Returning mapler, what happened while I was gone?

Hello y'all. Last time I was playing this game, mercedes cannoneer and DS were just released. Can someone fill me in on what happened while I was gone? Also is there a DPS chart yet for this new update? What classes are above/below average right now? What should I make sure to do on my account? I think when I was last playing I was leveling a BW. Well, anywho I need someone to help me, and so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Would this be an accurate training guide to follow?

[quote=TheCatsHat]So you're saying people no longer follow builds for their skills order?
What classes have link skills? Which ones should I get?[/quote]I haven't for years
Every class after cannon shooter has one. You should get everyone, particulary Mercedes (+10% exp), Kanna (+5/10% damage) and Phantom (+10% crit). I don't believe they're avaiable for creation right now tho.

[quote=Miauri]Every class after Resistance lets you max all skills anyways I believe. No class equips requires any stats anymore, so you just go pure stats now.
Oh, and 3rd job adv is level 60, 4th job is level 100 now. Except Evan and DB and KoC

You can link linkskills in level 70 if your class has one.[/quote]

[quote=TheCatsHat]^^^Thanks guys. Here's another question, where should I go to find builds for classes now? lurked around the forums and it seems much of them are outdated.[/quote]Every class after Resistance lets you max all skills anyways I believe.

Edit: also, how do I get link skills? And can someone either type out, or give me a link to a training guide? I don't really remember any of the spots I used to go.

After the Legend update there has been a lot of new content.
New Jobs: Phantom, Jett, Mihile, Kaiser, Luminous, Angelic Buster, Kanna and Hayato. Soon Xenon and Demon Avenger will be released too.
Not a lot of new training places. NLC has been revamped, a new area called Root Abyss has been added.
And of course much revamping!
[i]Also is there a DPS chart yet for this new update?[/i]

[i]What classes are above/below average right now?[/i]
Above: Kaiser and Luminous. Demon Slayer is also kind of strong
Below: Phantom, Mercedes, Dark Knight (as you can see in the DPM chart I gave you)
[i]What should I make sure to do on my account?[/i]
If you mean by this for fundings; get your Link Skills and a lvl120 KoC[/quote]Luminous above average? The chart you posted says Luminous is the worst

[quote=TheCatsHat]what are hyper skills? What classes are good right now?[/quote]Hyperskills are skills in three categories
1. Statboosters
2. Passives
3. Actives

Statboosters boosts your stats (HP, crit, dex, luk etc.)
Passives enhances the skills you already have (Extra damage, hits, range etc. depends on the class)
Actives are buffs and a new attack (depends on the class)

Everyone gets them in level 140, except for Jett, Kanna and Hayato. More skills will unlock as you reach a higher level
