General

I can see where you are coming from trust me. Its always so discouraging when other people outdamage me solely on the basis that their class is much much stronger. However, I don't think that we have it THAT bad. I can train at HoH at a pretty reasonable rate and a person before already stated that a 100k range is not that hard to attain. Not to mention that BKB makes us one of the few classes that can hit two platforms at once as a main attacking skill.

@xXKiidJayXx: scratch that, its 265 m.att 55% boss dmg, 7% total dmg and 7% int

@xXKiidJayXx: Well that depends on what you define as "op". If being in the top 10 for dpm does not count as being "op", than i'm not to sure what to tell you. Otherwise if you want to play an oped class, play a kaiser. Stacking bb, and big crunch aura would be game breaking, rather than just a buff.

@xXKiidJayXx: Same applies to you.
P.S. The value of a Goblin Bat is nothing, considering you can get it for free

[quote=xXKiidJayXx]What are the stats on your staff? I price checked mine before I quit and a friend told me it's worth about 3-4B.[/quote] iirc it was around 27x ish matt, 55% boss dmg and 7% magic att

Um, Battle Mage is a top tier job in terms of everything. HP/MP covered, Max speed/jump covered, Drain skill covered, 100% stance covered, Aura party buffs covered, invincibility covered, range(with BKB) covered. FLY improves on the playstyle a bit giving Dark Gen a purpose and adding a forward lunge rush giving us both push and pull options now along with more raw damage overall.

My Battle Mage only has a 273 matt staff and a 10matt 15% int pair of earrings alongside the basic evoring/6% Tempest/absolute ring combo and it still holds about a 100k+ range when fully buffed with link skills.

Anything could be hiding under that NX of yours or it could be fused and as for humiliating me? I'm sorry to let you down but you didn't.
P.S. The value of an Elemental Staff is like 30M with all the gachapon tickets and such.

@xXKiidJayXx: Ik, compared to RED it is a huge let down but it is better than nothing. Especially mechs, their update in FLY is laughable

[quote=xXKiidJayXx]Or Nexon could have allowed them to stack so we could be on par with half these new/revamped OP classes. And please don't tell me I'm wrong and that "Battle Mages are already OP", cuz we ain't.[/quote]
Except you're already pretty on par if you're decently funded. @_@

[quote=xXKiidJayXx]I'm pitiful, coming from a person who looks heavily funded? Now go ahead and try to prove my statement wrong by saying you have no funding. Any class is fun when you have funding.[/quote]

He looks heavily funded?

[quote=crazypoorer]So you're quitting because you're not as strong as other classes or because Nexon won't make you OP? That's an even more pitiful reason[/quote]

[quote=DeathmanX0]Because having 75% damage instead of 50% damage is not really a buff? That's a 25% damage increase.[/quote]

lol who cares if BCA dosent stack with BB, that would be too OP man -.-
BCA still TRIPLES the effect of our auras.
and they JUST buffed our Bl0w skill in the dawnveil patch giving it 40% more dmg, 20% PDR and 20% boss dmg.
your just greedy if your asking more after that.
and honestly, its better that they work on our passive skill/buffs that our main attacking skill, since its those that make us more strong.
why do you think peoples always max passive skills first and attacking skills last.

anyway, your quiting your BaM for such a petty reason. thats good for me, ill be a bit more unique.

Too bad Battle Mages are already pretty top tier.

[quote=xXKiidJayXx]While this is true, Big Crunch Aura does not stack with Body Boost and they didn't even buff our main attacking move. All in all, FLY is a poor excuse for a buff/update.[/quote]

[quote=annablackz]I'm in the same position as you, atm i'm only waiting for FLY update, if it does not satisfy me then i'll just main something else; problem is i can't seem to sell my staff in order to fund luminous/fp mage[/quote]

What are the stats on your staff? I price checked mine before I quit and a friend told me it's worth about 3-4B.
