[KMST] KMST 1.2.481 - Skill tweaks, UI update, and more.

[Jettono]

Were Night Lords the "Bulldog" on top of the list?

I'm pretty sure "Bulldog" was F/P Mage. Surprising, I know.

EDIT: Ninja'd by a minute.

[Lazershock]

Wasn't the entire Insoya chart EXTREMELY inaccurate for some reason? Thats what I remember hearing (though I don't know the specifics of the chart and didn't really look at it)

[JoeTang]

They changed how it is executed and how the stars fly. I am thinking the ball delay change was altered to compensate, so I am unsure of how much of a nerf this really is, if at all.

The ball delay just affects the delay between the appearance of the projectile from the start of the attack I believe. So while the stars all leave your claw faster, it has no real effect on damage and the delay between throwing another set is longer.

Shade Split definitely did not deserve that nerf though.

The pineapple with that ragging blow nerf?

It's a change to the Enrage version of the skill.


As for the Buccaneer change, the only nerf they received is Fist Outrage does the same number of hits as Fist Enrage. Continue to enjoy your mediocre class.

[Blunderr]

and we don-t have 140+ secondary weapons, which is why i didn't adress that.

So they'd release a new potential tier, and let Kannas, DBs, and probably Zero's have that big of an advantage over everyone else? I doubt it.
Sides, if they actually DO release a higher potential tier, Secondary weapons would be practically the only way to profit from it, as pretty much anyone that would consider upgrading already uses level 140+ gear. Well, save for those unfortunate top+bottom using warriors and thieves, and also folks who use common gear.

[tecul1]

They probably accounted for weapon multipliers, and they didn't disclose how they'd gotten the %/s. Just look at the summarized %/s thread last page or 2.

[Jettono]

Battle Rage
Changed - time (240 --> 21000000) (60+6*level --> 21000000)

Also, what the pineapple is going on here? Battle Rage now lasts for 243 days?

They must be really, REALLY angry.

[tecul1]

It was made a toggle skill, wasn't it?

I guess this is how Nexon handles that now :P

Ironically, I calculated that Shuriken Burst (a 2nd job mobbing skill) is stronger than Shade Split (a 3rd job mobbing skill) now.

[TheBlackMage]

The new shop is pretty cool
200 coins for level 80 10 all stat 1 m/atk badge with pot.

[JoeTang]

It's a Toggle Skill now. All Toggle Skills last 21000000 seconds.

Yeah, Shade Split is garbage now. It'll likely be reverted on release.

[ChronosXIII]

That Meso Explosion change is nifty looking but I wish they kept the current animation. A black blob pressing down on a detonation switch is more appealing than yet another tornado, clone thing.

No idea what the "y" variable stood for in Prima critical, so can't find out what changed with it.

And wow, they finally remembered that Dark Flare existed.

[JoeTang]

What does the Lucky Dice hyper skill do now? Google translate says something about rolling 4 dice.

Nice Crewmember damage boosts. Despite the damage boost, Eight-Legs is a bit weaker after losing its hyper skills.

It wasn't mentioned in the patch notes, but the new Double Lucky Dice hyper is called One More Chance. When you use Double Lucky Dice, there is a chance for the cooldown to reset, and your next roll will always be 4 or higher. I believe this always applies, regardless of what you roll. From what the description gives, it's a bit vague though, and it can be interpreted that if you're lucky enough, you could reroll two or three times as it says nothing about consecutive activations. The chance is 40%, but I believe Double Lucky Dice's double roll remains a static 50%. So if you roll something like 2/2, and One More Chance activates, you can reroll, where you're guaranteed 4~6 (probably 7 if you have that hyper too). On this reroll, there is still the 50% chance for a second roll, which I would assume to be 4~7 as well. I highly doubt the second roll is guaranteed to happen.

Dark Flare is a summon that deals constant AOE damage along with its damage reflect effect.

Any idea what the changes to prima critical and assassinate were? The link seems to be broken for the latter

[JoeTang]

The change to Prima Critical should not affect it. It was likely an extra variable left over that didn't do anything.

The Assassinate change is merely inserting a dummy variable to the main skill telling you how much damage the 4th hit will do.

[Arrol]

As for the Buccaneer change, the only nerf they received is Fist Outrage does the same number of hits as Fist Enrage. Continue to enjoy your mediocre class.

So what the hell is the point of making an energized version of the skill? I thought RED was the balance the Explorers.

[voCupcakeov]

For professions, from level 10 to 11 now requires 45,000 EXP (increased from 40,000), and from 11 to 12 now requires 160,000 EXP (increased from 100,000). You have to be a Blacksmith and level 11 to craft the new Artisan's Cube, which allows you to go up to Unique, and level 12 for the Master's Cube, which can rank up to Legendary.

Anyone know if the cubes can rank down?

[ShinkuDragon]

Well, save for those unfortunate top+bottom using warriors and thieves, and also folks who use common gear.

you doubt it? i would believe it very easily, especially with zero coming, after all:

kaiser and AB came out, which enjoyed a third potential-able object for a pretty long time
secondary weapons only had potential for very few classes at first, these being dual blades and heroes, this lasted for how many years? DB's have been around since 2011 i think
when hypers came, only kaiser and AB had them too, then heroes. then everyone else.

nexon has no qualms with leaving previous classes in the dust (for some time)

[JoeTang]

So what the hell is the point of making an energized version of the skill? I thought RED was the balance the Explorers.

10% more Total Damage and a different effect.
