    I'll take you on some more quick nirvana squads if you're online today rune, because even though your aps is not 5.0 you're also very useful in a few ways. Firstly, if you're the only blademaster in the squad you help the pure sin or pure attack shard archer builds with bell and secondly, you know how to time your heaven's flame. Last night we had a barb, my archer, a sin, and some non aps and finished the 1st boss in under 30 seconds because we all timed our debuffs and sparks. Also Ivy_ if you're online today you could come on some runs too.b:victory


    On the note of archers out DDing blademasters. Archers if they use TT 100 or Deicides and good gears can have around 37% crit rate and if you shard a set of event armor with attack shards your damage will be insane. Also, some 3.33 sage sins can out dps a 5.0 blademaster if they use the rank 6 daggers.

    Sage Sins can be beastly with their APS, especially if they have every available piece of -int they can get (including -0.05 interval on an OHT ring, of which I've heard of only two examples on every PWI server that exists, which would put them at 5 APS without demon spark).

    One of the reasons I was planning on going Demon until I farm up enough -interval to switch to Sage and still have 4 APS, actually.

    I'm half tempted to blow my coin on rank 6/sage quest daggers, but if I had that much to throw around for my Sin, I'd just save my coin for every other piece of -interval gear I could get and use rank 8/9/2nd recast Nirvy daggers instead.

    Ya thank you Ds on taking me on alot of runs during 2x

    You are right if there enough teamwork it can be better then any full 5.0 squads no one realizes it and still tries just 5.0s

    Heck i did a run today with 2 high DD and rest mag class and was over like the bosses weren't even there and i even started DCing half way threw.

    -int doesn't exist on any OHT rings, sage sins can only get 4.0 base.

    Huh? Since when was there -int on OHT rings? I was under the impression that it wasn't possible, else I'd've seen at least one somewhere. I'd like to see these examples... b:surrender

    EDIT: Didn't see that Traz had posted the same thing. Mea culpa.

    <---Was TOLD that the person I was talking to and someone he knows on Sanctuary both got it. Never saw proof, so for all I know he was lying out his ***. But that's where Feng heard it from.

    Supposedly the person that told me had 2 OHT rings -int, said the percentage was so low that it didn't show on pwdatabase.

    edit: was also told 1 of them sold for 80mil, whether here or on Sanc idk.

    Alright, I'ma half to call bull****, then. If a ring popped up with -int, it'd probably sell for as much as, or more than, a -int tome.

    To be fair, that's not the fault of the magic/non aps class as a whole. That's the fault of them hypering up the *** and neglecting their gear.

    And like Shadowfire said, you don't have to be 5.0 to be non squishy. I have a wizzie that has more hp than some BM's unbuffed (yeah, I ran into a few of those while doing a warsong), and as much pdef as them too.

    It be quite common to see Wizzys with comparable pdef to HA classes these days. I really didn't believe it till i made one myself and realized I could hit five figures with demon Stone Barrier.b:shocked

    Here's a suggestion.. start. your. own. squad.

    Step 1. Ask friends (if you fail to get a full squad, see step 2)

    Step 2. Ask faction (if you still fail to get a fulls quad, see step 3)

    Step 3. Ask world chat (by now you should have a full squad, since believe or not non APS users do Nirvana...)

    Step 4. ??????

    Step 5. Profit now don't make another pointless thread like this again :P

    and its not always they only take 5 aps, my bm had no probs getting to aps squads even when i was 3,33 with +3 claws, if u play good people will know and u get squads easier, keep em happy with a few HF and if somehow some1 still doesnt want u, follow dakus guide :)b:pleased

    I got rejected for being 4.0 instead of 5.0 one time... now I'm 5APS with Demon Bell/Hf/Bash/Roar/M marrow.... and +10 claws... with 7.8k HP unbuffed... only people that deny me are.... oh, wait... nobody's rejected me from a squad yet.

    But yes, follow Estoy's guide to follow my guide and soon you shall be swimming in the seas of fire that fill the Phoenix's room in Nirvana :D
