Death Star hyper
So I was going through the update notes for V132, hyper skills, because of a post on the maplestory forums. Anyway I noticed that when Hyper Skills were introduced, Death Star had a damage cap of 3,000,000 which was 3 times the current damage cap. I think this was something really cool about Death Star that I had forgotten about, and a big part of why the skill was so awesome. Especially considering that the skill has a 8 second cooldown, I think that Nexon should modify the skill so that the damage cap for Death Star becomes 150mil, or even just to 100mil. I honestly believe that this is more in line with the original concept for hyper skills (skills that are way beyond your normal skills, as it is its not that much greater than QT with its cooldown) and the skill itself. Before posting this on the official suggestion forums, I wanted to know if anyone else shared my view on this.
If you happen to think that 150 (or 100) mil per line is too OP I am open to the idea of increasing the cooldown to 10 or 12 seconds.
Edit - I should add that the range increase from epic adventurer would not apply to Death Star. So if the skill was changed to have a 100mil damage cap and you used epic adventurer it would still be 100mil instead of 105mil

Show me where I said anything about that being fun either lol
sigh, unlimited patch ruined hyper skills. It was first release as a nice burst of damage since it could go pass the old cap. Now, with the 50m cap, most of them has been reduce to being meh AoE. Doesn't feel hyper anymore.
This would only be useful in cvel/dojo due to casttime.
Every 8 seconds, NLs can have 150m per line? That's simply insane.
I'd leave death star as it is.
They should make it 300m
@AckarRed: Considering, despite what Basil thinks, that by far the vast majority of players will never hit 50mil per line I don't think raising the cap for Death Star to 100mil per line will change anything. Even if they did that, even fewer people can hit 100mil per line. It would only really affect the extremely funded so no, it would not take the fun out of it for the average NL player
[quote=Lecarde]@BoBoBo: I completely agree on the 5th job, and I'm not looking for a whole revamp, just this one skill to be changed. They could easily slip that into any patch by changing just a few lines of code.
But if you think about the skill it is kind of lackluster atm. It does 358% damage 7 times. Regular QT does 378% 5 times. Death Star is a better skill obviously, but then when you add in the other 20% damage for QT as a hyper, and add in the 20% boss from the other hyper, QT now deals 418% damage 5 times against bosses. Since it attacks faster than death star it is just a better skill. I don't think its balanced that one of our hyper skills is a 30 second buff with a 90 second CD while the other one is outshined by QT.
Perhaps what would make it better would be to increase its damage cap to 70mil. Its not too OP at that point, but it still becomes a better attack than QT, which it should be.[/quote]
I think the purpose of Death Star is to mob, not boss. It's a great instant kill attack for mobs all around you.

What's so fun about having the cap even higher than 50m?
[quote=VassupBruno]100mil, really? You don't think that might like...idk...take some of the fun out of it?[/quote]

Should put it as the same damage as sudden raid. Just sayin.

of course it would be nice for NightLords, but i think with such a change, they would have to take a look at ALL other hyper attacks as well and change them for fairness. And id rather have the 5th job than just a hyper skill revamp
@Lecarde that's what they said in star wars when they saw the death star
@MrSinDeath19: What?
That's no moon. That's a space station!
