[quote=InspektaJuice]Is that 825% per dot line forreal ...[/quote]

i dont think it is as BB dosent affect our ADA DoT, so i dont see why BCA will affect it.

Is that 825% per dot line forreal ...

Ah, thank you. I only knew it as sweeping staff.

[quote=lKingAura]We only need to use blood drain Battle master and maple warrior now (yes, not even staff booster). Thats right son, 3 buffs so casting the auras once is not that hard, specially when you rarely die with passive conversion and 80% dodge rate (92% with C.O)[/quote]

92% dodge with decent c.o, how so? what about the % for dark with c.o?

I use Ctrl + X cause... idk. It doesn't hurt anymore if you know where to hit.

Aura buffing will be the death of me... literally. If you die w/o Buff Freezers... goodluck getting them back on. >.<[/quote]

Story of my life. While grinding in hoh it's a hassle going through the chat log to find out what someone else said.

sorry bro, buff freezer dosent work with auras.
because the auras dissapear the MOMENT we die, even if you use the buff freezer, you gotta cast all 3 auras again.
and if you had body boost in your buff when you use buff freezer, guess what? you gotta re-cast BB anyway becaus if you ahve body boost on but no auras, it will only makes you activate one aura, and it wont even be affected by BB then.

tho with the upcoming revamp, when casting BCA, it makes your auras dissapear in your buff list.
so if you die while having BCA and use buff freezer, you should still have the effect of BCA without re-casting your auras. were gonna have to wait wednesday to see that tho

[quote=MegaSage]only problem i have is that bams auras are so bulky and take forever to set up. Maybe if they make a new union aura i might consider making one lol[/quote]

OT: It's not as bad as you think, like what some of the others who have posted said you get used to it. BaMs are a unique breed of mage if you're looking for something different from the other mage classes within Maple. Funding can be a pain but it's worth it if you plan things out right.

I feel like people who haven't been playing BaMs for very long tend to complain about FB+BKB being hard to do, or demand the skill be macro'd. The combo is very easy to do, and if you really need to practice it, you can by turning off all your speed buffs and slowly getting used to it.

you get use to it and learn to time it
if you dont, then youre gonna have a bad time with DR

Your fingers get stronger after a while....

[quote=ImCrunk]just make sure your combo is on the same height on the keyboard, for instance shift + Z is a good combo cuz its close and same height, whereas some people use shift + A wich is terrible for your fingers after an hour[/quote]

You get used to it.

Besides, nobody spams FB+BKB for an hour non-stop.

OT : If you like being a tough badass mage with a crazy range, join the club!

I could see how it couuld get repetitive but hurting fingers! Thats a bit of a stretch. Umm tbh I must of gotten used to using sweeping staff after I attack that I kinda like it. Theres a "flow" when u attack and then tele. Give it a try, we become pretty strong after the revamp on wednesday.

What skill is bkb?

i agree with the two statements above mine.
except that INT isnt the cheapest. (DEX is pretty cheap)

it's extremely repetitive(LF>Macro)
But I love BKB, one of the only reasons why I didn't quit my bam.
Pretty balanced class and like always you're going to need some funding to see some nice dmg(unless you're a zero), a plus is int is the cheapest.
