When I left, I accomplished my goal of soloing Empress. I used to kill the minions every day and I finally became strong enough to defeat her just before whatever update made her so much harder. I wanted to leave it at that, but I had to drop back in [/quote]

[quote=Radiating]Dbers are BAe <3. Currently maining one but I still remember when they first came out <3 one of the most hated classes at the time cause they were ks gods with flying assualter and not to mention spammable sudden raid. I also remember the lovely full day unscheduled s/c we had after they came out and the rollbacks . Good times.[/quote]

LOL yeah. My friend was like, go to those ghosts (where black crow spawns) at level 100 and you'll be unstoppable. I went and got 2 hitted.
I believe I got to like 72-78 before big bang hit, still being my highest level after my 2006 assassin at level 56. I remember doing ghost ship PQ with other DBs who said to raise flying assaulter, but I always preferred upper stab. When blade fury's screenshot was posted on orangemushroom, I thought it would be a hold-down skill that spins infinitely
Back then people with chains of hell did like 6-8k lines

@iEatNoobz wow stronk, I didn't cap with PB until like March-April ish 2013? (like 4 months before unleashed). I remember duoing madman ranmaru with my DB friend, at the time there was a glitch that if you killed it, left party (got sent to the respawn map), and reentered enough times, the NPC would respawn so we would kill it at least twice. The crafted items actually sold quite a bit for me at 1-1.5b for the one-handed sword. Also my shadower friend (who was a lot stronger than me) needed me to kill evolving world empress for him cause he didn't have the asura burst damage before it healed

I've been around since before pirates were introduced, maybe 9 years. I started playing in second grade or third grade and I've graduated high school and going into college now. This game has brought me lots of fun and many memories with friends. I hope the nostalgia continues over time.

For our anniversary, they should issue out owl pets!
Speaking of pets, when are they gonna make pets have attack skills?
Imagine having an owl pet that uses a mini Asura-like skill, while you use Asura? <3
Welp, enough dreaming. Happy 5th Anniversary!

DB was my first main and my first lv 200, but I switched over to NL, and eventually NW.
DB was also the first class that I hit all caps on a boss with a non-ultimate skill (PB), right after hyper skills came out http://i.imgur.com/4IVoSw5.jpg.
Back then I used a whole bunch of anvils equips because I was addicted to tradable equips. I used a dragon kanzir anviled to look like an empress dagger ( http://i.imgur.com/qgX6nIy.png) and a meteor katara anviled to look like a UWG katara ( http://i.imgur.com/RTi349S.png).
DB was also the class that I first achieved 50k range clean, 100k range clean, top 10 dojo gloves, and my first 500k per line with a non-ultimate skill (PB). I stopped keeping track of milestones after Unleashed though.
I was hitting 6-7m per line on PB when I switched, and now I hit 40m per line with quintuple throw on my NW, so I'm kind of interested in switching back to DB now to see some dramatically increased PB damage and what kind of damage I do with Asura
Edit: Wow, the more I think about it, the more I remember how much I achieved on my DB. Then again, it was the main that lasted the longest for me. R.I.P. iBangKira, maybe one day he'll be reborn.

Thanks for the shout out. You also have achieved a lot. You managed to kill Alice first try when you reached floor 50 of oz. Though the timer was close as can be. But that's what makes it clutch.

As for my favorite personal achievement.
The morning that hyper skills came out long ago... I got on immediately after the patch ended and was ready and waiting in the empress entrance map. Because of Asura DB finally had the damage to kill her before timing out. So I went in (this was like 30 seconds after the game went up). Ended up killing her with about 3.5 minutes to spare. She dropped tons of weapons... they use to be most glorious boss drops ever.
P.s. the irony in all this is that I never owned or used empress gear. I used a VL dagger VIP katara and lv80-90 armors. I sold all the empress drops I got never keeping a set for myself. Haha .[/quote]

I remember waiting for unleashed like, "I think I should hit around 10m on final cut". Ended up doing like 3m LOL. And then dojo was stupidly buffed.

@lycanthropods this is true. Time to celebrate all the wasted money.

Being a dual blade with one of the original dual blade masks (only the green mask ), it makes me feel proud to be one of the originals

This also marks the 5 year anniversary of having the potential and enhancement system in the game.

Being the existence of a Dual Blade with Time Traveler Medal, is already a good enough reason as an accomplishment for me.

However, I have progressed and reached many goals I haven't back then during Pre-Big Bang era, my Fire/Poison Arch Mage that existed even before the third job release, it was lacking something that didn't push me foward.

Starting out again as that fresh new Blade Recruit when they first arrived, at the very least, I can say that it's been quite an adventure.

I quit my db thrice and now I'm giving it another go. Fourth times the charm.
