Re: MapleStory

My hp is quite average... Archers have horrible hp and mp forever.. Just something you have to live with. My hp is higher then most people because I scrolled my hat for hp. It isn't that low, I can take a hit from almost every monster except for boss monsters =/

Re: MapleStory

Freaking wireless is killing my ability to play. Keeps knocking me offline. =(

And being at my job constantly doesn't help either. ;____;

PS: Wizet fails at math. o_O

EDIT: Dogos, you don't get any extra HP/MP when you do the 3rd job advance. You get one SP (like with any job advance) and 5 AP. That's all. No extra HP/MP, not extra inventory slots, nothing. =(

Re: MapleStory

Why would I want to max Critical Shot instead of Arrow Blow? Arrow Blow is much better it seems.

[Dogos]

Re: MapleStory

if you max crit shot then when you use arrow blow or any other skill or regular shot you have a better chance of dealing a critical blow. crit blow is used for every arrow so any skill or regular shot you make you have a certain % to do a critical shot. You can put points in ab or ds but max crit shot

Re: MapleStory

Heh. Yea. I know how you feel EB. I get dropped about 3 times an hour with my wireless.

And for my skills. I have just been putting them in Critical shot, The one that makes them go farther, 1 into Focus, 1 into Arrow Blow Im pretty sure, and accuracy one.

Yea. I suck.

Re: MapleStory

fluorescent your kinda wasting time, points, lvling by doing this. You want to skip the accuracy part and max out distance and crit and choose either ds or ab then put the rest of your points in whatever you want. the way you are doing it makes all your skills low lvled and not as appliable to lvling. understand?

In my opinion, focus is rather useless. Max range for sure and max out critical, then I would go for maxing double shot because the damage for ds is much more stable then arrow blow (which doesn't mean it is stronger then arrow blow, most get this confused). However, you will have 9 extra points at the end of 1st job (8 for you since you put a point into focus). I strongly recomend putting these 9 points into arrow blow just because you really need the knock back (kb) later on. I would max arrow blow if you plan on going fa-less (final attack, 2nd job skill that fires an extra arrow after you use a skill. Sounds good but it is a huge waste of points because it doesn't work for 3rd job skills and it defeats the purpose of mobbing). Well I guess I should post a short build for all these upcoming archers O_O

10 1 arrow blow
11 3 blessing
12 3 eye (3)
13 3 eye (6)
14 2 eye (maxed) 1 critical shot (cs) (1)
15 3 cs (4)
16 3 cs (7)
17 3 cs (10)
18 3 cs (13) (make the switch to xbow now, you should have been using melee weapons if you followed my advice earlier on =D)
19 3 cs (16)
20 3 cs (19)
21 1 cs (maxed) 2 double shot (ds) (2)
22 3 ds (5)
23 3 ds (8)
24 3 ds (11)
25 3 ds (14)
26 3 ds (17)
27 3 ds (maxed)
28 3 arrow blow (4)
29 3 arrow blow (7)
30 3 arrow blow (10)

This is just what I recomend but it really comes down to your play style. I like to control enemys so kb (knockback) that comes from arrow blow is very useful in making sure I don't get run over by monsters with high kb (especially for higher level monsters) KB is very very important to archers and ds has bad kb (strafe even worse >.<). Think about it this way...

1 shot 260% when maxed (arrow blow)
2 shots 130% each arrow when maxed (double shot)
4 shots 100% each arrow when maxed (strafe)

Overall damage may be similar, but the way the damage is given to the monster is different. Double shot, the damage is divided up into 2 parts while arrow blow is one supercharged arrow that does quite a bit of damage with one strike, thus easily kbing monsters. Strafe has the worst because damage is divided into 4 arrows. Sure it has higher chance of critical but it still has unreliable kb.

I'll post a 2nd job advance build for you guys later when you want/need me to =/ Again, my build is only based on my playing style. If you want to take on higher monsters earlier, I would get more accuracy (I see no point in this really but I made the mistake of putting my points into accuracy early on. This costed me later because I had to use 3 extra levels to get arrow blow to level it should have been). If you want more avoid (20 avoid is rather pointless in my opinion) and don't mind having another semi-flashy skill to stick on your crowded keyboard, be my guest and put your extra 9 points into focus. Don't worry if you messed up already because there really is no wrong way to do 1st job builds. As long as you have maxed eye, double shot, and critical, you can't go wrong =)

Good luck to all of you, I hope you the best.
