Battle Mage questions.
I'm going to make a Battle Mage after BB, I'm in the process of stripping and selling everything on my archer which apparently will give me around 500m <~lol
I'm wondering what type of equips I should be looking out for, I know staffs for sure obviously. I'm planning on keeping my Luk around 50~70, if any mages would like to say their luk and help me find out whats a good number to cap my Luk, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 15/17/15/15 zhelm w/ +6 potential luk, so I'm thinking of keeping it until I can get a targa helm that's better than it w/ potential.
I'm thinking if I have 60 luk base, and have just a zhelm on which would make my luk 81, ill have just enough stats for a DDS. Ill be using a 3rd unwelcome guest staff 'til I get one, though. Also, I'll have just enough luk for the level 78 overall/shoes/gloves which I think is fine because it's 3rd tier. But my friend said I might have to put my luk higher for accuracy and for better equips and weapon, specifically an ele staff. I don't know if the 'dark' element will be held to the damage reduction w/ the ele staff after BB, so I'm still iffy w/ that.
I'm thinking it's good at 60 though, because of all that and maybe I could scroll my shield for luk, or would that be bad?
Also, would it be cheaper/more efficient to scroll for int or luk?
And what equips should I be looking at w/ 500~600m funding?

[quote=TikeyMasta]Dark is indeed an element and it can be seen with an Evan's Killing Wings, Phantom Imprint, and Dark Fog attack.
All undead monsters are resistant to Dark, with some bosses also resistant to Dark (mainly only the bosses that resist everything). There are only two monsters that are weak to Dark which are two of the CZak summons. There are no monsters that are immune to Dark. That being said, the only attacks that BaMs have that have the Dark element are Dark Lightning and Dark Genesis, all of their other attacks are neutral.
Also, Elemental Weapons have no Dark multiplier so attacks with the Dark element will not get a bonus or a reduction. Don't know if this will hold true after BB though.[/quote]
So would it still be worth it getting a Ele staff? and there not be a reduction on dark elements (like if i used it now) if i used ele staff 8?
Should I just get a really good scrolled DDS? cause whenever i see a video or someone talking about BB they use a DDS vs a ele staff for speed, i think.

Oh yeah, I can do a Dep star but I don't think I can do a HTP : Aren't those like mad expensive? I'm thinking of saving up for a CHTP maybe for the HP bonus. and maybe itll help me get a ele staff if it doesn't do effect anythin after BB.
[quote=Bello]Dark "element" is not a element.. Like there is no dark element or dark-weak/strong/immune monsters.... They currently r nuetral even though it looks like a dark element... Now there might be a dark element in tha future but there isn't one atm... So battle mages will not be affected by the ele staffs[/quote]
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but it might change after BB. And that was what I'm kind of worried about.
