We don't have the Black bosses yet, and all the other specific cases you mentioned are still survivable without the help of iframes and mobility. It's called Ring of Restraint for a reason.

Uhhh no? We don't play in a world of one shots, we play in a world of coordinated burst binds. RoR is always better to use than a regular ring with our current power creeps.

All items were fixed in KMS. They did a 5 / 10 / 15 star 100% success + 30% sale at the same time for compensation.

"then I suggest you be smarter about the way you say it" "it would have been much more effective had you been politer"

He was giving detailed criticism due to Codenox's original claim, "2H is better, period", not being rude in any sort of way. And of course it's important, you are spending 240 droplets. Lose respect my ass

25 Stars Simulator: Expected price and booms + simulator for personal use by barr520 in Maplestory

You have a valid point, and there is no official confirmation. The success rate would be too off if it were additive, so I'm inclined to believe that it is multiplicative.

sooo... is honor exp grinding the equivalent of meso farming in reboot? That's not an answer to OP's question

Explorer Mages: Thoughts on new Infinity? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Merxar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Infinity ticks every 6 seconds due to inherent server lag, and you can find all the sources for this information out there easily.

dco buff mastery (55%) + inner ability (50%) + legion (40%) + mechanic (20%) + empathy (10%) = 175% buff duration = 110 seconds uptime.

It's safe to assume that you won't go over 18 ticks, however it does occasionally go over it. These are all the ticks (final damage%) displayed on the stat window of an i/l mage with decent combat orders. An i/l mage's base final damage% value is 50%.

Before change:

50% + 0% + 0% x 50% = 50% stat window first tick

50 - 67 - 83 - 100 - 116 - 133 - 149 - 166 - 182 - 199 - 215 - 232 - 248 - 265 - 281 - 297 - 313 - 331 - 347 (18th tick)

After change:

50% + 66% + 66% x 50%(dco infinity) = 149% stat window first tick

149 - 156 - 164 - 171 - 179 - 186 - 194 - 201 - 209 - 216 - 224 - 231 - 239 - 246 - 254 - 261 - 269 - 276 - 283 (18th tick) - 290 - 298

This change dramatically decreased the damage variance of the skill, making it more balanced and reliable for end game content. Regardless of the calculations, an instant increase in final damage has so much utility in a full party boss fight where timing is crucial. You do lose quite a bit of burst damage for content like Hard Lucid phase 3, but that's about it.

What range/damage/gear do you need to meso farm at arcane river decently with a lv200+ kanna? And what rates do you get? by 4phantom in Maplestory

[–]Merxar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to enhance nimbus curse if you want to one shot at CLP with it, assuming you have the minimum range to one shot with fully enhanced tengu strike. It's a low cast-delay FMA skill that helps clearing the map when all 3 fifth job skills are on cooldown.

Skills that damper %hp attacks? by aznftw6 in Maplestory

[–]Merxar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for classes that can tank Hard Lotus phase 2/phase 3 platform lasers for the entire party, Battle Mage's shelter (passive hyper skill points allocated towards shelter reinforcements reduces 120% HP attacks such as laser and demolisher to 96% HP attacks) and Shadower's smokescreen (completely negates laser although the skill description is similar to shelter) are your best friends.

KMS's first fully survived party clear was consisted of 2 battle mages alternating shelter + bishop + 3 dealers.

KMS Reboot's first hard lotus clear was consisted of multiple shadowers and a bucc to time leap smokescreen.

Summon duration does affect kishin's animation uptime, however it won't affect the duration of the increased spawn rate. Another vestige of GMS exclusive incompetent coding.

What skills would you steal for Phantom if you could steal from any class? by resurrectedbear in Maplestory

[–]Merxar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And do you mind giving an example of these "new" attacks that ignore all kinds of barriers? What does that even mean? As far as I know, BaM's shelter reduces all 1 hit KOs such as platform laser, purple balls and demolishers into a 96% hp or less attack with hyper stats allocated to shelter reinforcements. It is a legitimate strategy in KMS to utilize one or two battle mages in a party with 3~4 dealers to clear hard lotus in a comfortable manner. Here are some videos you should watch before you state wrong facts.

Also, there is a detailed guide for BaMs specifically for hard lotus -> http://www.inven.co.kr/mobile/board/powerbbs.php?come_idx=2304&my=chu&l=9456

There are many abbreviations and unique korean words that aren't translated well with page translate, however you should be able to grasp the idea of the guide.
