General

Had they kept BKB, I wouldn't have cared either way. But since they decided to get rid of it, I immediately disliked it.

I personally liked it. I much preferred the revamped animations over the ones we currently have. I feel like it could've had some tweaking to make the fist skills better or more practical/useful. I suppose I'm also content with the 2.0 revamp that took the [i]really[/i] good things from the first revamp and put them into the second one.

It was actually a buff from the original Battle Mage but okay. Hits/sec are almost irrelevant with a 50m cap since few classes can hit the cap and not to mention it takes a lot of money anyways.

ok when is this happening to BAMS? I thought when RED comes they were going to be a lot better.

What do fists have to do anything?

[quote=chickdigger802]I really do hope they refresh BaM blow animation someday to actually accurately reflect the actual range this skill has lol.

And this class has some of the most useless hyperskills (enhance skill type) around. Get rid of the dark shock ones and twister and add some for finishing blow and (lol) sweeping staff.

You know, a skill that does a timed party buff with maybe a cooldown that allows you to share your aura stuff to people that aren't hugging you would be nice too.

Also yeah reapers, do something about them. You know, make them increase your damage or something, or function like a wireless repeater where if party members are near them, they get auras too.[/quote]

Blow is getting hyper skills in the revamp.

I like to press 1 button for 3 aura

[quote=jjohnson10]I loved the revamp and am pissed that they changed it.

At the very least, we should have gotten the new Blow and BKB animations.

How ironic, coming from the guy whose avatar looks like a fruit.[/quote]

Lemme know when perm NX that doesn't look jolly and pink is released, ill buy it and fix my avatar Meanwhile GO AWAY

[quote=iCrisis]The steam engine buff sounded really cool as well.[/quote]

Highly debatable. And heck, those *schling schling schling* staff sounds were too agressive imho.

Revamp was ok. I personally didn't find any of the changes necessary though, except maybe toggling Battle Rage.

Why do a revamp when one isn't needed?

[quote=sacro84]THAT revamp was utter crap. If you dont like battle mage as they are now you dont like battle mage at all, so just quit.

What we got instead is so much better I dont even know where to begin, PERIOD!

Im just glad Nexon actaully came to their senses. Lets just hope they move all those changes to a nova mage of some sort. Nova class is flashy and full of colors and pink and pretty rainbows and lalala, hearts and smiles and cute little swinging colorful weapons ^^[/quote]

Okay, quitting now. Sorry I don't like Battle Mages.

[quote=MageFrenzy808]I must have missed something, are there notes available on this revamp?[/quote]

If anything, just keep the animations but HD them ^^ Keep the dark purple and LEAVE US THE HECK ALONE! Up our dmg to catch up to other classes in damage output, sure, but NEVER change the theme AND gameplay of a character like this!

Not to mention we were about to become a "hold one button" class again. EWWW!

[quote=iCrisis]Was I the only one who actually liked the revamp? I have never liked the way BaM's skills look, [b]and the new swing skills looked so much better.[/b] The new art really fit the battle mage theme of combining magic with technology, it looked really slick.

Sure, the Golem hand was really weird but I didn't see it as a dealbreaker.

Anyone else feel the same way?[/quote]

just to let you know... you said it was swing skills dont u? that means we as BaM has a swing playing still but if u look close to it those skill werent swing skill were stab skill and pls dont come and tell me im wrong cuz if u compare them all with aran skill are the same thing... btw this is only for looks... anything out of this answer can be found in basil BaM's forum so there u can see why they reverted this trash revamp

[quote=LetThereBeFradd]I thought that they reverted Battle Mages back to normal in KMS.[/quote]
They did.

[quote=Toxicvvaste]Love your IGN.[/quote]
Thanks!

I like your BasilID, but it would be cooler with a 'w'.
(See what I did there?)

Love your IGN.

[quote=iCrisis]I think everyone here hated it because they watched this video:

The guy is literally hand clicking the skills and typing.

Here is a great video of the new (well, scrapped) gameplay:

Very fast, very fluid. Sure, maybe reskin the golem hand to something more 'steampunky' but other than that everything looked great.

The steam engine buff sounded really cool as well.[/quote]

That stone hand reminds me of the ore found in Leben.

Another reason for complaints was the monotony of skills due to the loss of Chains and BKB's range.
