Hyper skills dmg and funding a mage

Hello everyone !
I'm coming back from somewhat of a break, since it's the first time I've been able to log into maple in 5 months, and I have a few questions I was hoping someone in the basil community can answer.
My first question is, what would be the dmg of Chain Lightning after the Hyper skill update, if I were to put a point in the +20% dmg passive hyper skill.
My second second question is how hard would it be to find % int items to fund my mage (I'll have about 20b to spend so I'd be searching for about 12% int items, including empress set) If anyone from Bera can help, that will be great ^^
Another question is, is there any better option then Empress set right now? (for my range of funding).

[quote=NamesBoreMe]No you cannot equip 2 rings, find high % int from people who are quitting, if you ARE going to cube your own, then make sure its Empress (seriously, 30m is nothing when you have 2b and the extra stats are worth it), Hyperskills for I/L mages are Ok I guess. Before, I hit ~300-400k per line of CL self buffed, now I hit around 400-500k per line of CL self buffed with a 91% crit rate. GC's cooldown was removed, which makes it more convenient I guess? Really, the only practical use I have for it atm is for applying DoT and taking out mobs of 6 or greater, since CL is more effecient. Lightning Orb is laughable in most circumstances, CL usually performs better (unless of course, you can cap with CL), the only advantage of Lightning orb being its large AoE.[/quote]

What are you talking about? It's extremely good at bosses.

Didn't Kanna make it harder to find % INT items?

@shadowcape when you have 20b its worth it. Go for 15-18% earrings around 1.5-2b. 12% rings are 1.5-2b. Not much high % int gear is up on the market so it may come down to cubing your own.

The Empress set isn't worth it, Using in% is much more better even though i use the 4 basic set pieces XD
