Change/buff Final Attack so its not useless

I'm generally of the opinion that all the warriors are in a really good spot and shouldn't be touched. There are no unforgivable balancing sins now that Paladins have been given testicles, and outside of perhaps some hitbox changes, looking at you Blast, the skills should probably be left alone.

This is coming from someone who left just the warrior second job phase. It's mind numbing, but it warms you up well for third job, in which you get one buff skill that's really awesome and then you get a powerful whollop that isn't spammable, and then you get nothing until 120 except worse versions of your buff or of your whollop.

 

Replace it with the Dawn Warrior's FA for each weapon type.
They have the same numbers, except the other version is actually a buff that you can remove.
This way, you can change when your character can be useless.

 

What is your argument that mastery is not the main skill of second job?

 

As far as I'm aware this is under consideration at the moment - whether it works on a togge or just has its damage scaling flattened when hitting more than one enemy, instead of decaying per target, there's a lot of small QoL changes that could be made to this one!

Please do let me know your thoughts on FA!

 

I think this is the main reason FA sucks and fixing it would make it much more viable. Having points in FA literally makes your character worse- the only skill in Maple to do so. However I'm concerned with how much it would upset the balance if this was introduced- it's a huge buff to training speed of 2nd and 3rd job warriors, which are already doing pretty fine as-is.

A toggle is my preferred way to fix FA. As it is now, FA is still beneficial for damage when you are using power strike on single targets like bosses, but you don't want FA to proc when mobbing because of the damage decay thingo. If you could toggle it on for boss fights it would be much less trash.

 

At the moment I'd like to get both addressed, though I'm going to let this thread exist for a bit first in case there are any really good alternatives; the damage scaling as-is is incredibly unintuitive, since no other Warrior/Bowman abilities at this point scale in such a way!

I don't plan on changing its total damage at the moment and its current effect on AoE attacks is pretty dreadful, so I'm not massively concerned with its effects on Warrior power levels there.

Still, this thread will be invaluable to working on FA - thanks for the feedback!

 

That was me. RIP 15 days of vote-NX

 

damn those corporate shills working at Neckson. they are evil incarnate. i wish 1000 stubbed toes on them.

 

Changing FA into a toggle skill would be nice. I think the Hero guide here mentioned a specific example where a hero could destroy a goby house with Power Strike, then use Coma to stun the gobies after that. FA would mess up the timing for Coma when it triggers.

 

its been fixed bruh in the latest servers keke

 

'latest servers'?

 

Is there any updates on this? I was one of the noobies that found out too late that final attack is complete garbage... The whole time I was like hmmm this skill seem like its lowering my dps and make me get hit because I am locked into the animation... nah it cant be bad... rip 30points....

 

For the time being I'm not working on ML so this is unlikely to have any significant progress made. Apologies!

 

Yea too bad, I don't know what level you are but if you're below 3rd you really should consider remaking your warrior. Or be like me and spend a ton of vote NX on resets. As far as I know v.62 got the worst FA skill. Almost all versions after that they improved it. As far as I know FA as is it now is (almost) unimprovable due to Neckson's/Wizet's coding.

 

Sigh. lvl 92 lol. Ill just live with it til 120... Ill be leeching most of the way anyway LOL. As long as final attack doesnt proc from brandish... it doesnt right?

 

Yeah it doesnt proc from anything that isnt power strike/slash blast.
