Nexon said in a Q&A that they will buff up Arch Mage and Paladin as well.





* 모든 스킬 공격시 근접 타격 공격이 발동되지 않도록 수정되었습니다.
* All skills cannot be used when you are attacking too close to an enemy.
So what’s the point of this. LALALLODLAODLALDLLOLOZLOLol
I think Spadow made a little mistake on translating that.
“All skills can be used when you are attacking too close to an enemy.”
Wait so is it ‘can’ or ‘cannot’? On the post above you translated it as ‘can’ but here on the comments to say ‘cannot’…
It’s “can”. ;)
And nice updates!
Can’t wait for them to come to gMS/eMS!
May I copy this Update Post from you to a eMS forum I’m in?
I’ll give you full credit, ofcourse.
Sure. It is appreciated.
erm.. that mean if monster close u , u still can use skill like Rapid Fire and other skill oso same
What does “re-use time” mean?
I thought Dark sight didn’t have a cooldown?
It’s not cooldown. What I mean is the delay when you go out of Dark Sight.
that suks
full damage for max assassinate is now 8 seconds instead of 12. YOU MISSED THAT.
┕ Can attack up to 4 enemies instead of 3 (Lv. 21)
Since when fire arrow was able attack 3 monsters? O_o (it says “instead”)
My bad, I always thought it hit multiple enemies. Fixed. Thank you very much. ^^!
L>Drk changes. Lol. Would of loved to have crusher and fury to change color when in berserk mode and maybe a fury and crusher booster whilst in berserk mode to.
Dear Spadow,
May I copy the link of this website, (this new patch only, no other articles) and tell about it in Asiasoft Forums? (The forums of MapleSEA) All Credits will go to you, for informing all of this. Thanks, hope to see your reply soon ^^
I’ve always done that along with a few others. Spadow actually had an account over at AsiaSoft forums for about a year now, and is aware of what we are doing.
He drops by and posts stuff in Locky/Pegakok’s Predict Highlight threads once in a while.
2. 해적 건슬링거의 스킬이 변경되었습니다.
2. The pirate skills of Gunslinger has been changed.
* 모든 스킬 공격시 근접 타격 공격이 발동되지 않도록 수정되었습니다.
* All skill attacks can be used when you are attacking too close.
Oh holy fuck yes. <3 This and multi-hit fire arrow = fucking win. That is all I want from a balancing patch. Everything else is uber-bonus.
Watch the Nexon pull a nice move where L7 Formula requires Dex for mastery.
Do it Nexon.
Oh god yes. Do eet. Screw all the dexless assassins :D Unbreak the L7 formula.
That would be so awesome for anyone but an assassin lol.
As much as I want that to happen, the previous balancing patch only strengthened classes, not nerfed them. So far, it doesn’t seem like this balancing patch will nerf anything as well -_-
The point of rebalance patches are to make classes better because they get screwed over by new classes being godly. Why would they NERF something?
Wow really? I’ll close my thread if Spadow doesn’t allow it, after all, all credits will go to him.
Nah, it’s fine. He does not drop by ASF that often. He doesn’t really need to, as he knows by now that every blog post he makes is going to get linked to in some form somewhere on ASF anyways.
what is dot dmg?
Dot damage means Damage Dealt Over Time. Basically, it’s something like poison…
In this case, it refers to Flamethrower’s burn effect.
cant wait for the changes on other jobs, especially bowmaster… rapid fire > 200% damage… will storm arrow hit more than 150% damage instead?…
when will this come to other versions?
I wonder how long till this patch will be applied to GMS. I really can’t wait for Arch Mage skill balance. I hope they balance it a little bit enough to boss
Fuck yes, supercharged Shadowers.
Now we can be – dare I say – on par with other classes for once.
Lets just hope they ignore Sins completely and leave them in the dust.
Wow, some nice updates. Maybe now i’ll have a reason to level my f/p wiz (lvl33 mule).
But aren’t Corsairs already the best class, wouldn’t they be astronimically more powerful with ALL of these buffs?
If they’re the best class, why are they so unpopular?
They are the best in dpm in 4th job. They are weak in first and second so people probably doesn’t want to bother making it that far. Also they have no party buffs.
Because they got over powered by all the other jobs so they getting there skills buffed
I have a question. just how short will the delay on boomerang step be?
I’ve heard a long time ago, it was long enough for 2 skills to be used between each one.
Now in gms, I’ve heard its long enough for only one skill
if the delay gets patched further, will a skill use up so much more time then the delay lasts help? basically, lets say the delay is 1/2 a second after the patch, and a another skill takes 1 second to complete.
Does this mean it will be useless to use another skill in between boomerang step, and that people will just SPAM boomerang step?
Well gms and kms aren’t the same, so gms might not get this update.

change the mage spell accuery formula to only LUK incresing spell accuery^_^
change thief accery to only DEX increasing accuery^_^
have DEX be a decent facter in L7
Good way to stop dexless sins. :]
This. More of it. Kill lukless mages. I would salute Nexon.
woot buccs get real stance now
Why open up a new thing to 1 version of Maplestory. It’d be like having Legendaries only for KMS. GMS and EMS would be bummed and Nexon might actually lose money to it. Aside from that, it’s only fair that GMS and EMS do get these skill rebalances. Only thing is that we’re like the common folk, getting the “common product” out of old prototypes.
He was talking about the update with the lowered delay on boomerang step.
Besides, class rebalancing is in no way the same thing as five new classes, so that comparison is extremely disproportionate.
Venom is useless if you’re 2 hitting anyways. The only time it’d be of any use would be if it worked on bosses.
Thanks for providing the infors@@
How does the multiple hit fire arrow work?
It goes straight through the enemies like Iron Arrow or it hits one monster and hits 3 other monsters near it, like Arrow Bomb?
Overall, great updates, but I expected a skill change for Marksmen. I hope the cooldown for Snipe will be 4 seconds like KMS when GMS gets these updates.
It works like Iron Arrow, except that the damage does not decrease as enemies are hit.
Waiting Kmst276….
Hope will change DarkKnight Skill…..
Is this update only apply on Adventurer job?
Some skill like fire arrow, barrage and dark sight also available on KOC.
Is this update also apply on KOC?
Read the patch note thoroughly…
모든 스킬 공격시 근접 타격 공격이 발동되지 않도록 수정되었습니다.
All skill attacks can be used when you are attacking too close.
Does it apply for Assassins too or only Gunslingers?
I would so love to be able not to stab.
It’s for gunslingers only, as of now.

): Nothing for Ice mages?
Elemental Amp.
However, this is only part 1. Ice Mages and any other class that hasn’t been mentioned in these patch notes are probably going to get something later on.
Yeah, we got a buff on Thunderbolt’s range. If you ask me, they should change Ice Strike to hit 8 mobs, or something in third job, since F/Ps have explosion and misting but we only have Ice Strike (a lot of people choose not to max TS because it’s so slow to cast).
I’m gonna use this for my website/forum, I’ll give credit, so can I?
Oh yea, when I pasted it on my website, I changed the unicode and edited out the korean (Don’t know, k=korean, kms) words, because I belong to the GMS community.
I still had added your name and everything. I also edited some of the fonts/boldness, added new stuff and yea.
I’ll be happy when this comes to the normal KMS
How long does it take for something from KMST to come to KMS

They should up the lasting time for energy charge to like 120 seconds caise 50 seconds is pretty lame esp at bossing takes a while to charge so the 90% Increase of stance dont really matter
YEESS gunslingers are finally more powerful, but lot of peeps re gonna make slingers…

What do they mean by “Barrage Range” improved? isnt barrage already a melee atk?

They should make it so it is optional to use dark sight when using assasinate. This way, assasinate becomes more useful and can even out the dmg per second and also make shadowers better bossers. Shadowers could use an assasinate+bstep combo instead of sb+ bstep. Only difference would be when you assasinate without dark sight, you dont deal the critical 4th hit so that you dont charge into the monster and end up killing yourself. If they made this alternative, assasinate would still retain its original purpose (a powerful first attack) but it would be more useful as a primary attack.
dam this is so awesome. too bad they made double fire stronger and my slinger is just about outlaw already. by the time this comes to gms it will already be outlaw.
Hello, one part of the skills update for the gunslinger i kinda need confirmation. Regarding on the Elemental Boost Skill for gunslingers, which skill does it represent when it wrote Dot damage increased from 5% → 10% (Lv. 25) and
Freezing time increased from 2 seconds → 4 seconds (Lv. 30). Which skill does the lvl 25/30 represents?. Either its the Elemental Boost skill or the Flamethrower/Ice Splitter skill lvl. Mind anyone clear my queries? TY in advanced cause this might make a difference in the future gunslinger skill build.
im so excited that chief bandits get an increase
but whats the deal with dark sight?
i mean i basically depend on it with my life, especially at typhons where a combo of darksight, haste, and when out of darksight assaulter is the best way to get around the map.
i just hope the nerf of darksight doesnt affect my game play
is it only me or has no one realized that it says meso guard is lvl 30 now.
Can I use this for my website? I’ll give credit.
What’s the assassinate saying..?
Accumulative damage increased from 12 seconds damage → 8 seconds damage (Lv. 30)
So it means max charge time is only 8 seconds now..? or is it still 12 but 12 seconds worth of charge before patch now deals equal to an 8 seconds charge after the patch. That pretty much means anyone with max assa can hit 800k with a 12 charge now at like lvl 130-140. Lmao
Thats good hey are fixing gunslingers double shot because its hell training from 31~70 because that 80% goes like savage blow but goes 2 times instead of 6times wtf was nexon thinking when they put it to 80%!
wow…so many patches so little to do -_-
OMG UPGRADED ENDURE!!!!!
So Meso Guard’s master level went from 20 to 30? ..
I have been long awaiting this fire arrow patch… now FINALLY F/P’s can train! But I want to know, is the overall damage decreased from its sexy 120, and will the targeting system on it be slightly off, and be configured exactly like iron arrow?
Will the balance patch affect bishops???……
Hw about the new jobs?
Are they coming out before or after the balance patch?……
i heard that the savage was better o-o
MAPLE SEA IS FINALLY GETTING THIS! NOW I CAN FINALLY GET BACK TO TRAINING MY F/P MAGE! THE FUCKING FIRE ARROW WAS CAUSING ME PAIN ALL ALONG!
and also,
SCREW THOSE LUK-less MAGES AND THOSE DEX-less SINS!
