On a side note some other classes got buffed and a new theme dungeon have opened

Please vent or express how you feel about the revamp

I, on a personal scale am not that happy about this

@Mystelteinn:

Body boost should be fixed, yes, but the auras themselves...something's buggy on the server side, or it works in a way I don't understand, given the odd %s ada gives.

so do we still get to keep our 170 hyper?

[quote=sacro84]Why would there be disappointment in the first place? The ones who liked the revamp dont like battle mage much as it is now, so why are they even playing one

And you forgot, we also get the new hyper that gives +20% max crit dmg, just like SE. And it stacks with SE Body boost isnt fixed btw, but its duration is changed to 150sec, with a cooldown of 90sec. So basically permanent body boost buff [/quote]

From what @LittleTLK said, the fact that they raised bodyboost level back to 20 should fix the missing % we're not getting from it right now. The fact that BB has a current max level of 10 seems to hinder the full effects, possibly because it wasn't recoded for a skill maxed at level 10.

[quote=chickdigger802]disappointment aside... BaM really did get a massive damage bump. 50mattk + mastery + fixed body boost i think + blow boost.[/quote]

[quote=Mystelteinn]Main attack for any decent BaM would be BKB.

FB is just the initiating move. Not that I don't like it, but BKB's where it's at.[/quote]

I guess there really is this disconnect of opinions of the previous revamp stuff for people with BaMs under 170 and ones over 170

I REALLY should get around to grinding away my dude. :X

[quote=chickdigger802]its a shame. If they jsut reskined the revamp blow animations to look like a staff again people everything would have been fine.... well get rid of those dumb fist skills, get dark chain again and old bkb.

Why still keep lightning? It's terrible and useless. And still no hyperskills for final blow, pretty much our main attack!

Anyhow, it doesn't matter much because Nexon will probably trash everything and revamp all resistance in the winter for the hero/resisstance version of RED revamp lol.[/quote]

The scrapped revamped looked so different it may as well be an idea for another class at another time. Doubt it will happen though but ah well.

Does this mean that we'll only need to buy the level 30 mastery book for Maple Warrior as well?

P.S. @ZeroRex: Only a non-battle mage player would say that lol.

[quote=ZeroRex]the original revamp was so awesome idk why people didnt want it, i hate mages but seeing it made me honestly wanna make one. now you guys just look bummy and not as flashy as wild hunters or mechs....again </3[/quote]

Shut your bish a$$ up, Battle Mages are so incredible it isn't even funny anymore. This next revamp we are getting is perfect, I love that dark purple animation for finishing blow it looks clean and it's not TOO flashy , our hyper skill battle king bar is all the flashiness we need honestly. Just stay on your kaiser brah !

And that's why I choose it and you didn't. It's a reference to one my favorite books. And if it's any consultation I don't particularly care for any of your IGNs either. All I'm saying is that I like to create a style for each of my characters and those revamped skill animations did not fit with that character's style. There's no need for you to get so aggressive about an IGN that doesn't affect you in any way.

40% dmg raise, +20% boss dmg and +20% pdr ignore for Finishing Blow
+2 weapons speed to active Yellow Aura instead of 1. You still buff up 5 steps attackspeed, so no worries

@Gregorius
Sexy? They were as flashy and colorful as angelic buster... Lets hope they put those into a Nova mage and leave Battle mage the heck alone!

@jh92
Silly... we get a buff similar to SE and 100% stance along with a cap raise This is awesome ^^ Union aura was actually more useless Not to mention, this buff of ours STACKS with SE/Decent SE

Hush you little whining puppies this revamp that was just implemented is great. BaMs did not need that previous revamp with those rock hands, all we needed was a dmg boost for fb and a few buffs and nexon did exactly that .... Like c'mon now we practically get SE and 50 more m atk and a few more buffs. I love this and cannot wait for it to hit gms!

thing is, that attack speed we lose from booster is taken back to AYA being boosted to 2 attack speed making our AYA equal to SI.
we don't lose any attack speed so you slow staff user wont be penalized.

[quote=Powerbomb]Union Aura allowed for essentially unlimited Body Boost. What they did was boost Body Boost's duration so that the cooldown was negligent and you could attain unlimited Body Boost.

At least, that's what I got out of it.[/quote]
