Fastest Gms I/l Mage Zakum Solo?
Does anybody know what the fastest Zakum solo time by an Ice/Lightning Archmage in GMS is so far?
I'm at something like ~60 seconds with mine, but I'm shooting to increase my range a bunch more within the next few weeks/months.
Just wanted to know if anybody knew the record (not like I'll actually reach it anytime soon lol) and if there was a video for it or something.
(By the way, I'm talking pre-hyper skills since it looks like we'll all be soloing at ridiculous speeds with that OP attack skill).
Thanks!

[quote=SlovakHocky]I see. However my dilemma is that at the moment a 9.5% speed boost on 6mil damage per hit is better then hitting more on bosses with high enough defense to put me under the damage cap.[/quote]
True, but after unlimited.... =/
[quote=030999]I don't think that's even worth resetting. I couldn't find info on chain lightning's cast speed at speeds faster than Fast (4), but for glacial chain, the delay will go from 930 ms with booster to 870 ms. That's a 6.9% increase in DPS, approximately. I assume chain lightning isn't too far off of that.
EDIT: Actually, according to my best guess for CL delay, the attack speed inner ability will actually increase DPS by about 9.5%. Respectable, but still not as good as 12% boss+12 matk.[/quote]

[quote=SlovakHocky]My inner abilities are 12% boss damage and +12 magic attack. I'm saving up circulators at the moment to try and get attack speed in one big run.[/quote]

[quote=phrostmage]@SlovakHocky: Very good to know. I just remember the boost to my dpm with SI was mindblowing.
Have to make the tough decision to reset a 24 m.atk inner ability now[/quote]
I had the same issue, and I decided to reset my 27 matk inner ability to try to get boss damage or attack speed. I had 3 lines of inner ability, used ~350 special circs... Best I got was rank A boss, but it was only 5%, so I kept circulating. I'm stuck now with 17% buff duration.
[quote=phrostmage]Magic cancel is the biggest killer. ^^ I didnt know the azwan attack speed affected arch mages. I always laughed maniacally when I partied with a bucc or tb with SI.[/quote]
Attack speed of your weapon has no effect on your casting speed, however attack speed boosts such as SI do have an effect on it.
I've done it in about 50 seconds or so. If I got the inner ability I want (attack speed) I'd probably do better.

Oh loool I totally forgot that. My bad.

@Strumpet : WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE. WHAT. I love you too
What does zak even look like on your peoples screens? is he a bunch of numbers flying upwards at a fast pace?
Ehh I can only get about 2min without magic lock/seal
[quote=justsofly]I thought it was like 8 seconds with hypers o.o but then again that i/l was hitting cap with it.[/quote]
EDIT: Made a mistake.

There's a 4 second KMS video on Youtube, but it's post-unlimited.
Jeez, and I was happy with my 5 minutes
[quote=Cokey]With hypers it's like 13 sec w/o I believe it's 50sec? Or 40?[/quote]

I think I managed 42 seconds... but I've long since moved my equips off my I/L.
I can get it down to 55 secs to 1 min depending if Zak uses any mag def up / seal.
I don't think people actually keep records for Zakum anymore, since its become pretty much of a joke of a boss.
