Nerf, Emptiness

Balance.

It’s a truly heavy and difficult subject in RPGs.

Balance is obviously necessary, but all RPG users want their main job to be a little better than other jobs.

That’s just an unavoidable mindset.

Everyone who plays RPGs with meters knows how fun it is to receive even a small buff and take first place or the top ranks on the meter in dungeons, subjugation battles, and raids.

Especially for me, who really likes meters…

,Tsk. How dare they nerf Assassin? How weak is Assassin!”

Honestly, it’s because it’s me that I’m using it well.

You need the sense to maintain Extrasensory Perception and use Essence and Reverse buffs at the right time to extract the highest DPS.

But I’m enduring and enduring all that inconvenience to get the highest score, and it’s too high, so a nerf?

Even if the buff duration is increased by two, nothing has changed regarding the inherent passives from Essence and Reverse.

The reason why Assassin is difficult is ultimately because the DPS varies greatly depending on when and how you use Essence and Reverse.

But they just increase the buff duration and nerf the highest score?

This can be said to be very displeasing.

,They’re doing a lot of balance patches… Haha…”

,I know. It’s a little disappointing.”

I want to vent all my frustration, but I’m not alone right now, and I met Yesol to enjoy watching Leo-on together.

Because Yesol is watching my face instead of comfortably watching Leo-on, I quickly pulled myself together.

I can feel cold sweat on Yesol’s hand that’s on my stomach.

Fortunately, the story about balance ended and the next update news came out.

[What I’m going to introduce this time is the Awakening Skill.]

,Awakening Skill?”

[You can think of it as a kind of finishing move. It’s a skill that each job can use by accumulating stacks when attacking or taking damage in dungeons, subjugation battles, and raids.]

,Wow… Heok, that’s awesome. The effects are no joke?”

,Oh… This is pretty cool.”

,Heok. Isn’t the Knight’s Awakening Skill too cool?”

I was curious how the Awakening Skill would be expressed in the virtual world.

Usually in RPG games, Awakening Skills, Ultimate Skills, and Finishing Moves have videos and receive invincibility judgments and use powerful DPS.

Then what about the virtual world?

A huge and flashy effect appeared, and it was so cool and impactful that it felt like the best technique before death in a fantasy comic.

The Knight’s Awakening Skill that Yesol mentioned created holy wings like a tanker serving a goddess, that is, an administrator, and a huge sword fell from the sky like God dropping an iron mace, killing the monster in front of it.

Even in old PC RPGs, I would just say “Oh…” even if only a good quality video came out, but seeing such a huge effect in this virtual world made my heart pound.

Other jobs came out one after another, and finally Sword Master came out.

One-handed sword job Sword Master.

A rift appeared behind Sword Master, and several one-handed swords appeared.

A huge amount of energy burst out from Sword Master’s body, and he pulled out the one-handed swords that appeared and used them one by one, but the one-handed swords couldn’t withstand the force and shattered each time they were swung.

Sword Master’s Awakening Skill ended by pouring out tremendous attacks with many one-handed swords, all with a disposable feel.

It felt less impactful than the Knight, but since Sword Master wasn’t my main job anyway and Assassin is now my main job, it didn’t matter much.

After the Tanker and Swordsman Awakening Skills ended, the Healer video came out next.

Pinku Berry’s main job, White Mage, had the most pure healer-like Awakening Skill among healers.

Maybe because it’s a holy job like the Knight, when the White Mage knelt and prayed in the sky, an angel came down from the sky and stretched out its hand, spreading energy.

Yesol’s main job, Medic, who is holding me.

A huge dragon appeared in the sky and roared, sending small, cute baby dragons flying to all the allies around, giving additional attacks when the allies attacked and periodically healing the allies.

,Wow… Wow… It’s so cool and cute! I’m so glad I became a Medic…!”

If White Mage is a saintess concept, Medic is a war medic concept, so it’s not just healing, but also a DPS Awakening Skill.

As each job’s Awakening Skill was shown, I became more and more excited about my main job, Assassin.

One-handed swords and greatswords are cool, but honestly, isn’t the assassin’s dagger the coolest?

,Ah! Arang-ah, the assassin jobs are finally coming out!”

,Hehehe. Assassin got nerfed, but it was to rise again with the Awakening Skill. I’m really looking forward to it!”

,Bae-deopgae-nim’s job, Grim Reaper, is coming out first!”

Assassin Grim Reaper.

If Assassin is a concept of moon and blood, Grim Reaper is a concept of shadow assassin.

Honestly, it would be strange if they couldn’t create an Awakening Skill with this concept.

In the video, the shadow on Grim Reaper’s leg spread to the entire field, and a skeleton with a visual that would make anyone flinch appeared from within, holding a huge scythe.

The skeleton was so eerie that anyone would call it a Grim Reaper, and when it swung forward with its huge scythe, the space shattered and the damage rose chwar-reu-reuk, ending the video.

,Really, everyone’s Awakening Skill is cool this time. People are going to love this again, aren’t they? Now next is Arang’s job, Assassin!”

I watched with a pounding heart.

Assassin, a job that uses the moon and blood.

It’s a job with cool basic skill effects.

A job that uses the moon’s buff when it’s Essence, and the blood’s buff when it’s Reverse!

Just cool itself!

Assassin’s Awakening Skill video started.

Assassin is just standing still and not doing anything, but suddenly the sky starts to darken.

The sun disappears somewhere and a huge moon appears, and then the moon turns red as if blood is spreading in the water.

,Ooooo…!”

And the screen turned black.

,…Huh?”

And the next job came out.

,…Uh?”

,…Eh?”

I closed my eyes and opened them again.

Instead of an Assassin holding two daggers, the video of the next assassin job, Staber, started to come out.

Staber is a job that uses stilettos specialized in stabbing, not daggers for cutting.

No, why is the Staber Awakening Skill video coming out?

Is that all from earlier? Really? Is that all?

Before my thoughts were over, Staber’s Awakening Skill started.

And my heart turned black too.

-Assassins can’t help but be cool. The entire assassin job is just cool, so there are so many users ke ke.

ㄴThe trap is that there are so many noobs ke ke ke

-Should I raise a Grim Reaper?

It’s cool, but… is that all?

Is there nothing else?

-You dominated the sky, let’s have a drink

ㄴke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke. It’s the biggest effect among the effects.

-No, sibal, is this right for Assassin? Are you just changing the sky and that’s it?

ㄴLooks like it’s a buff-type Awakening Skill?

-Other jobs are so flashy, but why is Assassin…

ㄴIt’s flashy though

I’m already pissed off because I got nerfed, but the Awakening Skill is also shit, so I’m really pissed off.

[Comments]

-I’m worried about our Princess… Is she going to change jobs?

ㄴThinking about it, she abandoned Sword Master after Sword Master got nerfed and became Assassin

ㄴHeol… Does that mean the job that the Princess does…

ㄴGets nerfed ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke

ㄴIt’s because Arang is so good that it can’t be helped

-The Awakening Skill is cool, but it ends too quickly. Other jobs have flashy attack motions themselves, but it just ends with a background click. It’s so empty sibal

[Arang’s job]

Looking at it now, the job that our Princess does is bound to get nerfed.

Because she just breaks through the meter with her crazy physicals, they can’t help but nerf the highest score.

The Princess might change jobs again, and that job is confirmed to be nerfed in the next update

[Comments]

-From now on, the job that Arang takes on… good luck

-I’m curious about Arang’s next job. Looking at it now, she’s only been doing melee jobs.

ㄴㅇㅇ I think she said she doesn’t have any ranged jobs raised?

ㄴThen it must be a melee DPS?

ㄴHonestly, I wish Arang would do Berserker and silence the Berserker kids ke ke ke ke

ㄴBerserkers are so annoying to see in public parties ke ke ke

-Isn’t our Princess angry? Every time I change jobs, I get nerfed? I’m just so angry? ke ke ke

ㄴㅇㅈ Even if one thing gets nerfed, I’m pissed off, but every time I touch it, it gets nerfed? Sibal, it’s just imagination, but it’s shit ke ke ke

[Emergency]

I wrote a post on the Princess’s fan cafe.

The post title and content are just three dots… Emergency!

-Heok.
