Leveling Up Battleship Does not Increase Cool Down~

I just wanted to make a suggestion that GMS had implemented around v75. Although it is a little higher version than v62, the cool down increasing directly proportional to the level of battleship makes almost no sense. There is no other skill in Maplestory that has this; most skill cool downs are inversely proportional with the level of the skill. This makes sense because you should be rewarded for investing points into a skill, not punished. Sure the increase in HP is nice, but during bosses, some attacks are impossible to predict, and you WILL get hit while mounted.

Corsairs are known for their DPS. In many DPS charts, sairs are tied, if not better, than NLs. But what most people don't realize is. that this is only true under almost perfect conditions, to the point where both characters are standing still, and are uninterrupted through the whole fight. Because of this misconceived notion, I feel as if sairs receive the short end of the stick when they are expected to dish out damage, because in reality, their DPS is significantly hindered by broken boats, re-posititioning, and re-mounting (if unmounted in time).

Leaving the cool down at 90 seconds at level 10 won't completely disrupt the mechanics of a corsair, for boats will still break. But this allows corsairs to have peace of mind, and not consistently mount and dismount, losing precious time to deal damage.

Thanks for reading my rant! I just wrote this after getting destroyed by a boss so please excuse any rage or anger that you may sense from this post, for it is purely unintentional.

 

The amount of hp given is very decieving for getting hit by a couple 1/1s with HB on can be fatal. Properly hp washed sairs (5.6k base) have about 8.9k hp with hb and getting hit by 1/1s basically eat up a tenth of your ships hp (possibly more).

Remounting will still be a valid technique, because there are some skills that are telegraphed. Its just those hard-hitting, sporadic attacks that are troublesome.

Another point I'd like to make is that implementing this literally only affects corsairs, and in a good way. It doesn't really hinder or disrupt the play style of others, and actually may work to party's favors. Corsairs bring nothing to the table other than "hypothetical" DPS /:

 

Like I said, there are some attacks you cant predict. And it doesnt add THAT much HP, but any extra HP for the boat is definitely a plus. I just dont see why we should get punished in terms of hp to cool down ration for leveling up our skills.
