alot of you still dont seem to get the imbalance between bishop/mage and what these wepaons would have done -_____-
potion prices in global dont matter, the argument that because mages can afford to spam blizzard and meteor in global compared to how its even more broken in other versions compared to bishop is failed. Bishops in other versions can afford spamming genesis just because they dont have AMP, THANK GOD that nexon has cheap % based potions in global or the job would be trashed, as it has been in many other versions because of amp + potion cost. Even accounting the cheap MP in global, genesis and its lower potion cost/elemental advantage on currently released mobs still gives it a huge advantage over blizzard/meteor.
I've also heard the argument it dosent matter because mages have the new MA potions available in NLC, which is another lame argument considering how useful the potions are and how easy they are to acquire lol im going on 6 hours for my first fuel cell in hopes of getting 2 potions that add 1k MA for 5 seconds
As for price, this dosent help the matter at all, 145 ma lukless lvl 130 staff that everyone can use? bishops make up the majority of the magic community, if anything its going to inflate prices more. Theres a ton active bishops on every server loaded with money and willing to spend a ton for these weapons, good luck to mages who if they want the MA boost now have to compete with a much larger market for the weapons. Which wont even matter in the end, its not going to change the fact that bishops still have all the advantages and 20-30 MA gain wont change that
Having these weapons not give the proper elemental advantages breaks the mage/bishop balance even more and any hope that there was of mages getting some type of advantage in this game to fix the class post 4th job (unless nexon has something they're planning thats exclusive to global and coming, but i wouldn't be holding out for that)
Bishops already have everything people want for parties/bossing + an ultimate that takes half the cost, casts faster in a game where most of the popular maps are holy weak. These weapons were it, they were supposed to fix mages and give them something that gives us an advantage in at least attacking.
I keep hope in the fact though that nexon employees who reply via customer support inquires are often wrong and not informed, which is the feeling i get from his reply
