Skills That Irk Me

Hello Basil,

I really dislike skills that use an object to hit. What I mean is like, Cannoneer's 3rd job skill Cannon Spike. It uses a cannon of the skill to shoot the drill out, instead of using the character's actual weapon. Just like almost all Buccaneer's skills that use the energy spirit behind. I mean, a few skills that use objects are fine, but way too many do. He's not always there with you if you use other skills, just a select few.

There are many more, but these are the ones I feel are very noticeable. To me, Evan doesn't really count because although it's Mir attacking, Mir is with you all the time, for all skills. It's weird having random objects/tools pop out to hit instead of hitting with your own weapon. I feel like they should modify these skills and remove the objects, and make it seem like you attack with your own weapon. Or they could make it like the old Transformation or Eagle Eye, where you could only use select skills when you're transformed. I feel like if Eagle Eye comes up behind you every time you hit, that would make the job less appealing.

These are just my thoughts, and you don't have to agree but I feel like these kinds of skills make me not want to play the job. A few of these skills would be very cool, but too many of them ruins the uniqueness in my opinion.

Happy Mapling guys~

I assume that you don't agree with my opinion. o_O

@iVege
Finally, someone that agrees with my thoughts.

@Maxilonius
Yes yes, I feel like the random objects that pop up make it very weird and not fluid, like you said.

@Croodle
They should make ultimates that detailed, not regular moves, or else they won't feel special, amirite?

They feel a tad over-detailed, especially dragon slash IV, in comparison to everything else.

I absolutely agree. This has always irked me.

However, only when the weapons are physical. This is usually indicated by a black outline e.g. with Blunderbuster and Raging Blow, but not Dragon Fury or Intrepid Slash.

It's weird how they fade in and out and appear out of nowhere, yes.

However, they do not compare with the Tempest-style animations, which are my most recent gripes. There are two types: skills like Rage Uprising, Battleking Bar's explosion, Dark Synthesis' sword, Xenon's 4th job purple flame buff etc. The other is the 'flames' from skills like Double Pierce, Soul Seeker, Wingbeat, Megiddo Flame, Dragon Barrage's trail, Dragon Slash's hit animation, Fatality's burst in mid-air etc.

There also seems to be new Tempest-styled dust and smoke, seen in the dust that usually appears with some attacks and Demon Avenger's Inhale Vitality.

@Rowa1998
In my opinion, the UA skills are fine, because it shows the job instructor you learned the skill from. But yeah I agree.

@Zeff
Thanks matey!

@Gregar41
Just an opinion. :C

@bluebomber24
I actually like this one because it's quite rare to see for me. But if 6 use it repeatedly, then I see what you mean.

@MyGunner
I don't not like pirates, their actually my 2nd favorite adventurer job branch. XD It's just that after that revamp they removed the battleship and transformation. :C And yes you could say that for Mechanics, but what I mean is that nothing really pops out in their skill. They do use guns, but since their on the machine the whole time, it doesn't really seem like it pops out of nowhere. The machine is part of a Mechanic. ;P

@XtraCannon
Cannon Spike shoots from a cannon, but not the one you're using. There's a bigger one that pops out when you use the skill. If they made the drill shoot from your weapon, I would like Cannoneers plenty more. ^^

@MeMagicalPie
Lol o_O

@Wush
I know, but I wish they would change it. -_- That's why I don't really care for new classes anymore because the skills are quite random.
