Lowluk Battle Mage with this gear? Clean Zhelm Clean Dep Star with 25 W.Def 3 Zombie Rings 1 Lilin's Ring Lvl 16 Big Bang Ring 3% +2 Luk Cape 29k NX Is it possible to start one? Is it a necessity to have a M. Att WG?
So is Int % Cheap in Bello? Thinking about making a BaM. Is RA/Tyrant and INT % expensive in Bello?
Why are Battle Mages so low in DPS? According to that unreliable chart, of course.
Lukless Battle Mage So yeah, how do I go about doing it with a Zhelm and Clean Dep Star? I have 29k NX.
Slow Staves are good. Not only are Battle Mages still pretty fast, but I think its completely pointless to keep a staff from level 65 with its crap M.Att when you're level 90. I use a slow staff and I hit just fine. Elemental Staves are good, but only if you can afford them. If you can't, you're better off using a scrolled slow staff. It doesn't make your dps any lower since its stronger. And Yellow Aura + Booster make a huge difference.

Its all preference and

Lukless Battle Mage exists? I thought the damage formula changed making it seem that Lukless would be obsolete. Is it still possible to make a lukless Battle Mage? If I'm not so funded, low-luk would be just as good?
Booster > Drain. Drain is capped. Seriously, its not a good skill and people should quit encouraging newbie BMs to put 9 Drain 14 Booster or whatever. Other reasons courtesy of these 2 guys: [quote=TikeyMasta]Hitting high is actually quite easy for BaMs once you max Battle Mastery. The problem is the the cap on Blood Drain ignores all HP bonuses, so buffs and equips don't matter. Here's what happens with level 3 Blood Drain, since I'm already hitting the healing cap: [url=http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/Mega_Tikey/Maple%20Story%20Screenshots/Maple0035-2.jpg]367 HP healed with no HP equips.[/url] (3678 HP, this is my base) [url=http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/Mega_Tikey/Maple%20Story%20Screenshots/Maple0036-3.jpg]367 HP healed
From Dual Blade to Battle Mage? Yeahhhh, all the leveling areas are getting stupid. I'll probably pick up my Dual Blade near Lionheart Castle release or when Nexon fixes some of these maps. This is all I have: Clean Zhelm PoT'd Dep Clean 25% Wep Defense Lilin's Ring 4 Resistance Energy Shots I have 4k NX and I could get at least another 25k. Help?
ATTN: Future Battle Mages Max Booster, leave Drain at 3.
