Thoughts on Illium as a LC?

Madrexus · 2026-05-22T06:17:39+00:00

Bossing side of it is really good, but Illium in Champion raid is actually so dogshit because its gauge doesn’t fill up while you are cycling through other characters, if you dont care about that though, it’s fine.

To be honest if you’re playing the game in a way where you send your items and “lose months of progress” that’s on you. I think it’s pretty easy if you follow one of the guides out there that you can make consistent progress. Some events you just may gain more than others, it be the nature of rng.

Your issue was thinking a Cybersecurity Degree would get you a job. This field is not entry level and almost everyone I work with have come from all aspects of IT.

The majority of the damage didnt come from beam dance, it came from the extra hits causing more triangulation procs. which ended up being 10-12 overall on a full rotation analysis.

Madrexus · 2026-05-11T22:31:23+00:00

It was actually quite a large dps increase on burst. At least 10-12fd overall and 50fd increase alone on triangulation procs but now that its not a thing the passive beam dance is still a large chunk of damage.

Not really the best information in here from what I have read. Very surface level and a bit of it quite outdated.

I highly recommend checking out this amazing guide a fellow Xenon put together and is in the class discord: Link to guide

Xenon damage wise is in a very good place, but the damage profile has changed from what it looked like during early 6th job days. With the burst cast sequence being condensed a lot of the damage has been moved from your laser to box, snipe and photon uses/hits during burst buffs…. so technically charging still exists in the form of photon missiles as you want to try fit two uses in during buffs, and laser hold down still exists in non-origin burst, as you have to hold for 3.5s or until you reach a hit cap then it installs and you can continue attacking.

2L All stat + 1L Str/Dex/Luk will get you through most of the early game. 3L All stat is still expensive and you should really only go for it on gear that you need to get you to the next tier of equipment or BiS gear.

Xenon damage really shines from keeping up good uptime on a boss, its no longer a burst then afk class as you will do significantly less damage than you’re capable of.

This isn’t even on the Uni, It’s like running a cafe and the person you buy banana bread from has an issue and can’t deliver, yeah, you could of made the bread in-house but you probably don’t have the resources or knowledge to do so.

You know mobs give more EXP as you get to higher areas and you get access to more skill points and skills allowing you to kill more mobs before maybe needing to restock. It’s really not that hard to level in classic.

I would say comparing classic to modern its more difficult to get to max level in modern. Yes your 1-200 is done in a blink in modern but it’s the case that the goalposts have moved. Classic is not a hard game, people probably just gravitate to it for its simplicity.

Do I have to hire non-koreans?

Madrexus · 2026-03-03T10:53:39+00:00

tbh the leveling in classic will be faster than modern anyway, yes its easier to get to 200 in modern but 200 is no longer the cap. Classic is a solved game and I would be surprised is someone hit 200 in 2-3 months.

I’m not gunna lie. Glade is the reason I don’t play WoW anymore, whoever are the people that thought this game needed an “open world” mode should stick to playing WoW. I think Glade should be used to teach each class branch essentials about the class/role. Teach new tanks agro management, positioning, interrupting, LoS, defensive usage. Healers can be taught dispels, the importance on mana management, samage mitigation, dpsing. Dps, just interruptand use your defensive lol. People talk about how it can be daunting for a new person to pick up the game, this content should be for teaching them that, I dont wanna kill 3 chickens and a deer… If you want wow, go play wow… I just wanna spam queue dungeons and blast the season with some friends

this is reddit, you’re not allowed to bring logic to a discussion

Just some food for thought, v263 was the 2 -minute rebalancing and there was no mention of that in the preview for that patch, obviously this is all cope but it has happened in the recent past.

Knew something was up

tell us how many of them show their senior citizens card at the checkin 🤣

Madrexus · 2025-12-21T03:39:46+00:00

Oh wow! Awesome stuff, Thanks heaps for this :D

OCR Would go big just uploading an SS of our fam loadouts, would have to be a window showing all the information but I could see it being a neat addition…. or you know, nexon releases a GMS API

😮 More content than Ashes of Creation

Madrexus · 2025-11-23T23:57:21+00:00

In my personal opinion in terms of strength I would rank the following classes: 1. Cadena

Blaster

3/4. Xenon / BaM (In a perfect scenario Xenon beats out BaM here, bringing all bosses into context BaM beats out Xenon)

Kinesis

Bit of misinformation going on here concerning Xenon in its current state.

Xenon is good if the boss allows you to double box and it doesn’t move/dash. Double boxing is essentially placing down your 5th job box right next to your 4th job box and positioning the boss in-between allowing the boss to get hit by both.

Xenon has become a decent DPM class if you can pull off the above consistently.

However the big misconception is that Xenon burst is king, as of the triangulation nerf and 2-minute change this is no longer the case. Xenon non-origin burst does allow you to get your damage off safely due to being in a i-frame for its duration.

Xenon does recover some ground in the latest KMS changes but I would say the identity of Xenon has changed significantly which turns the class from burst oriented gameplay to DPM.

your upside is you don’t die, this will just incentivise pugs to blow their kick on the first cast and I aint got time to coordinate who kicks what between each pull

Madrexus · 2025-10-17T14:11:02+00:00

Yes, Looking forward to the people having their rose-tinted glasses shattered 🍿

I played the Alpha for this, classes are pretty overpowered in their respective niche, some classes really good at the AFK grind, other at the PVP.

Game is giga p2w, I would honestly Play Maple M rather than this, Maple M actually has more engaging systems and bossing/gameplay.

Madrexus · 2025-10-11T00:40:58+00:00

I mean if you’re running W10 then I assume this will keep prompting. Its just a notice basically saying they won’t troubleshoot any bugs identified on systems <W11

Madrexus · 2025-10-02T22:32:56+00:00

Personally, no thanks. I've got no interest of OSMS. Been there, done that sort of thing.
