Your thoughts on Evan class
#21
They should let you ride on the dragon as a mount and still let you use skills on it. Now THAT would be epic as hell. ....albeit I'm sure that would surmise some balance issues of SOME sort. I still think it's an awesome idea though. Sad

It is nice to see an Evan forum opened, thanks Fiel.

ClawofBeta Wrote:Favorite class as of now, I prepared a lot for it. Almost 150 million funds (shaddup it's rich for me) and I hunted all the items for the level 10 quests beforehand.
Before I did my calculations, I had already amassed quest items up to level 50 (I need the Quest Specialist medal) and have purchased/scrolled all E.Wands, Overalls, Gloves, etc. up to near end-game status. Given all of this I don't think I can really turn my back on Evans since getting rid of my equipment would be a grandiose hassle, but I think I'll be playing with a bit of bitterness.

On a side note: Does anyone know where I may get a translated copy of all the Evan quest list for those quests specifically tied to being an Evan, I tried EllinForest thinking it might be there but I didn't see it.

solarboy Wrote:Well, one thing are the calculations and another thing is how the class is really played, a normal evan is incredibly strong, and also is a multi class (support and atacker) not to mention that evans can go and do some bossing with illusion
Speaking ill of my calculations? Blasphemy. No, just kidding, I'm glad that there are a few that will play because they genuinely enjoy it. I've never played any high-leveled character other than a mage (4 lolI/L AM in several different servers) so I won't notice the damage difference.

Takebacker Wrote:Evan's suck and the majority will only make them for the glasses. All they do is support the notion that magic classes are INFERIOR to weapon classes in terms of single target DPS. The fact that they are a support/attack hybrid class doesn't change the fact that they have mediocre DPS and are weaker than arch mages until 170+. The only thing evans have going for them is support skills, not their damage.
This is by far the most annoying thing about the design of Evans, they are like Cygnus Knights in that they are (comparatively) crazy strong from the start of the game until the late 12X's, early 13X's, but from then on they are weaker than AM...-_-...and they don't get stronger than AM after that.

ClawofBeta Wrote:Well...if they happen to stumble across a boss that is resistant to all the elements...they outdamage Arch mages with Elemental reset...and that homing skill helps with damage...sort of...

...Curse helps too.
Even though this is a bit of a niche position, I love GPQing and Ergoth is annoying unless I'm BBing it (BB not maxed, so usually CL only) and I'm a freelance GPQer so many times I'm the only bosser among lower levels so I'll enjoy some element-free Illusioning at Ergoth.

Evan, I don't think much of them. They had so much potential but they just turned out kind of average in the end (not that I'm asking them to release broken classes or anything). The extra support should be nice though; next stop, adding more content that can actually utilise this extra support so "support" classes aren't considered "useless".

Evans are boring as hell. I had planned to get one to 100 for the glasses, but 100 is just too much on such a boring class. That and, the glasses have to be karma'd. They should have made them like the Aran ring.

Pretty much what Matt said, they're really boring and slow.

They look alright. In terms of how useful they are, I don't know. Don't really care enough to find out.

Exactly, they are boring and uninspired. They don't really offer up anything that different in game play and were a huge let down after Aran considering they are the second Legendary class. Splitting job advances into 10 skill masteries just doesn't cut it with me. I don't see how that is a plus or interesting at all. The dragon is basically just a free cash shop weapon.

Translated Evan quests: Yeah, it's a bit hard to find on ellinforest. I didn't read it because I don't want the story ruined for me.

About your calculations: I didn't really pay attention to what you included. Now, the only thing I can think of that Evan can outdamage AMs damagewise is with Curse, but it's kind of negligible...

That's the whole damn reason I'm making an Evan.

does evan's magic resistance party skill stack with bishops's ER?

=3 i wud make an evan mule jus for that xD

Until MapleStory diverges from its bland core of knocking out a lot of the same bosses over and over again, Evans won't bring anything new to the table. They're a pretty mediocre class and the awful casting speed does not appeal to me.

Probably yes, but it doesnt last for long

I'll probably play this class I guess, I don't know... Do you think they'll get invited to bosses despite how mediocre they are?

Also, I/L AM's are going to be the second-best mages because chiefs are weak to lightning and ice now, and Evans primary attack seems to be fire based(unless you reset it), so I really wouldn't even compare them to an I/L mage now, unless they can boss.

You have the flying skill (obtained for a PQ i think) but you cant use that with your mount on

Im not sure if the flying skill can be used outside of the PQ though

i know about evan/adventurer dragon mounts. They can only fly about a meter off of the ground, and their jump is only 120... why cant they actually FLY FLY!!! like go around the map with it..
