omg nice damage and nice video (: +1

[quote=Deathmanxxx]Ah, I had 64.7k range with an energizer at the time, but I had 30% boss, 30% def ingore, and 6% total damage on my PSB. Even though the range doesn't show it, it's a pretty significant boost; it'd be nice if the PDrate ignore was additive though (would ignore 30% PDrate), but currently it ignores 30% of the monsters PDrate (so 30% of 50% PDrate would be 15% def ignore, 25% def ignore total with cleaving blow kicking in). I'm hoping to re-test sometime soon, since I've gained some levels; but it would be nice to finish my potential shoulder and PSB I'm working on. Silly item lock on my PSB doesn't come off til the 14th and Nexon won't reply to their ticket system; I sent a ticket in nearly 2 months ago and it hasn't been read yet. -_-[/quote]

The pot on my psb is only 30 boss 15% pdr and 6% atk [wish it was % dmg], but i'm not risking cubing atm, expecially since theres a higher level of potential that's supposedly coming out eventually, and it's already got pretty decent potential on it. I guess I'll retry zak, but sometimes he seems to totally murder you with super def, while others he only uses it once or twice.

[quote=xVillainous]I leveled my aran to 167, got mw maxed, and I still don't solo Zak in 5 mins, and my range is higher than yours, or maybe I'm missing something. My aran has about 67k buffed, w/ egizer.[/quote]

isn't it true for arans ur attks r delayed in pvp but for u it look u weren't delayed

[quote=xVillainous]Sorry, but 75 attack is a pretty decent difference. Until you do trials where you're unlucky with zak's super defense, and show you can use magic crash to block them, I don't buy it. Sorry. Do "research"? Are you sure you're thinking straight? I read all that garbage about you soloing in 5 with e-gizer, but i refuse to believe that 75 attack doesn't change your range significantly, and therefore your kill speed. There's no such thing as research about a situation that's only PARTIALLY in the control of the person doing the experiment. There's no such thing thing as a "controlled experiment," therefore any "research" is totally theoretical and thus not accurately proven to be be useful for application in real life.

Also, in case you've not ACTUALLY checked, SI doesn't speed up psbs. At all. I've tried it. With and without are exactly the same. Pole arms = adding a speed level to crusher.

Also, why would you even talk about a normal 6 attack speed? Psbs are fast 5. I have a 174 att 3L unique psb.

Trolling is intentional argument starting.

You seem at least as biased as I am.[/quote]

One, magic crash will fail you eventually, since you can't keep it up, has a 1 minute cool-down and you'd get cancel w atked once the effect wears off anyways. Second, SI [b]does[/b] work with Drks with PSBs; the "faster" speed you have the the 15% faster animation rate with polearms for buster, when Nexon released the BB patch, they forgot to add in all the animation frames for buster when using polearms, therefore the animation is faster with polearms, but [b]not[/b] your actual attacks; [b]sacrifice, fury, and all of your other skills will be at the same speed, fast 3.[/b] I had found out about this 15% faster animation rate long before anyone knew or posted anything about it; I found out about a few days after the patch, while it didn't catch on for others for around 3-4 weeks, seems you don't know about it much apparently. Third, Arans can pull off a full OS in 1260 ms (normal 6 attack speed); the first swing 180 ms, second 420 ms, third 660 ms. A Drk using a polearm is only faster for buster, no other skill; so one buster normally takes 1050 ms, so 1050 x 0.85 = 892.5, which rounds down to 892 ms per buster (normal 6 attack speed). I'm saying Arans can do multiple swings before Drks can pull off even one attack, plus their hits are multi-hits and not limited to the damage cap like sacrifice is, plus Arans have a speed advantage thanks to their own -3 booster, while Drks can only pull off the same attack speed with SI. We both have different opinions, but I have found Arans faster in terms of bossing. The tests I have done on both characters used the same atk pots and everything, both had decent SE, both only had their attacks cancelled once, etc. Just don't try to throw out things you think are true, but are just assumptions; I have looked over everything and factored in anything that could hinder the process, there's also a term called [b]trial and error.[/b] I did several tests on these points, not just one or two and claimed this. I'm not fixed to any certain class, I play the job that I like the most, and I have found Arans more efficient for me and fun as well. I'm going back to my Drk anyways once the Jump update hits, and this character should be 200 for a while by then anyways. Play the game how you want to play it, no need to make a fuss over it.

[quote=xVillainous]Can you tell me how fast you solo w/o apple? Then I'll know if it's worth it to continue my aran, as I mostly just boss, and my aran is lv 150 atm. I'm under the impression that an Aran doesn't boss as quickly as a drk.

Edit:He has about 155% str.[/quote]

[quote=Deathmanxxx][b]It takes me 5 minutes to solo with an energizer[/b], this isn't an exact time but that's really close to it. I have 160% str, and trust me, Arans are alot faster than Drks are in terms of bossing. [b]Not only that, Aran's attacks can ignore PDrate, while buster can't[/b]. Also sacrifice is only [b]one hit, limited to the damage cap and has the swing range of a power strike[/b], so you can't even reach a lot of things with it. Arans also don't lose that much damage anymore when attacking more than one mob. I also tested [b]both of them[/b] at zakum solos, the Aran won by a fairly large gap.[/quote]

[quote=xVillainous]So why did my last zak solo take about 7 minutes at lv 170 with abouttttt 4-6k lower range lower than I have now? Also, how quickly do you solo scarl? It takes me about 6minutes.

EDIT: I should say it took me 6 minutes at lv 165 or so with about 9k lower range than I've got now, and no SE gloves. I've got serious doubts about an aran surpassing a drk with the same equips as the drk, and what do you mean fast 2? Both arans and drks can use psbs.[/quote]

[quote=xVillainous]ZOMG LOL. I just realized: YOU USED AN APPLE ON ZAK ROFL. Wow, no. And you're talking arans killing faster than drks? Naw dude. E-Gizer is the only acceptable atk pot to use while comparing a solo time.

EDIT:Apparently I noticed that already. But thinking about it again, apples don't only decrease time by 1 minute, son. Especially for a NON-drk.[/quote]

we is not built for damage sir. if you want der damage, wrong class.

Alrighty ^, but what's the millisecond delay of skills?

Kinda funny how you just have that guy Android constantly following you around whilst on godmode.

You're basing your opinion on a single experience?

unlike some other rich people, this guy is so humble. i don't even know him- randomly saw him in the fm, but he gladly invited all my mules to a zak expd for me

[quote=Deathmanxxx]What does the apple have to do with anything? The main video only used energizers, and I only used an apple on the solo. Why does that matter? o.o[/quote]

Thanks for all the comments guys, I appreciate it.

[quote=NerdyBandit]I don't make videos, but it looks like you're abusing some effects or w/e. Also, coloris is probably the most overused music in Maple videos ever... Not a bad effort though.[/quote]

I'm hardly using any effects at all. It's mostly crops and rotating the screen. I only used effects to change the colours and the light rays in the moon shift parts. Also, how is Coloris overused? I've only seen two videos use that song, both of them being Maple animations, not actual gameplay.

[quote=HankyDanky]you never saw delaran vids ?
almost same, just better music[/quote]

My gear is quite noticeably better than his, he's doing around the same damage on ice-weak monsters using snow charge as I do on regular monsters. Damage increases by 1.5x when attacking a ice-weak monster, so it's quite a difference. Those chief oblivs he hunts in his videos are ice-weak. I hunted bains in my video, which are also ice-weak, so you can tell the difference there. We're also both using energizers (+25 atk pot) in our videos. His videos are pretty good though as well.

[quote=user]Great video.
But it seems the Triple Swing skill was key-binded. If you listen carefully to the Zakum solo and/or slow down the video, you can tell that the first swing in Triple Swing is missing in some parts.[/quote]

I never key-binded anything. That zakum solo was on 2x speed for one. Secondly, how can you NOT see the first swing? I see it just fine. o_o The audio is also sped up 2x to match the video, so of course you'll have problems hearing it. By the way, it's not possible to bind OS anyways since it's considered passive, not an attack on it's own; it just changes the animation of double swing and triple swing and gives it a "buff". Third, I use a controller to play my Aran, not the keyboard. Lastly, do you think a 18x Aran with all that gear would use a hack and risk getting banned and lose it all? Don't think so. I'm legit, not a hacking idiot. -_-

[quote=SasukeIIV]Why is Dark Knight a tag for this video? lol.[/quote]

Because Aran is already in the title, and I have a Dark Knight as well.

[quote=Lutrace]Hey Dustin
I miss you!
Come back to Mardia please![/quote]

Hey Kody!~ It's been a while, haha. I'm not coming back to Mardia though. I couldn't even if I wanted to, because of that false ban history I have from late last year due to Paypal messing up and getting me blocked for a month and a half til I paid it (again btw, had to basically pay twice for the NX -_-, never got the "refund" back either).

Why is Dark Knight a tag for this video? lol.

Wow, that was a really god video! I really liked it! Good job! d^_^d

Great video and good editing!
But I couldn't stand the songs.

Nicely done ^_^

nice vid, nice damage, also wat recipe was that

This is the very first time I felt like making an aran. Your damage is amazing. Great job! <3

nice vid and your gear is good LOL

I don't make videos, but it looks like you're abusing some effects or w/e. Also, coloris is probably the most overused music in Maple videos ever... Not a bad effort though.

Dustin we should do a duo zak video .. lolz

Woahhhhhh, I wish there was a buttom called "I FREAKING LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTT OH MY GOSH <3" xD

EXCELLENT VIDEO. The editing, the songs used, etc.

Mine sucks compared to this one xP

Very, veryyyy nice editing! Good job on the vid

[quote=iamcanadian15]thats MY BOYYY![/quote]

Velonciaaa you so mean to meeeeee

+1 Nice video/editing I think I'm going to make an aran soon because this. xD

DUSTINNNNN SO PROOOO <33333 Miss you ~

wow ur range and dmg makes me kinda moist...very nice work +1

Whats your base dex? Nice vid XD

Hey Dustin
I miss you!
Come back to Mardia please!

Wish I had a godly range like that. o.o

what was that rec that droped when u killed zak

when you're soloing zak you should stand on its body.. you can hit almost all the arms at once that way

Awesome video and damage dude. I love your song choice as well But too much pn/crapping makes me want to punch my screen. Less effects would be nice too.

Wow, if you're using sony vegas (i'm assuming you are ) you should mute the maplestory audio track because its mad annoying. Also, another very helpful tip; is that when you slowdown a clip is to lock the audio and make it stretch to match the pitch of the slowed down clip so it doesnt sound like a dying rat.

Mmm, other than that you should try not to pancrop as much and put variety in your videos instead of just you killing the same thing with basically the same pancrop.

nice videos dustin props bro..

[quote=TheAngryCat]I can't give any criticism seeing as I've never made a video yet. So I like it, but I dislike that you have to use an apple. Not impressed. >.<[/quote]
What does the apple have to do with anything? The main video only used energizers, and I only used an apple on the solo. Why does that matter? o.o

[quote=gillis8swe][quote=Valtorec]@ all nubs against keybinders - u can do it w/o hacks in PVP

No you cant[/quote]

No you think u cant - dont rule out a method just cuz u dont no how

Nice solo

your too pro =3 awesome vid btw, its nice to see other aran vids out there

Yea I was using a PSB. You didn't see it in the video at the start?

Says in the description in my video on YT, but I used Fraps.

Hey guys, glad you like the video. I don't bind anything, I can spam toss and charge due to sudden strike in 4th job. And yea, my control would be better but I was wearing VSS, so it won't let me slide with combat step.
