Spadow Wrote:The Black Mage was seen in the tutorial of Luminous, they never promised they would release the Black Mage as a boss monster.
And the Black Mage was sealed before but he has been resurrected as of lately. With Grandis World, there are a lot of unknown names that sound very interesting and I'm sure MapleStory will continue with those unknown names in big updates.

Endgame Wrote:They never outright said it, but they kept on saying things that suggested that the Black Mage would be in Tempest.

Diary entry that first showed Luminous: The great story’s ending will be revealed with the light.

Diary entry that gave the release date for Tempest: In one week, the hot weather of summer will begin.

However, in July, a terrible tempest is expected to arrive!
After the Tempest on July 5, Maple World’s 2012 summer’s bright light will continue to shine with the evil darkness defeated once again.

For now, Maple weather center.

If you are assuming an F/P capable of reaching non-crit 10mil hits on meggido flame (700% per hit) AND the DoTs are 700% as well, even if it isn't affect by some of your passives (Someone mentioned something like that? I'm not too sure, amp maybe?) then I don't see why something like 7-8mil~ per tick isn't possible? In any case, it is a far cry from that 90-150mil you listed, because you are totally downplaying the DoT in that case.

IImaplers Wrote:With MF's 700% DoT, and a maxed range of 999,999, the most DoT you can get is ~7 mil each tick. But the question is, what range does it take for MF's non-DOT attack to reach cap damage each hit? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's considerably less than 999,999 - maybe around 700k-ish, with 100% bossing+ or 100% ignore def. With a 700k range, MF's DoT is about 4.9 mil each tick. So you're kind of correct that I underestimated MF's DoT, but you've overestimated it to 10mil each hit.

xallista Wrote:That amounts to 206,999,994 damage per 90secs or 2,299,999 damage per second, or 2.3 capped hits per sec. With the max range scenario, that amount reaches 2,999,998~ per sec, or about 3~ capped hits per sec.
Compared to Lightning Sphere, which maxes out at 90mil per 90 sec, or 1mil per sec, which is 1 capped hit per sec. Lets not forget that during that 9~ secs you spend on the skill, you won't have any additional dps due to channeling. It probably wins out at mob bosses like Empress I suppose.

On another note, does ignore pdr affect DoTs as well?

Endgame Wrote:It's a staff. She shoots lasers from it.

But then again, this IS Maple Story, and I do not believe there is a Thief class that shoots lasers yet. So perhaps we're overdue one.....

Warriors have Mihile, Magicians have Luminous, Bowmen have..... no one, yet. (Third Adventurer Archer?) And Pirates have everyone except Corsair.

xallista Wrote:Except weapon cancel, right (in terms of damage dealt. not range)? At least my scar solos with my evan/mercedes shows this, unless the dot was cast before 1/1 goes up.
