Hey Mapleroyals, Today during a nice HT run, I came up with the idea of merged classes for mapleroyals, some sort of new 4th job classes that are really well balanced and thoroughly thought out. I then proceeded to take some time to work this out and here I am presenting to you fully overhauled, well balanced 4th job classes. I have finished one so far: Spoiler: Bowrrior Play Style: Bare hands fighting while also throwing arrows from their back hand Stats: Moderate HP, low Damage Special Perk: Can be used to store old NX equip you do not like anymore. Salute your Master – Makes you salute to any Night Lord passing by your character, making you unable to move for a certain time. [Current Lvl 1] Unable to move for 1 seconds [Current Lvl 20] Unable to move for 2 seconds Maple Mule – Level up by 10 levels per skill level by sacrificing in return the ability to consistently join interesting boss raids. [Current Lvl 1] Chance to be able to enter a boss room: 15% [Current Lvl 10] Chance to be able to enter a boss room: 95% Power Stantch – Encase yourself with the stench of a second class hero, thereby increasing your chance of getting knocked back by enemies while simultaneously and automatically yelling swear words to excuse your failure in to the chat. [Current Lvl 1] Chance of knockback +10%, Increased knockback distance: 20%, chat spam severity: mildly inconvenient [Current Lvl 30] Chance of knockback +60%, Increased knockback distance: 40%, chat spam severity: NSFW Concentrated Rage – Temporarily increases Weapon Attackf or all party members, while sinultaneously increasing skill-based MP usage as well as cancelling all attack buffs in your entire party.

Spoiler: Bishoper Play Style: Lurks in the shadows to cover the whole map in smoke while being intangable for allies and foes along Stats: Extremely low HP, Even lower MP. Special Perk: Soaks up the XP from his allies to become even stronger. Only rarely (aka never) taken to bossing parties. Sneak Peak to upcoming skills: Dark Fright (unclickable seems like a good perk), Vapo Sweenesis (we get it ..), Holy shinboll, Mesorrhea and more .. Spoiler: DankLord Play Style: Equip 3 Claws with 2 natural limbs and an extraneous, bionic arm that was implanted by Maple Admins due to balance complaints on the forums Stats: 1 Up Special Perk: Should allow others to their single player party so someone can admire their swag and style while they single-handedly take care of things. Swag Lord (aka Threaten), Total Crash (u know whats gonna happen), Rush Mashine, Maple Hero, Wood, Poppa Pump and more .. I wanted to share these since I think they are really good, while also getting some feedback about the balancing. It might need a few tweeks here and there but overall I would say it looks really good. Please note the profesionnal art work, I got a whole team of potatoes here doing incredibly front end I have to say! Let me know what you think, maybe you guys come up with your own classes? All the best, may the nonsense be strong with you! Spoiler: Credits Shoutout to Zancks, cause I took some of the skill pictures from his guide instead of taking ingame screenshots cause of laziness (https://royals.ms/forum/threads/4th-job-skill-mastery-book-guide.16552/)
Here's a potential skill you could add: Reclient - Closes and reopens your game, to help with stability in boss runs. [Current Lv 1] MP - 420, takes 3 minutes to reopen, automatically casts every 30 minutes [Current Lv 30] MP - 69, takes 30 seconds to reopen, automatically casts every 60 minutes.
Hero will 20 Passive effect- gains 50% immunity to disconnection Active skill- fully restore connection when you experience black screen/invalid pointer/network connection issue
How about we give the new Swag Lord Class SE? That might partially solve the muling meta and also saves up another party slot for others to admire their skillful play.
Thanks for all the comments - they gave me some ideas and your suggested skills are sweet. If anyone feels like it, post more suggestions and/ or your own class lol this is one is actually good but then I read the auto-feature and I love it! This will add a lot of drama to the game <3 This is actually just good, but I love how you added a 50% chance .On a side note, you should implement it with 100% for royals though. @Kheb Thats actually what real Maplestory did to all characters lol @Sosai Exactly, you want to unlock Modest Eyes asap, so you can start enjoying the torture of being a true Bowrrior.
