Orange Mushroom's Blog 
Bah, just so much information to be released soon into the world of gMS in 1000 years! 😦
still no battleship.. dang.
Looking forward for Justice! gonna check today here in one hour! xD
what about the new job? anything on that..
Hopefully we’ll get some information in about… 1 hour 40 minutes!
You said earlier that Zakum and Horntail are instanced as well, but I tried last night to Zakum for my 120 books, and I had to fight Koreans for the altar. Is it only instanced in KMSt?
Yup 😦
I really hope they bring it to the real server soon…
You should come along sometime and help me kill Zakum for my books. ;o
At least things are looking up in this update for Pirates
They now have 120% speed and 110% jump at first job and dash can now rush mobs for no MP (not including the sweet 150% speed). For Viper class, at least the much missed skill of T and ST’s attack buff has been compensated with 30 from Mental Clearity and 30 from Energy Charge. Stun Mastery is now super useful, since 1 in 5 hits can stun the enemy, and you can get up to 125% critical rate damage on mobs when stunned! (5% base crit, 35% dice, 15% critical rage, 60% stun mastery, 10% explorer crit ring) Energy Charge is also now the new core skill of Vipers, in which you charge 300 energy per attack, 700 energy on bosses and receive 90% stance, 30% speed boost, and gives 300 accuracy, defense and magic defense. (IIRC, this also replaces the 300 defense and magic defense buff from T) Sadly, duration has been decreased. Viperstition gives a sweet 15% attack boost, 30% elemental resistance and 70% knuckle mastery. For Energy Drain and MP Recovery’s loss, we now have Endurance, so potless training can still be viable. All in all, this update for Vipers are not THAT bad. We do more damage on bosses and we still have some iframes left. (Does FE give iframes?)
First sweet thing i noticed from Captains was that they had 60% stance now from Pirate Style, so at least it was something. Valkyrie Patient gives 600 HP and MP, which helps bossing and training, if stacked with Adv Bless (possible?) gives 1350 HP and MP boost! Captains get FA skill (adds 70% damage to each attack since they had 100% proc chance!, woots! Rapid Fire probably will be more powerful now. 10% attack from Pirate Style and 20% from Bullseye plus 30 attack from Hollow Point Bullet will help bossing damage but I don’t think it can still replace BC and BT.
Probably Vipers got a better update than Captains. So much for hoping for the comeback of Battleship in this update </3 But I heard someone said it might be used in Pirate Hero, so we'll just have to wait and see.
I agree with you, at first I didn’t like the Viper Update but now i’m coming around. The only things I don’t like in what they did was reduce Energy Charge’s time from 60 to 30 secs and also removing the avoidability boost from quick montion
Heh, a weird but logical thing from Pirate Style (Captain) was that they actually REDUCED avoidability (-300) but it can probably be negated by Bless, Adv Bless.
“Pirates pose for attacks” LOL
argh 1 and a half hour to go still
oh typo on shuriken burst
change bulets to stars
lol just letting u know
Fixed, thanks 🙂
no problem!
Still waiting to get Assaulter back t_t
FUCK this shit…..
1st viper was nerfed badly..
thn dey removed d power guard effect of energy charge???somemore,amount of energy accumulated was decreased frm 8100til 300??how d f we gonna spam energy blast????
Power Guard isn’t that helpful anyway, would you wanna walk to the monster and touch it just to deal a little extra damage? 8100 was a glitch in the first place, -.- and 300 is higher than the original 200, so you can charge faster than before, what’s more u charge almost doubly faster against bosses (700) so they are NOT NERFED BADLY =.= You can spam energy blast when your energy is fully charged, so please don’t rant when you don’t know facts
bt frm 60secs reduced til 30 secs,u prick o0o
and power guard effect wad one of d interesting part …
go youtube MOGULKHANTOUCHTHIS o0o
jerkass
Little boy, are you retarded? lolz
lolx
1st they nerfed VIper…now they gonna humilliate viper again??!
energy charge no more power guard effect,amoun of energy accumulated was decreased frm 8100 to 300??
How d fk we supposed to use energy blast as our primative skills???
Shouldn’t karma be changed for dual blades as well?
Um…So DB’s now get Sudden Raid and the delay’s are increased? What.
So um.. DB has Sudden Raid now and the delay’s are increased? What.
bleh.. i was hoping this update would include other classes too. Playing the new characters, especially a class like Demon Slayers, I really see how far warriors have fallen behind. This is coming from a person who always supported Nexon’s decision to add new classes too! but wow… Demon slayers just… OBLITERATED warriors. I mean, they get awesome defense skills, their hp is on par with any other warrior, their skills are BETTER in every way, attack is 5 times stronger than a powerful warrior skill (Sacrifice for example), and they get 100% stance at lvl 10.
Heros are still #1 lol Demon Slayers what a joke, Adventurer warriors are still the best, what a bunch of nonsense lolz
Buccaneers are fucked up ONCE AGAIN! GG NEXON.
fucked up for sure LOLX
time 2 say gudbye…..
the decrease of energy charge is understandable, i mean 8100 is instant charge, no means of charging skill,with this much it should be called “energy toggle”. but decrease it to 30 sec is really bad. this class needs something to refill the energy charge uptime like killing with a specific combo of skill so it could add like 15 sec at first, and then re-iteration would give less and less until none.
yea i agree wif u
hopes fist enrage will b vpr’s trump card
I’snt captain dignity more like a shadow partner skill considering it has a 100% chance to activate?
Max, could you clarify something about Shadower instinct? Do the points disappear after the buff runs out, and does your attack increase by 6 for every killing point, so every monster you kill you get stronger, or do you need to recast it? last thing, does assassinate use up killing points, and does to 2.5 dmg effect stack? (so if you had 10 points 5x dmg, 50 points 25x dmg?)
The Killing Points are used up when you use the actual skill. Theres a maximum of 5 points I believe, so an extra 30 attack for Shadower Instinct if you have all 5 KP when you use the skill.
Assassinate does use them up, but I’m not sure how it works :S
Surely wished for stance effect with ship…
Moving on, it’s still nice to see Gunners killing on ground instead of on ship.
Bye bye my beautiful ship, it won’t be easy to forget you, but for the past three jobs levels I travelled on foot, how hard can it be?
Fist Enrage deleted?
For Strikers a.k.a Cygnus-Version-Of-Brawler. >.>.
