*Warning: Post contains speculation as well as potentially temporary changes (in terms of content); nothing in this post that is not derived from the references is purely speculation and not fact.

It seems as if this is the final hero job and the Black Mage is almost ready to make his grand appearance. Luminous is a magician that uses a Shining Rod as a primary weapon and an orb as a secondary weapon. He also wields a special characteristic that allows him to use Light and Dark based attacks, with this he exhibits a special trait in which the more he uses one skill the more powerful the opposite will become. Basically, the more you use a dark-attribute skill the more a light-attribute skill's power will increase. There's a UI that shows how potent one of your attack types should be compared to the other as shown in the SS below. Not only do they have of this, but they are also voice-acted as well!

Not only did we get a sneak preview of the newest and final hero of MapleStory! We bare witness to further changes to the existing classes: all classes excluding KoC and Evan will now advance to 3rd job at level 60 and 4th at level 100. This seems to be a drastic change of direction and suggests future content for all the classes (such a drastic change to almost warrant a 5th job advancement, but just speculation of course). Don't worry, all of the 2nd job skills have been adjusted to compensate for that 30 SP you won't be getting anymore. Not only did this change, but it seems that NexonKR decided to get rid of the secondary stat requirement on all equipment except Empress equipment.

Portal graphics got changed also.

Edit #1: Apparently Phantom took a huge nerf to the face as well. It seems there's a cooldown with Talent of the Phantom Thief (I-IV) now and most of their skills got a % cut. Honestly this nerf was completely unjustified in my opinion, it seemed to me as if Phantom was fairly balanced.

Edit #2: Yea... They get a keydown that can be toggled up and down at various angles... Yea, this is literally the most over-powered class ever to come to Maple. The mobbing potential for this thing is literally insane.

Edit #3: Here's some videos of them training:

I personally feel that all of these changes are a bit much to take in over a solitary patch, and would have preferred them spread out over more; however, it is good to see the future of MapleStory in one quick sweep instead of over time.

According to those video's , we now have a job that have skills that make battle moan sounds.

Also,
I find it funny that nexon's removing all the negative aspects/attributes of every player. It defies the balance of the game, but it does save a man's dollars invested.

Like, what's the point in even playing the original 4 explorers anymore? They're way under-powered compared to these jobs, geez...

In some cases, nexon balanced it out (Such as I/Ls were OP a few patches back etc) , they have revamps coming up for each of the jobs (the thief and pirate revamp is coming soon)

Helllll yeah. I can't wait for the thief revamp. It's been stuck at 110 for quite some time, and I'm finally gonna get it to 4th job (always been my dream, lame I know).

The cooldown is only used for changing the skills, so that you can't change the skills so fast.

Holy ... is KMS trying to turn into a private server? Luminous shouldn't even be a class.

You'd be surprised what NK has turned into .. shame really. But then again I mean on some level I do understand, it's been so long since MS has come out that it's more or less now, about "candy appeal", there's only so much of something people can take before they get too bored.
