Re: MapleStory

The point of the HP is to survive at places :/

Re: MapleStory

Actually, the heal formula for healing has nothing to do with HP either, it's also INT. Afrobean got a pure HP cleric (except for the int required for job advance) up to 33, and could barely heal at all.

Re: MapleStory

Well of course it's based on int, it's an attack :/ I mean it serves a different purpose than most attacks, but it's still an attack.

Re: MapleStory

Heal has nothing to do with HP. At all.

If you want it to be based on HP, play cMS. Their Heal formula is based solely on HP. Meaning not only does it heal more based on HP, it also does more damage to enemies based on HP.

Re: MapleStory

That would make HP clerics so unfair haha. The only thing is that by 4th job they'd suck, but who cares? Most people won't even get that far anyway.

Re: MapleStory

They don't die. Ever. Not to mention that they're insanely strong against undead.

I'd prefer not dying at bosses over not getting a lot out of skills anyway. Then again, I quit my Priest mainly because he was so incredibly weak as a soloer. So whatever.

Crossbowmen are still my favorite class.

Re: MapleStory

No, I like WK's just as much as Pages, it's just that there seems to be a SEVERE underappreciation for Threaten, which when maxed is arguably the handiest skill ever. I think the MS world could use more Pages and less Spearmen.

Re: MapleStory

Actually, Omega, Threaten is pretty garbage. If it reduced based on % rather than a static number, it'd be awesome, but Nexon was too dumb to make the skill worth a damn. =\

Re: MapleStory

eb, I thought it did do it by %... at least, that's what it says on Hidden-street.
Level 20: MP -20; Enemy's weapon attack -20%, weapon def. -20% for 60 seconds

Re: MapleStory

:'( I really need to play more....
Haven't been into the game for too long, since about Christmas last year, but it's definitely my fave MMO right now. Built a botched Warrior til almost 30 then trashed it cause it was just THAT botched, lol... (I was such a damn nub, no one told me about init. building)
Now I'm working on a (not botched) Archer (lv 19 right now). Prolly build to a Ranger, still haven't decided for sure yet...

Any tips you mega-eletist pros wanna give?

Re: MapleStory

Even if it did remove 20%, HB is still superior, because it adds more % in HP (and for magicians, MP) than threaten would take away.

Re: MapleStory

That's not really accurate because if you have enough HP that it's not really much of a concern, Threaten would be better at speed-killing.

But a combination of the two could keep me alive at Crimson.

Assuming it is percent-based (which I think it is) and it works on bosses (which I doubt).

HB probably wins because it's a buff, not a curse.

Re: MapleStory

O.o

Crimson ... as in Crimson Balrog? What level/class are you?
