Solo arcane veno

That is a lot of vit. You must have around 70-80 already, right? I'd stop putting any in for quite a while.

With that much taken out of your mag, I'm not sure if you could solo TT1-1 single mode when you get to it. Your pet heal is going to be a lot weaker than it could be, but it's not as much of a difference as some people might think. Dunno.

I capped my vit at 53 when I was running the vit-arcane path. If you're a serious veno, it's a nice number that fits perfectly in a reset note when you want to adjust things closer to endgame (pure mag or HA/AA). If it's an alt, it'll give you a nice bit of free hp without gimping your magic attack too terribly.

As for your plans to solo dungeons, specifically TT: I wouldn't recommend this route if you're in it for the cash, especially if you aren't planning on getting a herc. The bosses that will be open to you really wouldn't be worth the time/cost of farming them.

Exactly when you'll be able to solo bosses is more dependent on your magic attack and -channel speed than the level of your pet. (Pet level does have some influence, but as long as your pet isn't a 1-shot, you have a chance.) Solo mode is easier and faster, but runs don't always cover the cost of subs, let alone pots/repairs/genie food/time spent. Sometimes you can get lucky, but more often than not, you won't be making much profit quickly. That said, if you really want to run TT for money, you'll have to do it in squad mode.

To be honest, with the time:profit ratio, you're better off grinding out in the world. At your level, I'd look at getting a good flying pet and farming fruit from flying mobs and/or a good water pet and farming fungus from water mobs. You can also halt your level and start dumping xp into genies to raise up and sell. Also look into the DQ market and target specific items (pw database will help you there). You can also make your pet fight your battles while digging herbs.

But in all fairness, if you're raising a veno strictly to farm TT, your efforts are probably wasted, especially if you aren't planning on getting a herc.

My veno is 77 and vit is 20. I soloed 1-1 a while ago, but with full magic i can heal a lot. I'd be interested if you can even do 1-1 with your magic but 1-2 - no chance. I tried twice at level 74 and pet got killed twice. Am going to try again now at level 76. I posted another thread because i enjoyed soloing so much as full arcane with herc

This.

On topic: I have 5 points in vit and I've done just fine so far.

the ideea is heal pet is based on base mag and in TT for example if the pet die no matter how much vit you got I doubt you can survive him until you rez pet, summon, heal him and put him to atack again. So far I can trololo every single mode TT I can enter at my lvl

But when you start considering things like AOEs, if a pet outlives the veno, it does you no good. Your pets won't fight while you're eating dirt.

If you plan on soloing 1-2/1-3 Drummer or Soul Banisher (squad mode), for example, in addition to a good magic attack, you'll need

- a decent pool of hp
- very good p.def
- a cleric at lower levels

So it boils down to where you want to spend your money. Vit is free hp leaving funding for better p.def gear/weapon/shards/refines all around. Considering the OP's veno is an alt, it may not be as well invested as someone's main.

And about surviving to revive/resummon your pet - depending on the boss and the level, it can be doable.

I am an arcane vveeenoo. =P

I am currently carrying a magic wep... um... i pump magic.... but my gear is all add hp... and my ornaments are HP and P.def.

Please Advise.

if you intend to solo anything, most or all times it will be without any other support (i.e.: cleric and bm buffs)

if you're rich and can refine the **** out of your gear to get to 5000+ HP at lv90-100+ i'd say go high mag and shard garnetts everywhere, along with wear the best pdef ornaments ingame (as far as their pdef and vit bonuses) and refine the pdef ornaments as well (as it adds even more phys def). this silly junk i see any given day i login the game of people running around in arcanes with mag res ornaments and citrine shards is just that.... absolutely silly.

if you're not rich and cant refine the **** out of your gear to get to 5000+ HP at the high levels, you'd be best to stick with high vit and shard garnetts everywhere, again wearing the best pdef ornaments you can get, and refine those ornaments at least a little bit... maybe even consider going sage for 100% chance leech, more pdef from foxform, able to purify yourself every minute from just your skilltree (sage summer sprint) and more consistent higher damage (especially considering you're considering staying AA.. your critrate'll be low anyway.. so IMO better to add damage everytime rather than a improve a slight bit on a crappy low critrate: junk + a little = junk lol)

if you run around trying to solo anything with 2k HP and **** for pdef you will die everytime. there's phys atk aoe bosses in quite a few of the HH instances, and with 2k hp and citrine shards you'll die no matter what you do.

Yeah, channel only seems to come on magic ornaments, and is basically the only reason for an arcane class to wear magic ornaments. (Actually.. it's possible for the bonus stats to have more pdef than a normal physical ornament too, but that's unusual.)
