Evan

Once again nexon you faild me

evans used to be unique, we used to be strong useful....
our fire dmg used to be different from all the other classes and we had style with our large numbers
after this new patch...
WE ALL SUCK
here is my list:
1) evans sacrifice huge dmg for speed but fw is around the same speed and does much less dmg
2) earthquake goes nowhere and is super weak
3) monsters in LHC lost there fire weakness so evans dont hit as high making us completely useless cuz of our low dps
4) wdf happen to pvp earthquake and fw have cd time... which only leaves us with illusion and blaze (which have little to no range)
5) evan buffs do absolutely nothing in pvp (except magic guard) the rest of them dont do anything trust me i tested it already
6) evan's were supposed to be better at bossing after chaos... i timed it we are actually slower
well nexon idk what to say... should i quit my evan after ive come so far i mean idk...</3

P.S. if there is any other issue you have with evan and would like to share it with nexon plz post below id be happy to add to my list

[quote=CrunchBars]1. Deal with it. We can't do anything to make Nexon change it.
2) Use Flame Wheel, or get stronger.
3) Who cares. Deal with it, it was unfair anyway.
4) Use Thrust. We hit the hardest, which is why all our skills have cooldowns.
5) Takes too long to rebuff anyway. Booster+MG is all you should be casting when re-spawning. Onyx Shroud helps loads with the 20% dodge.
6) We're actually faster. Takes me half an hour to solo Zakum unfunded, compared to not being able to even take down arms at the 15 minute mark.

Quit your Evan if you want to, no one's stopping you. All of us who continue playing are the ones that are true to our class.[/quote]

i am very sad that Evans turned out like this, but it wont keep me from playing my Evan.
we get that 25% ignore thingie on blaze after Jump, but i doubt that would help much...

You sir, are a [b]L[/b]oad [b]O[/b]f [b]L[/b]ies.

Foreword - That remark on unique fire damage is absolute [Insert cow]. [b]Fire[/b]/ Poison Magicians, [b]Blaze[/b] Wizards. Large numbers =/= style. Large numbers = FUNDING. And I'd take speed over power any day. That's because I couldn't deal with 15 more levels with Fire Breath. I just can't.

1) I see you failed to realize the incredibly long range of Flame Wheel. I think it's the longest non-ultimate skill in terms of horizontal range. Advanced Dark Chains is either equal, or less in range.
2) First off, you're supposed to use Flame Wheel at that level, and Earthquake is a GODSEND for every Evan under 120. Even after Chaos, it's still considered amazing, especially when combined with Blink
3) Yes, because screwing over every Ice-based class just for a bit of damage is nice
4) Learn how to PvP correctly then, you're not supposed to spam ANYTHING. Spamming gets you killed, gets you angry, gets you nothing but a lose.
5) I'm sorry, too busy standing around for 2 minutes tanking hits with Magic Shield and Magic Resistance, along with Magic Guard.
6) Biased information. Take a third party, have them time how fast you actually boss now. If you're slower, that's because you're doing it wrong. Every Evan I've met had said they've bossed faster.

Only problem I see with Evans is Blaze. As another Evan said, why the [Insert #2] do we need ANOTHER 1v1 skill? It's just better to boost Illusion, then bring Blaze back to it's former glory.

This is bullSh
1. The only time where this matters is when the damage difference also makes a difference whether you 2hit or 1hit, otherwise, DPM is better, so screw that.
2. EQ`s range wasn`t nerfed as bad. It`s also super fast, makes up for the damage loss IMO. I can kill a mob in ToT that takes 3 hits without them even attacking me, before, with the slow speed, I couldn`t, I always had to take damage.
3. Well, this is in no way connected with the changes of Evans. Nexon did that cause KMS did that. We have to adapt to this. As for me, I haven`t been to LHC since Chaos. This game isn`t only about leveling and now, when they`ve released PvP and professions, there are so many more things to do than grind.
4. You`re not suppose to spam 1 skill in pvp. Some classes can do that because they don`t have many skills at all, like NL`s. In pvp, you`re suppose to use as many skills as you can while you have CD`s on other skills. Use stun, freeze skills, then attack with your most damage dealing skill. It`s perfect. I wouldn`t want to spam flamewheel there too.
5. Not much of a problem if you ask me. As long as I can always get into top 3 with rare exceptions, why is that a problem?
6. Let`s see, my papulatus time has gone down A LOT since chaos. I can pin the dam boss now. Before illusion took so dam long to cast, he already did 2 attacks on me. Now he`s lucky if he 1/1 me 5 times a match. Illusion is fast and can pin now, our dpm is also slightly better.

Yes, we lost our big numbers, but honestly, it`s for the best. Dragon blink is an awesome skill, the class overall is much more enjoyable. I don`t know about our last growth, and I`m sure i`d like the mobing blaze over the current one too, but we have stance now. It`s awesome! I think the evan class is much more playable to the whole community than it was before.

Im quitting mine too. I just made a perfect ele wand before i did ;]
The range on illusion (If im not wrong) Is horrible. before id be killing monsters out of my screen, i didnt even have to look at pap for the whole solo. Now i have to be much closer. Thats the only thing i dislike. Aside from pvp, where everything is cooldown and i cant even illusion full speed, while nls are throwing triple throw without even the slightest change.

Here's my answer:
1) Nothing we can do about it.
2) That's why you use Flamewheel.
3) Damage isn't everything. You have a party to help you kill. Otherwise? As Nexon would say, get some NX and cube.
4) I play fine in PVP and so do other Evans, use Thrust, use other skills.
5) Spell Booster is useful, so is Onyx Will, plus it takes too much time to re-buff.
6) Slower? No, I duo Zakum with my Pally friend under 7 minutes, we're faster at boss, slower at training honestly.

Quit if you want. I just think you need to get used to it, really.
