Anyone know if ghost lettering works on bosses?

Wow only 20 second cooldown for Dark Fog. Awesome!!

How much faster are the attacks with the new +3 booster? Because without booster, Blaze and Illusion are still weaker than Paralyze in terms of DPS.

Are we sure that the skill books are received at levels 10, 15, 20, etc., and not at

10 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50 → 60 → 80 → 100 → 120 → 160 as Spadow reported?

Given some of the vids I've seen, it doesn't seem like any level 120ish Evans are using Dark Fog or the other 10th advancement skills...

These master levels actually make more sense, in terms of earning the actual skills (i.e. having enough skill points to spread around) as well as balance. 9th Master should be at 120, otherwise they'd be getting Maple Hero earlier than every other class, etc.

It also explains why fairly high leveled Evan are not shown to be using any Blaze despite its power up.

I was going to post exactly this. I'm sure with Booster the DPS beats Paralyze just after after watching the one video on the other thread, but I think many of us are curious as to the exact cast speeds. Especially if they're around Paralyze's 11+ Booster cast speed of 0.714 seconds, which would make comparisons that much easier.

The cast times up there are without Booster. -3 Booster should mean the delay is shortened by a factor of 13/16, most likely.

Damage per minute, averaged (meaning mastery was applied)

Evan with AMP + Critical + Fury

Skill	Without Booster	With Booster
Blaze on Single Target	24864	30602
Illusion	25730	31668

Mage with AMP

Skill	Booster
Paralyze	19757
Chain Lightning	17741

Note that I didn't count the basic attack buffs because someone told me that Soul Dragon and Magic Mastery add magic attack, not the base attack on each skill.

With the above charts, Illusion is only 60% stronger than Paralyze if both mages have no elemental weapons and same stats. If we count elemental weapon, then Illusion is only 28% stronger. Blaze would then be the strongest skill on an Evan because Illusion is a neutral skill. Blaze would only be 55% stronger than Paralyze.

I'm not even sure if Blaze would be affected by Elemental weapons, because it's a summon doing your work and not you. If the Evan's dragon works the same way all the other current summons in the game do, then Elemental weapons would not work on an Evan.

So if EW work on Evan, they're 55% stronger. If EW don't work on Evan, they're only 24% stronger.

That's hardly an improvement. It's an improvement, but not enough that an Evan can compare with the other nonmage Adventurers at DPM. You'd have to pretty much double the single target damage of an Adventurer mage to do that, and even then, the damage wouldn't come close to Aran's damage. And with a nonspammable ultimate, Evan are weaker at mobbing than Adventurer mages are. GG.

At least they didn't completely trump the mage class like they trumped the warrior classes with Aran.

^ Don't forget Blaze and Sharp Eyes.

 Quotes

Hm. I feel like I need to clear up some things.

1) Blaze was barely improved in this update, with only 10 more base attack (320->330) and no speed change.
2) The more hits = crittability issue only applies to weapon classes, as has been stated; with mages, critical affects everything equally. Therefore, Illusion does not crit better than Blaze. It's true that there will be more crits with Illusion, if you're just counting them, but when Blaze does crit, it crits hard. Look at the Flame Wheel numbers; they'll be slightly higher than that.
3) There is most likely no 10 base attack boost, according to JoeTang's investigation of the Korean characters used to represent "basic attack" and "magic attack".

Keeping this in mind, here's your comparison.

Critical Magic is 1 + 0.25 * 0.7 = 1.175x multiplier
SE alone is 1 + 0.15 * 0.4 = 1.06x multiplier
CM + SE is 1 + 0.4 * 1.1 = 1.44x multiplier

Base Attack * Amp * Critical / (Cast time * Booster coefficient) = final total power

Paralyze + EWand: 210 * 1.4 * 1 / (0.8 * 14/16) * 1.25 = 525.0 BA/sec

Illusion: (130 * 4) * 1.35 * 1.175 / (2.01 * 13/16) = 505.1 BA/sec
Blaze: 330 * 1.35 * 1.175 / (1.32 * 13/16) = 488.1 BA/sec
Blaze + Ewand Fire: 488.1 * 1.25 = 610.0 BA/sec

Paralyze + SE + Ewand Poison: 445.2 * 1.25 = 556.5 BA/sec
Illusion + SE: (130 * 4) * 1.35 * 1.44 / (2.01 * 13/16) = 619.0 BA/sec
Blaze + SE: 330 * 1.35 * 1.44 / (1.32 * 13/16) = 598.2 BA/sec
Blaze + SE + Ewand Fire: 598.2 * 1.25 = 747.7 BA/sec

And I don't think Russt included Fury in his calculations.

^ Don't forget Blaze and Sharp Eyes.

Hmm...

Sharp eyes is 6% DPS improvement for Adventurer Mages. If the 15% critical rate is added onto Evan's critical rate, that means that Evan get a 144% improvement in DPS vs. 117.5% improvement in DPS.

So:

Evan with AMP + Critical + Fury + SE

Skill	Without Booster	With Booster
Blaze on Single Target	30472	37504
Illusion	31533	38810

Mage with AMP + SE

Skill	Booster
Paralyze	20942
Chain Lightning	18805

Illusion is 48% stronger if Adventurer Mage has an EW. If the Evan has an EW too and it works, then Blaze would be stronger by 79%. If the EW doesn't work on Evan, then Evan is only 43% stronger.

So Evan are only competent with SE.

Hm you get a larger difference than I do, even factoring in Fury. I'm not exactly sure what I did there.

Edit: Oh, it's the 90% mastery. Duh.

Also, as for the thread, I've put in the supposedly correct class mastery levels.

Lop off 90 ms from dragonIceBreathe - changed in 1.2.272

Looks like they're at the fine tuning stage now.

According to Spadow, Evan's Amp is only +120%. Huge hit to their single target dps.

It's 135%. Anyone who says otherwise isn't reading the data.

It's 135%. Anyone who says otherwise isn't reading the data.

Thank god. What about the skills that add basic attack? Are they actually boosting spell base damage or is it just matk?

Please be BASE ATTACK!!

Passives:

Soul Dragon	+20 basic attack	1st Mastery (10)	20 points
Critical Magic	35% chance of +50% damage	6th Mastery (60)	15 points
Magic Amplification	180% MP use, 135% damage	7th Mastery (80)	15 points
Dragon Fury	+10% damage when MP is 50-80%	8th Mastery (100)	10 points
Magic Mastery	90% mastery, +15 basic	9th Mastery (120)	30 points

Isn't their Critical 30% probability, not 35%?

Also any confirmation on whether Soul Dragon/Magic Mastery add basic attack or spell damage?

It was 25% before, right?

My bad, then. Evidently I can't add 5 to 25.
