MapleStory/Aran

Introduction:
Aran is a new race, which is currently available in the test server of the Korean version of MapleStory.

The Aran race has a new area (which is currently unreleased) made for them. (much like the Knights of Cygnus have Ereb). It is called Lienne. There is currently only one job for the Aran Race, this job is simply called Aran for now and they use Pole Arms for weapons.

On top of all that has already been said, they also have a new combo system created just for them. You increase your combo counter by continuously hitting monsters, and as it increases your damage does too. On top of that some of their skills can only be used if your combo counter is over a certain value.

Pros:

 * Due to having fewer active buffs than the other jobs, getting dispelled does not affect them as much.
 * Can "Freeze" boss monsters.
 * Due to having an HP draining buff in the second job, fewer HP potions are needed.
 * Can KB enemies easier due to a third job buff which reduces the amount of damage required to KB.
 * Less crowded training spots due to being good at small maps while most jobs are better in larger maps.

Cons:

 * Due to how much of a part combos take up, enemies with stunning or seducing attacks are difficult.
 * Examples: Papulatus, Zakum.
 * To keep their combo counters up high they must train on slightly higher leveled monsters.
 * One of the best party buffs yet, Aegis Shield, requires a 300 combo counter to activate.
 * Repetitive. They really only have two main attacking skills that don't require some combo counter amount to use.
