KMST 1.2.11 - Skill Changes Part II

Still, you just have to party with someone with Speed Infusion, so that's a total of -5. Like I said, it's easy to reach Max Attack Speed unless you only care what's raw. That's why Pole Arms are at a disadvantage IMO as making them weaker was a dumb move on Nexon's part.

Edit: Pretty much the slowest speed that can reach Max Speed in total is Normal-6 (Which is what I was talking about!) and not Slow-7 (Which I thought it is because I didn't think Green MPE potions bypass the attack speed.) I probably wouldn't be complaining about it if Nexon removes the Attack Speed cap, which I highly doubt it will happen.

MPE Green lets you bypass the attack speed "cap," and so does Yellow Aura. The speed difference between the two is very real and it is why there are so few (none? little to no?) Dark Knights that use Spears over Polearms; they're slower and they have virtually no resale value.

I agree that there needs to be balancing right now since there was no reason to use a Spear due to a lack of resale value and just being worse overall, but now the opposite holds true; Polearm-using Dark Knights are completely shafted by this boost to Spears (because now they're not only stronger, but just as fast!).

What do you GMS people not have?

Like I said! It's stupid of Nexon to make the Pole Arms weaker in the first place. I'm judging both weapons based on max Attack Speed even with Green MPE potions. Pole Arms may be better by raw sure, but at the end of the day, they get the short end of the stick in terms of DPM. I'm one of the people who refuse to take faster weapons if they're weaker because I'm a damage whore. THIS is a problem you guys ignored. If Pole Arms have the same attack power as Spears, it wouldn't be that much of a problem, and weapon speed isn't a big deal IMO unless it's a Slow-7 or slower. Speed Infusion threw my care about "which weapon is faster" out the window. If Nexon did the same exact thing to Spears (Make them weaker,) I would be saying the same exact thing about spears.

What I think Nexon SHOULD have done: give 1 attack speed to Spears, and 5% damage to Pole Arms, instead of both for spears.

I think they're pushing for each class maining its own weapon and fixing what maple started with (hence the reboot).
Heroes: 2-handed axe

Yeah that's not happening ever lolz

You will have to take my 1H Sword & Shield out of my cold, dead hands first lolz

And change the damn bloody multiplier if you want like 5% increase in damage, not some lame 5%PDR or 5%DMG.

Heroes: 2-handed axe
Paladin: 2 handed BW

Considering the game had shields from the day it was released, and the original 4th job skills for both Hero and Paladin gave a shield and shield-dependent skills, I think you're wrong. These classes may have been meant to use axes and maces, respectively, but they were meant to use the 1h ones.

At this point I have no idea what you're going on about anymore. I'm tapping out.
