Mlc - Evan Suggestions and Changes
Hi,
I am the Maple Leaf Council Evan councillor and I am here to hear your concerns about the class. It is no doubt that Evans are one of the best Mage classes to ever grace MapleStory however we have been neglected for too long, frailing away like a wilting flower that is yet to blossom. So far, most of the buff casting issues are being resolved in the Reboot Patch which hopefully will come out in the next six months. Before that happens, I need to collect and collate some feedback about Evan and here are some of the issues we face being the job that we are.
It has come to the attention of Evans that our Teleport is totally outdated.
We are unable to buff whilst moving unlike our other Magician counterparts.
The Blaze skill is disgustingly awful at range compared to chain lightning and reflection.
We don't have a link skill along with Aran.
There aren't enough good Dragon Equipment.
These are some of the issues that I have come across. Please, if there are more issues, post here.
Kind Regards,
SpiritOfMir.

It would be great if they moved the second mount quest to a location other than herb town. It's essentially impossible to take on level 130 monsters at level 80 and once you're actually strong enough to fight them, you end up reaching the level 120 quest pretty quickly and your effort reaps basically zero reward.
I feel like they should decrease the costs of the Evan Mount. The fact that we need to pay for 3 saddles gets quite annoying.
Kanna only needs to pay 200k for theirs...
Some issues that I have personally have with the Evan class are: new animations, rework of old skills, interaction with Mir, and all our buffs have different durations which is very annoying. I would like it if all the buffs had the same duration like most classes these days.
They could buff Soul Stone, since it's not in a place to be nerfed but was nerfed in KMS, if it had any use before, this doesn't help, it has the same cool down as the other revives but is the worst out of all of them.
Thanks guys for the input! are there any more suggestions?
[quote=Sammi]Here's a copy and paste of what I posted on Reddit a month ago, I hope its all still relevant:
It bothers me how Nexon could've made Evan a really cool class, not that it isn't already.
Mir, the great Onyx Dragon is reduced to an accessory like an NX cape. Nexon could've made more interactions with Mir, or make him like a pet! I wish Nexon added like emotes or expressions when you say certain things to Mir like a pet. How about Mir resting when your character sits too? Poor Mir is flying all the time. The only interaction Evans get with Mir is clicking the chat button in skill tab, and he just says one line. So much for a soul-bound partner.
Also what about Mir accessories or armor? Allow us to make our Mir a little different from other Mirs. This kind of bothers me because Mechs have different colored armor, and WHs have different jaguars.
Evan skills bother me too, they give us all these different elemental skills, but end game is dominantly fire. I wish there were a little variety, especially since Elemental staves aren't end-game weapons anymore. One of the skills that bothers me the most is Blaze, it's our 10th growth skill but it's not used as often compared to FW for mobbing and DoT and Illusion is the best single target skill - where does this leave Blaze? Stun isn't even useful anymore that I'm aware of.
It's a little repetitive since the other posts say the same, but I wanna emphasize the first part with the interaction between us and Mir. [/quote]
OMG MIR INTERACTION
Never thought of that, THIS PLS LOL
I would like to again speak against turning Soul Stone into a door-like skill (although this may be just for oz purposes LOL f3)
I would say prolly increasing DOT damage in Flame Wheel because its really kind of a joke of a DOT. Same with Killer Wings
Also either better teleport distance or jump teleport.
Other that class is peachy
[quote=Rexaar]An idea for Evan is a advanced version of ice breath, Lighting Bolt, Magic Flare, just so Evan can be a master of all 5 elements since Evan late game focused too much on fire.[/quote]
It would be really cool if they could create some sort of elemental shift system where you can switch between elements.
Other than that, I agree with what most people already have mentioned in this thread, especially the animations...
omg you're finally on basil
As others said:
- Animations
- Blaze
- Soul stone should turn to an auto ressing skill like the Bishop's Hyper Door skill.
- Jump Teleport
The Reboot update is already decreasing skill delays so I'm content with that already.

My only complaints is that is there any point for any of Dark Fog hyper skill, when the hyper skill for illusion and blaze is much more beneficial?
Also flame wheel damage over time, is it even necessary when it such a small number over such a long duration

The Blaze skill is disgustingly awful at range compared to chain lightning and reflection.
[/quote]
I'm just saying, Blaze and Chain Lightning have almost the same range. Reflection is the OP one that bounces everywhere.
Addendum: Blaze also hits more targets and without SI/Inner ability bonuses, it has more hits per second than CL on account of faster Evan casting speed.
[quote=keyan22]I say we are basically perfect due to the change in KMS aside from teleport being outdated and blaze being basically useless, I do want new animations however.
Oh ya as you said above, we don't have a link skill either, the soul stone nerf in KMS was rather pointless too.[/quote]
This basically. An entire overhaul of the class would remove it's current uniqueness and playstyle which I'm sure is why most Evans have stayed with this class.
Our teleport is indeed outdated, however it is a little longer than other classes horizontally-wise (which is nice) but like others have said, the ability to teleport upwards or jump teleport would be incredibly useful (37f wouldn't be a pain for me LOL)
New animation and spread style for most notably blaze is pretty much my only request besides jump or up tele, I'm pretty much content with everything else.
(and oh yeah, like quoted said the soul stone nerf in KMS was rather pointless. Especially with the new empress changes, it'll only be useful for most notably oz which not many people do anyways)

I would suggest making Mir a toggle On/Off skill as it can be very irritating during jump quests.
Another thing I would suggest is giving it more speed/jump. I'm level 210 and I still have 124% speed and 114% jump. >.<
[quote=iRelays]Their Magic Guard is weak compared to other classes.
They consume lot of pot and too much Cooldowns.
Their mobility and stance while mobbing is not great.
Too many buffing skills and lesser attack skill.
Deals Very low damage.[/quote]
I don't agree with most of this derp
[quote=Rollsback]Its cast delay will be decreased in the reboot patch.
Maple Warrior: cast delay has been decreased from 2250ms to 1500ms[/quote]
there is hope
[quote=TurtleTable]all I want man
I don't care about illusion, I don't care about blaze having a terrible animation
I can work through the damage
I just want the new MW animation.
It shouldn't take 30 minutes to cast Maple Warrior.[/quote]
