The installed Arrow Platter's performance was excessive in certain content because there was no risk in installing it. After adjusting this area, to help compensate the loss in damage, Hurricane - Reinforce will be strengthened.

[Mortal Blow]: instant kill chance has been decreased, this skill now gives your attacks a 10% chance to have their damage increased by 20%

[Arrow Blaster]: there is now a 5 second cooldown for installing Arrow Blaster, you can no longer install Arrow Blaster in the air

[Hyper] [Hurricane - Reinforce]: damage boost has been increased from 20% to 30%

Got buffed, again!

@neobowmaster: oh yeah. our Char Card is complete trash also giving even more %Acc... but yeah nexon needs to change how Accuracy works in this game completely cause if it has no use as a stat get rid of it all together or make it somewhat usefull.

If MB insta-kill worked on bosses, then BM would be kinda OP. MB would kill the boss faster than if you were to attack it (For harder bosses anyways).

A 5 second cool down isn't a huge deal seeing that the skill itself lasts 30 seconds and doesn't proc DR anymore. However, not being able to install it in the air really sucks seeing that sometimes turret can only hit things if it's in the air (cvellum) </3. That makes zero sense to get rid of, that doesn't give bowmasters an extra edge. If anything having to put turret in the air is a hindrance.

I'm super happy about the other changes though

[quote=bomberb0i2]I have been asking for those change for years... Accuracy has no usefulness in this game anymore and yet nexon keeps giving us more ot it.
instead they should give a small boost in Def/Avoid or a msall boost in status resistance. someone please tell me, what the hell am i supposed to do with +50% Accuracy when every hit on a monster is based on what level my bowman is...?

A good character card effect would be %dmg for FA/AFA or even some %atk (Would be a first).

also i feel like the MB changes weren't really needed. might aswell have given us like +10% Atk for 10secs at a 10% activation rate? (might be OP now that i worte it out)

Mortal blow is finally useful! (Assuming it triggers on all monsters, including bosses and not just mobs like it used to)
5-second cooldown isn't terrible, Can be negated completely with -2 sec duration potential lines and it may end up being removed anyway.
10% increase to reinforced is pretty decent.

[quote=neobowmaster]This. I really wonder who keeps suggesting a cooldown on turret, Its like they never learn. [/quote]

Nexon back peddles a lot.

[quote=assmuppet]Well, even if they nerf turret it's not like it works anyways. A cool down? Didn't they try that three times before realizing it was a bad idea in Tespia? I'm sure these will not be the final changes, but if Nexon could keep their grubby pervert fingers away from my classes nono place I would appreciate it. (Platter has no consequences? Yeah, that's why they call it a skill and not a debuff you knuckle dragging troglodytes) /endvent[/quote]

Oh great so are you going to fix the hit box with Vellum? Oh you aren't? Thanks nexon you always have such good priorities.

Watch the Hurricane Reinforce will only be 5 or 10% more damage.

Seriously though.. Just remove platter entirely it has nearly no purpose anymore. Triggers AFA and AB? Nope.

Don't think it's too big a deal. Waiting on the numbers though

buff to mortal blow and hurricane, nice, nice. hopefully the attack buff from MB won't be from killing mobs, otherwise it'll be pretty useless against a lot of bosses
