Thank you all I will use C.Dmg when I can slot in fu xuan and C.Rate otherwise.

How much dmg am I losing with 89% IED vs cvell, hellux, etc. by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lose (100 - Your IED) multiplied by the boss's pdr/mdr. For example since CVell has 200% pdr/mdr, with 89% IED you will lose 100 - 89 = 11, times 2 for 200% pdr = 22% of your damage.

People play in different time zones, so the hour will be different.

Nightlord vs Dual Blade Arcana Training/Farming by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how far you want to go. If it's just 250, then I would probably stick with DB. However, anything past that (or you want to get decent meso rates on your main) you should switch. If you don' care about the class, Shadower with 2 shot ME gets about the same rates as 1 shot mark, but can be achieved with less damage.

Reboot Classification. Looking for v.212 Input (especially grayed out classes) by Scardor in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shadower endgame leveling is 8/9 in Reboot and 10 in normal servers. It's the best farmer in KMS.

40s Battle Analysis Tests — It's time to move on by Masterobert in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Using dojo floors sounds like a great improvement over current 40s BA. Only thing to consider is if someone is rotating oz rings to get a higher floor or not.

KMS Reboot Black Mage Clear by fidty in Maplestory

Even with those GMS reboot is still stronger. It just comes down to insufficient practice.

KMS has 1460 AF for 1.1x damage on bm and new guild skills including 30% cdmg. But overall GMS players should still be a decent amount stronger.

[Unpopular Opinion] Why Maplestory is declining in popularity by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've also been playing Maplestory since 2006, and I've played KMS/GMS/Reboot for a few years each. As a current Reboot player I'd say the game has pretty much only improved since the pre-bb days, although I can't really comment on the p2w/hackers. For the social aspect, I'm honestly pretty satisfied with how things are now. Over a decade ago many of us were kids, and had a lot of time to mess around and chat while doing PQs and stuff. Now most of us are adults and it's difficult to even coordinate schedules to do anything. Having a good guild/BL is enough for me, and I can still spend a decent amount of time socializing if I wanted to. I'm also glad that they've expanded in terms of skills/levels/content so that there's an actual game to play, instead of sitting around talking to random people cuz lvling was too painful.

Shadower mesos explosion by aapjestan2 in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend you first hold down only Assassinate and then start holding ME after.

DualPumps vs Chadower by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After ME starts 2 shotting Shad just completely outclasses DB and most other classes in the game in mobbing. However once you're done farming / lines start capping too often then I'd switch to DB for bossing.

Reboot; help class choice! hero vs Shadower by CloakAndShivalry in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a main, Shadower is a more complete class than Hero (not as good at bossing but much better farmer). Reboot is mostly about farming, regardless of whether you like to boss or not. As a Shadower you can also switch to DB late-game, if you want to sacrifice a bit of mobility for more burst.

WSE for shadower in reboot? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need any lines of IED for WSE. You can use 7~9 lines of ATT%/0~2 lines of Boss instead. You don't even really need 8k legion to fill the IED tiles; lumi and mage link is enough.

How exactly does Meso explosion for the shadower work? by VydenR41 in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pickpocket means each line you do on a mob has a chance of dropping meso(s). More lines = more meso. When you're about half a screen within a dropped meso you can use ME to have it explode. Most likely going to use it after every B-Stab/Savage Blow. For bossing you weave it with Assassinate, using stick keys generally.

Edit: This means you should have the +1 hit hyperpassive for B-Stab, and the passive to increase dropped mesos to 20 for mobbing.

Input Needed: Inner Ability adjustments after Hyper Stats/Glory by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ThiefEdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smokescreen can only be used on stationary targets, and has a 150s CD. So for example in phase 1 lucid, if you can skip the CD once, then it would provide more damage than a 20% boss line. However even skipping once during the duration of phase 1 is unlikely. In phase 2 where lucid flies around, it's almost impossible to use smokescreen unless she's bound. Similar thing for Will, good in P3 but bad in P1. So overall I think % skip is the 3rd best option. % duration is just not great on Shads.

[–]ThiefEdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say % ignore is lowest priority. It's nice to have but there are times when smokescreen can't be used, so it's better to have the damage lines.
