I haven't tried vellum because I would kill it too weak but for gollux, I would enter equilibrium mode about 20 secs from light mode, and 30 secs from dark mode, but it's a stationary boss. So for bosses that move fast like magnus, it might take more. I don't know if KMS lumi has more dps than GMS lumi, but I definitely see myself enter equilibrium mode much more often. Before I used Spectral Light and Equilibrium mode. Now I have to use Apocalypse and Reflection (cause Spectral Light got nerf damn hard, it was 3xx% ), and Equilibrium. I don't know if the frequency of entering equilibrium mode from KMS system would make up for Spectral Light.

So basically lumi's are arguably the worst Hero class going right now.
Considering all the other hero classes dont require an equilibrium mode to boss efficiently.
i would be okay with these changes if our weapons were faster, but we've only become slower, less mobile, and for the cost of our already below-par duration for ender....

@sorlilly: They completely nerfed it. Apparently nexon doesn't realize that Lumi can't teleport mid-air. Even though, KMS system helps lumi spam ender more, it makes bosses like gollux or magnus harder to avoid or up a platform due to teleport nerf + reflection range nerf makes it so now it can't hit the mobs at the bottom. Overall, slightly better bossing but mobbing and mobility got worse.

@ttbluerabbit135: well i logged with my lumi at it seems that we got the kms lumi version, so no more godly training for gms lumis, i guess lumis will be better bossers with this...

Something tells me Luminous Reflection and Spectal Light is getting nerfed. Hope it isn't true since their bossing is already bad compared to mobbing. Although seems like we might be getting the KMS version of luminous although i'm not sure if that will happen.
