Dusk Wrote:Very few people train on Kents in GMS. Even before CWK, Gobies > Kents for most classes (even Goby parties are rare, now, though, since CWK). At Red Kents there's an occasional Sniper or I/L, and at Blue Kents I've seen a few WKs and F/Ps, and I trained there on my Ranger with an Inferno build, but yeah, it's mostly empty. Hacker territory.

As for uses of cooling effect/ice splitter, it basically replaces fake shot as your "monster debilitator" and invisible shot as your "mob control". It fires off at point blank range which makes it more flexible than IS & you can fire the same number of burst fires between reusing it as you could fake shot. You'd basically use it in place of fake shot anywhere the monsters do not resist ice starting when it's at least level 21. (If you get it first, I recommend 25 before moving to octo though so it hits 6).
Having ice at a decent level won't make killing the first two newties worth it until you have a decent level of octopus (it's just that helpful), though. Also, unless you have friends that train with you, you probably won't find a party at the kinds of places that take advantage of the skill before a level that is high enough to have both 25+ ice and 21+ octopus. We're talking things like aqua road dungeon, ludi clocktower, and riprey mobs you've probably never ever even thought about before. Some of these have benefits other than just exp, like rarer skill book drops and nice scroll drops, but not too many people care about those these days. xD
Once gms gets the latest skill updates that kms currently has, its range will meet that of burst fire's which will make it a much more significant contender for maxing vs octopus in the early 80s. (It really does help a lot).
