Hi, everyone~

I just thought I'd make a topic where Pages/WKs/Paladins can hang out and share their musings with others without needing to make a new topic. Opposing points of view are not only fine, but welcome - just be courteous, please. =)

I'm in the middle of about a three-week layoff with my Paladin. I'm not really burned out - I take these breaks every so often to avoid that situation - but I have to admit that going to the same old places to level gets old after a while. There's actually lots of places to train other than Skellies or Time Temple, but the dropoff in xp is substantial. I keep telling myself that I'm playing to have fun, not to be looking at my xp bar every twenty minutes, but at the same time it's a little discouraging to be hunting for a couple hours and see almost no progress.

Of course, we can train with the intent of making money, too. After all, there's comes a point where levelling up another time doesn't make much difference in your offensive output, but a significant equipment upgrade can. Only, if you ruin 95% of what you scroll that can be a downer too, haha. I'm on another of my bad streaks after making my Bellocce.

I also should get back to my Wind Archer that I have linked to Shassia, who is only level 43. An extra 8 attack would be nice. The thing is, I started a Bandit and found her to be a lot more fun! She's almost 48, so she's starting to max Haste now. What a difference in overall speed compared to my slowpoke Paladin! On the other hand, I've grown used to being so durable and not having to pay much attention to my health points. That's a bad habit to get in to with other jobs. Also, lol at seeing "SB" and thinking, "Slash Blast? Thieves don't get Slash Blast... Oh, Savage Blow. Never mind. >.> "

On the subject of builds: I've skipped Stance so far. I maxed ACB, Holy, HH, Blast and MW. I'm working on Achilles right now. I can understand why Stance is a good skill, but for someone like me who solo grinds 95% of the time and doesn't go hunting for Bigfoot, it has limited use. Achilles, however, saves me pot money and has literally saved my life a few times already. I'll probably get Stance next though - I can't see getting Guardian next and I'll never get Monster Magnet.

P.S. I was pretty psyched to hit for my first 90k at Elderwraiths, and 1-hit KO my first Skellies!
Though it doesn't happen even 10% of the time, yet. It's progress, though!
... and because I'm BW I'll routinely follow my 86k hit with like, 34k. ;)

It's 100% up to the individual whether it is good or not. Some people like it, some people don't.

Not when you use pally skills. HH, Blast, ACB ext..

I have a question also about HH. Does HH work if you have fire charge on and does HH work on zak/big foot? I checked videos on youtube, and all I saw was blast blast blast. =

HH works even when you don't have a charge on it. Most of the time Pallies will use Ice when HHing, only for the few seconds of freeze right after. When you use HH on bosses (zak, BF, etc), it will deal max damage cap (200k in GMS) instead of bringing its HP down to 1. I use HH in Zak on its arms, when it def-ups, and for mob control. For BF, I find the cast/recovery time too long to use, resulting in breaking BF's pin so I never use it there unless I'm suicide leeching. :P

Wait, so you can use HH when zak does 1,1,1,1,1,1,1? O_o

Yes, hammer goes past Weapon Attack cancel. (or whatever you call it) I tested it on timer for proof.

If you want to, then do it. If you don't, then don't. It's that simple.

Don't put your points in FA if you have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), I didn't.

I'm an experienced paladin and I'm suggesting you should decide for yourself >_> the primary pros and cons are: max FA = better 1-3 target damage, zero FA = better 4-6 target damage. But the difference is small, especially on 2-4 targets. People play Page/WK both ways and neither is strikingly better, they're hardly even different.



My OCD forced me to get all the Page skills that were available to me, so I have max FA, unlike the guy in the post above me. o.o

My OCD is quite different, mine forced me to get all the Swordman skills =[[[.
