Dusk Wrote:sigh- I used Inferno for damage for the first few levels at Gobies, because maxed Inferno did more damage than my level 1 Arrow Rain, haha.
Still trained almost as fast. It doesn't matter how fast you kill the individual Gobies, really. Crusaders one hit them with Coma and don't receive significantly higher exp rates than archers. I have seen a certain Basiler advocate a Flamethrower build for Outlaws to train at Gobies, even though Flamethrower gets a full half damage penalty from Gobies as opposed to Inferno's 25%.
My average resistant Inferno damage is 71% of what my Arrow Rain damage is. I don't think you can call a 29% decrease in killing speed "almost as fast." That is at least one more attack needed to kill.
Everyone that was playing around the time when gobies were the best things knows that Crusaders got more EXP per hour than any other class. I had both a Ranger and a Crusader at the time, and I know from first hand experience that this is true. How fast you kill the gobies is the ONLY thing that matters aside from opening the house before it can WDEF up, which won't be any problem if you are a Crusader capable of 1HKOing with Coma, or have Hawk. There was a reason that if you went into a Goby map before 4th job came out that the first person you would mostly likely see would be a Crusader at the top.
