Ultimate Adventurers: Poison Bomb vs Vampire
Did you guys notice how for all the UAs, they each have a 3rd job Cygnus skill except for the thieves? Stuck with a 2nd job skill (Vampire). So of course vampire's going to suck compared to the rest of the Cygnus skills so I'm wondering why did Nexon/KMS do that instead of having Poison Bomb as a extra skill to use. Poison Bomb could be used by Hermits, Chief Bandits, and DBs pretty well if you think about it.
Well what's your opinion/comment about this? I'm just asking after noticing.
Thank you. ~

I was thinking that too. :] Maybe GMS will change it but eh, unlikely...
[quote=Glacier123]I guess it's more of the "image." If you watch that Knights of Cygnus trailer, it shows them using their signature Cygnus skills. Nightwalkers are the only ones that are depicted using a 2nd job skill, vampire.
The image of vampire seems more fitting to me than a thief using poison bomb. That's really my opinion, though. Oh and, vampire is not really that bad. I think post-BB, vampire is better to some extent, and I can say that vampire looks so much cooler.[/quote]
Wows. This makes a lot of sense. I guess I just wanted to use the cygnus skill for training which is why I suggested Poison Bomb but oh wells. They're both purple. :]
It's not like they had a lot of choice, when you give a class a grand total of five attacking skills, two of them being basic star-throwing skills.
[quote=ABurntCrisp]I agree. Even though poison bomb is sort of useless, its better than vampire.[/quote]
Not really. Post-BB, Poison Bomb is useless as you deal more damage with the buffed-up Avenger + SP.
Pre-BB, it was nice at least, since you could leech with it. Times have changed now since most monsters and their exp are only slightly differentiated/almost very similar.
At least with Vampire, it can be a 2nd job mob skill for Assassin's (since they lack one), and has the healing bonus (which is nice for Bandit's), but it doesn't work with SP which is one negative aspect.

That's why you won't see thief UAs. Mostly warrior ones.
Remain on topic guys. DBs are adventures but can't be made into UA. Unless GMS changes it. End of story. Back to the Poison Bomb Vs Vampire topic now.
Vampire with Shadower = EPIC, since assassins have drain they dont need vampire
but shadowers can get hp from the skill meaning they heal with that skill XD
Chakra needs charging so its kinda a party skill but when soloing you use vampire and you heal yourself XD
I already know you can't make a UA DB but you can get the skill as an adventurer.
Maybe it has something to do with the animation? Each U.A koc skills has the instructor appear. Having the thief instructor appearing when you use poison bomb doesn't look as cool as vampire, well IMO.
its because all theifs are already really strong
Yeah, it's pretty stupid if you ask me. Though, Poison Bomb as a replacement is pretty moot now because of how the accuracy formula is like until Chaos patch.
Vampire is still somewhat decent (for Assassin's) because if you didn't notice, Assassin's are the only class without a 2nd job mob skill. :I
