Which Classes Got Buffed/Nerfed the Most?

Which Classes Got Buffed/Nerfed the Most in the most recent KMS patch?
I'd like to hear two for both categories. Just curious.

For worst nerf, I [i]would've[/i] said Paladins... if they kept the changes to Blast during Pt 1, making it have a pointless cooldown time.

But [b]they've changed that back and removed the cooldown[/b] after they realized that f'd up their damage badly. In return, blunt weapons are now more balanced compared to swords, Blast buff duration got doubled, and Blast is back to the 10-hit version (also hitting slightly harder too, but not as hard as the original RED-revamp version, which dealt 318% a line rather than 290%). Overall, their buff is respectable, but there's still other things that need work.

But best buff goes to Mihile. They got a [b]full-on revamp[/b], even if it seemed highly unlikely beforehand. Having a 5 sec cd shield active that can block a %HP attack entirely is more powerful than you think; it also lets you ignore DR and Weapon Cancel after enough stacks. However, this means that they are still subject to being nerfed in the future, like all classes that get released/revamped.

Worst nerfs... Well, Zero got flat damage nerfs all around, and all Cygnus Knight classes lost their enemy elemental resistance ignore (replaced by a 10% M.ATT/ATT passive), which is significant for endgame bossing. AFAIK, the only classes that have elemental ignore now are I/L, F/P, Evan, Luminous, and Bishop (albeit 25% from Avenging Angel).

[quote=twopointonefour]I'd say Bow Master got the best overall buff from this patch. 25% attack, 30 more attack, increased damage on hurricane (+hyper damage increased), hypers applying to arrow platter and even more great stuff.[/quote]

I like this <3

Massive is a bit of a hyperbole. They definitely took a hit, but I wouldn't say it's the end of the world.

@stevenman76: WA's got Nexon'd. They needed more ignore defense, not more boss. So not only do they lose their saving grace (50% elemental ignore), but it's "replacement" isn't even what they need.

Zero's and NW's got the worst nerfs, BM's and Evans got pretty nice buffs, as did Mihile ofc.

I'm most excited for the Phantom buffs though.

This. Biggest buff out of all classes because they were nothing before hand.

You don't quite understand the term "nexon'd." Thats intended for anything bad/greedy that happens

Nexon hates pirates. Look at Buccs lol useless skills that are slow as cow dung, outdated animations, and dumb skills that don't fit the brawler theme.

I think it's pretty obvious who took the hardest blow. We just tell ourselves "Time heals all wounds".

Heroes got a buff but it probably wasnt the best.
The best buff: Probably Mihile?
The worst nerf: Probably Zero or DS
