Reached my peak at level 140

Im really dissapointed by the fourth job....
I feel like I've reached my peak too soon (lvl 140), I don't know if it's the lack of skills or power...
I lost motivation to keep on leveling after I maxed Impale, Berserk, Beholden and Hex.
I find Revenge useless. it might seem good when you read the description , but when you train, you don't notice any big difference.
Aura's totally useless, Because of Dragon Wisdom.
Also, I never use Monster Magnet, slows down training, and I prefer to use rush instead.
And not to mention Impale, an insanely weak attack compared to other main fourth job attacks.
Power stance is alright, but doesn't worth 30 SP IMO. I already failed four Stance 20 books...
I mean, knock back resistance is something that you should get in lower levels, it's not that special.
Is there really any point to keep leveling? are we getting any good revamp soon?

My peak is at 170, just enough to get the hyper skills

If you aren't having fun then stop playing. It is just a game, you shouldn't feel like you're required to play. If this class feels like a chore to you, play something else.
Hope that doesn't come off as rude, as that isnt my intention.

imo lowering 4th job requirement to level 100 kind of killed the fun of fourth job ;/.

If you don't like the class don't play it, find one that you enjoy.

@rickjames196: DrK and DW are the only classes I got bored of from the beginning.

dont play if you dont find it fun, not worth wasting your time over it. I agree with you totally on the skills aspect, havent used sp since lvl 139, thats before the new job adv levels. I keep playing because i dont find DrK boring at all and we have a good reputation within the mapling community, probably because we are so weak we cant annoy people by ksing

drk is the only class, I've never gotten bored of, I know I'm weak, and it still doesn't change the fact that drk is where I have the most fun. And considering how hard it is to make friends now (at least for me... ) at least I'm havin fun

I is one of those people that likes seeing big numbers...but that was [i]after[/i] I hit 200. Since there is nothing to do in terms of training now, I either merch or mp because I still feel hesitant to go bossing (even with my range being doubled over the course of a year).

To the TS: Pretty much what everyone else said. If you don't play the class for fun....you won't get far with the class. In other words, you'd probably get bored and quit the class or don't play it as often as you are right now.

Yay for Heroes reaching potential late game!

Pretty much what everyone said. As an incorrigible job hopper, I think that it's important to prioritize fun over damage. If you are stressing out over trying to be the best, your damage, your training speed, your equips or range, I find that you aren't really having fun, not enjoying the little perks that each job might offer. In that case, you should just drop the job and move on. I find that I would drop even the most op'ed classes solely for reasons like that. Just remember that it's just a game.

Granted, most people do enjoy seeing big numbers.

As for revamps, there is none as far as I know. KMS is currently working on Cygnus revamps, so it will be months before any other job gets something concrete. On the bright side, we have nowhere to go but up.

honestly, i think the whole lowering the 4th job advancement to 100 really does take the fun out of most classes at 140 ish. the first 20 levels of a job advancement are fun for me, but then it just becomes a bit tiring.

regardless, i have fun with my DrK more so than any other class, for some odd reason. but like @cookie4mesos said, if you're not having fun, drop it and find a class you enjoy

EDIT: i hate how basil has certain word restriction, especially when the letters are common occurrences in daily language...>_<

No known revamps are forthcoming as of yet.
