Jormungandr Wrote:[COLOR="Teal"]My problem with there not being a 25% reduction to holy damage is just the fact that bishops are hogging ALL the wands instead of taking the cheaper secondary ones since they would all be the same to a bishop, therefore keeping the prices high. There are currently 1 or 2 lvl 130 Ice wands in Bello I believe, and I know a bishop has one. Seriously, why would a bishop need an ice or fire wand? What difference does it make if it was ice/fire or poison/lit for you? It's not like you're using it to it's true potential. The difference in money for those two is a lot so I'm not sure why you'd chose to waste money on a different colored wand that was probably more than twice as expensive as another differently colored one with the same stats, while we can actually use them to train faster. So the only good area for you is skeles. I think that wins over newties since I'm pretty sure you can 2 hit those pretty early on, at least earlier than we can 2 hit newties, and even worse if we do not have an ele weapon. You're complaining skeles is the only map you're good at? That's probably the best map for training in the higher levels.
You think it's so easy making money by merching and bossing. Merching is how I make a living, but I still can't get to nearly enough for an ele wand. I've seen windia's fms. They span like 2 channels or something. Ours doesn't even fill 1 channel lol. I don't even think half the rooms are full lol. Recently, I've seen the lightning one sell for 600-ish. With the lvl 130 ice or fire ones, I doubt it will be that low. Thank god for apq, which gives (if you're lucky) 1 apple per apq. We only need like 200-300 of those for a wand. With 3 apqs a day, we could do it in about 88-100 days, IF we got an average of an apple per apq. As for bossing, we can hardly boss. Zak runs do not give that much in splits, ht is not possible for a under lvl 150 AM to get into, and we have to go like 16 times til we get splits or so. Pap may be good, but there's no way to solo pap without either being high lvl/lukless/ele wand/staff cause it would take up so much time and pots it won't be worth it unless something dropped, I have not tried pianus yet, but I hear AM have a hard time with it, and I'm pretty sure we can't survive a crow hit til like 130+ (I have 1.7XX K hp, and crow does 8.6XX K, which equals a 1.7XX damage on us. If we survive, we won't have much to survive with), I don't think there is a need to comment on anego. We're not given a lot of options here. if you're thinking of tagging on for a boss run, bishops are still prefered over AMs. Bishops can heal, bless, holy symbol, dispel, res. What can we do? Give everyone a whooping +20 matk. Plus I doubt any nl/4th job warrior/bm/shad even need anyone else to help them if they plan to solo pap, and even if they did, we would not be top priority.

Soooo pessimistic sir! If bishops have the money to buy the ele wands, why not? It's their money. Let them waste it. That is beside the fact that you do not have any where near the meso required to buy these wands. I am an i/l arch mage. I was one of the first in mardia to get an ice elemental wand in mardia. I paid 1.2billion mesos for mine. I had been saving up since i heard about these wands. I don't see the issue with them not nerfing the wand for bishops as long as I still get my boost. Like I said, if a bishop wants to waste 1bil+ on a wand that could some time in the future reduce their damage by 25%, then more power to them.
p.s. what do all those bosses have to do with this conversation? :f6:
