They should make somethin better for lions, im scientist currectly 212lvl, skills are like Fail.. berserk that fails casting when you need it, fail gunoverdrive that works only with normal shot, only skill i like is sharpsense.. bad anough lions dont have shield, dark,light.. attributes.. sad!
I think Lions should stay as they are; BlackMagic: Currently Lv.247 Lion.
The Skills aren't ''fail'' at all. You just don't know how to use them. Berserk is actually quite powerful, so it makes sense that something with Speed, Power, and Range -has- to have some drawback on it. In this case, the drawback is a small chance of Failing. Even Shooting Spree has a Fail Rate to be honest, it's not as high as Berserk's but that is because it's much weaker.
What's wrong with having normal shots that can hit for as much damage as a Skill? I heard of a Lion doing over 20k with a normal shot because of those skills. Is that ''fail''? Not in my opinion.
Our ''shield'' is our distance. Normally, characters that have some sort of Shield Skill are close range types. They need the Shield because they are mostly much easier to hit due to having to be at a close range to attack.
I can personally find a use for -all- of the Skills. Just because -you- don't like them doesn't mean they're useless.
Another "shield" is also Lk. With decent Lk, monsters and other players will scream, "stop blocking our attacks!".

Keep in mind 3rd job pures skills aren't even *halfway* done. They should have at least eight skills like 1st and 2nds. Just wait it out, you may think you're fail now, but you don't know what the future will be like.
I'll agree with Pandaboy; my 218 gunner lion with reasonable luck and high ac / hv does pretty darn well. And I only use berserk in one place - count blood trials.

I'm a 233 lion, and right now there is not much to complain about. Sure berserk fails when you need it most, but if berserk fails, immediately follow up with shooting spree. Unless shooting spree doesn't OKo, then beat a hasty retreat from the more then likely angry mob, and try again. Yea, I am wishing that they release more skills for all the classes faster though. At this rate, it's going to take 2 years to get all the skills in.

I'm about half. Lions have great skills in my opinion. However, I think we should be able to get a stun skill similar to skunk pouch and faint to improve our chances of survival.

lol honestly lions are already well on their way as it is. There are always more skills coming out in the future and with most of the base skills out of the way there are sure to be some skills to build upon those later in the future(possibly AC buffs or increased crits for skills you never know).
Also, this game is one of the most imbalanced games out there, but the tides always turn every once in a while. For example, when i started the game 2 years ago, charm characters were the most powerful because of the fact that you get dodge/attack damage all in one stat. Then came dark dragons with insane damage and physical reflecting. Then came the day of the lion when they would get like 10gunshots in about 4 seconds with the amount of attack skills they have. Sure the lion hasn't had its limelight for a bit, but it always changes back every once in a while.

That's what I did. Although, after a while I noticed Beserk failing a lot less. I can trust it to work when I want it to, and it rarely fails when I need it. I suppose it's different for everyone *shrugs* Know if you can count on it or not. Then you won't walk into death traps and suicide runs (of course, those can be fun too 8D)
The skills have different uses. You mentioned liking Sharp Sense. If you already ohko enemies without it, then that skill is "useless" too. I'm proud to be a Scientist <3 even though everyone wanted me to go Cyber. I enjoy the current skills that are out, and look forward upcoming, new ones.
~Pure for life~
If you dislike your current character, why not try a new one?

I only ever found it to fail when out of range O_o?

I will be honest, Lions are fine or field, and not bad again bosses, but PvP and GvG is horror.
No matter do you are low level or high level, Lion all time will be weak in fight again other class than Lion.
There are to way to fight for Lion scientist:
Skill combo ( double shot + shot spree + bersterk ), or if you have perfect timing for normal critical shots, you can use keen sense and gud overdrive ( meaby overheat, I not reanember ), critical hit never miss and damage is not bad.
In fight again monsters and bosses they are fine, they are meaby fast in training but for now charm type was the first what got 400 level so meaby Lions are not so perfect in training after all.
In PvP they miss charm type ( if Lion not use critical hit ) and damage again charm are realy low, shield break is pointless if charm can beat Lion with one hit.
Mage and Lion are funny in battle, magic dodge base on LK, ammo dodge base on 2*LK +HV ( I think so ), so they can miss each other, mage is slow but strong range, Lion is weak but fast range, but mage can heal himself and with light shield shoting is pointless.
Power make incredible damage, so it is high chance they can take down lion with one hit, but the strongest are bunnys and buffalows with bunny skills, charm HV and lion LK is pointless with bunny skill guard break, and skill what can block 5 hits is best defense they can have ( skill lock on and many others useless Lion skills are nothink to quard break and block skill ).
I used 210 level scientist to fight again 180 level buffalow with bunny skills, I lose 30 times ( all time by 1 hit ) and I did not took even 1 Hp, what a shame.
In fight again racoon 110 level with dobule shot 2000 damage was all I could do.
In my opinion shield skill for lion is not bad idea since 1 KO in PvP is happening alot times to lions,
What Lion realy, realy need are just skills what will help in PvP or GvG, for example realy weak attack what shot 5 ammo ( to beat bunny guard ), or shot what can take out magic shield.
And I would be happy if they would put better informacion about every skills.
I wasted alot points on keen sense because I did not knew that it increse power only to normal critical shots, also gun overdrive or overheat ( I m not shour ), because I did not knew it not afect skills, shield break is fine but miss alot times, skill what lion or fox can learn in the begining to take out HV is phatetic ( it say that it base on DA you have, but even with high DA, HV it take out is realy low ), probably not only lions are having this problem so this sugestion is not only for lions.
