What I hate about this revamp is the transforming skill. Can't look like the job instructor anymore wtf... It was the one character that I didn't need to worry about nx.
Actually what the heck, I don't think they even transform anymore. It's more like only a buff now...

Nexon, please revamp Mercedes Skills.

OT: WA = Mercedes + Phantom.

i'll prob switch to WA when the revamp comes and switch back to BM if 5th job does get released and if 5th is actually good for BMs

[quote=bluebomber24]But some of the WA skills are....girly[/quote]
this also

they may be closer to BMs in playstyle, lacking rush combos/etc,
but looking at purely the animations, you may or may not notice a heavy prevalence of swirly green vegetation, petals/leaves in certain mobility skills, magic crystals, little spirit spritey things, and AOE "arrow shooting" skills that don't actually shoot arrows.

on an unrelated note, Wind Breaker is now indeed a more fitting name, since trifling whim shoots out of not your bow, but your ass~

It hurts being a bowmaster all the times Nexon has peed over our class. I resist to quit my bowmaster, I survived WH and Mercedes, I will survive this and prove BM can be cool too!

[quote=xidamex]how the f- do you get a 24k range with no equips?[/quote]

They have a buff at 1st job that gives 20 attack I think, and later a buff that gets upgraded each job, upgraded finally at 4th job which gives 70 att, and 30% damage.

[quote=AllDayErryDay]Iunno about all that. Mercedes was a very green class, but rightfully so (she's an elf). This class is deservedly green as well, and isn't really remotely reminiscent of Mercedes other than the typical reasons that apply to every bow class- hurricane. Mercedes seemed to be more of a mixture between Dual Blade skill ideas, and bowman skills.

This new Wind Archer seems to be more closely related to... well bowmasters in my personal opinion. They've got nothing but arrow rain, a few shot-based skills, and hurricane. It shows some ideas that were present with Phantom though; Such as multi-target hurricane-esque skills. Not to mention the Trifling Whimsy's (basically the idea of the cards that final attack from phantom) are a bit of a clear representation of that.[/quote]

I agree. Outside of Green I don't make the Merc connection that others are making. Mercs only have a couple of green skills anyway -_-. But some of the WA skills are....girly

Also, pretty sure they went with green because they want to make an off color branch.

TB use lighting but all blue like ocean
WA use wind but all green like forests
BW uses fire but all brown like earth?
NW uses dark but most likely Sanguine like blood?....I don't think purple because it would be a bit like a DA
DW uses soul and uses white like light?....instead of the yellow soul stuff

Also if they continue the job instructor line, expect them to maintain the colors of the Pre-revamp cygs. Bet on it!

Well I never really liked Bowmasters anyway
If that beautiful hurricane didn't mob, it'd be perfectly balanced, but that doesn't sound very Nexon to me.

Now I can't decide, level my MM to 250 or level my Mercedes to 250 or level my Wind Archer to 250? The decisions one must make. SCREW U NEXON. >.<[/quote]

Mercedes, I think Nx would revamp Mercedes by how they are making the hurricane like skill have more % damage when it's an mobbing skill than Mercedes's ishtar.

Lots of new concepts fluttered all across this class. I'm loving it. Finally, my equips can be put to good use. BM will definitely get a revamp soon enough.

I never deleted my WA because it's one of my favorite classes, I'm happy about the revamp.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but they removed Eagle Eye transform?

I wonder if MMs feel better that because of the new WA, they won't get bandwagoned for being one of the most powerful classes in the game in favor for over the top flashiness and having crystals with wings flyin' all over the place

Not very appealing in my eyes. It just looks like another luminous/kaiser/angelic buster. I'll just stick with two original bowmen
