Ask an Aran thread.

Hey guys, how useful is Whirlwind exactly? I still see Fenrir Phantom getting more use than it, so would dump points before Final Take go into that?

From what I've seen and my personal opinion: not very much. I'd rather push monsters to one side with Final Take. What use there is to pushing monsters into both sides? It's not a good finisher, and you'll ruin your combo. Personally i'd skip that skill (or get it to lvl 10, I think full swing double and full swing triple is one skill, which leaves 10 points to Whirlwind)

Max booster then point the remaining points in final take and whirlwind.

I have absolutely no high lvl Aran experience, but would having those spare points in 3rd job being put into Final take and booster better than in whirlwind? (whirlwind seems useless...)

I don't know if this has been answered but how do you get that level 30 polearm (For Arans only)? On Basil it's a pre-aran quest.

Never trust info at basilmarket. I made pre-quests and got nothing but exp...

ok, here is a question, i have a 99 attack white mop(forget the str) and a 108 atk eclipse, forgot str aswell(cant log in and check atm). Which would be better? IDK the difference between normal and slow(7) so.

The Eclipse is probably better, it depends if Aran attacks follow the same speeds as DKs though. My 104 Normal weapon is about as good as a 111 Slow(7) afaik which is only 7 atk difference.

So Smart KB...

If it doesn't work on bosses, what's the point? I mean, I know that whirlwind skill is worthless, but isn't Smart KB nigh useless if it doesn't work on bosses?

0% chance of a monster with magic attack hitting you is really nice. Really really low % chance of a monster hitting you with a magic attack is really nice.

Not to mention arans power goes down way too much when dealing with 12 mobs. Enough where it goes below a monsters KB.

Does Final Toss work on mobile bosses?
Such as Anego?

Question...I'm not exactly rich and I don't have a high leveled main, so what amount of dex should I go for? (Atleast until I make enough cash to get equips with +x dex)

No

Ew, then what the hell.
What's going to survive long enough for a decent juggle?

I guess I'll wait until there's another glitched mob that lacks the boss tag.

Snipe. Mortal Blow. Shadow Web. Poison Mist.

Remember on large mobs you'll be doing a lot less damage, and with super KB you hardly need to do anything to keep them in the air (1000 for Chief Oblivion Guardians) so it's useful early on.



My Paladin would do well on stronger mobs too... the strongest Holy monster in the game I can 2hko at 13x (not counting Crimson Balrogs who don't spawn fast enough to train on). What's the use of Holy Hammer then? >_>

What's more important to max on 1st job - Combat Step or Booster? Or do you put equal amounts into both?

16 Booster and max Combat Step.

16 Booster and max Combat Step.

Alright, thanks.

아란 is how I pronounce it (Ah-Rahn)

Ahhhhhhhhhh-Rahhn is my way

Like people said before - on large mobs you're doing alot less dmg.
also not all of us are so strong to kill anything in two hits
i like the idea of mobs unable to hit me, and me having to WORK for it. (juggle, lure, keep attacking properly.)
i'm so going to play my aran with a gamepad, it'll give me differend experience hopefully

How does gamepad activate PA Booster, SmartKB n other buffs?
