==History==
*All Disco Bandits (and Accordion Thieves) started with the skill [[Moxious Maneuver]] before it was removed from the game on May 22, 2013.
*Disco Bandits were the second class to be revamped on October 21, 2013, a few days after [[The Space Odyssey Discotheque]] showed up. In addition to 15 brand new skills, all Disco dance moves were changed to be usable once per combat and had their MP costs reduced. [[Disco Combos]] were replaced with [[Disco Momentum]], boosting the Disco Bandit's various combat skills for the combat. Several existing skills had their level requirements lowered, [[Advanced Cocktailcrafting]] now only require one cast a day, [[Disco Fever/Old|Disco Fever]] was changed to a non-combat buff, and [[Disco Power Nap]] was reworked into [[Adventurer of Leisure]] as a passive that improves [[Disco Nap]].  See [[Disco Bandit/Old]] for an archive of the skills prior to the change.
