Mathematical comparison graph for hyper skills Dps Hello again. I've finally bitten the bullet and included hyper skills in the skill damage comparison graphs. Here is the result: (Hyper skills data source:;title=GMS%20v123%20-%20Tempest ) As always, there are some assumptions made here. -Crit rate of 90%. I think this is very reasonable for the average aran, and even easier to obtain after hyper skills. -Neutral mobs, Attack speed of Faster(2), 1v1 damage, as usual -Non-bouncing mobs (as in, bosses or minibosses) -Combo Unlimited is active -Judgment damage multiplier from Tempest is multiplicative (1.4*, buffed with hypers to 1.7*) and not additive. -All skills maxed, all relevant hyper skills unlocked If you want the calculations for any
The Finisher - can it proc on Twister Spin? Hello. I was going through the extractions for this patch, and I noticed there was a note about mage final attack (The Finisher) now working on Twister Spin. Did it not work before? Does it work now? Doesn't this effectively almost double Twister Spin's 1v1 damage?
Tempest Sp build Gms v 1.23 This is a work in progress. I'm still trying to find out a bit more information regarding job advancement SP. Notable changes in this patch: -[b]3rd Job advancement will be reduced from Lv. 70 to Lv. 60.[/b] -[b]4th Job advancement will be reduced from Lv. 120 to Lv. 100.[/b] -[b]Aran will receive 4 additional SP at job advancement.[/b] * We receive 4 SP at 1st job level 10, 4 SP at 2nd job level 30, 4 SP at 3rd job level 60, I think. At 100, I suppose we receive 4 SP as well? This is to be confirmed. -[b]Polearm Mastery (2nd job): Master Level adjusted from 20 to 10.[/b] -[b]Body Pressure (2nd job): Master Level adjusted from 10 to 5.[/b] -[b]Combo Fenrir (2nd job): Master Level adjusted from 20 to 10.[/b] -[b]P
Ft vs. Osfb vs. Rs -- updated chart With a Tempest in the forecast, I decided to update my chart one last time New to this version is a corrected attack speed for RS, a 90% crit rate instead of 100%, a cleaner interface, PDR taken into account, and better identified key points. I have also revamped my spreadsheet, so I can make custom charts for anyone with a different critical rate. It will be easier for me to change the number of hits and damage for OSFB, should these changes be required in the near future with hyper skills. Here it is: Hopefully this will be the final pre-tempest version. If anyone would like a custom chart with their own parameters, PM me. Example of custom chart:
Evan endgame Dps caps Hey fellas, A while ago I created a chart for the Aran community and it really helped players visualize how and where Arans are limited by the damage cap, and what solutions they have to work around it. Like Arans, Evans have many possibilities for endgame attack skills, and they are relatively hindered by the damage cap. I'd like to introduce [url=http://i.imgur.com/j7jKd.png]the Evan endgame damage chart[/url]! Now updated to version 1.1, which incorporates criticals! Since every evan has varied damage multipliers (like PDR, %boss, etc.), I cannot hope to provide an actual damage range scaling along the X axis. In order to situate yourself on the graph, simply look at how far you are from each plateau (where each ski
Final Toss speed cap is 3, not 2 [b]ATTENTION: This was very helpfully disproven by SilentXynh and Mancartia <3[/b] However, it seems that now we better understand the way attack speeds are rounded by the Maplestory game code. This may have some far-reaching implications on how other skill speeds are calculated -- we're working on that now! Feel free to continue discussion here. Original post: Note that everything here is preliminary, and I hope to soon confirm it with in-game tests. [b]Idea:[/b] Faster2 and faster3 both attack at the same rate with Final Toss. With the attack speed rounding to the nearest 30, note the speed for faster2 and faster3. FT skill delay: 330ms = faster2 330ms = faster3 360ms = fast4 390ms = fast5 420ms = norma
Aran endgame Dps chart -- Ft vs. OsFb vs. Rs Here is the latest version of the Aran end-game DPS chart: Note that a large majority of Arans situate in the left side of the chart at ranges below 100k, which in the chart I have named "low range" (relatively speaking). The excel sheet is available for anyone who would like it, just fire me a PM. (While I tried to be as clear as possible, be warned: it's a big spreadsheet.) As was very keen to show me, many high-level Arans are complete noobs who don't understand how to optimize their damage. Many of these Arans tragically can't read; (don't worry, if you're actually reading this, that's not you). Every Aran has a different crit rate, %pdr, boss %, and/or other factors. It's impossibl

revised Aran endgame Dps chart -- Ft vs. OsFb vs. Rs Because I have no life, I have revised, corrected, and upgraded my lategame DPS Aran skill chart. Here it is: Please note that the damage ranges in the chart are -approximations-, and that you should base your own position on the chart based on the kind of numbers you hit with each skill (i.e. which of your skills hit max). Note also that a large majority of Arans situate in the left side of the chart at ranges below 100k. The excel sheet is available for anyone who would like it, just fire me a PM. (While I tried to be as clear as possible, be warned: it's a big spreadsheet.) I have corrected the (previously erroneous) DPS for Rolling Spin. I have clarified what makes the damage range ap

Aran endgame Dps chart -- Ft vs. Osfb vs. Rs I have produced a graph in excel that highlights the limitations of each Aran skill in the endgame, with exceedingly high range. The damage ranges in this graph are approximations, and some basic assumptions were made (like no extra % boss from weapons, etc). To find out where you are in this chart, don't use the Range values. Instead, look at the critical points (the arrows at the top of the chart) and see where you fall. I learned a lot, and I hope you will too. Enjoy! Feel free to ask about anything you don't understand. << I plan to update, Rolling Spin was miscalculated. Please do not consider this pic for rolling spin.

Union Osfb vs. Os vs. Ft -- The Math Overswing and FB get some very attractive damage bonuses at the Union patch. However, so does Sudden Strike. Now that in KMS AFA has been fixed to work with FT, the sheer speed of FT allows for more AFA procs. I w
600 attack St being used on Aran? I'm not the kinda guy who spends hundreds of dollars on in-game items. But if say you had a 608 attack Stonetooth (or whatever ridiculous number they're at these days), would that maybe be kinda good damage on an Aran? I know you wouldn't be able to use any skills or have any mastery, but your damage would be boosted by Regained Memory and Snow Charge. Regular attacks could do a lot of damage. Viable idea?
What raises combo count faster? Say you have a mob of 4 in front of you. Which raises combo count faster, OSFB or RS?
