I know alot of cbs and shads out there are excited for the Big Bang patch and alot are flamed about it making us to much like Nls or that shadowers will become a band wagon. Lets finally see what people think about Big Bang.

[quote] orangeking11 : If we follow KMS, we're all getting a total SP reset scroll, so you can build up and adjust your skills as needed. Plus Endure's getting removed and you'll be refunded those points anyways if you do decide to not use the SP Reset. xD GridMonkey I agree. How can a bit of inflation and a population increase really outweigh the boosts/changes? xD [/quote] Uniquity, pride of playing the underdog class, afraid of being included with the bandwagoners, blah blah blah... It shouldn't matter what people think of you as long as you really what you're worth, Bandits and Maplers in general! Everybody who compliments you is right. Everybody who insults you is wrong.

Who hasn't seen the bucc soloing pap vid after big bang? -Continues bucc- And you coud say that with more people in the class, more people would have shad items so theyd be easier to find?

I'll be honest, I liked being a rarer class, and it's going to be annoying seeing a bunch of Bandits everywhere again (even though Bellocan is already full of them). But hey, I'm sure I will still have a ton more fun with Big Bang

i still feel like that unless we become awesome bosser we won't be bandwagoned, sure we are fast trainers with taunt and mobbing abilities, but we are already that now, and NLs are getting their mob attack buffed way up so they'll train just as fast now (well maybe not as fast as us) but the point is most people don't want a high level character so they can keep grinding all day long and not enjoy it, thats why the few of us (compare to other classes) that toughed it out are simply continuing because we love the gameplay, if we still find a hard time getting into boss runs (from what i see, 1v1 attack isn't much stronger besides adding in SP, but considering how all the other classes have damage boost as well im not sure how that measures up) then people will still want to play with classes that are the cookie cutter bossers

Someone said shads are one of the classes that could solo zak in under 5 minutes after the big bang. I'm not sure if it's true. but that's pretty nice.

[quote] GunDelHel : Forgot to add--the BB patch really seems to give Brigands a big pat on the back. Right now, CBs/Shads do well with Assaulter. However, Assaulter is a dagger-skill... Where Flash Jump can be used with any weapon equipped. Steal is the only decent skill right now (Other than ME) to be used by Brigands. And it gets a crazy buff. Meso Explosion changes it's relatively broken formula in order to make one that can get better with your damage--combine that with Shadow Partner and Pick Pocket, and you're MEing quite often. Then there are the new skills, each of which are beautiful in their own rights... [/quote] oddbuilder, you made your choice. you're playing in a unique and probably unintended way. expecting the game to cater to you is fairly unreasonable.

I definitely like Greed, that skill totally feels like a Shadower skill. Posing as a Hermit and stuff sounds great too.

Brigands are "high dex warrior build" bandits using non-daggers. They have a better damage mutliplier than daggers and in theory deal better maximum damage with Steal. However, no mastery and no booster. Not that those ever really mattered, especially with Meso Explosion in 3rd. I didn't expect great improvements to brigands. I think its more ironic, really. Especially with all of the non-dagger 1st job thief equips. Its just something to be thankful for.

[quote] SerenadeBass : Ive been wanting to make a Bucc, SHad and Corsair for some time and then Big bang coems around and motivates me. Too bad I went Endure instead of Steal. Hell I even maxed Nimble Body over Steal. [/quote] We're getting a complete skill point reset. Would have to, as some skills max levels have been changed.

I dont think shads will become a bandwagon because shads have a very different play style that most people cant play successfuly.
