KMST 1.2.381 Wind Jump Update 175 Bowmaster at Dark Rash

[quote=angelwingsXx]Where did you get that from? :o
But it looks awesome.. I'm actually really excited for the Jump! Patch if this is what's coming! I'm loving my BM even more now (:[/quote]

It's from northperry. I didn't want to copy and paste.

@superimani: I'm proposing a toast for the news. Not the patch.

Hmm, I guess its time...

S> 163atk 3L unique VIP bow?

[quote=BliksemSagitta]@orangeking11: The sad thing is we don't even get a chance to rant, everytime we try to convince people why NLs need buffs they just mass flame us D:
Now archers got mobility and survivability, NLs should deserve way better damage than them (puts on flame shield)
[/quote]
The flamers are scared. NLs have always shown we can go above and beyond regardless of circumstances. xD

And mini-FJ and their inability to shoot mid-air will still be hindering their mobility. TT fly 'n' spam will still destroy Hurricane crippled walk. xD

[quote=evelynmak]That ultimate inferno's animation looks very crude... Like it doesn't fit.
Double jump lololol copied WH's jag jump same distance and sound effects and crap[/quote]

Yeah, it's not like WHs ever copied anything from BMs...

[quote=EarthShakerT]I honestly don't like this. Although it's great Archers are getting major updates, they left out pirates and thieves. ....And I was praying there would be an Archer Hero. GUESS NOT.[/quote]

We Thieves and Pirates will have our turn. Be patient. We'll be burnin' down cities before ya know it! xD

[quote=WayofPaladin]Ladies and gentlemen, raise your glass! A toast to all the hard work, dedication, and time you put on your archer. Tonight we celebrate! =] A-M-E-N.[/quote]

~cough~ in 3+ months.

[quote=iLemon]Hopefully BM wont get bandwagoned to hard[/quote]

Regardless of other people, you should just enjoy being a Bow Master.

[quote=xXGodXx]wow, now archers are raiding from the thief skill pool. fan-freaken-tastic....[/quote]

Look what happened to Shads. Share 2 skills and all of a sudden you're the most expensive job in the game and all that "special respect"/"uniqueness" you once had disappears. And the loss of the Top Survivability crown as well. xD

The hate on WHs from BMs/MMs has helped to dwindle their respect as a class. Give BM a mini-FJ and Thief-like evasion. Now BMs and WHs are on even ground and their fighting will cause their "Bowman r nice" rep to burn. xD

Edit: And yes, I'm lovin' it. We share our skills but we still get to enjoy them. They lose their class reps which they used to brag so much about. They can't enjoy that anymore - they're on even ground for rep with us Pirates and Thieves. Woooo! xD

[quote=GunUser]Fair enough, I just think its starting to get a little ridiculous lol.

They might as well take skills from every class and make one universal class because with each update it seems every class becomes less unique.

And as far as I know there is no planned revamp for thieves/pirates atm, but I guess its inevitable now.[/quote]
Not really, the opposite has happened for Jump. xD
-Warriors: Heroes are the Tigers of Battle again. Dark Knights are the balanced Dragons that are solid all-around. Paladins are the turtles lol. xD
-Magicians: Bishops still play support. F/Ps live on DoTs. I/Ls strike hard and quick for DPM.
-Bowmen: BMs step forward to become more recognizeable for single target compared to MMs while MMs become more mobbing and utility.

So skills may be shared, but roles have become more clear. When it comes to Thieves and Pirates, we have the potential to fit many different roles depending on what Nexon gives us, so it's gonna be amazing for sure. xD

Edit: I think that's why so many people don't want or don't think there'll be one for us Thieves and Pirates. It has so much potential for craziness, and people just like things under control. xD

[quote=orangeking11]35% of it is Dispel'able. Imagine if Shifter was a buff and how annoying that'd be at CZak? xD

And when it's our turn, it just gives reason for NLs/Shads to get even more boost to Shifter. xD[/quote]

[quote=LastBucc]Will DB's get revamped furthermore during Thief Revamp? if so, yikes...[/quote]

DBs are Nexon's favorite pet. They won't let it go hungry for long. xD

Will DB's get revamped furthermore during Thief Revamp? if so, yikes...

[quote=GunUser]Apparently with this update bowmen have 55% dodge rate..which is better then NLs/Shadowers.[/quote]

[quote=orangeking11]We destroy BMs in survivability. Shadow Shifter and Resistance are amazing for it. xD

Even though we may be underpowered, the job has always relied on the dedication and effort of the players to get things done. We endured the longest bandwagon ever on Maple, high prices, haters, etc., but yet we go out and just enjoy the job and reach our goals. Our job is a great example how the power of individuals can empower the whole. xD

We'll have our turn, but we can wait. xD[/quote]

[quote=BliksemSagitta]We are indeed underpowered, yet people are still overrating us (hermits)

@Fius: Even before this patch, BM still beats us in every way besides mobility D:, I hope we get a good revamp[/quote]

[quote=tonywashere]Hey there Fox. I completely agree with you.[/quote]

Heya!
Where have you been? I don't see you around too much anymore =/

[quote=DarkFocus]I disagree. WH are NOT overpowered, and really. Archers are archers, what could they have given to WH that would make them original while keeping them archers? Bows shoot arrows, there's nothing more too it.
In all reality, the only thing WH really have over BMs is speed, stance, and the Xbow multiplier, which isn't much at all...however, all I see is "OMG U WH TOK OUR HURICAN AND WE WRK SO HERD 4 OUR STUFF MANGZ BM PRIDE!"

I honestly thing it's just BMs being mad that WH are a little stronger.
After all, I didn't see any BM complaining when Wind Archer were made, and god knows everyone had a reason to complain then.

For the sake of discussion, I have a challenge for you.
Make your own version of WH under these guidelines.
Must use Xbows, their DPM must be a little higher than BM/MM, they need to have a balanced set of pros and cons.
I don't think you could do any better than Nexon did with making WH, and this is coming from a guy with a 15x WH, 12x BM and 12x MM.[/quote]

Hey there Fox. I completely agree with you.

[quote=itsme2]It would have been even nicer if WH wouldn't have been an overpowered copy-paste class that got all the updates we needed while we got nothing. We had a damned good right to complain.[/quote]

Hurricane 30

Spirit Link: Frostprey 30
Snipe 30
Piercing Arrow 30.[/quote]

According to some extractions, it appears they're releasing Chaos versions of each PQ and GPQ looks like it's coming back.

Everyone be warned that this is the first trial of The Wind patch and there may still be some major changes.

[quote=TofuTastey]You just failed hard. If QQ has evolved into a crying face, why go "do you know what that means?" And give the original definition? The past has nothing on the current definition. Stop trying to act smart. The origin is a widely known fact.[/quote]

How have I failed hard? and where have I asked "do you know what that means?"
I gave the origin definition as a reference for the person who did ask "do you know what that means?"
I never said that the definition did not evolve, I just gave the origin definition.
Again, I am not trying to act smart, I am simply giving the origin definition as a reference for the person who asked the question.
If the origin is a widely known fact, then how come most people do not know it?

Yesss, we can finally pot while using hurricane Died so many times at pap when I was 2hko'able lol.

WH's get buffed too right?

So is Iran coming out I want to know skills of it and If there a skill quest for it just like the Aran

Now. Where the heck is the Buccs update?

OT: Amazing new skills. Really makes BMs even more interesting than they already are.

Ladies and gentlemen, raise your glass! A toast to all the hard work, dedication, and time you put on your archer. Tonight we celebrate! =] A-M-E-N.

Hmm, AR turned out better then I expected.
EDIT: Did they let ATT arrows stack yet? Or are Archers still gonna be arrow-less? o-o

-_- Wooo... my Class is going to be the weakest class! WOOOO! YEAH NEXON THANKS FOR NOT BUFFING US BEFORE UNLIKE THE OTHERS AND THEN NOT GIVING US OUR OWN REVAMP!

Oh hey, my ranger will actually be fun to play in around 8~12 months?

Woohoo.

@JPanda:

Why assume i have a problem with it? I could care less who has the skills as long as I still have them, just saying what he said was said by Dits.

@HsMule4sale: Guess by process of elimination, it has to be a thief.

Basiler 1: THE WIND@! IS IT HERE YET?

Basiler 2: Nope, I just farted

Basiler 3: *flame*

wtf? no cd on concentrate?

I'm liking the sound effects a lot.

That ultimate inferno's animation looks very crude... Like it doesn't fit.
Double jump lololol copied WH's jag jump same distance and sound effects and crap

THIS PROVES that we don't need rebirth.

[quote=Spaznats]Wow 3 classes with FJ like skill now. Not gonna be surprised when warriors get FJ... =.=[/quote]

-cough DWs cough-

[quote=HsMule4sale]@IImaplers: Yes, but it couldn't be an archer.
Also, the hat for the pirate is similar/same as the Canal Hoods for level 100 thieves.[/quote]

Yea, that's weird.

Okay, so when's the bandwagon?

[quote=zEric7x]Quit whining. Archers could use a mobility skill. almost all ranged classes have one but us.[/quote]

Deja vu. <Dits> All thieves have FJ but us. <Archers> All ranged classes have one but us. From there we gonna have double jump on every class!

[quote=bored321]Nope, you get a dumbed down version of NL's Drain instead. lol[/quote]

FFFFF
Oh well, twas fun while it lasted.

[quote=HsMule4sale]Pirate on right, thief on left.[/quote]

Left looks a lot more like another pirate to me. He has a skull on his hat and I've never seen a hat like that made for thieves. But it's very hard to even tell. Could be a pirate, could be a thief.

[quote=bored321]The TS doesn't mention that Drain is only for Bowmaster and Dragon Pulse is only for Crossbowman, but both get Concentration.[/quote]

What.
No more... giant green dragon head from my bow? D:

[quote=DarkQuill]Interesting changes.

Too bad all the Sins are gonna be complaining you 'stole' 'their' double-jump ability.[/quote]

It's been "Stolen" so many times there isn't really a point of complaining anymore.
