ANOTHER fucking balance patch?!
And surprise surprise, the bulk of them are nerfs. With Elesis and Add receiving only buffs.
At least the Aisha one is somewhat of a buff. Perma-MMU time?
If only the quantity of balance patches was equal to the quality of balance, that game would be most balanced game ever.) Well – at least no nerf for VP as usual.
They literally said they were going to do balance patches ever 2-4 weeks on their website. Gosh
The fact that they even had to plan around making balance patches that frequently speaks volumes.
Magical Makeup was a nerf, cooldown is irrelevant now theres 30% cooldown reduction during awakening (which can be stacked with 20% from energetic body, whose cooldown in awakening also gets reduced in some sort of vicious cycle).
They just dropped her mana gain once more, from a cap +65% to a raw 20%, which isn’t really significant.
Be conscient that in the times where Magical Makeup was equal to free infinite mp, the effect was around +250%.
I don’t really mind, MMu’s new additional characteristics make it worth using once you reach 3rd job
Her PvE viability is already pretty dead compared to other characters, due to the lack of decent braveries needed to keep up with the meta (thanks for dying, Impact Zone). Therefore this nerf is pretty much meaningless in those terms, especially with the consumable chug buff upcoming.
I would recommend using the duration trait instead, for resource and time saving (long as hell cast time).
PvP wise this will punish spammers harder than what they probably expect, a drop from 65% to 20% is pretty tough. Maybe soon enough MtM will be nerfed enough to make her mains need to actually use their brains… or quit.
no, we meta mains were actually using our brains….
it’s the meta bandwagoners that ruined shit for us… that and people bitching about mechanics they don’t understand…
cause now, meta just BARELY has more MP gain than Oz and that’s just sad…
The image you have of yourself is quite interesting.
He said as good as Oz MP gain. I am in fucking tears.ToT
Yeah the bandwagoners ruined this class, but… Im pretty sure Metamorphy mp gain is still better than OzS even after this patch, but still this class is a mana hungry (both with OzS). Nerfing her mp gain is just random and stupid. Sometimes, quit being so dramatic..
Actually, Knight’s Demeanor was both buffed and nerfed: buffed in the sense that it takes less hits, and nerfed in the sense that it now only reduces MP cost by half instead of completely negating it.
That’s not a buff, putting mmu in a trans slot already gives you “perma duration”. Losing that much mp regen is a huge nerf.
That and killing blow 1 (the other trait) gives you a longer duration which pretty much means that with this, you’re pretty much just getting two traits that fulfills the same purpose.
Oh.
Well then….. fuck KOG. Fuck them with a fucking spiked phallus!
um, you cant use trans slot with MMU it dosnt cut cooldown while in transslot…soooo yeah
It does, I use it all the time and I almost always have mmu on.
Why anyone would put MMU in a trans slot is beyond me. With awk and energetic body the CD is like 53 seconds… and the duration is 60 seconds…
an unnecessary nerf once again. As if it is not enough that metamorphy is a mana hungry class, and now they need to nerf her mmu’s command mp regen. What’s worst is because that is the trait i’ve been using until now, since the other one trait can be reacheable with energetic body, erp, el tear and trans slot just like u said.
As for Endgame, welp.. since he doesnt know a lot of stuffs he is talking about, he really really need to stop right now, to prevent him appear even more stupid
You know, unless you can prove annon’s claim to be incorrect, you repeating a misconception after it was already debunked makes you look EXTREMELY stupid.
You really really need to stop right now.
I respect your savagery.
All already proves that u are wrong. So i dont really have to. Im just choosing to only said stuffs im agreeing with qazwsx said. At least I not wrong tho, haha. You are the one who gets it wrong and then calling other ‘extremely’ stupid. Nice logic, keep it up!
Btw, commented almost on all over wiki babel for an ex-player(or that’s what he/she said) is also sad bruh. Thouches mah heart.. Is this the only place you somewhat got attention? There there..
Here’s the thing. You KOG cockswallowers treat me the same way when I’m right. (Which is more often than not. Of course mistakes are bound to happen since there’s too many nerfs to keep up with. KOG are terrible and so are anyone who fanboys for them.) AND people were able to correct me without being toxic little shitstains. Before you did to boot.
So you’re just fucking worthless.
Spoiler alert. Im not kog cckswallower. Didnt i criticize them in my past comment?? Im tired already, trash talking takes energy too man! So by ur logic, Im not terrible! (phew lucky me, getting rated by endgame, rite? Ha!)
U sound offended? After being a toxic since long time in these comment section, at least prepare for this. U or people mean it or not, may always somewhat offend each other, but u r the only one who talks and cries about it (and u cussed me alot despite im not, can i offend and cry about it too?? Huhuhu)
Btw what conclusion on me just laying out my point this time without trashing kog like usual, somewhat making me fanboy/girl? And its a nerf, im not even sounded happy about it, i sounded salty. I, white knighting kog, where??
I just gonna say that u r even more worthless, since u literally dont have bussiness in this game why u r here, but whoops, dont make endgame angryy people!
@SavageCabbage Seems as weak ass argument is savage nowadays. The correct one its lame, not even close to savage
And now you’re not even coherent anymore.
Haha, seems that what i am saying is true. Cant argue back and instead just tell me not coherent. If its about not coherent, its you. You are the one who is raging, cussing and randomly sum me up as a kog fanboy/girl and worthless. Cussing and continous name calling doesnt make u or ur argument true, smarter, orrr coherent anyway..
What if you don’t put it in your trans slot, though?
Apparently you can still get the cooldown under 60 seconds without it.
If it even works for MMU.
Or maybe it does and annon ran into a cooldown reduction hardcap. (Closers has one, so it’s not unheard of.)
You are an idiot. Dude. LOL. Seriously you noob.
I will give you a better, more intelligent, and more dignified response than what you deserve.
*Ahem.*
no u
Inb4 another buff to plasma enhance
They are really trying to make people use NAC lol
Ya know, we wouldn’t need all these balance patches, if gear was regulated for PvP…
Most of the player doesnt care about PVP seriously. That aisha Magical Make UP nerf should be at PVP only. Not killing those player who love a PVE life.
ok an aisha nerf? anything else
Aisha gets nerfed, Elesis gets buffed.
Same old same old.
gotta love that “Power Stun Debuff can be removed with effect => Nope” XD
Why is Shiva getting buffed again?
cause they want to make it the most broken char
Ara deserves it.
^ For that, you deserve death via Back Attack Supreme Punishment.
Also more Aisha nerfs to further bury her while Elesis gets buffed.
Another nerf on Aisha, and in the same lineage (the slowest lineage with short range)
Now, I have to reconcile having slower bad skills with horrible regeneration (because the only one bravery quick skill that was good, was transformed into “tenacity”)
What KoG think?…. Well, drabaki thanks.
There are 2 type of and Elsword players. A dress up player, and a passionate player who prefer stick to one class at all time and spent most of the time farming or grinding at PVE/PVP. I guess KOG Love a dress up players. Since OP skills are mostly for passionate players and rarely spent cash for those IB and Magic Wardrobe stuffs. Choos your side wisely.
The quest is not “dress Up” (that follwing trends) or “passionate” players (that plays with one class), and i desagree of you. Both spent cash in game (Very much), always buying new IB, visuals, pet, etc.
The quest is: How Aisha is very behind of many other chars is this lineage (and of your two sisters, in special, Aether).
Simple example: Bluhen do all things that Meta do (float, heal for him and for group and still have a system that works, with bonus: he is not slow and has damage). Oz can be very nerfed like Meta is, but skills in this lineage have long range and are very much faster compared to Meta. And aether i think she’s not needs coments.
And i here: Every month waiting some buf for Meta, but nothing. Only nerfs.
” i think she not needs coments”
correcting for the third time:
“i think she doesn’t need coments.”
“And i’m here: Every month waiting some buf for Meta, but nothing. Only nerfs.”
You know what KOG should do? Just make everyone nerfed, make every skill damage do 1% damage in pvp and pve, so we never have to worry about this balance shet again. We’ll just live in a world of nerfs
You can’t have a “balanced” game when you can’t even call it balanced if all the chars would only use basic command combo attacks.
GrM buff? I’m okay with that. But ara? Dear god why. Stop now. Yes, Im a chung main.
Damn. Aisha mains are so angry. Well that s understandable.
That’s because we get the most unreasonable nerfs, Impact zone 1,000% to 100%, mod 2,000% to 700%, and now this 80% mp regen to 20%(from losing the trait and the MMU nerf). I don’t like to call out kog for their decisions but this is just ridiculous.
is not unreasonable: the son of the CEO lost against an aisha 5 years ago and is still butthurt at that
that’s the only logical explanation for this bullshit
2nafish used to translate the most common suggestions posted on the KR forums.
Apparently it’s LOTS of people who are whining over Aisha. Aisha nerfs were always one of the top listed suggestions.
And if you’ve ever played Aisha in PVP….. you know it’s pretty much universal. Oh, how Aisha makes the people rage. (Especially back when tumbling was still a thing. Who needs mana break when you can tumbleport out of an enemy’s combo~?)
Company are stupid, suggestion are also stupid. Not gonna be Aisha’s whiteknight but I hate Ara’s cheappy second resource bar’s existence the most. If they think Aisha deserved nerfs then either they are stupid Ara mains (I didn’t say all of Ara mains are stupid) nor stupid people who don’t know how to PvP against an Aisha.
You wanna talk about Impact Zone Nerf
Shooting star reg went from 618% x 21 (12978%) to 360% approx. (7560% total) upon pvp/pve division
Then it went from 360% (7560%) to 240% (5040%)
Then awakening trait was removed and so it went from 240% x 21 (5040%) to 240% x 18 (4320%)
Now with the recent nerf NA got, 133% x 18 (2394%) it went from really really cancer and dumbly broken to like… The ground…. It literally deals no shit now, and it’s still fine… Deal with it.
Artillery strike went from 6k% to 10k% to 12k% (13k% with final enhance) then downgraded to 5k% with pvp pve division then reduced to 1.4k% (2k% final enhance) then increased to 2k% (3k% enhance) and I think they reduced it again for PvP (but not PvE)…
And before you tell me “but but, FP is dumbly broken”
If you wanna talk about damage, shooting star got the worse than impact zone, but if you wanna talk about class, then yes the nerf is … Kinda… Reasonable for said class. But from the skill themselves, Shooting star got it worse, not even with heavy trait it hurts, shooting star is just grounded until you stack it with elrian set or own a 11 or higher, aside from those it hurts like shiet, it’s more like an mp feed (reason why I choose evil trait) and the mod SS, even though it doesn’t even hurt (literally the dmg was smaller than reg one) they still nerfed its dmg, that was not even necessary, mod SS is not used for damage, the mb lock removed, sure I’ll take it, it was broken, but if anything, they could’ve rather increased the time lapse of hits but reducing the blackhole time overall, like, 2-3s blackhole rather than a 5s, and it would’ve been better than removing mb lock, now tell me if you ever see FPs using mod version in PvP, it still have good use at certain situations but overall is useless now
CC also got land demolisher grounded as your impact zone
Besides
What’s the deal anyways, I have fought MeMs and desr lord they are cancer, I don’t mind this nerf, every class is cancer for sure but like, first of all she can get her mp to 600, and as Nezen told me, Nezen gets about 140% (iirc) mp gain, y’know how bullsh– that is, + the fact that DW got 3 stun skills that only costs 100mp, sure light resist screws it but it’s still annoying getting stunned over and over and over.
So basically you’re saying that shooting star only now deals 20% of its original damage. Compared to IZ’s nerf from 1k to 100? No shooting star does not have it worse. Also the average amount of hits for normal IZ is 6 so most of the time you’re only really dealing 600% per monster for a bravery skill. I can do more damage with a few Z hits.
As for pvp, that’s not something that I’ve been into for years now so its really not important to me. On top of that, saying that a character is “cancer” in pvp doesn’t justify its pve nerfs.
They don’t understand that ST should be nerfed for pve, not for pvp
You’re kidding, right? Tempest Burster is one of the few classes you DON’T need a +11 Void weapon to be competitive with in PvE. To say that she needs to be nerfed because of that is disgraceful.
Buffs her new HA too much so throw a nerfquake at MP. Literally unplayable now. Ah well, no more grinding for my MP.
Why do Elesis and ara never get to be bad
It’s possible whoever it was that was responsible for all the Elesis favoritism in the past got demoted.
And now he’s climbing back up the ranks and starting to gain influence over the guy who actually saw Elesis nerfed.
Evil never goes down that easily. It always finds a way to creep back…..
^ “Evil never goes down that easily, It always finds a way to creep back…”
Why did you suddenly start talking about pARAsites tho?
me > PLEASE NERF ASURA!
KoG > Oh sure lets buff her busted passive that will be a great idea,
me> Fuck.
No. Ara deserves buffs.
Aisha keeps on getting nerfed, so Ara gets buffed so that cuteness still reigns supreme.
people forget how broken Ara’s ^X is…
that alone proves she needs nerfed cause she can win easy EVEN AS BASE with just X, ^X, and skills to get orbs until she can whack you with falling dragon…
Ara buffs?
KoG confirmed stupid again
well… i don’t see a reason to login anytime soon…
the only class I play now IS Metamorphy and guess what, they nerfed her MP gain AGAIN and gave her a cooldown reduction on MMU that you didn’t need (cause 3rd job passive + energetic already cut it down to 45 seconds together)
And with Nutaku fucking up with updating Kamihime Project (or compatibility with browsers lately), i might be running out of games to play…
Storm Trooper / Tempest Burster gets a core passive nerf but Crimson Rose / Black Massacre gets a slight buff for theirs, how nice.
I hate these nerfings but I am understanding why they would do it. some players stats are reaching over 10 k in crit add dam or other particular stat.
10k is pretty normal in endgame, even if you have only +8. Your understanding would have been more accurate if you said 20k instead of 10k as some players do reach 20k and higher.
Hm, I don’t see that much of a difference with an additional second to CR’s passives aside from the maybe noticeable 2 stack reduction. Maybe I’m wrong and it’ll last somewhat longer than the current 15 seconds it is now at max stacks, but I’ll have to wait and see.
At least it looks like they’re done nerfing her needlessly and giving nothing in return for now (but maybe if they could remove gun guard and replace it with literally any other offensive active from the female ranger tree, like Suppressing Fire/Barrage)
This man gets it.
It was sad enough when Magical makeup mp regen got nerfed the first time. Now they go and nerf it again while leaving Impact Zone and Guillotine press gutted…….
The thing is it wasn’t even busted. She still had to spam pots like everyone else in dungeons if she wanted to keep up. No one lets you combo in dungeons anymore, they just try to one shot everything with pots. In PVP it wasn’t busted either, because there were plenty of characters who have good resource gain at all times without having to go a special mode. Even with magic necklace her mp gain wasn’t “OH MY GOD BROKEN”. She can still get outspammed by characters like Ain and Rose lol
gad damn it knight emperor got nerfed
