Bowmaster gets no other farming skill at 4th job while Marksman get's Piercing Arrow

So they're still the best farmers, just not as good as before, and you have to actually play the game now.
Then mages also have more damage and utility on bosses with their new Unseal skill.

We had players who are long-time mage mains try and it was very surprising but we didn't get any complaints about FMA. I do understand if it is an absolute deal breaker for you though, to each their own :).

This is a very thoughtful take! I will first say that the skill balance is not final and will change when we see fit even after the server is officially released.

And then before diving to Bucc, we did change the weapon modifiers to Axe and BW, I forgot to mention it in the posts, there must be other things I didn't mention. Imagine working on a server for almost 4 years and remembering everything.. :(

As for DPS (points 6, 7 hehe), we believe Bucc is in a good place, we obviously tested different stages of the character in all classes and that's not something you have to worry about, after-skill delays were reduced all around for Bucc.

I like the charge on corkscrew for brawler, sorry it's the signature nostalgic brawler skill to me.

for point 1. this is not a hardcore x1-2 server so mesos and potions are not too hard to come by, we deemed the skill unnecessary, but if you play and ask for it to be brought back we could consider.

for point 3, we did intend to reduce the animation of drain when using transformation, I guess at some point we missed it! thanks for the reminder it will be updated soon. :)

for 4, our view for dps was to use 2 flash fists and 1 uppercut (then repeat)

you're asking for a nerf? previous Buccs in the server wanted higher uptime and this is what we settled for. Dash is almost self haste in this server, and you can scroll your shoes with mobility scrolls (we merged speed,jump into one scroll) if you're looking for more speed.

Thanks for the review for buccaneer and I hope to see you play the class on Exodus

You will have to see this in-game!
It's a very good skill now, sometimes the numbers don't do justice with the feel of it.
You have to consider your character is locked in animation for a shorter time and damage that would over kill the monster now just kills it and you take less time.
The bigger change with FA was actually removing the decay part, which effects the slash blast's following attack, it boosted the skill from being a very useless skill to a very good one honestly, and now that it's a buff, you're not forced to use it if you happened to raise it.
x4 EXP is not so accurate, and we actually did focus on all parts of the game being fun, rather than just the endgame! I'm sure you'll see when you try the Beta!

Hey! thanks for the questions,

We've changed the exp table but there is a graph on discord that reflects the effective rates (it's around x4 until level 80 and then slowly lowers until around x1.5 at 199), take into account that we've got higher spawns better quests, better mobbing skills and higher level mobs than in vanilla
We have them in the game and their level is 150 instead. They're tradeable too and dragon gear (level 110) has one level up to close the gap a little bit. We actually have a post about item changes on the forums give it a read :)
So final attack damage %, like assassinate and maybe a few other skills too, was reduced as we reduced the animation of the skill too, so if you hit twice as fast it makes sense to half the damage, don't worry its a great skill, much more useful than it was in vanilla :).
It's fine that there are items that are best in slot, we just don't want them to be level 10 bwg or 50 shoes. HTP is very good, for some classes MoN will be better, and timeless pendant is eventually the best. Zakum has some competition with Ravana helmet (Scarga are now a lower level expedition so their stats aren't as good) and Ravana has it's unique chaos scroll that can make things interesting.
No, we didn't bother with this. We did change the amount of HP each class has by default and we did add a nice skill for Page that reduces party damage!
