MASSIVE NERFS and BUFFS - MapleStory KMST Milestone Class Balancing Overview

[@Duky]

i misunderstood the aran changes, apparently its an overall nerf! Sorry! Their adrenaline having a 90s cd makes it so they can't stack 2 of them together and using combat step to cancel beyond blade makes ur flash jump go on cd, which is ASS Thanks for letting me know!

[@thatsleepyman]

(Phantom main here) Phantom is also a nerf. Luck of the draw (joker in translation) is our big burst which is shortened from 7 to 5 sec directly losing out on 2 seconds of damage. The slight damage increase doesn't make up for the losses. Other than that yes, some skills had slight buffs but overall our burst becomes weaker. Which is another Phantom L.

[@nicktan7733]

ABOUT TIME WIND ARCHER CAN MOVE POGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THEY BETTER BE ABLE TO JUMP TOO

[@MrHrWasHere]

Even if we still cant jump, ill still take it

[@Readbear92]

It’s confirmed, jump is possible

[@WilliamEmzy]

They better be able to jump part got me😂. Yeah finally, we gonna see more WA now

[@adamnickerson6683]

Just made a WA before knowing about the buffs. As a second main. Been loving it.

[@bullbull9641]

nah no iFrame still sucks

[@noahberkel3668]

The best thing about this patch is fixing the up jumps for so many classes. As soon as I found out a class has no up jump or a skill up jump it goes right in the bin. Now I can play lots of other classes

[@clubz1]

doesnt it read that an increase was added? or can i really not read

[@frateris1838]

Glad to see Shadowers getting buffed, as a main I feel we've been lacking compared to a lot of other classes. Definitely compared to other thief classes (Aside from Phantom, class is forever stuck in the bin).

[@feed799]

Paladin looking good. Unless I'm mathing wrong, the Grand Cross changes will very slightly nerf its damage, but overall I'd consider it a buff since the 2s saved far outweighs the damage lost when using it during burst (ror/origin stun/ etc.). The smoother movement is also 💯💯💯

[@notingbutgaming8809]

Only a slight nerf to grand cross dmg imo But as a whole pretty juiced blast and divine judgement dmg increase is unreal

[@master9095]

Wow I never would've expected Kinesis to get buffs. W VID

You missed Kaiser, they had one error fixed but no buffs or nerfs. Class revamp?

[@UAintGotNoYeezys]

as an end game bishop main im not even mad, it makes the game better and more fun for everyone.

[@kghj6937]

How is it fun when the individual damage buffs are still massively overshadowed by the support damage nerfs, as of this KMST patch? The same party's not going to be clearing the boss at the same pace, or worse, get entirely downgraded a bossing tier. I'm all for shifting out of the fd stacking meta into more diverse comps, but don't pass this thinly veiled global nerf (to force players to spend even more to access the same bosses they previously could before the patch) as something good. If Nexon were sincere about balancing, they would have given more personal fd% to all classes (like 35-39%, based off inven testing numbers), instead of these measly figures, and nerfed the bosses' hp, to match something that has any semblance of "rebalancing".

[@jayfountainsm.d.3651]

Hero with a normal up jump 😮🙌🏽

[@BackByDesign]

I was sure my Kain was about to get put to sleep but these changes are nuts.

[@potatta2]

well, not that i use dark aura that much, the nerf does stink a bit but seeing how the DK skills have a huge increase does make me happy, any extra dmg my DK can do is welcome. :)

[@5onic]

You missed the best class rebalance, kaiser.

[@WilliamEmzy]

Hi is it a good balamce for Kaiser?

[@gdave8215]

He didn't miss it cause it literally got nothing.

[@Tabarnacification]

@WilliamEmzy No, it's garbage. They just made it so our attack speed is not reliant on Morph Gauge anymore.

[@PandaAsInTheCuteAnimal]

an actual good and surprisingly not cringe ad which also didn't feel too forced in, and started off with a good appeal to care about it by saying we're missing out on mesos and frags with self-aware paint to represent it, well done

Thunder Breaker burst skill getting its 5th buff since release 😂 but for real TB's burst is now a much more significant damage source than it was before

[@Nano-pf4zf]

I'm glad that Lara is getting some very good buffs. I love her mobbing, but her bossing really does need a little more power.

[@adhaman1]

Your ad got me in the hero section . but I didn't skip because you deserve the support !

Bro you need more subs. Carrying maplestory news/ updates and content on your back for us .

[@Duky]

💓thank you bro, ill keep trying my best and we can keep growing

[@SaiyansGMS]

Mechanic wasn't buffed its also a nerf to solo damage. They condensed the burst but didnt add enough lines to make up for the 2 seconds we lose, we also lose 2 seconds of enhancmed homing beacon which is a pretty big loss. Edit: So apparently they also reduced the attack interval but didn't mention it in the notes. This makes it so FMB does the same damage but we still lose 4 wave of enhanced missiles. Hopefully they just revert this change no mech main even wants a shorter FMB anyway lol.

[@tacocat1921]

I swear Nexon does not know what to do with Mechanic. smh

For Wind Archer, Storm Bringer is the secondary arrow spawn buff. Was expecting this but happy about the increase of probability. QoL and damage up is nice. Hoped for more but at least we didn't get skipped

I'm so excited, overwhelmed and sad at the same time. I don't know if it's worth coming back to this game I quit when big bang happened like right after Angelic blessing and ardent mil. V93? I am currently trying to decide on a P SERVER or just coming back and accepting change. While I don't agree with so much stuff nexon has done.. They have been keeping the content rolling there probably is so much to do even for a returning noob.

@@Duky I'm gonna try but even after watching all your videos I don't know how I should come at this game at all I'm justg gonna level to 150-200 and explore a bikt then try different classes to get some legion

[@leeziyi5290]

i thought the reduced durations meant nerfs? coz like reduced time of the particular burst skill isnt it?

[@Duky]

making the burst more condensed is good

[@OhMyDearestLove]

I think you might have underestimated the buffs on BaM. You said they got a 5% FD which they did on one skill but their spell mastery FD went up by 17% also i think. So they got a 22% overall FD increase with nattle magic and spell boost FD increases. Isnt 22% super massive?

[@Duky]

yea it is!

[@jocenriquecarlodeoliveirar2424]

Do you think bishop nerfs will affect solo/duo bossing tho? I guess not as hard as for full party... Great video, thanks!

So we are gonna ignore night walker ? Sounds about Nexon

[@xxghosthunterxx9576]

hey, i came back to this game like a week ago. i started night walker and his lvl 188 rn. but i got a mega character burninator and i cant use it on him since the max lvl that i can use it on a character is 149. so i have to create another character to use it on. i heard that bishop is really good and i am wondering if i can still main bishop even with these nerfs. btw i play solo. is bishop still great for solo?

Picked bishop coz i like playing support. See all classes having support get nerf. I m not sure how to feel bout the support nerf n skill dmg increase (since imo the dmg wont b that great of a difference). Dont get me wrong bishop did need a nerf it was far too busted. Just tot they cld keep some of the debuff n have their sp n debuff numbers adjusted. Oh well, will see how it plays out when it comes to SEA server

@@Conker507 our DPM is increasing, 6% final damage is being cut from Last Resort and moved over to our passives instead for permanent uptime instead of being tied to the 30 second buff. Our Shurrikane also got 2 extra damage lines, and our omen got big modifier buffs. Its a DPM increase overall, and burst essentially remains unchanged.

[@NvrBst]

Hold up you said it's great the I/L mage bind is getting changed from 180s to 120s... but the max hold down duration is changed from 13s to 10s (I assume nerf for the debuff/). Loosing 3s of our is bad (but happening 60s faster is good, maybe evens out), however, is the bind itself also reduced from 13s to 10s? If so thats a HUGE nerf, you make it sound like a good thing? Can anyone confirm the bind itself is still 13s, just the hold down (debuff/) is reduced from 13s to 10s? Or everything (debuff//bind duration) is reduced to 10s? I mean the 13s bind is basically the core identify of the I/L mage, what else do they have, the boss slow? LOL.

[@squidfishie]

The bind is the same duration it's always been. Just the is lower. You shouldn't be holding the full duration anyway cuz the bund starts when you cast it, not when the skill ends. This is just a straight buff to the class.

[@TheGodGamerXx]

what about kaiser

Wait Mechanic burst got nerfed then right?

Yep, the overpowered (sarcasm) mech got a much needed nerf.

Thank the fucking god I didn't play bishop in the last HP. I was deciding between bowmaster and Bishop and decided to make bowmaster as my mule. I'm glad paladin got buffs. I'm a solo player usually and for some reason, we don't get separate loots, so massive wins for paladins. Paladin was my first HP class and I still love him b/c of hammer. I like hammers. Though I love Hayato b/c he is fun. Wow, I have been steadily making progress on him, just got his second Arcane gear last week or so, though admittedly have been a bit lazy when it came to grandis symbol and whatnot. I'm still gonna focus on Hayato for a while, but once this update drops, I guess I'll have two or three mains depending on how much I like Blaster (been preparing him for upcoming HP).

not a high end bishop by any means but this shit is kinda gross lol. early to mid bossing progression is pretty nasty as a bishop since you almost always have to be carried or PUG and to have the late game prevalence stripped away doesnt seem like its worth suffering through. although i guess bishop is much more inline with something like kanna now. and in the grand scheme of the game this is basically a nerf to the entirety of party bossing in general with benediction being gutted

How is DB buffed, the extra line of attack barely makes up for the damage reduction and the burst is shortened not condensed. so you get less time to deal damage. how did they get nerfed even harder

burst condensed, more lines, can get back to using ur combos faster

[@mrqburt290]

From what I heard from the db disc, the goat Funeral Dres said it’s flat 16.6% FD added everywhere. So it’s a buff, despite r2d getting nerf by 6% FD. So it’s like Burst get a little better and off burst gets better.
