[KMST] KMST 1.2.487 Dual Blade and Cannon Shooter changes

[Aggravate]

Not sure what happened to Cannon Barrage. It's already weak enough (It feels like Bazooka outdamages it at times) and this doesn't exactly look like a buff of any kind. We'll see.

Percentage-wise, it isn't really a buff to Cannon Barrage. The delay increase makes it slightly weaker than before, and it only becomes a buff when you hit the speed cap. The PDR might make up for the decreased skill percentages.

Fast (5) of 780 ms = 2660%
Fast (5) of 1140 ms = 2632%

Faster (2) of 630 ms = 3294%
Faster (2) of 900 ms = 3333%

Both comparisons are without factoring Hyper Skills.

Fairy Queen Ephenia
Function: Queen
"White Mage... has he forgotten our promise?"
"Greedy humans... I cannot stand them."

So basically... the White Mage had something to do with Ephenia, but then I assume he did the whole 'cast away his light and turn into the Black Mage' thing so he never followed up on that. And that lead Ephenia to think all humans are greedy and made her hate them, which made her side with the Black Mage so she could get rid of the humans in her forest. IT WAS ALL PLANNED.

Wait, so he breaks his promise/betrays her, and she decides to join him? Makes a lot of sense...

I don't think she knows the Black Mage is the same person as the White Mage. Either that, or she's too blinded by her hate to care about it.

I don't think anyone other than the people in Aurora know that the Black Mage = White Mage. Not too sure though, I never finished the Luminous story (speaking of which, I should do that...).

New Blade Fury looks awesome, and I'm glad they got rid of those useless Sudden Raid Hypers.

Cannon Shooter's new skill effects are much more fitting.

[kimicatdemon]

LOOK AT ALL THOSE DELICIOUS NPC'S.

[iVege]

While I'm glad that Cannoneers got better-suited animations for their job, I'm not so happy about the drop in quality.

Stockholm syndrome is a hell of a thing.

it would be luminous too?

[Takebacker]

EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING I COULD WANT AND MOREEEEEEEE

[Satellite]

It's the Black Mage!

Looks like Luminous, minus odd eyes.

Which is completely normal when you realize that....

Spoiler

Luminous was created from the Black Mage's discarded light.

Hurray for people actually doing the questline! Phantom story, eat your heart out.

Monkey Push's effect, a la Octopush :P

I must have an animated version of this. Must.

Oops the white space is sorta awkward in a couple of frames. Oh well :P

Is it possible to do speed (4) and (3) as well just for comparison?

Thanks!

I want math. And hypers factored.

The delay increase might be due either to keep the logic of cannoneers, or because of cannon jump -> barrage (increased delay to encompass the entire jump, perhaps due to their new mobility options that may be able to be activated towards the come down of that skill chain). Regardless, the PDR and 30% total damage plus 200% DoT (huzzah, something to ignore PDR completely) makes it a huge buff.

Yup! The DoT hit almost as hard as each line of bazooka after barrage. Hopefully the DoT will be boosted by the debuff as well.

Mobility also improved by a lot too. Cannon Jump followed by FJ/Blast back is dream that come true!
