Dual Blade revamp coming

Anyone else looking forward to DB's to be revamp?

"Balancing. The Nova, Resistance, Heroes and the Knights of Cygnus will be equally balanced with each having their own flavor. You're probably thinking... no Adventurer balancing? Nope. The Adventurers will be completely revamped. This gives me a bit of hope for my Viper (Buccaneer) character. They have shown the new illustrations of the Adventurers that replaces the old.
The [b]Dual Blader[/b] & Cannon Shooter being the special adventurers will also receive special treatment and become more powerful."

"story line" in MS ends by lv 90 anyway. It's not going to matter much + most people don't bother with the quests 'cept for getting Will of The Alliance skill.

There's not much I want changed... maybe more vertical mobility, horizontal/vertical range on Blade Fury, but there's nothing really I need. O_O New gameplay wouldn't hurt, though.

I personally think we need a few more long range attacks. Also, please lengthen our buffs.. they're all short af. Also, after Unlimited, DBs won't be in the "top half" of the DPS charts, they're actually right in the middle. Kaisers shouldn't be complaining because TRANSFORMED kaiser is already number 1 on the DPS charts, and UNTRANSFORMED kaiser is number 3 on the DPS charts. I don't think I need to say anymore about that. Kaisers can also ignore damage reflect so.. why do you complain that DBs are OP? Clearly Kaisers are better in terms of damage/attacking. I would say you guys are only complaining because Asura is more OP than your hyper, whatever it's called.

No idea, but on Max and Spadow's blogs it says that we're getting completely "overhauled", I just hope it's not like the BaM revamp

We need something to match up to Xenon's Blade Dance. That's just like unlimited Asura, just a bit weaker.

I was thinking maybe CoH could attract maybe 6 mobs?

We need PB to hit mobs

@AlmaElma you know Shadow Meld lasts 7 seconds right? 7 seconds is a big enough time frame to dodge another attack even after getting hit. DB is still going to have pretty much 100% critical rate.

The Festival announcement said Dual Blade and Cannoneer are getting 'special' revamps, so I wouldn't expect many/if any skills to stay the same as they are. I'm excited to see more information

Is this the patch that caps dodge chance at 90%. If so then no amount of power would make up for it. It's still a downgrade.

@SLUgaming:
I would MUCH prefer for Mirror Image to simply go back to working how it did before it was "fixed". Better than a damage increase.

@SLUgaming 60% is a pretty fair boost, Dark Knight's Berserk is also 60% I believe, it's just the way the rest of the attacks work that makes it kind of overpowered. I'd love to see more skills to chain with Flying Assaulter personally. A 'combo' type primary attack would be really cool too.

Yes, please make all Dual Bladers weak, whiny, and useless.

I'm just joking. But DBs didn't really need a revamp relative to the other explorers (same with Cannoneer).

They might remove sudden raid or mirror target

Db need to get revamped since we only got PB skill that only atk one mob and blade fury is kinda weak 160% dmg and we don't even have blade fury hyper such as Add dmg and hit more

[quote=SLUgaming]Only thing i wish from Revamp

1: Shadow Parnter does 90-100% dmg

2: Give us a Better Ultimate Sudden Raid is soooo Useless

3: Maybe for DB's Phantom Blow able to hit farther it is a pain in the ass trying to solo PB when we cant even hit the hawks due to our attacks being short[/quote]

LOL I can imagine Nexon simply "Click N' Draggin'" the animation of Phantom Blow until it becomes super pixelated and just chuck it in-game.

I wouldnt mind if they take away phantom blow for some mobbing/phantombow type skill <3

therebegold

depends what the revamp is, is it just a flat damage increase i.e.. phantom blow now does 330% per hit, bloody storm does XXX per hit etc... or are we talking a more back to basics revamp such as the one bmages and WH got?

I for one hope its not a back to basics revamp. i love the playstyle of the DB, fast attacks, insane dodge, mobility etc... so any revamp I hope it is more along the lines of damage.

Other adventurers are getting completely revamped.
Dual Blade's will probably get buffs / a few new skills since it doesn't seem they'll get as dramatic of a change.

maybe they would, they did say great reward will be given as you progress. Though we have no idea what they are yet but I expect great things

[quote=PovertyShoez]Seems like this update is aimed at trying to clean up the mess Unlimited made.
Nexons trying to come off as more "fair" reading the Evolution section:

EVOLUTION :
There will be equal fun for users who play the game for free and users who used cash. Meaning free users can have fun without spending cash.
Great rewards will be given when you progress your character in Maple.[/quote]

Well for one Dual Blade is an explorer.
And in Red update all the explorers are being revamped as well.

They sort of do need a revamp. Their damage falls behind many other classes I have 100% luk personally yet my friend who's a Demon Slayer has 60% str and less W.Atk yet does the same damage as me. Tbh no class should be able to out dmg another with 30% less stat boost and less W.Atk.

personally, i dont want a revamp for DB's, we already get complaints that we're op (imo, db's are actually pretty balanced.) NL's should get a revamp so they can compete with shads and DB's

Although we are not among the top classes that are in need of a revamp, classes such as kaisers, which in my opinion are more OP, receive one as well.
