Ok basil so lots of people are complaining about how the ultimates are getting a cooldown (including me) But the funny thing is, I was watching basils videos, and reading threads about this and I found something out.. People are saying that the ultimates are getting a cooldown because we level the fastest and train the fastest, but I was watching the videos and I saw a dual blade mostly spamming their "ultimate". So how is this fair at all? We mages work hard for our ultimates and we get a cooldown on them, while dual blades have a ultimate AND strong 1vs1 skills. I know with the revamp, mages get buffed up 1vs1, and dual blades get decreased 1vs1, but how is this going to work, dual blades get an ultimate thats faster than mages and its spammable plus better 1vs1 skills, what is nexon trying to do, get rid of adventurers in general?

Totaly ignoring the fact that dual blades power is being nearly cut in half in the test server... Read more before posting.

Hmm...perhaps you're right. But its still going through testing, and also Dual Bladers are only out for a limited time (assuming we follow KMS's example, which we usually do with a few changes here and there). @ above touche.

Hmmm, this whole thing probably started with the Evans and Battle Mages. Both their Ultimates have cooldowns, so KMS probably figured they should have balanced ALL Mages out to pare with them.

IMO, they got cooldowns because they don't worry about anything else than spaming it & selling leech.

[/quote] Bishops are so far almost a compleatly useless class with the exception to training and healing at horned tail, with the new patch they gain a stronger role with support damage (And netting exp for the kill besides the 1 damage leech or so) Mages went from a 1 button class to something a bit more stronger, overall, theres gonna be more use for them in the game coming up im sure.

I'm happy with the cool downs. It'll stop people from making clerics with the goal of using genesis.

Anyway, I'm glad mages are getting a cooldown. And that's coming from someone with a level 186 Bishop. They should never have worked like the presently do.

Dual bladers attack power almost got cut in half in KMST . So they're 'ultimate' isn't as strong anymore. @Agrees with Kevinccf, he's said it all.

I don't care much, I can still mist the map then use ultimate.

Even though bishops/arch mages are getting cooldowns on their ultimates, their still getting boosts on other attacks. DBs are also getting their attacks nerfed after the balance patch. Also, Nexon didn't even release the balance patch in KMS, meaning they might think it's a bad idea and not implement it into KMS. Even if they do make ultimates have cooldowns in KMS, the Nexon staff in North America may think it's a bad idea and not implement it into GMS.

Because it will destroy leeching and KSing.

[/quote] Read about the bishops power in AR and critical, imagine actually doing damage, and taking exp from those pesky nl's (whos taking a shadower parter damage reduce too!) during a bossrun. Hey, maybe ill take a extra 14x-15x bishop over the weak 12x-13x nl's, imagine that?
