The nerf hits BWs extremely hard, but the NW nerf barely affects them at all. One skill even gets buffed during the NW nerf

The nerf on Bw cuts the amount of damage per line and amount of lines per hit in half, so expect about 1/4 of its current damage after the nerf.[/quote]

Not sure where you got that info from. The only thing cut is one line from Orbital, going from 4 to 3 with hypers.

OT: If you don't want to feel a nerf, just wait to put your hyper points into Orbital until after it hits - you'll actually see a slight buff if you do that.

when Nw come out play both of them and see which one you like and fund it. If you fund either of them to about or near max damage it wouldn't matter.
Every classes is going to go through the Nerf revamp cycle again as always

Blaze Wizards get hit pretty hard by the nerf. Chances are nobody will be playing them post-nerf.

It's the same as all the other cygnus link skills, 2% status resistance.

Nw on the other hand only loses bat bounces and 10% boss. If your starting a new character, I'd say nw would be best for entertainment value, not a lot of classes out there allows you to attack and flash jump/back jump while throwing stars mid animation.

I was told by people who played in KMS that the BW nerf totally cuts their DPS heavily and is horrible. I have no experience with this since I don't play KMS but that's just what I heard.

depends what you want to do.
bossing - nw for sure
training - bw for sure
idk which one is easier to fund since idk how the damage formula or skills will change for nw when it's revamped

also, it should be notable that bw is greatly affected by lag, for either better or worse, generally for worse. orbital flame is dependent on a strong connection, if you lag, orbs wont fly out when they're supposed to.

BW got a big nerf to their bossing capabilities. NW only lost 10% boss damage and some bounce hits on bats (only matters at bosses with multiple targets)

Mobbing/Training: Blaze Wizard
Bossing: Night Walker

Night Walker is a bit more mobile because they get double FJ (From what I've seen) and has great healing from the bats.
Blaze Wizard burns [b][i]everything.[/i][/b]
