Earthquake is hitting 4 times instead of one!

[quote=electricpika]The one change I want for an evan is say, a beginner skill that allows mir to disappear for a bit, and when you use an attack he becomes "resummoned" with a super cool and dramatic animation LOL
a bit like AB's transformation, but more... epic <3[/quote]

THIS! so we can actually be those henehoes without being bothered by Mir <3

@JumpUpdate: Hehe<3 I just really love anything that has to do with Evans! I'm never really a downer on Basil besides like last week because my pet passed on. I like being a nice person although I have my erm, "ghetto" side as my friends call it.

Omfg Eric class. I actually want that to be like a real class that we can play for jokes.

I love how your so enthusiastic about this, though I don't have an Evan I'm glad to see some positive attitudes in basil compared to the not so amazing side. And Congratz to the Evan class... I'm just waiting for the Eric class revamp though.

Finally MORE LINES even though im still waiting for illusion, I've been waiting 2 years for something like this to finally happen, i mean common after seeing luminous this update is nothing

1) we seriously need more lines on illusion ( I've seen so many classes soloing some of the strongest bosses ever in short time, but i have never seen that happen for evans before)

My suggestion is for nexon to make a skill called something like dragonic unity, where the character can actually ride the dragon and attack with it to add a few more lines; im pretty sure thats something ever evan wants.

2) in the mercedes trailer (during the black mage seen when the evan appears) the dragon was able to shoot lighting from it mouth, im not sure about the rest of you guys but i believe the skill "blaze" should have been that lighting beam move.

@SmilingCurse: Yeah, I read that later. Pretty sweet! Even though I barely play Evan, or any of the other Heroes or Resistance, their revamp is a really good thing, cause I like to see them around.

[quote=SorLilly]Yay finally Evan gets more lines for most of its skills Earthquake, Blaze but I am still looking forward to Illusion + Flame Wheel getting more lines too since most jobs are now hit many lines so Evan should be getting more lines for Illusion and Flame wheel + other skills would be perfect <3 But this update is going to take a while since it's sort of like after RED so maybe next summer GMS needs to catch up KMS tho... >.<[/quote]

On a bulky dragon with a cooldown that has the majority of the resist.

[quote=SmilingCurse]Yea that would have been helpful but I am still waiting for our bigger Illusion hit box(:

IIRC this update, [url=http://orangemushroom.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/kms-ver-1-2-194-wild-hunter-reorganization-job-balancing-fairy-academy-and-crimsonwood-pq/][/url], gave us exactly that. I forgot where I saw the estimated hitbox is now, but we have a much high vertical and horizontal range for both EQ and illusion.

OMG I will not STAND for this! Blaze's hits per sec must NEVER AGAIN exceed that of Illusion. One, its called freaking ILLUSION. Two, its a 1v1 skill, and is practically in the same advancement as blaze, (both 9th and 10th are considered 4th job growths), and therefore, should NOT be weaker in every aspect. Less stun chance, less vertical range (though between now and this update, this no longer becomes a factor), less PDR, less maximum mobcount, less elemental weaknesses to exploit, and no less elemental resistances to suffer from due to decrease negating them all should fire or neutral resistant mobs be your current target and NOW less hits AND %/sec? WTF? Other than looking cool, what's the point of even USING illusion.

However, I'm totally digging the 4hit Earthquake. Now we have one of the most, if not the most, flexible mobbing skill repertoire endgame in Maplestory. We have Flamewheel for sniping in a straight line, we have earthquake for aoe, we have blaze for amorphous clusters, and if all else fails, we have a full map attack with a relatively short cooldown in dark fog.

[quote=Skyenets]Can they stop making skill changes every patch and just do one patch that gets it right? It's annoying to see Evans get buffed by a small amount every minor update. Not that I'm not happy with these changes, but come on you guys have got to admit that this is just plain annoying.[/quote]

Nexon's a tease.

[quote=Blue559]Now that i think about it. Evan is the job that got revamped the most out of all..... and i also find it funny how we are getting buff all the time and no nerf. Except for Chaos.[/quote]

Chaos wasn't truly a nerf. In some aspects we improved and in some we got worse.

True. But if they gave us one big buff, then we might have a possibility of being nerfed, right?
But yeah, it's annoying because our damage increases too slowly to hold our own on the DPS chart.

[quote=anthony74]@SmilingCurse I thought it would be a cool idea but I doubt it would happen. I just hope that Mir's appearance changes a little bit more with 5th job, that would be satisfying enough for me.

I love my Evan too, I remember making an Evan on day one and thinking it was awesome (because it was, and is). This is probably my 15th Evan though. For some reason I just never got an Evan past lvl 40 even though I always wanted to main one, but now I finally did it and I'm happy I did. Being able to do a decent amount of damage but also e supportive is my favourite playstyle in any RPG game, it's the best![/quote]

Maybe him growing a tiny bit more Not like the summoned one but just a bit (:

Oh gosh o: I just love Evans hehe<3

@anthony74: I haven't heard about that but I am excited! My hopes won't go down though because I love my Evan so much! Stuck by since day1, I don't give a dam who says what c:

But in my personal opinion, I don't like the customization idea very much. For Kaiser it kind of made sense because it's his armor, but Mir is an Onyx dragon so it might be really weird.
But it's just me I guess.

@SmilingCurse I've heard rumors that with the FLY patch in KMS, Aran and Evan are supposed to be getting some sort of "revamp". I'm excited, but we still don't know for sure if it's happening, it was just merely speculation. I really hope for Evan's 5th job (or possibly a few more growths) that Mir's colors become customizable much like Kaiser's ultimate form. That would be awesome!
