, maybe the next balance patch will make this fun. But the real answer is, if it is not fun now, what can a simple % change on attacks do to make it so? The opposite is true as well. If it is fun now, and a change in damage can make it not fun, was it really fun to begin with? There are those who will quote this, saying that I do not know what I am talking about. There are those who will continue to be angry because times are changing, because their class is no longer #1 on the dps charts, or that their favorite skill now has a cool down, or that nexon is ruining the game. But in the end, it is a simple matter of contentness with what one has now, and an acceptance of what is to come, that brings true happieness in maplestory. There are no horrible changes, nexon is not changing the game into something bad, it is simply change. And like it or not, change will happen. Will you change with it?
