  Rank 1 Lance Jump: User jumps high into the air, after a short duration, the user impales a selected target with their lance, dealing [900%?] damage.(Damage always shows as critical) If the target survives the attack, it is immobilized(cannot be knocked back) and stunned for 4 seconds. The user is untargetable for the duration, and cannot cancel the skill. Cannot be used on targets with advanced heavy stander.
  
  Stamina usage: 90?
  Cooldown: 120 seconds?

  Uh... Why? Level 6 cap is fine.

  
  
  Always felt like a odd number for the cap to end. Most games go higher.

  The more ranks you add, the more ridiculously unlikely it is to get to the end. As it is, having an item at anything other than 0/1 is beating the odds.

  Well since it's a matter of opinion, I'm not expecting everyone too agree with that thought. So think what you like. I know it should be increased however. Plus *cough NX protection ,higher tier stones, allban anvil thing*

  we should also do the same for lance charge since lightning rod is a worse and magical version of the skill that doesn't have piercing
  
  look if you want to kick overall damage back to pre genesis levels fine but do it for EVERY skillset; don't nerf some skillsets while leaving other skillsets untouched.

  Shooting Rush
  - Damage multiplier lowered to 250%
  - Cooldown raised to 10 seconds
  - Consumes 2 bullets per target
  
  Bullet Storm
  - Consumes 2 bullets per target
  
  Lightning Rod
  - Cooldown raised to 90 seconds
  
  Hydra Transmutation
  - Stamina coe is decreased down to 0.4
  - Debuff is now viable on monsters and lingers for 10 seconds
  
  Climatic Crash
  - Damage lowered to 300%(x2)
  
  Crisis Escape
  - Lowers all stats and base damage by 30% after turning back to normal.

  
  
  These changes horrible neuter the associated talents.
  
  Hydra Transmutation isn't overpowered and it's certainly not fast.
  If anything you want to nerf AOE pets and tactics that negate agro (Rain Casting/Lullaby/Crisis Escape).
  
  Climactic Crash is the only reason people use puppetry aside from Crisis. Slashing the damage to nearly half its current value outright destroys the talent. Ideally we're looking at buffing Act 1/2/9 and knocking CC down to like 450% damage.
  
  Lightning Rod (as other have stated) is basically Lance Charge sans the reforge reliance. Raising the cooldown isn't the way to balance this skill. If anything, the maximum charge multiplier should be lowered from 200% to 100%.
  
  Bullet Storm isn't an issue.
  
  Shooting Rush is really ridiculous (like everything else). Raising the cooldown to 10 seconds kills the talent. The damage reduction alone would work. That said, you'll have to buff the other skills to make up for it.
  
  You didn't mention Final Hit, Bash, or Kunai Storm.

  That would make it function similarly to Meteor; huge burst damage with long cooldown.

  
  
  Meteor Strike doesn't deal "huge burst damage". I hit harder with Hail Storm at least 70% of the time.

  Horrible idea.
  
  Cooldown for 90 seconds on lightning rod will just make it useless. If anything, I'd lower the magic coefficient a bit, lower the max damage you can get from having a max charge, but also increase the width distance from 200 to 350. The cooldown at r1 remain the same, 15 seconds.
• Darkboy132 wrote on 2015-05-24 18:45
  Lightning Rod's uncharged damage definitely needs to be lowered, its doing way more than Hail does even at lower ranks, and that 0 load time meaning that it can be instantly fired for 20k~ damage is absurd and a very huge detachment from the general consensus of Magic's "slow and powerful".
  
  I don't see why LR should be meant for damage. Meteor does damage, Hail does damage, does the finishing trio need to do damage as well?
  

  
  
  • Int trio: Fireball does damage, Ice Spear does a long-ass stun, Thunder is kind of the middle-way.
    
  • Bolt trio: Icebolt effectively stunlocked and now slows, Firebolt does damage, Lightning Bolt is kind of the middle-way and also area of effect.

  when other skillsets are forced to choose between "fast and weak" and "slow and powerful" then we can talk about this.
  
  but nah, lightning rod is the only one button instant massive AOE damage combo in the game (never mind that it has a small linear AOE and thus needs to be aimed, unlike shooting rush and act 7 which merely requires you to click in the general direction of the mob)

  @Darkboy
  
  I don't see why you hate magic so much and I don't think there is anyone else advocating to nerf magic.
  Instant 10k? Oh, that's totally new to Mabi- oh wait! *cough*
  
  Why would it be an adv magic without damage? Just use bolt magic then. Bolt spells are weaker than int spells, and int spells are weaker than adv spells.
  "Slow and powerful"? You have the option to charge LR. Furthermore, slow and powerful doesn't really work for Mabi because everything would be dead before you even charge half way.
  Also, fireball doesn't really do much. Thunder generally hits more for me since each hit has its own crit chance.
  
  If you think it's too good, then just use it! Lol.
• koishi-sempai wrote on 2015-05-24 20:21
  Back in the day, slow and powerful worked because while magic could do upwards of 10k if you charged for 15 seconds, the best smashes in the game were like 4-5k on a single target and the best WMs were like 2k. Therefore it was worth sitting there and protecting that mage while he loads.
  
  But I guess the people bitching about magic being good are NOT ready to go back to 2k endgame WMs, no hybrid skillsets that are almost exclusively AOE burst, etc etc.

  Nexon needs to release Special Upgrade dye. I'd like that a lot lol
  
  OH! and Altum's Greatsword!
• Kaeporo wrote on 2015-05-24 22:36
  You'll find that a lot of our current balance issues will be fixed if they ever update mob stats. Gunslinger very quickly falls to the wayside when it loses its ability to OHKO/2HKO, for example. The right solution isn't always a direct approach.
  
  That said, Lightning Rod has minimal opportunity cost which will always prove to be problematic (same logic as AOE pets).
• koishi-sempai wrote on 2015-05-25 04:15
  I think any potential issues with Lightning Rod are resolved by weakening uncharged damage and possibly buffing charged damage. I barely fire off charged Lightning Rods anymore because of how strong uncharged is. If that's not enough, make it draw aggro.
  
  Also I disagree with you on Gunslinger - Shooting Rush is very safe, spammable and easy to get off compared to other huge AOE spells, and WOTG is always going to be relevant no matter how beefy mobs are. Making mobs bulkier would probably make int magic more attractive, especially with how fast current int magic is.
