Arrow Blaster's damage was reduced from 220% to 181% with the move to 3rd job as well (The turret damage remains the same though).

We still got frozen orb yo

^Yes. Arrow Platter moving to 3rd job is insignificant since we can use 3rd job skills in our 4th job slot. The only nerf Phantoms receive is indirectly from DrK's Crossover Chains change which is reasonable. (Although I'm a little bitter about it ) Though one benefit from this is that we get to carry one more 4th job skill than we usually do So we can have Final Cut (for mobbing) and Showdown (for drop rate) without having to switch out our stolen skills all the time.

?

Arrow Blaster is just moving to 3rd job? then it doesn't change a thing, Phantom can still use it for the 4th job slot, what are you all talking about, Cross surge 100%=>80%, that's something, could have been much worse though.

looks like the delay in many Mech skills is a lot lower. And some mobs are getting a big buff in hp/exp o.o it's almost 3x or something, no, sometimes more

@hiyoko What I understood from the KMST Bowmaster changes thread they are actually being slightly buffed. The Bowmaster changes are only negatively affecting Phantoms.

Great, so they are making phantoms weak again. They should remove that skill change cooldown.

There seems to be a Corsair buff with Rapid Fire and their concerns, if Google translate is correct, is that this will affect Phantoms to be stronger than Corsairs themselves. Get ready to become the next Mercedes, Phantoms

Shouldn't feel happy about phantom receiving a nerf, but really seems fair after gaving so many buffs to phantom in almost every patch. Hopefully phantom will be more balanced now, even though its kinda ironic that its bowmaster skills getting nerfed but it affects phantoms...

I think the loss in damage can be made up with the 50% damage recieved from Twilight (unless I'm reading that wrong)?

@AeroReborn: Thanks!

I got it from this thread in the southperry link: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2826829/0/Kmst_1_2_508_Bowmaster_Changes.html

[quote=bluebomber24]Well the installation still does its same damage and you can pick 3rd job skills to take up your 4th job slot. Assuming Phantoms have been doing Mille or w/e its called plus Blaster they should only feel the pain from cross over chains nerf.

or am I wrong?[/quote]

Well, Crossover Chains being 3rd job also will cause some troubles for the less funded Phantoms, I guess. So my assumption would be another 4th job attacking skill to maintain Crossover Chains. Unless there's an alternative.
