Past few days:





Also went to get a helm for a friend who bought (Fraps didn't work as she had a face set to the key I use for Frap.. So I didn't get an ending vid to take a SS from):

Get me into a zak party Jason.

Re: MapleStory

Get me into a zak party Jason.

When you do, let me know how many elixirs you run through so I can be as prepared as possible when I get there.

Re: MapleStory

Jason could probably tell you how many elixers a priest goes through on average. And I imagine it varies wildly between the quick and long groups.

I also bet mages lose the most money out of everybody there. =\

my god i hope i NEVER EVER EVER get that into a game =[

When you've played for like 2 years it's hard to NOT be that into the game. I get into the same technical kinda talk when I'm discussing BF2 with my roommate. After a while you reach a point where you don't just play the game, you examine and explore the intracacies. It's fun. =P

Yeah, I know. I figure though, that Bonk is going to end up starting in a group with lower levels that'll take longer to kill which means more elixirs used, and since I'll also likely be starting in a group like that, his amount of use should give me a real number worth shooting for rather than "oh priests use like 1k elixiris ^_^". I guess what I'm really trying to say here is getting this info from bonk would be as close to first hand knowledge as I'll get before actually getting into Zakum myself, and even if the information that others get second hand and pass along to me is accurate, I'd feel best about getting it from a closer source. Does that make sense or am I just crazy?

I also bet mages lose the most money out of everybody there. =\

If by "mage" you mean "magician" I'd probably have to agree with you.

Rofl, myself being the exception.

No, I meant mages. We don't have ER, and I'm fairly certain Zakum's attacks are elemental. Plus I don't think any mages go without having amp maxed, and especially if you're in the mob party spamming Strike/Explo (and I get the impression that's what most mages do) for 100mp/cast you'll definitely use more MP than a priest spamming heal a lot.

But due to MG, priests probably spend more zakuming than any non-mage class. THEN AGAIN WHAT DO I KNOW I'M JUST SOME LEVEL 100 FP MAGE THAT HAS ONLY SEEN ZAKUM ONCE. ;____;

Rofl, myself being the exception.

Except you haven't really played for ~2 years. Just because it's been on your computer that long doesn't mean you've played it that long. =P

PS:

elixirs

Dammit. >___<

Re: MapleStory

Wouldn't Zakum's attacks be fire attacks considering he's a giant fire thing :/

In which case, we'd have partial resistance. A point in it would save us 23% more potions.

Re: MapleStory

Google and Yahoo are both failing me right now, all I could get was this:



Just a thumbnail, but you can clearly see the ice. There's also lightning, fire, and poison attacks, plus physical stuff. Also, even if a FP mage had 1 in PR, any priest that Zakums will have maxed ER. >__>

Re: MapleStory

Noah, pot usage doesn't come from skills. You should know that it'll come almost entirely from MG.

And don't forget, mages use less pots than they would otherwise because of priest spamming heal. In my opinion, this closes any possible gap that could be caused by Priests having better resist. Tosh brings up a great point as well. Partial Resist. Sure, not as good as max ER, but knocking off ~20% is still damn good.

The point though, is that mages aren't the only ones hit with high pot use. All magicians are.

You do not have amp. I didn't think double MP costs would even matter, but it does. And I don't even quite have double yet. -___-

How does your main skill costing 56 MP compare to taking 6000+ MP damage from 1/1 attack or about 2400 MP damage from a normal attack?

You'd have to use fire arrow nearly 100 times just to compare to the MP taken from a single 1/1. About 42 times of casting to compare to Zakum's normal attack. And all the while, you're recovering 100+ MP every 10 seconds to further offset the cost of your attacking.

Re: MapleStory

Considering how boring it is, yes.

Like in GunZ, I can play DM/zerker for 5 hours straight without even thinking about it. In MS, I find it painful to train for more than three hours.

Re: MapleStory

I'm just saying, the difference from amp is significant. That and ER make priests much more cost effective at Zakum.
