The "Blade Fury = Sudden Raid" Theory

[header]What happen?[/header]
There are many who have been questioning the "afterlife" of Sudden Raid.
The "afterlife" being, what happens to this [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-item-Sudden-Raid-30-5157.html]item[/url]?

I've told many that SR mastery books will become BF mastery books. Lets elaborate.

[header]My theory of the skill change.[/header]
Sudden Raid Mastery Books (NX and non-nx) atm elevate the skill to lvl30, but
At Chaos, Blade Fury will replace Sudden Raid. Once replaced, Blade Fury will continue the same functions under similar conditions, as Sudden Raid was. (except for the cooldown)
The conditions are that a mastery book (not skill) must be obtained i.e. "Sudden Raid 30" or better yet at chaos now known as "Blade Fury 30".

This is all based on logic that once a skill is replaced, it will retain the same conditions as the previous skill, only under a different name.

[header]Simpler Explantion[/header]

Skill: SR = BF so
Mastery Book: SR30 = BF30
because it makes sense logically

[header]What to do now?[/header]
There are many who are taking the risk/gamble by adding sp into SR pre-chaos, hopefully once they get Blade Fury, it will be ready to max or have some points in it. The other risk is buying SR30 (50%) and waiting for Chaos update so the the book changes into BF30 (50%) as mentioned above. Same thing can apply to the SR(NX) although it expires in 90 days if not used.

[header]The Risk[/header]
If my theory is wrong, then Sudden Raid would be removed and instead of replacing, they would be adding Blade Fury to the list. Then also rather the SR mastery books be changed, they would be fully removed/deleted from the game and adding new books Blade Fury 30 into the game.

Theory been proven it a while back with proof. It will be replaced. Just like the situation for Heroes, Brandish and Intrepid Slash.

No, since Brandish was originally a 4th job skill but got replaced by Intrepid Slash, all Nexon did was make the Brandish skillbooks affect your level in Intrepid Slash instead. So now, heroes are still using skillbooks that are named Brandish but they work on Intrepid Slash[/quote]

Interesting, cause with 4th Job Dualblades at Chaos, a similar thing happens where Chains of Hell is moved to lvl70adv and is replaced by Phantom Blow at 120adv.
So most likely the same thing with Heroes will happen to DB?

[quote=pyschokid0200]OR, they'll just do what they did with Brandish/Intrepid Slash and make you use the old skill books for the new skills...With no item changes in game[/quote]

What exactly did they do with Brandish/Intrepid Slash, is there a [Skill Book] required for Intrepid Slash?
