Polearm booster nerf not a big deal as we can use DSI. Drain nerf is probably to do with the hp increase. Cleaving attack uncalled for.
Don't understand why we're getting so many nerfs when there are still many classes who get better boss timers and are far stronger dps wise not to mention have far higher skill % values. Ours were lowered to dirt. Aran being at the top of a KMS chart doesn't mean anything as it is not a correct representation of how classes rank in power currently.
It seems like we should be afraid of future patches as it simply means more butchery to the class.

Aran has gotten a link skill to increase the experience gained in the combo orbs. Wanted to let you know that, while nerfing mine in the Burning Flame event. Cya!
@mrpirate: From videos i've seen it looks like its affect happens again after a delay.
Now I'm sad..
wow the one class I main after trying out all of them. Why neon?!
As a Mech, I feel y'all Arans right now.
@mrpirate: 5th job lumi summons a, uh, door? that attacks enemeies 10 timews and can only be summoned during equilbrium mode. It's not that great for GMS players since they cant go into equilbrium mode as often. I'm not sure what's better honestly (I think aran and lumi's 5th attack at the same rate?)
@hyperfire7: lvl 1 dsi is good enough and if you're going to farm cores for the stat bonus, dont bother it's only 4 stat. If you're farming for more duration I guess that's somewhat reasonable but you dont have to (lvl 1 is 183s duration 180s cd)
I suppose but it feels like they're just trying to find any skills that increase our damage and either nerf or remove them. I just don't understand why we're getting shafted so much because of Adrenaline mode. Something that lasts 20 seconds and takes a while to charge up. Outside the skill we can't choose when we want to activate it either.
As for them nerfing recently revamped classes, yeah they did that after the test server and then again not too long after. That alone was enough, but since then they have nerfed us non stop in every patch that includes skill changes. I also see no major damage nerfs for Blaster which is even more recent than Aran. Best part? It's actually overpowered and way stronger than Aran.
It's alright, at least the nerf is damage %, not final damage.
Maybe they thought we were getting OP because of 5th job enhancement cores. It's typical of Nexon to nerf recently revamped classes anyways.
But now I would have to farm skill cores for DSI when 5th job comes out...sigh.
@sous: wut about lumi's? i still dont get what it does
@rokani: Good question.
@readers: When was it good?
All good things must come to an end, right?
We get arguably the worst 5th job skill in the game and now were getting nerfed again.
@dliu456: I think you failed to appreciate I am talking about the update we had less than 2 months ago in GMS.
@maplebhav: I think you've failed to realize that this update with this nerf is already AFTER 5th job's update with the removal of the damage cap.
What a joke. Was there any need for this, or even the last patch when there's way better classes to change?
And here I thought SW PA Normal speed was enough. Gotta start saving up for DSI or +1 IA
@fumumu: Yeah I know but as of at the moment if you cap it's a buff. In the future once they remove cap it'll be a nerf overall regardless of if you cap at the present.
Even if you cap it's a big deal as the cap sorta gets removed after 5th job. So eventually everyone is going to get hit badly by the nerfs.
When we are one of the last classes to get a revamp they spit in our face and nerf us (unless you cap) now they keep on nerfing us for no reason! You know KMS do not like Arans when they consistently nerf them and keep buffing the OP classes.
glad i got DSI and f yea aran for life
