I¡¯m not saying Assassins are better, I¡¯m just disproving that Bandits AREN¡¯T. Its all in your opinion about which class is better. Before, there was a huge debate between which was better; Hermit or Chief Bandit. I¡¯ll bring up current opinions of my friends, and counter them with facts in
Maple Story.
Well, MExplosion is a very powerful skill, but it uses way too much
Maple Story mesos. Imagine if MExplosion was a CB¡¯s only skill. They¡¯d be burning so much money.
Hermits are better than bandits damagewise, but in Fourth job, (currently Beta testing in kMS) Bandits own Assassins with the skills they have so far. So it pretty much balances out in
Maple Story.
Assaultive stuns, and can be used for various other purposes, like rebounding after being knocked off a cliff, or just traveling. Its damage isn¡¯t too shabby either. It does the same (and eventually more) than Savage Blow, but its damage range is more unstable. Its
only disadvantage is that it can only be used when a monster is around.
Why do you think Hermits make up 70% of MapleStorys population? L7 is superior to double stab, Hermit skills are more useful, Lucky Seven can be used throughout a Hermit¡¯s life. Night road and Shadower are Assassin and bandit 4th jobs. They¡¯re currently beta testing in Korean Maplestory.
Remember, kMS is only Beta testing this, and ranged hermit 4th job skills are bound to come out. But Assassination IS very powerful. Even a Night Road (NR) can do up to 60k with it.
Assassination is only 4 hits. 4~6 coins come out of each hit with pickpocket. That¡¯s only about 16~24 coins. That damage compared to Assassination¡¯s damage is nothing. Plus, I doubt Assassination needs a finishing attack.
Banditsins are, well, half bandit half assassins. You have to be rich to be one type of banditsin, and these are mainly made for fun.
These Banditsins level up as Assassins in the first job, and choose BANDIT as their second job. THey use Stars and Claws until they can use Savage Blow (a bandit¡¯s main attacking skill) as their main attack. But they update and scroll both daggers and claws according to their level, which can add up. The advantage of being this bandit sin is that you level up faster up until level 45-50, and you can have fun using both Lucky Seven and Savage Blow to fght efficiently.
These banditins basically level up like assassins and choose bandit. They continue to level up like assassins until they are able to use Savage Blow efficiently. Unlike hybrid Banditsins, they discontinue updating their claws, and focus mainly on daggers. This type of Banditsin is to level up faster during first job.
