I heard the only skill really getting "vamped" for Xenon is hypogram, cause the ball becomes ridiculously fast.

[quote=Ichii]I always figured Nexon was going to boost every other job to post-nerf Xenon levels when they introduced the boss revamp. It would have made hitting the new cap much more accessible and would reduce the ridiculous amount of funding it takes to successfully defeat the higher end bosses.

RED fixes that @ dem adventurer revamps; infact I believe EVERY adventurer is above Xenon (post nerf) in terms of DPM, even bishop

I always figured Nexon was going to boost every other job to pre-nerf Xenon levels when they introduced the boss revamp. It would have made hitting the new cap much more accessible and would reduce the ridiculous amount of funding it takes to successfully defeat the higher end bosses.

Sadly, I was mistaken....

Edit: put post-nerf instead of pre-nerf lol.

[quote=Wreak39]Does the range get halfed or the damage % of skills?[/quote]

Overall, it's like a 40% nerf to damage. Your range goes down by quite a bit as Multilateral affects your range and its been almost halved but it wouldn't half your range. I saw several before and after pictures after the nerf and it seems to be a 30-40% nerf on your overall damage.

@Ahmy: Lol really? Only for the link sill I see. Got mine to 110 & it just feels so terribly unbearable, ugh. Seriously, classes that are this powerful in the beginning really aren't any fun, in my personal opinion. Blahhhh

pshh the nerf is not that bad all you lose is 10% from multilateral iv (i think its that one) which was pretty ridiculous and 100% off beam dance but mecha purge basically stays the same. its no where near half.

That Shadow Partner Like Skill Hp gets decreased from 1000% to 10% so you have to spam it.

In addition to doing slightly more than half of your current damage, your total evasion, stance, and status resistance will be decreased.
