At least everyone now has a better fighting chance rather than a 12:00am PST release time (EST player here )

[quote=doc]@j1mm13valadez: I'm worried about bossing too. And judging from hyper skills and videos, F/p's outshine Luminous by a long shot. The reasoning for my switch is i'm just sick of being a fire mage. I've been one since beta. This is my 3rd 200 f/p, believe it or not.[/quote]

That's a lot of F/Ps. Why not an I/L or some other class?

@doc: Well Fp mage is where you wanna be when they decide to raise the cap to 50 mil. I've spent a lot of time on a fp mage as well and I enjoy them.

It's not a better fighting chance if most players will be at school. At least if it's at 12 most players would have the choice in participating.

@doc: Oh very nice, That's a decent amount of int. I think without nebs I'm near around 320% or so , and if you want to throw the nebs into it i'm near around 400ish %. I won't be xfering everything at first till I get a feel for the class and if I decide if i like it or not. From the videos and stuff it def looks like a fun class to play , but the only thing i'm worried about is bossing abilities. That's one of my favorite things to do , so if they lack in that area too much i'm going to pass on it.

@j1mm13valadez: I'm happy with it. But heck, I wouldn't mind 300% int. I'm sitting at 254% int without anything on my gloves but decents. I guess one of your edges, judging that you're in Scania, is that I don't have the ability to 4% neb everything. But I don't know your gear and I won't assume anything.

[quote=RiverStar]Usually mages don't get more slots when we advance but maybe Luminous is different. What is the link skill btw?[/quote]
Don't they get a few more Use slots or something?
Anyways, Link Skill is 10%PDR at level 70, *and 15%PDR at level 120.
*When KMS's recent patches make their way to GMS.

Blow through to 120, leave it to gather dust.
I'm not much for Mages.

@doc: Yea, that's going to be my goal as well. I never gave up on range increasing, I mean I don't go crazy, but just upgrade little by little. Impressive range btw :-D you're one in a handful .

[quote=j1mm13valadez]You may be the first luminous , but i'll be the strongest I don't get the point of rushing to 200. I'm planning on just having a good time with it. Anyways good luck to you .[/quote]

As long as I cap with reflection and apocalypse w/o anything higher than a NLC mage potion, I won't care about strength past that. I gave up on range increasing with a 200k range on my fire mage.

Heh, me too. I'll play it slowly for the first job, since they've got story-line quests. Once I hit 2nd job, I might lose interest and just zoom through the levels.

@Oboromuramasa: What's to enjoy? You can't really do anything until at least 3rd job. I'd probably say at least 4th job now that it's level 100.

[quote=Plethor]Fighting chance? I would say the longer you wait the [i]more[/i] of a fighting chance you have at actually finding a training spot.[/quote]

I'd rather fight over a map then let PST people have a 3 hour edge on me (Assuming I could've waken up at 6am)

Unless you're in a dead world/world-alliance, it would be silly to try and train at the conventional training spots.

I'm personally going to train in spots with mini dungeons, or spots like sleepy wood dungeon, Orbis lion maps, etc...
