Infection Wrote:25 is even worse, because Castellan's Chamber quests don't take long to finish.. at least on my part.

Right now it's STILL only Dragonoid's Kings for my potfarm runs, and Floating Castle for grind runs. It doesn't get better until 27, which is when Behemoth unlocks.

Jormungandr Wrote:Outer wall is boring. Use up too much mp and need mp pots and monsters don't do anything except the Lotus. Jungle just sucks. Trees are ungrabbable and they leave fire when you hit them so you can't combo. Purg is decent. Stalkers suck though same with superarmor hunters/alex/rolling thing. Silver night is disgusting. Blimps and wisps are terrible. Just gotta grind it out to first spine.

Behemoth sucks.

Dusk Wrote:Magic Missle is terrible. My normal dusted attacks are 10x faster and do twice as much damage.

FelixTM Wrote:That's your downfall against Giant Octo. You're thinking far too simply. Magic Missle has speed (especially for Cloth wearers) and RANGE. Power is not everything. Strategy will serve you far better in this fight. Besides, you don't have to tell me about Dusting. I'm almost always Dusted 100% of the time, too. However, I realized there's times with better ways to do things. I would never deem any of my skills "useless."

In all the countless times I've fought Giant Octo, I have only seen him use his crazy spin attack four times. Four. Two of those was when I was duoing with someone (which included my first ever fight against him). You should never have to worry about him even attempting to use the spin if you know how to fight him. Spam MM from outside his poison/bleeding inducing range and attack him with Chain Florae and Swatter every chance you get. Cast a Rain over him for added quickness in victory (not necessary, though).

He should be one of the simplest bosses you face in DFO.

Dusk Wrote:I can't spam MM. I can seriously hit twice with my broom in the time it takes to use MM once. MM costs MP. It barely has any more range than my broom. MM is useless without a lot of cast speed bonuses.

FelixTM Wrote:Leather is really that bad? MM can attack outside the bleed/poison induce range. The broom can't unless you're using Dragon Fang, which can't be spammed. That's what matters to me.

I've never used Leather, so forgive me. I didn't realize the gap was so huge. I guess hearing this makes me happier thinking about the things Cloth has enabled me to do. lol Never getting hit by Giant Octo on King's solo? And it's a fast kill.

FelixTM Wrote:And apparently it makes you unable to MM spam, which is like one of my favorite tactics. You may argue its usefulness, but it's helped me tons. I'm talking like a machine gun, man. That crap is awesome. Keeps people away from you in PvP and keeps bosses in check.

Heck, I'll share a relevant story. Just a week or so ago, I was partying with a friend from MS who also has a Witch. She was 39. I was 40. After seeing what Cloth can do, she switched. "Wow you cast fast. I'm switching." Seriously. She was hooked, my friend. Hooked. People envy the Cast Speed because it is delicious.

Once you get to 40 and experience how slow Gravitas casts, you might be rethinking some things. Or you're forever going to rely on only your broom. While I'll be whipping out my spells and THEN attacking you with my broom.

I fight a lot like a Battle Mage (I even HAVE a Battle Mage--level 28), too. Always did. Always will. I've mentioned it in threads before. I had Fang, Uppercut and Blast since the beginning. Frequently use. But why be just a Battle Mage with a fancy air juggle, when you can be a Battle Mage (with a fancy air juggle) and an Elementalist (without the aiming)? That's right.
