Crit DMG - Increases DMG by a certain percentage when it is a critical hit. Crit ATK - Critical Attack - Increases the amount of ATK when it is a critical hit.
Next time Nexon does damage cap increase they should also scale down skill damage percentages and boss HP bars so that we don't get skills with 2500% damage hitting the new damage cap while all our other skills from 1st to 4th job do about 60b (assuming we have a damage cap increase to somewhere about 500b).

The%Damage buff will be recalculated every time Spell Storm is activated; Has a cooldown (200 secs) Grandis Goddess's Blessing Buff: Excluding your weapon, a percent of your equipment's Attack or Magic Attack will be converted to the one you use Does not apply to Set Bonus Effects.

... and not separate from base damage. I keep thinking this should fix Hero critical damage. I have made a thread about this issue Monday in Bug/Glitch. Here is the link: http://maplestory.nexon.net/communit...-UI%26nxid%3D6

And in this thread, Rexaar showed me damage formula and we notice the critical damage is calculated separately from base damage, we use same factors to calculate its damage as we do for base damage, then we add critical damage to the base damage, like below:

And in my thread, I myself calculated that advanced combo attack doesnt calculate critical damage. As example, if I was dealing 22M damage including advanced combo then i want calculate critical damage, we divide 22M by 2.2, so 10M. I add 50% max critical damage from 10M and not from the 22M or else I would do 33M ms2 mesos damage on hard magnus. On him, I do around 21-22M then crit damage, I do around 26-27M max!!! I had done tests by using enrage WITHOUT combo attack, then tested Chance Attack without either those skills, their difference between my current crit dmg and the one seeing on AP window is smaller than with combo attack.

By looking what Rexaar showed me, I really wonder why Nexon havent made it even simplier! I keep thinking in this current critical damage formula, this system ignore up to 1 damage multiplier/amplification and i think it ignores the highest one. Because I meet same issue with enrage when I dont use advanced combo.

So, I make this suggestion thread, asking to change the current damage formula for the one I will show. Slightly different because I completely remove critical damage math then I add the actual crit dmg value as a factor, to it multiplies the *overall* damage !!! Like below, I will put critical dmg in bold and also added damage amplification:

[weapon multiplier * (4 * primary stats * (1+%primary stats) + secondary stats * (1+%secondary stats) * (Weapon Attack * (1+%attack) / 100) * (1+%boss damage + %total damage) * (damage multiplier 1) * (damage multiplier 2) * ... * (damage amplification 1) * ( damage amplification 2) *...] * (1 + %critical damage/100)

The simpliest way it should be made. I am pretty confident this will fix the Hero critical damage. If impossible to change, then give Hero an hidden buff (which should not be shown either on AP window) which multiplies critical damage by (1 + 0.12c)

0.12 because +12% dmg/combo then letter c for number of combo. This little factor is true if we maxed advanced combo and apply hyper skill SP into reinforce combo, or w/e

I am sure this will also fix other classes with the same issue. But Hero is the worst case.

EDIT: I just reread the very last sentence of what Rexaar said. 'As you can see by the brackets the damage multiplier and critical damage is separate, thus damage multiplier are additive with critical hits.' I fail to understand why Nexon makes damage amplification different than damage multiplier when both multiply the normal damage. And, for Hero case, enrage also multiply critical damage when advanced combo is being used. Really, in my opinion both of them should multiply critical damage.

We can't really say dmg multiplier is additive with critical damage because, by looking at his math, has no relation with critical damage. Except Enrage kinda multiplies critical damage because we have an other and bigger damage multiplier being advanced combo. From a reply I have read in the past (in other threads), for KMS it is an intended error. So unfair.

I'm sick to death of seeing maplestory2 botters and hackers all over the game

The majority of them are demon slayers. Several times I've been outside Edelstein or Ellinia and have jumped from channel to channel, finding 1 or 2 bots on literally every channel in some maps. I know Nexon doesn't deal with botters very well, which is another issue altogether

MapleStory 2 Best Class Guide - Pros & Cons | Skill Show

As you know, after a period of testing, MapleStory 2 was finally released. I believe that many players have been playing this game since the beginning of the test, but for new players, everything is new. The first step to entering the game will face the problem of choosing a class. The following guide will help you better understand MapleStory 2's classes, detailed pros and cons, and a rich video introductions about skills!

Pathfinder is an Archer that is part of the Explorer class. She uses an Ancient Bow and is an extremely easy and fun class to play.

Pathfinder has insane mobility, great mobbing, and has abilities to resist 1 hit KO moves. Pathfinder’s kit has everything you need to do almost anything, you only need to know how.

Before You Make A Pathfinder

I have been playing a Pathfinder for a bit and have gotten it to a decent level at 236. The class is easy to use, fun to play and my new main that I will be investing in. If you’re looking to make Pathfinder your main you should know these Pros and Cons.

The Pros of a Pathfinder are amazing mobbing, high mobility and a versatile moveset.

The Cons of a Pathfinder are mainly the fact that to reach the top you are going to have to invest a lot of resources and even if you do, Pathfinder is a little low on the DPM charts.
