Battle Arena Worse than i imagined

After already doing some 50+ battles on both my main bucc and my dual blade i thought i had already seen it all (with all the cheap classes like bishop, phantom, zero, ect) but just now i finished a battle arena match against a hayato for the first time and im astonished its this bad my entire turn as the boss i was in constant knockback because of some slash skill and could not move as the boss period rendering me motionless for the entire match and unable to kill this hayato unless he got bored of spamming the skill. Hayatos from what i see here are instant win unless you manage not to die at all on theyre boss stage/kill theyre boss and are lower level. Simply disappointed, they cant come up with ONE decent pvp mode.

Boss Arena is actually very fun but definitely needs balancing. I don't have a huge problem with rushing skills but the healing is insanely cheap. Also the fact that the only way to kill the boss is to have an insane range makes things very unfair too. The concept of it all is great but it's very unbalanced.

[quote=OoYuukioO]Well even if Hayatos can spam "Hitoriki Strike", they need the hyper skill at lvl 177 to make the cooldown 1 second. The dilemma here is there isn't many Hayatos that have reached that lvl xD

If Zero's were able to use their Rolling Cross skill, it would have been even worst to be up against a Zero

MapleStory just isn't cut out for this PvP style, the game is just ridiculously unbalanced to even be able to try and make PvP work.[/quote]

Thanks for the info i thought it was something all hayatos can spam but its good to know they at least need to be 17x+ as for the zero skill it can be annoying but ive gotten out of it its possible, but this hayato spamming kb skill is just ridiculous.

It really isn't suitable for PvP, and MapleStory should have learned that back in 2011 when Demon Slayers destroyed the whole competition.

PvE is it's best point, let's leave it like that.

They had a decent PvP a while back during Chaos. Too bad they removed it and replaced it.

You clearly have never done the boss arena pvp, thanks for the input though.
