so i read the new kmst patch thing and i understand most of it exept for those 2 jobs, i really want to know how it affect them because bandit is my favorite class and bucc is close behind... they seam to both get a nice boost but how much of a change is it really? What does that do for them in the dpm chart? do they lose anything? will the builds change? EDIT: ok i get it, shadower get a huge boost but what about buccaneer? no one even talked about them, why are people classist like that? tyvm

[quote] JunSama : Bishops are major support classes. • Holy Symbol now makes normal parties spectacular for people who actually pull-their-own-. • No one ever said training parties can't be 4+ I remember training at Forest-Of-Golem, and making a party of 5+. That's right, FIVE+! And... The exp are just plain awesome. If you consider that with friends instead of leech-buyers or strangers, this is lots of fun. • Though, I do recognize this will take some time to get used to. Most of GMS is addicted to leech, power-hungry, and will probably most die inside from withdrawal symptoms. However, the ones who make it through the adjustment will be the best of the best. =P The point is comparing Ultimates to ArchhMages/Bishops usually attacking skills. From the chart, you can see that when you deal with mobs, or single-targets: Ultimates suck.

Yes, it's really a good thing to compare an ultimates damage in DPS to a single target boss.. That's like, the most stupid thing you can do. Ultimates hits 15 monsters, not 1. Thus, multiply by 15.. but it doesn't stop there. All other attacks are not even close as ranged as your ultimate, so you will have to spend time walking, while, with your ultimate, you can just stay at one spot. Talking Bishop, my % per hour at level 124 is more than trice the % per hour from 110~120, that'ts right. And it's not even maxed yet, and I'm not training on holy weak monsters.

so what about Bucc? it seam that this turned into a bishop/Ulti discution so i guess the shadower part is finished but i still want to know how Bucc fare with the update... they got partially nerfed but they got partialy buffed so its even more messed up than shadower who gets a 100% boost anyone got an opinion?
