Returning Aran
So it's been a while since i've played my aran, last class i actually made and played for some time was Zero so thats a rough indication of how long it's been. So now with the new changes to aran how do you guys train, do you use TS until you can start spamming FB + BB? (im 170 btw) It just seems like FB + BB is low dps since you have to practically spam BB and hope it works since you cant put it on a macro >_>

wow looks like they take a poop on combo tempest in the seed patch... damn and i wanted to make an aran too maybe ill wait for a revamp
@Pitsta: Mmm, I don't mind being able to spam FB now that true PvP doesn't really exist. I just don't like it being horribly slow and underpowered at the moment.
[quote=DemoDango]@Pitsta: You're looking at an overall DPS difference of less than 10%. Seriously. It's simpler and safer to spam OS, currently.
Tempest is an ideal SH training tool, it's true. The range is insane for an ultimate, and the 150 hyper lets you spam that monster for 30 seconds (about 10 times).
Keep in mind that there's an upcoming update ([url=https://orangemushroom.wordpress.com/2014/01/15/kms-ver-1-2-208-maplestory-you-i-the-seed/]link[/url]) where Arans get a much-needed power boost (survivability is still questionable but whatever). FBBB will actually vastly outdamage OS spam when that patch makes landfall in GMS.
I wish consuming combos to activate a skill would negate the mana cost. That'd be nice. I don't know why they haven't considered that.[/quote]
Thanks a bunch man, i still don't like the fact that they made FB spammable i much rather preferred it to combo off OS, aran just feels so different now.

[quote=DemoDango]...Zero was released less than five months ago. Not much has changed for Arans since their quality-of-life improvements in the patch prior to that.
I generally don't have to worry about building combos on bosses for that attack style because Unlimited Combo + Boss Reverse Combo + combo generation on BB is pretty self-sustaining as long as you use your 150 combo active regularly.
That said, it's usually easier (and only slightly inferior DPS) to just spam Triple Swing. Certainly easier to break the attack chain in the middle if you need to Combat Step out of the way of, say, Gollux's hand.[/quote]
On bosses is it preferred to try use FB + BB for that extra DPS? In saying that, it would be easier to just use TT to train at SH right?
