I can't really view a new weapon as anything but good for Vindictus. It's not a competitive game so why does it matter if it can do insane damage? If you don't like it then leave it to someone else who does.

I believe this is to promote party play. I can't help but be reminded of Dungeons and Dragon games/Final Fantasy. If you are a Knight, find a Mage and Archer to come along for long ranged attacks to flying-enemies.
... This is real? Well now, looks like every other character is now placed in the trash. God *** it.I was expecting Vindi to be a big-time game too. Everything is turning biased, and soon the players elitists.
More OP characters? :L
I think Nexon needs to start rebuffing the bosses, or make this gauntlet a bit weaker/giving crap stats. Otherwise, Karok domination, discrimination against Lanns would be even stronger, etc.
Edit: Oh wait, it's only a discussion xD
Nice QQ, bro. Instead of assuming other characters are OP, maybe you should work on learning to play yours. If you actually play Lann well, you can defeat a Karok in PvP easily. I'm sick of people complaining about Karok being OP and then proceeding to play Spear Lann; and doing so poorly, at that.
Do you play a Lann? If you do, probably not well. It's pretty much a pay2win system for all classes, but other classes most definitely have an edge in almost everything. Do you want to tell me to get crits everytime I do a hit? And putting that aside, Karoks can pretty much swing as much as they like in PvPs against Lanns, and most of them won't be able to do sh** back to really kill them. Oh and by "assuming" you mean that it is untrue that other classes are not on equal grounds with Lanns. Brb as I lol.
@Archi: Cadet's is Cadet's. He just had an annoying AI.
Spear Lann -> spin2win -> Karok can't absorb everything -> dead Karok
By the way, back to the actual discussion:
It would appear (at least to me and my somewhat limited knowledge of Korean) that his new dodge, "Weaving," replaces shock absorb, and each successful "Weave" powers up his "Burst Gauge." This "Burst Gauge" has three steps: "Burst Gauge Step 1: Increase Attack Speed: Burst Gauge Step 2: increased damage. Burst Gauge Step 3: [After a predetermined number of smashes, the smash following them is a 100% crit.]"
The weapon itself appears to be a sort of combination of a battle gauntlet and wrist-mounted gun, able to mechanically fire a charge, similar in both form and (from what I can tell) function to Evie's Firebolt.
The implications of these is relatively unknown, given that his Gauntlet (Or Blaster Gage, as it's referred to in Korea) is not currently released. That being said, however, my first thought is that it could be more for DPS in a party, with a possibly faster, more centralized area of attack, and his dodge focusing more on damage (as is evident by the three steps of his Burst Gauge) rather than restoring HP. Another theory I have, supported by the apparent AoE of his Blaster's Firebolt-type attack, is that the Blaster Gage will have a smaller melee range, but will be able to perform longer-ranged specials, which have a slight AoE. Looking at the fifth picture from the top, you can see that the actual explosion is a few feet in front of Karok, suggesting that it has a range longer than that of a normal melee attack.
TL;DR
Karok's "Blaster Gage" has a few things that appear to be confirmed:
- (Maybe) Slightly longer range, possibly focusing more on AoE
- A firebolt-style attack fired from the actual Gauntlet itself
- A new meter, Karok's "Burst Gauge" which has three effects it activates depending on its fullness: Speed, Damage, Crit. This meter appears to be filled by using Karok's dodge:
- Weaving. This appears to be the replacement for Shock Absorb, and apparently powers up Karok's Burst Gauge.

P.S. OP forgot to add[Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/10/19/image2.jpg]to the pictures in the thread. I feel like it's an important image, given its relevance to the Korean post.
That image was the detail I think a lot of you were missing when coming up with theories. It's what opened my eyes when translating the Korean Developer Post.
