With Dimentora, you could try meleeing at his back. His AoE is directional. The Barb should have turned him away from the rest of the squad so the AoE only hits him. However, you might still get hit since you have to be so close to him. Also, you might want to be alert if/when he does his 007 so you can stop attacking and…

The Barb cab steal aggro with one ream most times. The DD pet will out aggro the Herc. It's just a matter of how long it takes. Herc is only using one skill for aggro while the DD pet has 4. It's no contest.

Wrong. So wrong. Half the Veno's skill tree is physical damage and melee to boot. Ever hear of Fox Venos? In fact, Venos are the only class to use both their physical and magical attack stats. Every other class uses one or the other, i.e. Archers' Lightning skills are based off their physical damage stat and Clerics' Plume…

I agree with this point to a certain extent. It works well in the lower TTs since the mats are similarly priced. Sell that War Drum and you can buy a Tough Shard for about the same price and etc. However, this starts to fall apart in the higher level TTs. You start getting mats worth over 1 million. If a DD needs an…

Brigid is right. You get the Level 8 maunfactoring quests at level 99. I, personally, have level 8 Blacksmith and I know a few people who have level 8 Tailor and Craftsman. Now's the best time to level them up since mats are on sale.

It's called a Lost Chest. Can spawn anywhere in the map, i.e. on the ground, underwater, in trees, rocks, etc. High chance to get an apoc page but can also get an OHT mat. There's one in each of the OHT maps. Repawns every 3 hours.

That's almost true. I prefer not to use Wallop or Stunning since they drain chi quite fast. A combo of Mist, Leech, and Demon spark maximizes my damage in Fox Form. I've hit 15k-20k in Fox as a Arcane wearer.

Please. Any similarities to hitler were purely coincidental. I based that last paragraph off of what I've seen tweakz post over the last year. Most of his posts have been to call ideas wrong/stupid and tell the OP what he should be doing instead. Anyways, I'm done with this thread. No point getting into an argument with…

I'm not debating the merits of citrines versus garnets. I'm just stating a fact. Not everyone makes pdef a priority. I've seen people who focus on HP/Vit, others who focus on Magic/Magic attack, and yet others who choose to maximize channeling. Hell, I've seen people who focus on crit rate. I guarantee that those who don't…

First, not everyone shards with garnets. Some choose to go with citrines. Second, not everyone can afford high level shards to put in their armor. That build you posted has 4285 pdef in human form. Most of that is from the shards. With citrines or lower level shards, you'd have about 2k-3k like I said. Just because you…

Doubtful that the average veno at level 90 has 5k+ pdef unless they're decked out in the anni pack gear. Most have 2k-3k phys def and when you apply the Sage/Demon Fox Form calculations, the difference becomes about 900 at the upper end. So I was a little off, but the damage reduction is still 3% and my point still stands.…

I'm not defending PWI. Just throwing a theory out there. The Irridescence and Gourd are probably more expensive because of the 3.2/6.2 speed. Before the sale, I knew of one Dragonfly on HT. The default speed of the Dragonfly is 2.5/4.5. So they maxed it out. My guess is the extra 10g is to take into account the wind…

I think they're counting on the fact that the Dragonfly is new and has never been in the CS to make-up for the speed difference. Whereas the other 2 have been around and are commonplace.

The OP, like a lot of us, is an Arcane Veno. Most arcanes don't spend a lot of time in Fox Form. I have been spending more time fighting in Fox Form, but even so, Level 3 Fox Form/Demon Fox Form already gives a 120% phys def increase. For an average arcane, the extra 30% Sage grants amounts to 200 extra phys def which…

All other classes get a 25% def increase for Sage spark and an attack rate increase/channeling decrease for Demon spark. Venos don't get either. Since we're the only class that can use both our magical attack stat and physical attack stat, we get a damage increase to both. 900% magical and 500% physical for Sage. 700%…

No, venos get the 20% MP and purify as well. It's a typo. The Veno Sparks had the same thing. Originally the Veno Spark descriptions said they recover HP, but they've always recovered MP. They fixed it a while back but I guess they didn't catch it when they made the new classes.

Lenn, I am a vit build. I did not say anything about vit builds being worse or better than any other. I'm saying that giving a vit build veno a sword with hp/phys def as bonuses is a waste since you have all your other equipment, shards, refines, and the added extra vit focused on those exact stats. Your weapon should be…

tweakz, what happened to the channeling beat all argument? Anyways, I'm a vit build so I don't need the vit/hp and 200 phys def doesn't make much of a difference one way or the other. Rather have the channeling, magic atk, and crit of the other magic swords. The whole point of going vit arcane is to give up some magic…

What I don't get is why you're looking for HP/Vit and phys def on a weapon. You have all your armor's stats plus sockets to deal with those stats. Besides your rings, there's not many other places to get extra attack, physical or magical. It's like sharding your weapon with citrine shards. I mean you could and if that's…

Get a bow and range those mobs first. If they don't cast Bramble, finish them off normally when they get close. If they do, Puncture and run til they die.

DoT's don't wake up a sleeping mob. Only direct damage will wake it up. I've slept a mob and had a psychic cast Torrent on it and it didn't wake up.

Look like you've got most of the bosses covered. I will say that I've solo healed 2-1 Wurlord with no channeling gear. However, my Herc has also died from 2-1 Wurlord when it was being duo healed. So, 2-1 Wurlord is do-able, but very, very iffy. For 3-2 and 3-3, most of those bosses have sleep AoEs and close range physical…

Isn't this the exact opposite arguement of why you think Sage Fox Form is better than Demon Fox Form? Here you're prioritizing speed over Hp/Def. Whereas when it came down to Fox Form you went the other way. Regardless, I have all the speed I need from Demon Fox Form. I prioritize HP/Def and Magic/Magic Attack. So it…

The Veno can't be up the chain or they'll be too far to heal the Herc or the Herc may just decide to unsummon. Plus, the adds are ranged so the only way for the Veno to lose aggro is if someone is healing her.

Being 10m means I'm between the ranged classes and the melee classes. So yes, if things go wrong and the boss goes raging after a DD, I'm still safe and I'm in a more flexible position. Since I'm a caster Veno, my nukes do far more damage than my Fox skills and give comparable chi. So, the less time I'm in Fox mode the…

Refer to my last post as to why not everyone chooses to get 6% channeling gear. Also, out of the 6 slots you have to add channeling, most use Sky Demon's/TT90 Gold necklace for the 5% HP so there's one slot down. Weapon and sleeves are simple and I have those myself. Rings with just 6% are easy to get, but like I said I am…

Sometimes it's not about cost. Most of the -6% gear only comes with that stat. I, for one, would rather get something cheaper that adds to magic attack/vit/hp/magic then sacrifice those extra stats just for a little more channeling. Before I got my TT99 magic sword and sleeves, I ran around with 0 channeling gear. I had no…

Not everyone has 33% channeling. Realistically, most have 10-20%. The scenario you have there is the max amount of times someone could cast Venomous. That doesn't mean they cast it that many times. Most won't cast it that many times. They either opt for more damaging spells or spend time doing other things(i.e. healing…

You forgot to factor in the 10 chi Crush Vigor generates independent of the chance to gain a spark. Also, by your own logic in a past post, Master Li's only gives 35 chi since you lose out on the chi you would've gotten had you used an attack spell instead. To cast Venomous 15-20 times a minute you would have to cast one…

Wrong. Crush Vigor is a curse and has the same range as Amp. Fox Form has a 6 second cooldown. Casting CV and Amp fits perfectly in that 6 seconds. So you can immediately switch back to human form to nuke and frequently with one spark more than you went in with. True, Lending Hand and Crush Vigor are level 99 skills, but I…
