TFW you like the Job's theme but not the playstyle

I like the way NW looks, but it's pretty tough to do that jump cancel, I can do it but to do it consistently is even more of a hassle than Blaster to me. I dislike activating sticky keys because that messes up some other keys. NL is like finding a shirt that fits me nicely, but not liking how the shirt itself looks.

DrK too, it's fun until 4th job. Impale is eh, but Gungnir's animation on the character is just so boring despite that it does massive damage.

I'm not a big fan of the pirate theme, Jett sucks, which is unfortunate. (I treat TB as more of an aquaman theme than a pirate theme, so that's why I like TB.)

Damn Hero, why do you have to have SUCH A BORING MAIN 4TH JOB SKILL ANIMATION?! I'm not patient enough to never see you again at 170/5th job.

Anyways, do you guys like the look of some jobs but just can't go through with it because the playstyle just isn't for you? Or some other thing about it that just makes it intolerable to main? It's such a bummer to me.

@notaxelfenrir: 5th job makes attacking look more like a scythe than a staff.

has a cooldown though, I'm not a fan of NX scythes since they tend to look HUGE, and look awful when carried as a 1-handed.

@deeemon: you misunderstood, I dislike Gungnir because there's no animation or anything with the character, it's just a simple swing down, not even a slash after effect on the spear. 0 opacity would be the same with Hero, it looks silly.

@deeemon: Opacity doesn't solve anything, otherwise I wouldn't care about Gungnir.

@redeyed: What in tarnation

On-topic: Not too thrilled with Kaiser's gameplay. It's a shame because I love the lore and theme behind this class.

I also primarily play spellcasters in MMORPGs, but a lot of the mages in this game don't feel fun to play. I think it mostly has to do with their attacks (and Kaiser's Blade Burst as well, come to think of it) being unusable in air.

I think Jetts are really cool but as a class they're totally pathetic.

I've got to admit that without the Enrage effect, Raging Blow is pretty ugly. There's something unsatisfying about an upward swing like that just happening over and over again. I definitely don't get "raging" from its animation that's for sure.

i/Ls have a weirdly infuriating playstyle to them to me. I'm not sure what it is, but something about using Chain Lightning came across as really unsatisfying to me and I had a bad time playing the character. I really like the 5th job skills too, so it's frustrating.

I can't play a Blaster or Night Walker or any other classes the way they were meant to be played, I just play whatever way feels comfortable to me, dood. I used to like Shadower's playstyle, but look what dumb nexon did to them, made the class completely unplayable. Dragon Khanjar is still the coolest shield ever, but I never get to frig around with it anymore, dood.

Ugly-ass animations? Just lower the opacity, dood. nexon is obviously too damn lazy to make different skill skins, dood. They never listen to us, dood.
