Yes, the rule can't be enforced. Another reason to ask why it's still in place.

But if multiclienting is potentially economy-breaking, why didn't they disallow all forms of it instead? But doing that is apparently okay, if you use 2+ computers.

Yes, I heard that too, but... see post #9 in the thread I linked to. Maybe it's level multiplied by certain coeff, idk.

I tried to figure that out too, unsuccessfully. It seems that base matk formula is correct; what I couldn't figure out is exactly how does the game calculate "weapon damage". Seems that it's not a sum of all matk in weapon, rings and shards, but something more complex.…

Now, after obtaining second form of Myriad Rainbow, I'll probably stop telling clerics not to heal me after ST too :) BTW. My foxform combo (which I cast on every amp cooldown) includes consume spirit and leech (for non-venos: blue star + red circle). Helps build chi and recovers some mana, but causes my HP to jump between…

Actually the question is: what's better to have in gear? mag, matk or -chan? Maybe a mix? Why mix? Because base apparently includes mag*matk, so it might be more effective to add to both than to max one and disregard the other. E.g. you have 1 mag, 1 matk, and can increase either both by 1, or one of them by 2. In first…

PWI calc will calc your base damage for any set of equipment, but will spell damage grow linearly with base matk? Seems not.

That range can be small. For example, my base is 4858-4935 atm. With larger ranges it can be useful for choosing best gear for DDing at bosses. Understanding the structure of these formulas can be useful when choosing between, say, +mag and +matk gear.

Did more testing on same scorps, without weapon and rings, assuming: damage = reduction * mastery * (base+(eq_atk+lvl)*%)+const) reduction = 1-863/(863+85*40) mastery = 1.2 (level 10) base = 229 eq_atk = 0 lucky lv7: (1-863/(863+85*40))*1.2*(229+85*0.85+2716.1) = 2887; observed 2856; 1% diff venomous lv10:…

Ah, masteries. That's what I forgot. And in damage reduction formula I wasn't sure whose lvl it is: caster's or target's. Thank you.

There's also Holy Path genie skill. Edit: and Expel. Longer cooldown though.

That is a cleric's mistake. 7X cleric should be able to solo Farren. There's one more thing which can make tanking the AoE easy: Multiflavor Jiaozi. 2500hp in 10 seconds, 15 (I think) seconds cooldown. Somewhat difficult to find though. And, of course, there are also HP charms.

First of all, did you die because of AoE, or because you took aggro off BM? Farren's AoE is not that strong. It shouldn't 1hit even a full mag caster. If it does too much damage to you, buy a set of inexpensive pdef gear: 1star lv54 wristguards, for example, normally give 138 pdef, but watch AH for several days, and you'll…

When I run instances as a cleric, I DD (on regular mobs; on bosses, when I'm not the primary healer) whenever I have the opportunity, in addition to healing tank and DDs. How much does it cost me? Strangely enough, not much. I rarely burn more than 3 5kmp pots on a Gluttonix or Ofotis run, for example. That's less than…

Hello. Application copied to guild forums.

Don't heal the tank in the beginning of a fight with mobs. It's not like they're going to kill him in 2 seconds. Instead, as soon as tank FRs a mob, cyclone / plume shot. If the tank aggroed all mobs, cast a couple IHes on him and continue DDing: if he's focusing on one mob, cyclone / plume shot / wield thunder, if he's…

Gamma? No one wants to run it; people run either BHes or Frost with hyper exp. TT? Overfarmed during double drops + less demand for TT mats due to packs. So no one runs it either. Lunar? Useless drops in solo mode, 3m to enter squad mode, and those who wanted lunar gear got it from packs anyway. BHes? Pay 60k, kill 5…

I'm neither receiver nor transmi... er, giver: do not accept random squad invites while grinding. Allows me to pause or leave whenever I want for whatever reason; also allows me to grind however I want: either gather, say, 5 mobs at once or separate them, without having to explain anything to anyone. Being "dumb and noob"…

Second Wind with STR genie also works well. BTW, anyone tried expelling a tank (when he misses a cancel several times in a row) at polearm? How well does it work?

When I'm using Soul Transfusion at Dimentora or, say, amp Myriadtail Wyvern, I too tell the cleric: don't bother healing me. Not because I'm ungrateful, and not because I don't know how to play a cleric -- but because I understand that cleric might be busy enough already.

What do people do when they see you're healing tank only? Reduce their damage output. Squad slows down, and you probably don't save much: you have to heal tank more. If you want to save pots, refrain from attacking, not healing.

It seems that there are both squad (20 drops from nivastok-like mobs) and solo mode (3 different types of mobs) quests. You need 1 essence to open solo mode, even if you have someone else in squad. BTW, after completing first solo mode quest you can get several others. Don't try to teleport to Grayhaired Man, he's not…

Thanks a lot for info. Ran it today. It seems that he resets aggro on green AoE.

Grinding shouldn't be a problem. It is possible to create "kill that (stand-alone) mob" macros for all the classes I played. Venomancer: ironwood - venomous - pet heal - venomous - pet heal; repeat. Add more attacks as you get them. Wizard: make several macros for different mobs. For example, metal mobs are weak against…

Can anyone please provide more detailed info on bosses? What to expect: AoEs, debuffs, self-buffs, random aggro, etc? I'm especially interested in Stone Brain.

Someone once suggested pulling Soul Hunter to West Archo. And I've seen Sword Tamer pulled on a la-a-arge group of people preparing (but not yet ready) to attack him.

Oh, so it's short range? Thought it covers entire platform. Thank you.

Solo mode 1-1 Drum is easy. I was able to solo him with a golem @lv65 AFAIR, and I'm not even pure mag. Arcane veno with herc and enough +pdef in gear might be able to solo 1-1 squad mode Drum by staying in (maxed) fox form, spamming pots, jiaozi and/or apoth, and casting leech as often as possible -- that's how I handle…

Troll thread turned into something useful, that's unusual. Thank you for info.
