IMO, anytime I'd build a sin, I'll go max darksight first job and leave the +1acc/+1avoid skill at 10.

Ya, thats a good idea to max dark site in first job. But when I build my sin every single guide out there told you to max Nimble Feet and leave Dark Sight at 10. How was I supposed to know any different?

I got Dark Sight instead of maxing Booster at the end of 2nd job because of stupid 1st job guides... I've never needed the extra acc that Nimble Body gives and I don't think 10 avoid does much.

I think I'll finish up booster (or at least 180 seconds) at the end of 3rd, since Shadow Meso/Shadow Web don't need all 31 points.


I use Dark Sight more than Drain, so yeah... I dunno how the idea that it's not useful came to be.

Quick question. Is a range of 411 ~ 686 low for a lvl 57 bandit?

Not really.

My 50 STR bandit has a max range of ~900 without an attack shield, so probably ._.

your damage really depends on your fundings.... If you think it's too low than find a way to upgrade it...
I'd say its average but not really there...

Anyone have a 50+ skanda? I really need one.

Well, I have no attack shield either, but I'm also using a 100%'d dagger, so that probably has something to do with it.

And my dex is pretty high. I think once I get to 4th i might reset some.

At level 57, your Dex should be between 90 or 100. Neither is high. Your damage range is (probably) weak because you're; A) a Str bandit B) you probably don't have an Att WG C) using a 100%'ed dagger.

Oh, look at that. I figure I won't waste the money to buy a scrolled/scroll a good dagger since I'll only be using it for 14 levels, until I can equip my Asura, which I'll 40%

Now my only dillema is about my dex again. I'm thinking I'll cap it at 120 for the time being, and once I get better equips and MW I can start resetting it back into luk. I'm fine with lower damage, my main is an Arch Mage after all :o

ok, well everyone knows that I restarted my hermit (go figure... 160 dex!) and so now it's level 55
I got a 13 atk BWG, 4 atk 8 luk PAC, 2 atk clean Facestompers, 46 atk bracer, no zak (fail), and a 14 luk top...
I want to know what I should upgrade
I'm dexless BTW

Here's an easy question.

Hidden-street says BS does 500% dmg. Is this 500% per hit, or between the two hits?

per.

These are my current equips, besides my dagger what else should I aim to upgrade if I have about a bil to spend?

15 dex /16 luk Helm
108/8 Cursayer
3 att/10 luk pac
19 luk/2 dex top
17 dex/2 luk bottom
14 dex bss
10 att wg
10 att MoN
11 luk earrings
17 att 1 slot Khanjar

My stats:
Str: 55+25=80
Dex: 100+53=153
Luk: 516+72=588

Your shield and your glove would be the most beneficial to your damage to upgrade.

i was wondering, what range does a bandit need to ohko zombies and mixed golems?

Depends on level and the skill you're using. And I'm not willing to calculate everything for you, but I'll give you a rough estimate that totally ignores monster Def and takes SB as the skill used.

Coolie/Minor zombie: 4500hp. 4500/4.8 = 937.5 minimum. Will come to around 1000 min or so when you factor in Def, methinks.

Mixed Golem: 6000hp. 6000/4.8 = 1250 minimum. Will come to something over1300 if you factor in monster Def.

As a 6-hit skill, SB is very unlikely to hit at the bottom end, so as long as 1000 is around the bottom 25% of your range you'll barely ever 2hko zombies.

Hi im a luk bandit with 4 str. Im wondering if i should convert to a str bandit to equip dragon khanjar. Thanks

It's the best option you have if you want the best damage in 4th job. IF you don't have a couple of billions of mesos to invest into your character.

But that doesn't in any way mean you should convert to Str right away. I recommend starting to convert at level 100 or higher.
