Maplestory Red overhaul

Apparently in MS RED, adventurers, including our cleric/priest/bishop, will be receiving a complete re-haul.
How do you feel about our class possibly becoming entirely different? Exciting or terrifying?

Explorer creation has been blocked in KMS. This is gonna be big, and frightening.

I'm excited to see what new skills we might obtain, but I'm a little worried we'll lose that "adventurer touch" and just become like all the other new classes, who pump out lines and lines of flashy damage, which in my opinion would be a little boring and unoriginal.

I highly doubt that our party support skills will be removed, they may be altered slightly, but not removed as they are the main point of our class being a separate class in the first place. We would just be 'Arch Mage (Light/Holy)' otherwise. lol I think we will see something similar to whatever changes are made to the Blaze Wizard, which are still unrevealed as of yet. All of the Cygnus Knights so far have gotten a bigger box for damage and I definitely expect that for Bishops as well, especially considering the flaw of Angel Ray's very vertically limited damage box. But we do have a long wait ahead of us, I would say at least a year before we see the RED patch coming to GMS.

They won't be giving us less party skills. They'll most likely give us more and less attacking skills. At least according to their description which was"the center of any good party". I don't know how I feel about this.

If I could wish for one thing to stay the same though it would be our glorious critical %.

I really want the Buccaneer I-Frames back. Some [b]MOBILITY[/b] would be nice, considering that we are the slowest class in the game.

Gawd I hope changes come to my I/L as well.

Announcing another class in the update kills my belief.

I can't wait to see how they are going to change the class.
Seeing what they did with BaM and Wild Hunter - We could become a brand new class with the same name!

Sky is the limit though. This is an all or nothing situation for KMS since they lost a lot of players and I believe they're gonna do a better job this time.

If the wording sounds like it does, it's like we may get a CK-esque type of revamp (or rather a reboot as it would more appropriately be).

at the same time, i'm kinda scared if we have to get more mastery books.[/quote]

The way its usually done is if one skill is removed and another is put in its place, the max level of the old skill becomes equal to the new one so you won't need another book =P at least until 5th job (or if they add new skills that don't take the place of any ones we currently have but I find that unlikely)

LF>Angel Ray to gain vertical range, or a new 4th job attack that doesn't require a skillbook and a wider range.

Terrifying.

Well, considering we haven't even received Unlimited yet, Red will be a LONG way off.

I'm hoping they do a decent job of actually rebalancing the classes so there aren't ridiculously OP classes that make the others look like crap.
