To all the FPs out there

Just recently changed my Ice Lightning into a Fire Poison seeing a lot of my friends wanted to see me as a FP. I'm pretty funded if that even matters? Neither do i have any idea as to how to stack DoTs. I feel its a complicating class to play i like the challenge though, so if anyone could direct me as to how I should set up DoTs at certain bosses would be perfect or even videos would be nice.

Side note to those few or many F/P mages that are capable of solo'ing pretty much hell gollux/empress/CRA (Dojo included)
how much range/boss/pdr do i need to successfully solo these bosses
because ATM i have about 1.2m self buffed with 237% boss ad 155% pdr

At least it my guild/world ppl are looking for 800k or more range...remember to use elemental reset on most bosses so your dmg doesn't get cut. Utilize slime virus on gollux aswell

ahh i see @sungoon @proxyied @doxyprofen thanks a lot yea i gave it a read still practicing cause im not use to controlling dots so i have to be mindful of those and dr depending on the boss i choose to fight against. Yeaa i really do need si like i feel i'd be a much better bosser but miracle aint trynna be my friend so imma prob try to find legendary gloves and just cube it from there >.<
It'll take some time getting used to i guess, but what kind of range would you need for CRA? and how much matk/int% would you need to even come close to 15m per para

[quote=redherring]I think the hyper for no-cd ME is at 195, and it's great. FH casts a mist at either your or the boss's location, and erupting that mist (and hitting with it) will reset the CD on FH.

I'm amazed that you could get a range of 1.2 with 6% gear. o.o[/quote]

No c/d ME is at 155.

Haha - well, your overall times should still get much faster. Just use FH/ME instead of paralyze for bossing.

@dee14 Check out the stickied guide! I've only given it a brief glance, but it seems very well done, and should answer most of your questions about skill use in greater depth than I can.

Sort of OT; Is there a big difference between your old CL numbers and new Paralyze numbers?

@redherring a lot of m.atk and thats with AA into account of course but im a bit over 1.2 forgot to add that ahah or id be around 1.050? ish around there
needa finish a lot of stuff ughh so upsetting
ohh really so then I would need no-cd ME seeing casting FH resets the CD after casting the mist

@tecul1 @redherring ahh i see thanks a lot man but most of my gears only like 6% int lmfao so i just need to cube tbh I just wanna know what the minimum is cause miracle time completely effed me over and also would i get no cd on explosion? cause i've been getting mixed answers

Setting up DoTs should be the same at any boss: Poison Breath, Paralyze, then FH - in that order - with some teleports thrown in throughout. It should take all of ~2 seconds to get full AA stacks, Fervent Drain stacks, and 5 DoTs up. It's pretty simple to execute.

My range is a little higher than yours, but you have about 40%Boss over me. CRA and Hell gollux are out of the question, and Empress should be doable with a binder or crasher. Or both, really, since separate drop tables apply to most drops.

Hit around 35m w/ para for a safe hell gollux.
