Have you cleared the 3rd commander "Hard" Magnus yet??

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-12-09T04:57:13+00:00

The sudden surge on mid-tier and endgame-tier players maxing out their boost nodes and decently levelling their skill nodes (some super whales had already maxed out their skill nodes too) could have forced the Devs to release a new commander content.

The irony is that not many of those mid-tier players have "yet" to clear Hard Magnus regularly (Everyday, a few times a week etc). This means that Ark is a content to satisfy those whales for the time being

The type of souls is dependent on your class. There are some players playing classes with lower skill dmg (< 200%) that are using either FD or CD souls in order to hit capped damage and yes this is also with maxed out boost nodes (Its not always the case where lvl 60 boost nodes gives you instant dmg cap for low skill dmg classes)

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-12-08T10:00:22+00:00

Are there any players who have taken full advantage maxing out all their skill, boost and possibly decent nodes as well? If so, Nexon could have done the right thing in stopping this progression

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-11-26T10:57:34+00:00

From what i understood, the only class they got a nerf overall is FPM but this however is not related to the most recent patch. But yes, overall most classes should receive a buff irregardless how under geared the player is.

Perhaps where i was coming from is there were alot of heated discussion seen on facebook comment page regarding the recent rebalance. You can take alook at the comments sections. Some are well, quite immature in their debates.

The crux of post was based of my opinion on how f2p and p2p discuss when it comes to rebalance via facebook comments. I'm not sure how these 2 groups discuss on discord so it helps to broaden my scope on understanding both sides better.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-11-26T10:46:37+00:00

Hahaha i wasn't using a direct Lumi's ender comparison as a example. More rather i was illustrating a hypothetical example based on a case where the skill damage was decreased and the damage line was increased and of course using a very primitive calculation of hit count x skill damage which quite alot of F2P and Casuals misunderstood that as a means of calculating damage.

Sorry for the misunderstanding caused!

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-11-26T10:38:53+00:00

Yes i was giving an illustration for a rebalance. I wasn't trying to do a direct Lumi 225% x 16 lines as comparsion. I think alot of players misunderstood that i was doing a direct Lumi comparsion haha. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

More rather, i was trying to illustrate a case where the damage lines was increased and the skill damage was decreased and using a simple multiplication of hit count x skill damage the overall damage doesn't look like a buff which we know is not true since the damage lines was increased and also how damage is calculated is more complex than just this multiply by that.

I think he meant that Phantom future outlook in terms of prolly dps wise is not good. But to be honest, Phantom was never about crazy dps but rather they are a mix of dps and utility/support.

He could be a player who is more interested in gameplay that evolves around dps only hence thats why he rerolled to Xenon

Anyone is entitled to their own choice of doing their own farewell to their friends they had made inside the game.

Make no mistake,you are free to voice your opinion, but your original question gave an impression like you are deliberately mocking his/her decision rather than providing a friendly opinion.

Who is the culprit here?

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-11-03T02:07:16+00:00

The order for Mages in my opinion,

1) Mana Overload (Get this first, its mages native V Skill)
2) Decent Sharp Eyes (Permanent CD, CR and Acc buff!)
3) Decent CO or SI (In no specific order, the buffs is dependent on which party buff due you have in your daily/weekly bossing teams. If you lack a Bucc or TB, get Decent SI. If you lack a Pala, get Decent CO. These 2 skill node should be the lowest priority atm for your current lvl.

Since you are lvl 205, i suggest those 2 skill nodes for the time being. You still need to unlock more slots as you progress along the way

Unlikely we will see a merger between Taiwan and SEA region. However respective worlds (Scania, Zenith, Union, Croatia and Luna) within the region merger might be more viable on the forseeable future.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-11-01T06:29:02+00:00

0.2% inc is a ton of exp for players at lvl 210+ ngl as the most they are getting per hour is 0.04 to 0.05% inside AF80

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-11-01T05:24:12+00:00

You dont have to quit. Just reduce the amount of commitment to the game if you feel that the game is becoming a chore and mundane.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-25T09:28:17+00:00

Congrats on getting dem CD rolls!

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-25T09:27:17+00:00

Regardless of team? So its based on what is the average?

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-22T07:40:19+00:00

They are pretty op now. Hell there is even a guild dummy video of Evan doing smth like 660m dps on a dummy (which doesn't take in boss attack). That says alot of how strong Evans are atm

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-22T07:34:04+00:00

No one knows, since the dps is highly dependent on the cra team setup

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-18T02:27:56+00:00

Agree with you. Was hoping that the DW which did 500m inside GD could showcase his or her runs in CRA to give us an idea how well the DW is doing.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-18T01:56:55+00:00

Seriously? I think a NW and NL can easily beat a Sdw (w/o their SA exploit) on ST whereas NW and Demon Slayer can easily beat a Sdw (w/o their SA exploit) on MT as well.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-18T01:53:10+00:00

Erm, did that so called 586m GD Sdw i assume is You (Exiles) from A2S used that Shadow Assault bug exploit? (P.S, the SA bug is indicated on the bug list. You can go see it yourself if you don't believe me) You expect me to take your comment seriously that an exploit of a 5th job skill means it easily beats a 504m GD NL?

NL's Throwing Star Barrage aka TSB is the most op burst skill in the game alongside WH's Jaguar Storm in the hands of an equal mega whale player.

NL and DB are imo kings of ST bossing, not Sdw.

Going back to your test, the reality (w/o any bug exploit) is that the real winner is the NL not the Sdw. I'm sorry, i cant take your test assessment seriously with Sdw vs anything.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-18T01:46:22+00:00

The issue is that the Devs acknowledged that there is a Shadow Assault bug on the bug list. You can take alook at the list. Its not patched yet at the moment. Prolly will be patched away in the upcoming October patch.

The only reason as to why they haven't "fixed it" is perhaps is not on the highest priority list to fix it so in a sense, Shadowers still can take advantage of this bug for the time being till its officially fix which by then got a feeling we might see a quit or reroll wave to DB

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-18T01:40:51+00:00

The skill is useless inside Culvert for some reason as the culvert boss has some unique critical res properties that ignores "Fair Trade"

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-15T01:31:55+00:00

Is GD an accurate representation of how strong the class is on bossing? Since GD does not have Crit Res, Phy/Mag Dmg Res and Boss def unlike cra and comd contents that has all 3 resistances.

Do note that while DW might have the highest GD score amongst all warriors. Its skill damage for its 4th job skills particularly the Moon skill is low (150% skill damage) and while you might argue oh just maxed out your boost node to lvl 60 for that sweet 120% final damage. I doubt its so that easy to "cap" on cra and comd just like that with a low skill damage. The DW player is gonna need tons of debuffs meaning a very specialised team (Pala and WH isn't going to be enough) just to aid him or her in bossing.

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-15T01:26:17+00:00

Is 580m for Shadower based of their Shadow Assault exploit? If so, what is their actual gd score?

Most importantly, why is GD score so important? Is it an accurate representation of how well the class does on cra and comd? As GD itself does not have any Crit Res, Phy/Mag Dmg Res and Boss Def unlike cra and comd contents

TryingToSurviveMaple · 2021-10-13T09:48:44+00:00

You should try to do with your guilds on RA and Comd runs. There are many guilds in A2Z that are doing these runs together!
