That's what I mean, at 5X you'd have a hard time hitting them. I'm pretty sure 6X even has a hard time hitting them. I mean, that's why they're there instead of at Grims or sharks or something better.

Re: MapleStory

It seems like you would have to have pretty decent brace, which is a waste of points. I'd rather max Slow as a f/p mage =/ Level 1 brace just doesn't seem like it would cut it. And how would you finish them off? With claw? I can't even hit monsters 6x and i'm 4x right now. -_-

Re: MapleStory

Cam, if you can hit them with Brace, you can hit them with anything else. Claw would be the best choice, though, since it's 2 hits in one, and thus, double the chances to do a finishing shot.

Also, you'd need like 28 Brace for it to be worthwhile, cuz it'd only be fast if you went around hitting every DT a couple times until it was poisoned and then moving on.

20 matk NLC pots = meditation can be dropped
12 MP eater
28 brace.

Poison brace and Magic claw can be used to finish them off. Despite the fact that you miss a lot at 5x, the 1300 or so exp makes up for that.

Re: MapleStory

What about if the person doesn't have poison brace....any fire weak monsters?


Well I guess I will see when I get on...it's half way done downloading.

Re: MapleStory

To be quite honest I really don't think I dislike maple.. I'm definitely just in a hole for I/L mages. If I could be getting exp like Chris seems to be getting (albeit, Chris has ****ing amazing gear,) I would definitely play again. That hasn't magically happened for i/l, has it?

Yeah, well Priests are stronger now with Ice Mages having to level on neutral or Holy weak monsters.

You should try it if/when we get Bains armory.

Re: MapleStory

Eric, you'll prolly still level up faster than anybody 100+. And you have more to look forward to when leveling than Chris does. I mean, what, are you finishing off Dragon or Doom right now, Chris? I certainly wouldn't be looking forward to that ****. I remember in my 70s though I was ****ing pumped cuz every level meant more range, which meant more sniping spots, plus I was getting ridiculously strong. Too bad now I just have Compo to look forward to, which is really only so I can get a ZHelm since it's weak as **** and will only beat FA sometimes when it's like level 25. =\

Yeah, FP is 100% set after seal and mist. Amp and booster is nice, but not really needed for them to grind fast. And Comp... single target damage is always freaking TERRIBLE.

And yeah, I'm leveling Doom now. The reason I was leveling so much was fast and easy exp from Dreamy Ghosts, competition from Bonk, and getting past Oni. I've passed Bonk (by 1 level) and Oni (by 2 levels). The only real motivation I've got now is to finish up 3rd job and to get 5 more magic attack every level.

Re: MapleStory

Also add a few levels under your belt for 4th job.

Wow. I still find it a waste since at 7x you get mist anyways -_-

Might as well say, lets put 0 into fire arrow because you get comp, which is slightly stronger. Or say, lets just skip lightning because there's Ice Strike 3rd job.

Fire Arrow is 100% replaced, but thunderbolt is not. Ice Strike is stronger, but it's a different element. Thunderbolt is the strongest AoE lightning based skill. Fire Arrow, on the other hand is outdamaged by Comp in all instances in which Fire Arrow would be used.

That said, Poison Brace is gotten at about level 50, while Fire Arrow and Thunderbolt are both maxed EARLY in 2nd job. Poison Brace is made obsolete within about 15-20 levels of maxing it, while Fire arrow takes nearly 100 levels on an ideal build. Thunderbolt is never completely obsolete.

And med is obsolete too. And MP eater only saves money (same as med), so it can be skipped if you want too.

Re: MapleStory

Yes, i guess thunderbolt is irreplaceable, but my point was that some skills should be used, even if they were replaced.
