    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    The only thing that would break this theory is if we get some actual numbers and find out that bosses have only the same accuracy as a regular mob.

    I do not have any numbers, but a month or two ago when our tank died in FB69, I spent some time running from one of its bosses (Polearm, if I remember properly), and he was missing me with something near half of his attacks. Of course, he was not a world boss or even a TT boss, and I had a decent evasion, but I think some bosses do not have overwhelming accuracy nor automatic hits.

    But who takes on a world boss with a tank thats relying on the boss to miss to survive, the red light for 'get the hell outta there' starts blinking for me.

    this isn't the type of boss i was referring to. namely, the level 150 bosses marked with a [?]. fb bosses all have a level, so their accuracy would be something like a mobs accuracy.

    Hah, first and only time I attacked Sword Tamer, I hit him with a pyro from the air and started gaining altitude as fast as I could. It looked like he was casting a spell but it was only a self-buff and I got out of his range XD

    That being said, none of the other WB's I've fought ever missed ;_;

    i thought sword tamer was the warsoul guy in archosaur. So i ran up to him and tried to talk to him.....i think he didnt want to talk b:surrender but a 7x veno in our faction solo'd him.

    LOLWUT

    How'd they manage to solo Sword Tamer?!

    EDIT: Also, the WB's shouldn't miss, from the standpoint of in-game continuity. They're giant mofos and would probably end up hitting you even if they tried to miss >.>

    To tell you the truth,, The game system hates Mages..
    The following is why:

    1. Hit points suck,, We can take only a few hits an make it out alive..
    2. Range of are spells suck( We have to be close to the monster to even hit it. Which puts us in the monster range.)
    3. Then when you are fighting a monster it always happens to me that one or two just appears behind me and starts attacking.. Your died like always..
    4. You don't get your push back spell until lvl 39 so your screwed on that at the lower lvls when you really need it..
    5. Our spells take to long to fire off so we have to use are best spells at the begin of the battle only then use your gush and fire spell from that point on..

    6. You can't fight alone unless you don't mind being dead 3 or 4 time in a 4 hrs playing time.. thats around 15% of the next lvl you lost to death...


    I started playing with a group of friends at the same time, we wanted a good group to work with in big quest..

    Beastlord lvl 43 now
    Veno lvl 40 now
    Cleric lvl 38
    Mage lvl 31 this is me

    We all play about the same time frame we only play together when killing a game boss are big quest..

    the above players die but not even as many time that a mage die's


    In my view the game has the mage in an unfair point where you have to have others carry you through most of your mission.. If you don't have help you will die many times in your gaming...

    We do great damage one on one with most monster and will win against them its the lag of the game and mult monster appearing next or behind you that sucks very much...

    I will carry on playing the Mage until I get to a high lvl in the game but it still sucks how they treat the Mage class in the game...

    This is just my View of the Game..

    They need to do the following to make it a little Even in the game for the Mage..

    1. Cut are spell time down by half or give us a larger Range for are spell this would be the biggest change in the game for the mage and it would help keep most of us in the Mage class.. When I'm watching an Archer just fire away with his arrows sometimes three to four shots to my strongest spell.. Its just sick Plus they get the knock back spell early in the game..

    My Mage built is the following:
    Every lvl up I did the 4 in MP and 1 in Str.. I don't run out of MP in most battles unless I'm fighting one of the Big Quest boss..
    My Armor is the fire armor with + 415 on most everything

    2. Give us the knock back spell earlier in the game.. We have enough problem just trying to stay alive now..

    3. A little more hit points would be nice..

    Yeah all wizards suck at low lvs but trust me it is a lot easier at higher lvs
    at my lv you can tank 20 magic mobs ur lv with a cleric healing you and solo 10 of those mobs with no heal. its bc of ur skills that you get. just stick with it till about 60 then it gets a whole lot easier

    TT armour goes up to 99, weapons go up to 100.

    Archangel Robes/ornaments and Sinranbasho are the highest TT gear you can get.

    i said hh70, as in the armour, sucks. and it does. it's only good for slightly higher resist which can be overlooked by simply using 3*. hh80 gold, hh90 green, and hh99 gold is the only armour worth getting.
