Boss Battles Thread

Hey congrats! I do have a question for you though, how much did 5th job help you interms of power rise?

I know i'm not Kobe, but look this video he posted, it seens brutal, he didn't even finish dojo to make even more difficult(and still used his 5job skill that helps good Drks).

Hey congrats! I do have a question for you though, how much did 5th job help you interms of power rise?

When 5th job came out, I was around level 191 hitting around 5m on bosses like RA, Hilla, and Magnus. With completing cores, arcane symbols, and upgrading some of my gear (i've doubled my range since 2 months ago through gear, arcane symbols included) and getting decent SE gloves i was able to boost my damage up to ~28m on chaos vellum, which was enough for me to kill him.

and yea, the video that Ivangold posted is a pretty good examples of what cores and arcane symbols did to my damage.

5th is such a good thing for me. Just being able to log in and do something other than redeeming monster exploration and daily bosses is pretty swell.

Soloed my first CRA boss! Now I gotta see if I can do Queen/Pierre.

@HighOnMushrooms
Grtz man! 5job making dreams come true!
Good luck on pierre tho.

L>3 minutes soon (although in reality this was 3:40 minutes or so).

Does overload mana really help us though :f6: and what's your stats now D:

It's basically a "free" 8% increase in damage, and it's a toggle skill (CD really only applies if you die or enter a map that wipes buffs). I've been trying to get this skill, but drop rate for nodestones is really low sigh. And DSI is so important for Lumis...

Around 20k INT, pomegranatety boss damage as of this moment (182%).

It's far better than just 8% total damage, in reality it's 1.4*1.3*1.08 meaning it's 14% for luminous, every mage but FW should use it.

Don't know why people don't use it like mad in other versions in KMS you see everyone with it even fws.

tfw I only have 11k int... never gonna get past 14k lol
the mana burn makes it terrible for absolute kill usage though ._. that's the main reason why I haven't been using it. It's 8% final damage no? :f6:[/COLOR]

The main reason I avoid using it is because the mana burn is just way too intense - For an Evan main, at least. You have to use MP pots to keep up with it and most boss maps have pot cooldown now... so you'll literally be stuck there doing nothing since you can't heal your MP fast enough to keep up. It's quite absurd.

Yeah I can definitely understand Evan or FW, but not Archmages who avoid when their mana consumption isn't that bad, I've actually not seen many Evans with it.
[MENTION=5063]holycow[/MENTION]; just look at my equation, remember final damage % is multiplicative, also it really shines with PR (new skill) so for Luminous you should 100% absolutely use it.

remember final damage % is multiplicative

It seems like you kind of misunderstand what that means. The fact that it's multiplicative doesn't make it any better than what it is, an 8% final damage boost always means you do 8% more damage than before you had it. It's not suddenly 14% more damage for Luminous because you already have 40% final damage and 30% final damage. The fact that the final damage stat in the window goes up 14% is just because it's multiplicative. 1.4x * 1.3x * 1.08x is 1.96x, yes, so you do 96% more damage than base, but 1.4x * 1.3x = 1.82x, you were already doing 82% more than base damage, so the extra 14%, 1.96x/1.82x is just the approximately 8% more damage you gained, which was obvious from the fact you multiplied 1.08x into it to get 1.96x.

I know I am just simplifying things.
It would show up as 96% final damage, in range/final damage stat if it was there, hence 14% "extra", should've been more clear on that I guess.

30% boss later.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Feels like a pleb compared to ^

but yeah I've finally managed to down chaos vellum
yeah yeah it wasn't actually downed but meh, waiting for 2x drop


[/COLOR]

I feel even more a pleb, finnaly managed to kill Chaos Vellum with this Shoco Buff! I did this last week but forgot to post here

This was before choco buff

With the current lag I havent been able to clear cause that dear laser.

This is a pretty stupid accomplishment but I finally full cleared CHT in less than 1 minute (before the in-game timer reaches 2h28m).


I still can't full clear PB in 1 minute, that teleporting statue is so annoying :<
