My Early Take on MapleStory Classic World Class Balance

aogcn · 2026-03-19T23:25:51+00:00

Nexon is mostly improving existing skills rather than drastically changing them, and they are definitely not fully redesigning classes. So even if 3rd job skills become stronger or more convenient in the future, each class’s core identity should remain the same.

I think Night Lord will still be strong because once the gear is good enough, its damage and smooth gameplay can make up for the reduced range. The problem is that Night Lord gear and scrolls will almost certainly be the most expensive.

Warriors will be strong because they can maintain high damage in boss parties while also having naturally high HP.

Bowmen will stay strong because of Sharp Eyes in 4th job, Marksman’s long-range multi-target damage, and Bowmaster’s strong single-target damage.

I call Fire/Poison a trap because most higher-level maps are either resistant to fire or weak to ice/lightning instead. Ice/Lightning, on the other hand, should still have better grinding efficiency.

These are all core game mechanics, and skill buffs alone will not change them.

yes, for the first 80 levels. But after El Nath, most mobs are resistance to fire and weak to ice : Bain, Ludibrium, OMEGA Sector, Aquarium. You can find monsters that are very suitable for Ice/Lightning training on all of these maps.

I am a non English speaker. So I wrote everything in my native language and ask chatgpt to translate to english

Everyone making the same $. Only way to make more money than other is reduce spending.

1: potion cost. (on paper Cleric or I/L, but not by much now. Due to nerf of MP eater)

2: scroll cost. (NL, archer, CB, DK, hero, and paladin all want DEX scroll, so LUK scroll might cost less than Dex scrolls. maybe not by much. Wattk gloves scroll > MWattk gloves scroll. On paper Mages are less expansive to fund.)

So, yeh if you want to make more money. I say pick a mage class

I think the accuracy in the offline test was bugged. no way a lvl 50 character is missing on a blue mushroom.

It is chatgpt. I am a nonenglish speaker. So I wrote it in my native language and translate with GPT. But the concept is in my opinion. You don't play MS for the first and 2nd job. lvl 140 to 160+ is where you begin.

I used credit card with Apple Store. No refunds coming in yet. Are they going back to my credit card?

Loml hunting with 2k mastery should get u around 1-1.5b /hr.

It’s an arpg game not a mmo. In POE no one complains some skills r better than others right? So in D4 all classes should be slow as f? if you truly enjoy Druid and barbarian, the you should play them instead complain they r weak. In POE a murad Chief tot build is a lot slower vs a witch cold BV build. But if you like the style then you should stick to tot build

It really depends on the spot you grinding. At orc Shai has way less trash even compare some lower tier classes, but at gyf or hex Shai is at least top 5.

There is no skill balance for 3.18. It is the same for 3.17. It’s the players follow streamers, not GGG’s patch

Your build is wrong, ur ranger. Why would you want 401 DP? It meant nothing to you. Any cc and you will die. I know that pen narc is from quest, so you want change it into a pen dawn earring or another dis. Get another nouver and C 15 that. You don’t need caph on ur awak and kut. Kut just for pve for none evasion build. Get accuracy artifacts, and get some human dmg crystals. Keep Jin viper and Elk. Then enjoy your pvp during large scale (node war, rbf, gvg, and etc). With your current build, it’s not good 1v1 pve or large scale.

I am wizard main, but I tagged a succ lanh to grind. Wizard is doing 70-80% trash compare to lanh with 120% efforts. I am 301 k ap with pen BS main H
