Lol, the server i played had it so gaviota was 1000x better than octo since you didn't have to recast it and it's range was MUCH smaller than the real thing so it attacked a lot more. I still went with the normal build leaving it at 15 but i remember it's damage easily doubling octos on a hit by hit basis. (which would be 4500-5000, pretty stable actually) I never got it to max obviously but i probably saw another captain colleague of mine with maxed gaviota, but can't remember his damage. xD

Hmm...was that 21k per minute? Lol, that's even worse than i thought. xD Anyway, i know since there's a time difference and all you can't really party at newties that well but when do you think it would be possible to do that? Do you think gaviota would allow you to be effective faster? Now that i think about it, would it matter that much for GMS at the moment whether or not gaviota would be effective? We don't have the newtie mini dungeon yet, so finding a channel to solo is near impossible in my server and if you actually get one you'll probably be KSed out within the hour. >_> Meaning you're probably stuck at anywhere in CWK or kents where mobbing happens constantly. xD That casting during TF i didn't know though, couldn't do that when i played. O_o

Yeah, they're both good skills regardless of what we think so we'll settle on that. :3

21k per minute? god no lol. 21k in one cast (7k each to 3 monsters). though it was usually 7-14k, I'd say 14k was about the average. as for partying at newties, it's definitely an option. I was able to kill nest golems way before level 105, though I did HP wash a bit, so it should be no problem when you've actually reached the leech level. another way that a lot of 9x players on kMS party is to have a ranger on the middle platform with his hawk out, while he and the other party members attack the first two newties on that platform. it's pretty good exp, a lot better than soloing. it'd also be possible to have a valkyrie freezing that newtie each time it spawns and have all the party members kill as well.

sucks about the map situation.. don't really know what to say besides wait for the mini dungeon to come out lol.. :< the only time I've ever really had a problem at newties was while partying with my friend's bishop there.. but they left after a friend and I spoke with them for a bit. it's just a totally different maturity & respect level over here lol

and for casting gaviota during triple fire, you need really precise timing. I was able to practice it a lot since I've been grinding with 1x exp on newties for 28 levels..
