Final Attack has always been a controversial skill in pre-bb MapleStory. People who like it love it, and people who don't hate it.
There was a previous post suggesting implementing a toggle to turn on/off Final Attack, but I feel like the RNG of it hitting or not is one of the original features of FA, just like crit. However, I do feel like the DPS of FA needs a buff. On single target the damage is slightly weaker than the skills of the classes with FA have, which doesn't make sense as it is a 2nd-job skill.
FA: 250%
Power Strike: 260%
Double Shot: 150%*2
Compared to the AOE skills, FA decreases DPS by A LOT.
Versus Slash Blast, FA is bad due to the weird attack decrease formula of FA.
Versus Bomb Arrow and Iron Arrow, FA is bad since it is only single target.
So, investing 30 SP in Final Attack is inferior than... not adding it at all?
Can we conclude that Final Attack is useless in the current state of the game?
To buff FA, I suggest that buffing the rates of FA to 350% (with 60% success rate), or 300% but with 70% success rate. It would still be bad when using AOE skills, but this would be a buff for those who prefer single-target training. I'm not sure about the rates, but a buff is definitely needed to balance Final Attack.
