[KMS Summer Update] MapleStory: Nova

[Arrol]

Another magician, because we didn't have enough of those.
The last archer we had was Mercedes, for reference.

Oh pineapple, you telling me it's been over 6 years since this game has ever seen an archer class?

[PirateIzzy]

It has, unless you count Wind Archer as a "new" class (I don't). Wild Hunter came out before Mercedes, with Big Bang, and none of the non-KMS classes are archers.

Goddamn, that's ridiculous.

[fodjgngf]

Jeez another INT character effect. How many classes just give INT and nothing special like 1/3 of the magicians?

[VerrKol]

I think everyone gave up on waiting for a new archer class years ago.

[TheBlackMage]

The new archer will come out before Wind Breaker would be able to walk with hurricane.
Or both won't happen who knows.

I honestly believe they can't design a "new" archer weapon and that hinders them, that or they can't figure out how to make a non hurricane archer.

I mean, Marksman doesn't use Hurricane. And honestly, Ayame could have been an archer if JMS decided to make her a class.

[Grey]

From what I see, I honestly think they probably could've just reskinned Illium as an archer instead of making him a mage, they could easily just turn all his lances and orbs into arrows and stuff.Plus, it's not like there's no precedent for magic archers in MMOs.

I remember one MMO, Cabal Online, had a crystal wielding "Force Archer" that materialized an Astral Bow. Lore wise it was a mage, but it was basically a normal archer.

Why do the A and Y have accent marks?

[Slip]

Why do the A and Y have accent marks?

That's an interesting question. Perhaps they're pronunciation keys? (although, there is Korean underneath the English as well)

[TheBlackMage]

So as far as I've figured it would appear javelin has better range and logic(?) than LR?
Although I am not entirely sure, maybe I am wrong and the lt/rb2 are the bounce ranges.
Man that's crazy if it's 500 per bounce.
Nvm I was looking at the 1st job one, why would they nerf it throughout the job advs wtp.

But it would appear the bounce logic is like NW's bats which is pretty cool, really not sure if it's 50 range though.
Probably the only skill I truly like is the javelin, it's actually a pretty cool twist to CL.

[HighOnMushrooms]

Not sure what those accents mean specifically but the Korean 아쉴롬 isn't pronounced like 'asylum', it's more like 'asheelum'.

[Ivangold]

This new summon is called God in latin(or at least Portuguese and Spanish)
https://orangemushroom.files.wordpre...effect-fly.gif

This new class will be like Kinesis, strong but complex to play and use a lot of skills, people will drop fast since they want a simple class that use only 1 skill¯\_(ツ)_/¯(and they also want with high Dmg!!)

[TheBlackMage]

This class is actually very straight forward.

During bossing, all there's to do is to spam Javelin+Orb like Mech's Missle+Homing, use Longinus asap as well.
Pay attention to crystal charge so you could use mortal swing and harmony link whenever.
Decent utility with the hypers which could give you god mode for around 10~12 seconds.

I'd say you are most likely to use 3~6 keybinds (excluding buffs and summons) at most times.

The hardest part is to position the ball, as if you miss you may lose vital damage (debuff stacks) and quite a bit of damage actually, I actually really don't like the ball as it feels forced af.

[ZomgNit]

He uses Magic Gauntlets as his weapons and Magic Wings as his secondary.

Examples:


Arcane Shade Magic Gauntlet

Req Level: 200
Req INT: 600
INT: 100
LUK: 100
Weapon Attack: 206
Magic Attack: 347
Ignore Defense%: 20
Boss Damage%: 30
Equip tradeblock
Trade once with Platinum Scissors of Karma

Glory Magic Wings
Magic Wings - Magician (Illium)
Req Level: 100

Gold Crystal Emblem
Emblem - Magician (Illium)
Req Level: 100
STR: 10
DEX: 10
INT: 10
LUK: 10
Weapon Attack: 2
Magic Attack: 2

Oh, also, his job ID is 15xxx, so he's one of those unique, factionless classes like Zero, Beast Tamer, and Kinesis, so heads up if you care about cash shop sharing and faction skills.

He's from Asylum, which is a safe haven for the surviving Verdant Flora. They have a Crystal Academy, where Illium learns magic. Since it's hidden, characters other than Illium cannot access it.

Is this guy amazing or what?

Would you happen to know the weapon multiplier for magic guantlets? Im assuming its 1.2 but Id like to know for sure!

[Ivangold]

So a new patch came in Test server
https://orangemushroom.net/2017/08/0...-achievements/

So this new achievement seens cool, but i can see the game becoming 100%laggy, everything you will do will get recorded, hope i can get a new pc or i won't be able to play the game anymore(100 milions monster? man...)

I wonder if the game will turn to the old event hall that lagged a lot of people since it will be checking a lot more of stuff in your account.

[Endgame]

Well it's kind of understandable why they haven't made that many bowman classes. There's only one real way to use a bow and Mercedes had to dip into martial arts and even straight up magic to pad out her skillbook. Wild Hunter had to use some machinery. (It makes sense and fits the technological theme of the Resistance, though.)

But 6 years since a single one came out? Wow.

It might be possible they'll release a Nova Bowman however, considering they're now revisiting the subgroup and there's one class type missing from it.....

They're missing a Nova Mage and a Nova Archer. Illium is of a difference race, and I think it's more likely they'll release more of them. They gave Illium one of these skills:

레이스 오브 갓
레프 고대신의 힘을 빌려 강력한 힘을 갖는다.
Required Level: 200

1	MP 100 소비, 60초 동안 데미지 10% 증가\n재사용 대기시간 120초

The 60 second, 120 second cooldown, 10% damage faction buff level 200 hyper, noticeably absent from most factionless classes (the 10% buff is worked into other hyper skills for them), and even AB, Kaiser, and Cadena, who are all Nova.

On the other hand, Illium job ID is 152xx, and they haven't released any more members for the other 5 digit job ID classes, like Zero, Beast Tamer, and Kinesis.

Would you happen to know the weapon multiplier for magic guantlets? Im assuming its 1.2 but Id like to know for sure!

I finally got around to actually making one, and my best guess would be 1.2.
