Elemental Staves and BattleMage Hate This has to end. Few things boil my blood as much as being told as a Battlemage, I shouldn't be using an elemental staff, because it's not "mine". Somehow, huffy Evans, i/L mages and f/p mages are getting their nickers in a wad because Battlemages like to use elemental staves. What weapon I choose to use is my own. It is not YOUR job to tell me what I can and cannot use. There is no rule that says only YOU GUYS get to use elemental staves. It's the best weapon we battlemages can currently use, as well as all other mages except bishops. Best example I've seen in a while: [quote=evyxx]Alright, answer me this: If there was a staff with the same attack speed and everything as ele staves, would you
Battlemage Keyboard Layouts We have quite a few skills by fourth job and I've heard of people using some weird layouts for their BaMs, so... Post your keyboard layout for your BaM. Draw on fingers for finger placement, too, in MS paint (or something else, doesn't matter really). If you got macros, explain em, please. [url=http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3373/maple0003b.jpg]Mine[/url] Home macro = booster + drain + conversion Pg Up = stance + reaper Pg Down = dSE + dCO + dHaste

Inner Ability Reroll? Honor's a lot easier to get now with bosses dropping the new medals. Right now I have legendary inner potential: 36 INT 15% boss damage crap Is it worth it to reroll this potential? Should I reroll and hold onto to the 15% boss line? (Since the boss damage is on the second line, and the first line has the best chance for good potentials like attack speed) Or just reroll keeping the rank?
Would you prefer to keep our class how it is now? This is a question for battlemages. The new revamp in KMS is, at best, controversial. There are some that like it entirely, some that hate it, and some that only want parts of it. This thread is to gauge GMS's community's take on this revamp. The poll is do you want us exactly as we are now, or do we take the new update. There's no in-between here. You must choose between us as we are now vs the new update. For reference, the update I'm referring to is here: The reason I ask this is because, in recent years, Nexon America has been more open to changing the mechanics of our version without it being from a KMS patch. If there's enough support for it, it's entirely possible for GMS to avoid thi
Do advanced auras stack? The description of normal auras says that they don't stack, but the advanced version don't have that in them. Do advanced auras stack or not? I can't tell yet because I only have adv blue aura. :<
200% Mad - Kmst 1.2.019 changes WARNING: RANT. This info is also highly subject to change considering it's a KMST patch, and a new one at that. More tweaking to come. Once again, Bams get a nerf and every other mage gets am arguable buff. To clarify: KMS recently made clarifications about damage%, att%, and final damage%. Final damage% is applied separately from boss damage. They reduced eleresist on i/L and f/p and evan from 100% to 10%, but gave them 50% final damage as a passive for it. For bishop, vengeance goes from 25% to 10% ele resist ignore and they get 10% final damage. For lumi, they got their ele resist reduced to 10%, but gained 40% final damage. For Blaze Wizard? Reduced ele resist ignore form 100% to 70%. SEVENTY PERCENT. PLU
Nexon threw us a small bone "We would like to compensate them for the changes to elemental resistance reduction skills." "Debuff Aura - Elemental Reset: in addition to existing effects, now increases your attacks' final damage on enemies affected by Debuff Aura" No word yet on the actual number, but hey, finally an end to the nerfs? It's a hyper skill, so it's likely only 10% or something. I guess they finally realized they left out bams in that whole "let's give all the other mages (sans kanna and BT which they don't have, iirc) 50/70% final damage! :D" They still don't realize or don't care that they're only measuring our dps based on a flawless connection and perfect control. also, offtopic, but RIP kaiser h
P/C on Estaff 7 in Scania How much are clean estaff 7s in mesos? Also...how much would an "ok" scrolled one cost?
What do you think your rank would be if they weren't any of these botters? [url=http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8949/rankso.png]Like this[/url] I think I'd move up about 500~600 ranks if there weren't so many BaM botters.
I want my defense back Pre Chaos: 3000 weapon def Post Chaos: 1700 weapon def Int no longer adds ANY weapon defense. We are a melee class, so we need a fair amount of weapon defense. Energizer isn't even worth it anymore for me. Is anyone else upset about this? I'm taking 4.4Ks from skeles and it's getting really annoying, since I was taking 3K at best from them before. And my new laptop has a strange layout that makes it harder for me to pot.
Video Comparison Before and After Revamp EDIT: Video Quality should improve in a few minutes. It's 720p, but currently only 360p is available. czak, madman and hard gollux before and after. I was actually surprised by the after times. Equips are the same in both videos. Held off on miracle time just for this.
Attack Speed Issue? I've been up all night, so I may just be wrong, but wtf is going on with my attack speed? Video: to be added later. currently uploading Basically: I'm attacking faster with a normal (6) staff than my fafnir, but the math says I should be capping at faster (2) with both: fafnir is 8. booster is 2, yellow passive is 2, dSI is 1, yellow active is 1. that's 8 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1= 2 I timed it and I'm getting ~96 per minute with the fafnir, but ~108 per minute with the normal speed staff. What's going on? Is booster only 1? Is dSI broken? Does dSI go over cap speed somehow? I just don't get it.
Tips for Hard Gollux? Now that I'v moved back to my battlemage from my bishop, I'm having a much harder time with gollux, specifically the eyes. Before, I could consistently solo hard mode, but now I can't even get the eyes past 25% damage. As a battlemage, what kind of strategy should I use for eyes?
What does battlemage need in a revamp? This is sort of a fun thread. Let's analyze our class and look at our strengths and weaknesses and try to determine where we could use revamps or new features. 5th job speculation is also up for discussion. This of this as a wishlist for making a better battlemage class. Things I want: -Change to Grand Light Aura (or BCA if you prefer) that replaces, rather than is used alongside bodyboost. Basically, I'd like this skill to auto-cast (without animations) all 3 auras while giving its boost. I'd also like it if they let party members continue to get base aura while this skill is active. -Staff Expert: add in 50% buff mastery like explorer mages have -Battle Mastery (3rd) add 20% elemental resistance igno
Battlemage Hyper Stats Which ones are you guys going with? I'm still thinking it over, but I think I'm going to get like 3% status resist (will give me 100% with blue aura alone), 10% crit rate, enough PDR ignore to get over 90%, and like 5% min crit (will give me 99~99% crit damage with kinesis link skill). I'll probably dump the rest in damage% and boss damage%. Maybe HP% instead, since I wanna maintain enough to tank empress/ark DR.
