@LittleTLK: ... I'm not even going to really say anything for that first sentence. (Then again I said something for that sentence, and- *Blows up*)
As for the other the reaper is the replacement for it. Granted it doesn't hit as many enemies, but it activates more quickly & overall has better covering distance on either side of the field. Plus I still don't see why this is called a nerf really. My Battle Mage is much more stronger after the update. The only thing I would consider a nerf is the blows hitting less enemies, but this was done to give focus to the reaper itself. As a final note if you play purely for doing extremely high damage and such whatever, that's your choice on the whole matter. I play the game to just have a good time. We all have our differing opinions on the whole thing, and whether you'll agree with them or not that's up to you. Now if you excuse me I'ma go get some chicken because I'm seriously hungry.
Have a good day everyone!
Look, I'm just going to come out and say it... almost every other class' hyper attack skill has a cooldown. Having it so you can just spam it is kind of BS... and this is coming from someone who ALSO has a BaM.
We wouldn't be complaining as much if having that hyper was legitimately OP'd. But even with it, we were still #28 on the DPS charts. Freakin' Mihile was nearly tied with us. MIHILE. The abandoned class.
The only mage (aside from furry tamers) weaker than us was bishop, and even then, only by ~25%.
The fact remains that BKB was nearly 1/2 our DPS and Reaper's damage doesn't make up for that. We're no stronger after this update (we're apparently not much weaker if reaper actually worked), but this revamp did nothign but nuke our mobbing and give us some interesting new skills.
Even if BKB was spammable (and stayed 400%) we'd still be far from OP'd compared to most other classes. We'd be in the top 10, I'm sure, but no where near the best.

I have never seen, heard, or read this much crying about a class. It's a hyper. No class should be able to spam their hyper. The cooldown isn't even bad compared to some others.
But again, all you want is to be op. Complaining about dps. Just change jobs already. Why not play zero, night walker, or blaze wizard? You want damage right? You don't care about the class. You just want really big numbers.
You're talking to a guy that mained a permabeginner for 3 years, kid.
Not wanting your class to be nerfed =/= wanting to be OP'd[/quote]
Then stop complaining and play the game. This is the direction Nexon went with the class. Crying in 8000 threads on the days leading up to the revamp and on the day of said revamp won't change anything to the class. I think it's clear you've expressed your frustration. Now suck it up and play the class or find something else.
p.s. you've done quite a bit of crying to be the one calling me, "kid."
