  Check again. Magic Missile is on there.
  
  I suspect that they'll treat it the exact same way as Full Swing and simply reduce the cooldown to 5 seconds.

  Honestly, i'm pretty disappointed in every single person in Mabinogi. We have a huge number of skills at our disposal but I rarely see people use anything other than a select few cookie-cutter skills. Doppelganger is an awesome skill (even at lower ranks) and I never see people use that in combat. Head to KR Mabinogi and everyone uses that shit.
  
  Final Hit? Nope. We don't use that here, not even as an alternative to Charge. Tumble? Triggered. Shockwave? Nope, never.
  
  What about the other racial abilities? I understand that Mirage Missile isn't great but I haven't seen anyone use Mirage Missile, Magic Missile, or Final Shot in like fucking years. The same goes for Giant abilities to include Full Swing, which was once the top dog in Mabinogi.
  
  People bitch and whine about skills being "bad" but never find ways to utilize them. If you start experimenting, you'll discover that a lot of these skills are more useful than you think. If you keep bitching and demand that everything gets stronger and stronger, DevCat is going to be forced to release more content like Girgashiy (and his % hp attacks) just to keep up.
  
  So, there's really no reason for them to open Magic Missile up to wands/staves. If you're not gonna use the skill now, you're not gonna use the skill then.

  
  
  I consider comboing my specialty actually,its pretty fun linking up skills.doppleganger and final hit are really nice movement skills .I was literally hoping ninja would be an fun melee DPS class for combos.but its actually pretty choppy and..badly designed in my opinion

  You know what... I think I'd use dopple even more if it charged via hitting things x number of times. Because I like to save it for bosses if I'm not sure if I'll have enough mob kills before the boss to just use it. Something like, 5-10 hits = 1 required kill charge.

  Ninja could have been really cool but instead wound up being the hands-down worst designed system I've seen. It's clunky, buggy, and doesn't provide half the functionality it should.

  Shuriken Charge has one of the worst mechanics. You have to TARGET something in order to use and that target must be in RANGE; that means you're liable for getting hit. Shooting Rush/Bullet Storm position lock come equally close to that.
  
  
  Dark Knight Disarm:
  -HP consumption 10 /sec -> 3.33% /sec, effectively lowering disarm time to last 30 seconds rather than infinite.
  -Now negates any form of health regeneration.
  -Automatically cancels a pre-loaded Life Drain.

  I wounder what this reminds me of... Oh yeah... NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DAMAGING SKILL IN THIS GAME.
  Granted I see what you mean because 90% of ninja skills don't require you to 'target' something. That said, it doesn't stop you from doing this, as you can still use 'basic' melee and magic skills with them.
  
  I do like your DK idea though. Though allow for hp potions to still effect the player though at an increased pot poisoning effect. You're desperately trying to hold onto that form while the end continues to draw closer.

  You can't pre-load Shuriken Charge without a selected target in range. You can do that with every other skill.

  No. We're supposed to be encouraging high stats not handicapping them. It's because of things like this that makes things like Mana Recovery's percent based mana regeneration necessary. We don't need more percent based stat loss.

  I guess that is true, but it's not something you can run with anyway. It's also a mainly 1v1 skill type, so it also makes sense.

  So you're saying you're FINE with infinite Dark Knights? That shit lasts too long.
  
  And how the heck is Mana Recovery "necessary"?

  Not necessarily. The mechanics it has barely gives you enough time to fully charge it, because you're FORCED to attack the enemy in order to use SC. Smash, Magnum, etc. on the other hand can be used even out of range, giving enough preparation to use it before going in.

  That being said, there's a key you can set (if it isn't already, which I think it is) to 'target' a mob near you without attacking it.

  Is there any actual benefits for doing this? People can do infinite DK so easily nowadays, but I don't see it happen often at all.
  
  As more and more skills are released, the amount of stats Transformation provides is less than the total amount.
  
  Transformation will become even more useless if there are enough skills to reach capped stats without any equipments in the future.

  Yea, I think it is tab selecting or something. I think Shuriken Charge's "problem" is just a glitch/bug that they haven't really care to fix.

  I have it on but it occasionally targets mobs that I don't want to target.

  Remove infinite DK. Transformations help with beginner and middle game significantly, my stats aren't yet capped but the boost Transformations give nearly reach that.

  Removing a benefit that only provides to beginners and middle level players sounds like bad strategy. You want to promote beginners (and middle level players) to keep playing the game. Of course, neither of those players will actually buy 10 Cloud Pets off the bat.
  
  If bosses keep releasing stuff that attacks for % of life, being in transformation is harder to keep up.
  
  Not nerfing infinite DK also kind of promotes people to buy the healing pets as well...

  If you're going to make percent stat loss there must be percent stat gain. You do not punish character development. People earn higher stats. And if anything, Mana Recovery is good because it scales to your character's development, the more you work on your character the better Mana Recovery works.

  YES.
  
  A: I think all transformations should get it in fact. Automatically if not having to complete a quest to do so.
  B: You spend effort to keep Disarm on. You use up items, you support the game by purchasing cash pets, you spend effort healing yourself up, or someone else takes the role of a healer or part time healer.
  C: As stated before, percent based stat loss is punishing character development.
  D: What issue does Disarm create? Are you honestly telling me being a Dark Knight is overpowered? As is I am probably stronger with a title outside of Tranformation than in. That should be the issue you're concerned with, not Disarm.
  E: You do not remove features unless there's a good reason. There is almost never an excuse, you're just going to piss your playerbase off. (Then again this is the same company that removed vocaloid-colored nonvocaloid hairs but not nonvocaloid-colored vocaloid hairs for no reason at all.)
