The damage for the two are pretty low (haven't used capsules yet), adding a bit extra damaged isn't too bad. They're still updating classes, they're probably going to give everyone a buff here and there, so relax.Yeah, they really are. Flamethrower and Ice Splitter are already nearly as strong as Torpedo if you have max Elemental Boost, and now it'll be pretty much the same. The boost to Rapid Fire is just ridiculous -- we didn't need that at all. Honestly, if we just got the no minimum range thing, I'd be happy as hell. We don't need the rest of this stuff because we're strong enough as it is.
So they buff sairs a bit outside of their boat and make their boat a bit stronger defensively, but I'm sure they'll add better buffs to everyone else as well. I know it has been said before, but balancing out classes isn't an easy job. Updating some classes and leaving the others untouched can be problematic in terms of balance, so they're probably adding a little extra something to everyone.
More boat durability... also not necessary. Maybe they spent too long testing the low level Corsairs and their pathetic boats. Whatever, hopefully they don't increase it too much. And to the guy who said that the boat should have no cooldown... that's the worst idea in this whole thread.
I'm very anxious to see the updates to Archers and Warriors. Unfortunately, Marksmen are more flawed in our version than kMS because of our over-abundance of crazy-ass gear. Since everyone is weaker in kMS (and no damn apples), the static damage of Snipe gives them a much bigger boost than it does to us. Maybe they could make Snipe 250k. And fix the damn cooldowns! (Not just Snipe's)
Buccs need to have Demo be *at least* 1.5x faster and have Energy Charge charge with each hit, not each monster hit. And yes, a speed cap increase would be nice too.
I think the 1st job Archer crit should be 50% instead of 40%. Just sayin.
