Providence Wrote:The only time I've ever seen Avenger used effectively was at Gobies, and even then, that wasn't a Night Lord. It's relatively slow, weak and has an odd area of effect (basically, straight in front of you).
With avenger you need to stand exactly on the right spot or you're going to end up punching enemies or not hitting the entire mob, or simply not hitting anything at all. Using range as an excuse is bullcrap, solely for the reason that it doesn't home towards the enemies like normal stars and you need to be infront of them - like all classes except mages, who can happily-ever-after stand on a safe platform while eating cheese dorritos with their other hand while pressing their ultimate button and after their multiple 2x cards end complain about how other classes are better on the internet while they ask their mother to fill the bathtub and cry themselves to sleep afterwards.
...right.
Anyway, avenger blows. Also, stop considering SP with it. Bowmasters have SE, but you don't take that into account solely because other classes can have it too. Taking that in consideration, we might aswell start talking about weapon attack. e_e

Okay, let me take it into "context."

Still can't stop giggling. The 'ease of use' is still nothing more then pressing a button, and since maplestory isn't coded that extremely difficult, almost every single mob skill is simply vertical and will hit everything infront of them. Brandish has almost the exact half the range Avenger has, but simply because it hits a little further doesn't make it better in ANY way. Just because you take one other thing into account, you seem to completely ignore the rest of the factors.
