kmst 1.2.10 - Mercedes Changes
[b]Various buffs have had their skill duration changed:[/b]
- Spirit Surge (180s -> 200s)
- Ignis Roar (180s -> 200s)
- Water Shield (180s -> 200s)
- [b][Decrease][/b]Ancient Warding (210s -> 200s)
[b]Various buffs have had their skill delay reduced:[/b]
- Ignis Roar
- Water Shield
- Ancient Warding
[b]Skill chaining availability widened:[/b]
- Leap Tornado
- Aerial Barrage
- Rolling Moonsault
- Legendary Spear (This is actually pretty significant)
- Wrath of Enreal (This is actually pretty significant. You may now reduce the CD with a wider range of skills)
[b]Increased summon duration on Elemental Knights[/b]
160s -> 210s
[b]Added 4s Cooldown on Rooling moonsault[/b]
WHAT? WHY? ...no idea what was on their mind but okay. (This could be to possibly remove the 100% invincibility combo, or at least encourage users to use Aerial Barrage to avoid the stones for Magnus and lazers for Lotus)
[b]Unicorn Spike's cooldown can now be reduced through skill chaining.[/b]
!
[header2]Opinion[/header2]Remember how I said, [quote=elufu]To be honest, if they really want to improve efficiency they should make the cd-reduction for linking on Spikes and WoE be 1.5s per skill and apply the same effect on Unicorn Spike. At least this way, people will still need to link but won't feel the minor jitter due to god forbidden server lags and provide a little bit more variation on what skill to use.[/quote] - http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2860189
[b]Nexon, hire me please.[/b]
Jokes aside, this patch is a serious improvement for mobbing as a Mercedes. Although kmst, these changes are more than likely to follow through to the live version considering it's not a dramatic skill% change.
The buff duration and skill delay changes is a welcoming change for bossers too. Less buffing hassle is definitely an improvement to your bossing times (and this will actually make minor improvements to %/s which I may follow up in due time).
[header2]What now?[/header2]I think and I'm sure most would agree that the extraordinary amount of damage% buffs in the Mercedes skill set is rather concerning for mid to top tier funded players. Being restricted (not really but it is generally recommended) to only aim for att% when cubing gear is.. not encouraging.
DBG's are a different weapon to bows and crossbows. They are not shared. Why not increase the weapon multiplier and significantly reduce the amount of damage% we gain from buffs? This will not only improve the base damage of Mercedes (so the lower level grinding/damage is not as brutal) as well as catering for the high end players.
Also, please make booster+rune work well with skill chaining. It's an absolute disaster. Please Nexon, I beg you.
What do you think? Do you like your 'buff' or do you think this is a joke?

Trying to do your aerial combo with the rune is challenging but fun
I remember you making that post a while back. Illuminati confirmed haha.
Need 5th job! Riding unicorn hype!
Nice, I'll take it. Honestly, I don't even use rolling moonsault anyway, due to lag and because of how close you have to stand to monsters to use it. I would like the cd on spikes removed, but also for me, the cd is only three seconds anyway...
L> spammable spikes again. That was fun while it lasted.. casting duration reduction is a plus
Only thing worth noting is CD reduction for unicorn. Buffs are buffs, and moonsault is pretty useless to me; that's one less skill on my keyboard.
KMS likes to slap us with random CD's.
I heard that there's a dev or something in KMS that doesn't like Mercedes.
why. that CD. why Q_Q that's random af
Personally, the buff duration doesn't affect me much only because my pets do it for me.. I was hoping they would remove CD on Spikes but wishful thinking XD
FAR OUT I didn't catch the rolling moonsault one why would anybody do this! >.<
buff duration and delay is so good though
as is unicorns
