Nexon will ruin Bishops by making genesis have a cooldown, even a 30second cooldown. Most Bishops will have a 1min cooldown anyway because of how pricey gen 30 is. Genesis is the Bishop's most powerful, used, and treasured skill. Bishops are weak as it is and yes i know we are a support class but Bishops need genesis to actually train and be almost as good as archmages. I relized now that the patch is good for bishops. Nexon is giving bishops the ability to actuallly do sum real damage bossing instead of just supporting and gening and wasting 3000-4000 mp per attack. im rly glad i put points into big bang :D but now the real problem. is nexon going to reset bishops sp that were added into skills so we can re due our skill builds bc of new skills and skill changes?

Mages: All ultimates got a cooldown of at least 30 seconds (that's at max level) They got a mastery skill in 2nd job. - Big Bang now attacks 6 enemies 5 times each. Damage decreased to 290%. Picture! All mages got some skill in 4th jobthat gives buffs +50% duration time. It looks like there's a new magic accuracy formula that requires LOADS of LUK to work. Good-bye to LUKless mages? At max level, Infinity recovers 10% HP and MP every 4 seconds and all attacks increase by 10% for 40 seconds, cooldown 4 minutes At max level, Mana Reflections returns 1000% damage instead of 200% damage. All mages get Teleport Mastery, which increases Teleport Distance and has a 30% chance to deal 250% damage to 6 enemies and stun them for two seconds at max level, it changed to an active skill with a new animation. Energy Bolt is now stronger than Magic Claw(280% vs. 120% x 2, but it looks like Magic Claw can hit 2 mobs now =D) Magic Armor now gives 120 magic and weapon defense instead of 40 weapon defense. Improving Max MP Increase and MP Recovery Removed removed. (The MP got on each levelup stays the same as before and after this revamp though) New MP Increase skill that permanently increases MP by 20% at max. Bishop: - Heal gets a new animation (Effect and Affected) and is now a holy attack -Bless give 60 accuracy and avoidability and 120 magic and weapon defense, together with 15 ATK and M.ATK. - Shining Ray's damage increased to 420% damage. Range increased to 170% (horizontally). An 80% chance for stun added. - Elemental Resistance went from 50% down to 40% at max level. - New skill: Holy Attractions, which increases increases magic attack and permanently increases critical rate to 50% at max level. - Summon Dragon's damage increased to 310% at all levels. - Genesis; damage increased by 100%, has a 20% chance to crit (thus giving bishops while using gene a 5+50+20=75% chance to hit crits with it). - Bahamut's damage increased to 230% at all levels. - Angel Ray now attacks up to 4 enemies. Damage increased to 630%. The range is pitiful (120% Range). - Holy Shield gives 40% Immunity from Holy Attacks. http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1554787/1/Complete_Maplestory_Revamp_in_KMST.html# Looks good to me. You've got nice skill improvements (Big Bang? Angel Ray?even Gen's damage is improved) And AMs are getting the cooldown too..... This Revamp was for BALANCING: 20 bishops selling leech + KSing on every channel of every good training place is not balanced. And Bishops aren't the only ones who got there main attack skill kicked by nexon (oh hello Drks)

Look past the one little nerf on Genesis and look at all the other updates being done to your other skills.

So what if Genesis is going down. Mana reflections is getting a 800% buff. I think that's better than Genesis.

I'd rather have a cooldown on Gens in exchange for tons of other useful skills and being more than a heal/HS/bless mule than have cooldownless Genesis and nothing else.

if there will be new skills like u said such as the +50% duaration time for buffs and the magic mastery thing where we get skill poins to add there? and moreover mana reflection was a forgotten skill till now so most ppl didnt add points there and now nexon improves it. the changes with the skills make the SP build differant now. and its not like i saved SP for this new changes :

I am looking forward to this, spamming just genesis for hours and hours is just plain boring. I'd be happy, if they make Gen 30 easier to obtain, as it's no longer the best cost efficient skill anymore.

Due to your other attacking skills being improved, you won't need to rely on Genesis anymore.

Cleric in training, actually, as it's the only mage job that appeals to me. I'm attracted to the support aspect but the thought of having to leech to 120 then spam Gens to 200 just seems so ew. Giving Bishops worthwhile attacks to train regularly, improving the support aspect, and making mages credit to team in attacking situations makes the class far, far, far more inviting to me. And cannon and gens cannot even be compared. Gens is good at training and KSing and nothing else. You don't move, you don't do anything, just stand there holding down one button to 200. Cannon involves moving about, has the element of know when to mount and dismount, is useful at bosses, and isn't our only worthwhile move (Torp and RF say hi). And I also have an ultimate, Air Strike, which admittedly isn't very powerful, but I'd much rather use all those other cool skills that I have rather than holding down the AS key, and that's what I'm saying; a cooldownless Gens doesn't compensate for having nothing else. And so what if Sairs weren't top-tier DPM? I'd still play it anyway 'cause I find the class fun. Why else would people play Shadowers, Buccaneers, Evans, pre-balance Paladins, and so on?
