While I do agree that adventurers are very underpowered, and need an EPIC buffing to them, that pap video didn't really convine me. It still took the person 9 minutes to solo pap, and she still got hit a considerable amount of times. Buccaneers can god mode this boss without having to knock it back, and if they have enough barrage they can do quite fine damage.
And the power slash formula to the Arans attack is VERY lame, my god I'd rather just be able to hit 6 monsters instead of aggroing 20 towards me with 500's in my damage. You need a high combo to do anything serious, and seeing as how most bosses have a stun on you, you're never going to get that. The answer? Smart knockback. Actually gives you a chance to build your combo up, and do something rather than press CTRL 3 times. Although I didn't see that Arans level, if it was 127, or anything below 130, I would agree that was overpowered. But if that Aran was 130+, that doesn't really make me think they're overpowered. However, saying Arans aren't imbalanced is a bit off to....they clearly have much more advantages than any other class, and I wouldn't really mind to see smart knockback get nerfed anyway, Aran does basically overpower every class. The only disadvantage they have is the MASSIVE pot burn you have to use once drain becomes absoloute(if it ever does, I wouldn't know), and their CB wannabe hp.
I think that
Arans without any combo= Fine as is
Smart back= I wouldn't mind nerfing it, but for that matter I want genesis nerfed
Arans at 100+ combo= Nerfs are acceptable here, because they are much more powerfull in this state
Critical= Sure, nerf it. It's not fair that they can get criticals when pirates have to stun just to get them
But keep everything else the same. There's such things as nerfing, and then overnerfing and killing the class completely.
