Splitter is potentially the best weapon aside from brionac a.k.a beam spear in our version.

Splitter is potentially the best weapon aside from brionac a.k.a beam spear in our version.

This. It gives 4 atk speed and 2 move speed. Honestly the later weapons only have like 200atk on it. Not worth getting for that price. I do want a beam spear, it's the only average speed spear along with 5 atk speed, although it's expensive as hell lol

I find it hilarious how easy the new curve has made leveling. lol I have not once set foot into the Temple of Apostasy, and I'm already level 37. Going through the main Behemoth (Outer to Second Spine) got me to 36 easily. Then I was able to unlock the Chamber of Blood to reach 37, which opens up Mount Thunderime. I was actually laughing. Now I'm not sure if I should just avoid the Temple for now and go back to it later or try getting it over with. I already started working on The Ridge last night, though, so I think I'll finish it. Most likely gonna be 38 today...

Finishing my Battle Mage so fast like this almost makes me want to slow down.

Anyone have a suggestion for a Battle Mage build up to 40? I have made this, but I don't know if it is any good, or will be beneficial. http://www.aradsociety.com/planner/?clas...bwQbwSbwWb

Here's my Battle Mage's build, if it helps you any.

 Spoiler

Chaser Generator will be level 5, too. Eventually. Right now Backstep and its Cancel cost points, so I'm getting Generator later. I prioritized them. Level 1 Generator has been all I need for dungeons, anyway. I'll eventually be getting the Dragon Fang and (possibly) Palm Blast Cancels, as well. As of now, I have no use for them. Cancels are much more helpful in PvP. In PvE, I only use Uppercut and Backstep Cancel.

Battle Mage's builds are pretty standard. The only thing wacky about yours is the Chasers. Why did you build them like that? I would die without max Fire Chaser. And having all of the Chasers would screw me up. I see little point in having level 1 Water and Shadow Chaser. Their damage would hardly be worth using, besides. Their buffs at that level are negligible. Using just three Chasers (Neutral, Light and Fire), I often hit the max capacity of Chasers. I wouldn't want some weak Water/Shadow ones taking up space and preventing me from getting another strong Chaser.

Just noticed you have Press, too. I guess that explains what you were thinking with all the Chasers. If it works for you, hey go for it. But I could never use a build with Press and all the Chasers. I have no experience with Press because I'm never going to get it, but I have to ask: Even with Press, wouldn't it still be better to focus on the three main Chasers? Doesn't Press gather strength from not only the amount of Chasers, but their power as well? Wouldn't a bunch of level 1 Chasers suck? Fire Chaser is so powerful leveled up. I abuse it like crazy.

Well, level 1 chasers are mainly used for pvp. Chaser damage is garbage either way due to the huge nerf. Personally, fire chaser messes up my combo more than it helps due to its pushing properties but really, it doesn't matter which chasers you use in pvp, you just NEED chasers period. I do recommend shadow chaser though, it saved a ton of combos for me. It actually allows me to use a full punto and not cancel it 8D. Full punto -> shadow chaser -> meteor ->( light chaser) -> upper reset -> regular combo.

I think he got press for the buff properties. It allows you to buff yourself without hitting your opponent. Honestly, I think it's a pile of fail though <_<. Extremely long casting time, no SA or anything. I would reconsider getting spear mastery and getting backstep+cancel. BMs NEED this skill so much, even more so in pvp. Take advantage of such a long backstep poke due to your range, especially spears.

You guys could also consider maxing phase shift. It allows me to turn it into a counterattack instead of just escaping, throws a lot of people off. Plus, if you don't mind getting pecked once in awhile in a dungeon, you can virtually have the 20% move/attack speed buff on all the time. It feels amazing.

I do not PvP with my Battle Mage, though. It's not my main character, and I hardly care about it. I may not even get it to 60. 48 for sure, but after that I don't know. It's just another character to have... Time killer. It's been fun playing, but it's so much worse than my Witch. I can't stand being so weak and limited in what I can do.

Max Shift might be good in PvP, but it has no use to me in dungeons. I've certainly considered everything, since I like to think about builds way too much. I greatly prefer spending points in pure offense. Even extending the build to 60, I probably wouldn't max it.

With chaser generaton you want less chasers, yes you can turn them of like any skill, but those are points wasted.

Chaser press sucks, no reason to get it.

Okay, a very big wtp moment for me. My default "Z" command isn't working. I can still do other things, like -> + -> + Z, but not my DEFAULT "z" attack, which is Giant Weapon Launcher. Is there a way to fix this? I already resetted hotkeys which did nothing as well as exiting DFO and starting it up again.

Did you accidentally lock the skill (right click)?

Oh crap. I may have in confusion. I'll check later.

*Yeah I somehow right clicked my most staple skill. Boy that lost me that one PvP battle due to surprise.

Depends on whether it's for pvp or pve. Felix's is mostly pve. If you want pve, I guess it could work? If you want pvp, you're going to have to make a lotttttt of changes.

Eh, for some strange reason, my skills are getting randomly unlocked and locked although I haven't been touching them. And randomly, I'll be able to complete a dungeon, but I can't pick up with my default attack/pick button. It'll show the pick animation, but I won't be able to pick up items. Weird.

Exact same things have been happening to me. The random unlocking isn't that bad (easy and quick to fix), but the pick up glitch is terrible. I had to completely restart DFO for it to go away. At first I thought it was lag, but it's definitely not.

Pick up glitch occurs when you use the quest helper thing. Doesn't matter if you turn it on for a second then turn it back off, it'll eventually screw up your DFO and you'll have to restart.

THREAD REVIVAL!

I Did some intense pvp with Providence today on my new(ish) spitfire, LrdHiCptGreg. I wasn't keeping track, but it was close to 50/50, although you wouldn't know it from a lot of the matches. It often happened that one of us completely dominated the other, winning while retaining 80%+ hp.

I'm always up for some pvp (as long as gear is roughly equal).

A lot of people have been having the unlock glitch, myself included. It's caused its fair share of problems while dungeoning.

Been duoing dungeons with Mark lately. It's fun stuff. I don't see how some of you can solo all the way up to 40 without getting bored... :<

We're both 34 as of now; he's been training his Crusader while I'm still working on my Monk. Can't wait to get to 35 so I can annoy PVPers with Twister of Judgement!

[COLOR="Teal"]Fk your twister, gets me everytime :<
Yeah soloing the later dungeons is time consuming, pot consuming, and token consuming. All I do is farm on my battlemage lol[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Teal"]To all of you who have soloed Faris, holy pomegranate you have balls.

My party wanted to go back around in order to avoid Faris, but I convinced them to try it, since I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Dear god she's hard. Well we were on Kings, but still, I got hit by the net, dragged, then mounted. I thought it would be a normal attack, maybe like 5-6 punches. Nooooo...she pounded on me for a good 10-15 seconds, doing 400 damage each time (with lvl 10 mana shield). Needless to say I was dead pretty fast. [/COLOR]
