General

This halves their damage. I think I'm just going to make one to 200 and play it for a little bit after, but quit it before any of the nerfs come and remain my DB.

They are still better than most classes, and will be hated for being so strong. Or loved.

So they're actually slightly balanced now? That's good, I wouldn't mind a pre-nerf release either.

[quote=remuchi]They are still 19 on the DPS chart (after there nerf), so they are still good.[/quote]

Doesn't mean they are rank 19 in real Maplestory training/bossing situations.

The chart is based on some assumptions

I still think very funded (godly) Xenons outdamage more classes with the same funds tables say they wouldn't just because of +all stat on things like Tyrants enhanced ten times or so. I think five enhances is +165 all stats on a shoe? I'm not sure if the same applies to other tyrant things. When you look at the boost in +all stat compared to the relative normal ~333AP in STR/DEX/LUK, each tyrant would be a gigantic boost, basically adding 50% of their AP for each tyrant enhanced (only five times). They are still a good class but optimizing them needs incredible funding.

They are still good, though I'd like to point out that I'd be incredibly surprised if we don't get some variety of pre-nerf on it, simply because it was balanced for the huge boss revamp part of Unlimited that we are supposedly not getting

I'm still going to play Xenon. Their attacks look really fun and cool ^^

From the blogs on the damage reduction, they still look powerful with their skills so I don't see it as a large nerf on their part.

We'll have to wait until RED is finished to know for sure but Xenon is still pretty powerful.

I have no idea, but to be honest, I'd be quite happy about Explorers "stamping them out", as they have been below the new jobs as of late.
