Nerf Demolition IED, Reduce Super Transform uptime, or list it as a MapleLegends feature

While Pasta is really trying his best to figure out if a change is really needed and what should change, most people in this post giving opinion never played a bucc and doesnt even know the class game play or the impact that changes can do in end game content / in other classes gameplay (TL/SI nerf).

Most people asking for nerfs because of an old player DPM on statues (not even a challenging boss for buccs mechanic wise like HT) but cant show why and how properly.

Again, if you wanna nerf buccs dmg dont allow SI to be used with Booster. Dont mess up with other skills/combos.

 

I believe the whole buccaneer package is unique and irreplaceable so even if nerfs do happen the class will still be in high demand as they're the only class at the moment that can control Pink Bean (and Auf to an extent, bucc>warrior pin) smoothly. With that said I believe that buccaneers should either get hit in their damage or their utility. TL being what it is allows for certain strategies and mistakes to happen with little risk involved, if a nerf is to hit TL I do hope it is done in a way that promotes active gameplay, it can look like this:

Time Leap reduces cooldowns of skills by 50% and attacking while in bubble reduces the cooldown of TL by X seconds every attack.

Or you can touch on Super Transformation uptime or skill multipliers, which directly lower's their damage. I don't think nerfing any QoL aspect is good, things like their i-frames, avoid formula or their hitbox should remain untouched.

 

currently, buccs are utility+dmg with no obvious weaknesses. their iframes make their low avoid kinda irrelevant but their iframes cant be recoded easily.
Should buccs have both utility and dmg, given than NLs have alchemist nerfed?

Disclaimer: i play bucc,nl and bm.

 

i disagree, imagine needing 8 buccs for right bird first LOL

 

Alchemist nerf? You mean when all the mid game NL's got a buff by getting 200% potions?

 

great inference

 

This comment makes no sense, you start saying that buccaneer package is unique and irreplaceable and just uses that argument to ask for a damage nerf.

Ok, so lets follow your logic and nerf the damage of every other class that provides good utility, just to make NL's/SAIR's stronger.

You know what is going to happen? More SI/TL mules, decrease on active buccaneer players and even more NL's.

 

Are we seriously having this discussion because bunch of NLs feel insecure about some other class is getting closer to their total DPM?
how do i unwatch this

 

Their kit is irreplaceable at endgame, you still need active buccs and a damage nerf isn't going to kill the class. Mules cannot replace what an active bucc can do. I am unsure why this is hard to understand. Pink bean runs are literally bucc-gated so even if a bucc does 1 damage, you are still wanted.

As for my logic, all other classes that provide utility are in good spots, the only outlier is a buccaneer. I play a BM and I think we're in a really good spot overall. BMs do not need a damage buff. BM/MM are classes that are more likely to be muled at the endgame than a bucc btw.

 

You're right, any suggestion relating to nerfing a class other than NL is automatically nonsense!

 

Ok so, in your logic, the reason why bucc needs a damage nerf is because "a damage nerf wont kill the class" and because their utility is very good.

I really hope the balance team dont take this serious.

We literally have just one dpm picture in this post, from a single person, in a single boss, with unknown gear, and in end game, and no one else is contributing with more data besides saying that "utility and damage is bad pls nerf".

 

Tbf based on the skill changes list, not a single class has received any nerf other than NL. It must be an unusual experience.

 

Mage ult nerf
-drops
Si no longer works on skills
Dk roar nerf
Bishop res nerf

Sure, you are the sole victim of the BT hellbent on destroying NL's ability to invest even less into lucrative content. Does it take conscious effort to play a victim or does it come naturally?

 

The whole staff already have a opinion on the matter, even those who dont play buccs, based on the dpm tests that skarmory did.

Even if i tried to provide my own data, this would not change you guys opinion, since i am not high level enough, my gear is not decent enough and in the end people would just say its the player skill fault not being able to reach skarmory DPM.

Thats why i am not even trying to convince anyone about anything on this matter anymore.

With all my respect to skarmory and staff, if you gonna make decisions based on his data alone, because he has very good gear and is a skilled player, just do something about his ban and let him make decisions from now on.

 

Sorry I'm blind, couldn't find what u mentioned on the skill changes page.

alot of our comments here are made on data/gear. hence, we are all saying the same thing. most of us here play multiple characters. for instance, i play bucc, nl, bm, hero and pally.
