Paladin Pink Bean Solo

With inspiration from this dood, @alex168 : , I went ahead and tried my own Pink Bean solo as a Paladin and I succeeded on my first run .

[quote=Sephie]@George105 : Pretty sure Threaten just takes away from the total.

50% off of the 90% + 30% off of the 90% = 80% off the 90% (since it's multiplicative).[/quote]

the way i remember southperry explaining it is that the 90% became 45%, and then your PDR was based from this new defense value of 45. (or was it a flat -50?) important part is the second one though.

i already said it on SP, but gratz!

@ShMaiz3R : Yeah, it's a typo. I get confused because the direction they face is different from where they're placed on the map.

Single charge gives 40% and resistance takes away 50% but I figure the mastery bonus would more or less even it out and it's frustrating to not be able to ACB the summons.

I gotta test out the new Soul Driver since it's like twice as fast now .

And thanks .

How did you even kill ariel? I find it a pain just to hit her consistently -_-

Is this a typo? Because the bird on the left is ice-weak, while the one on the right is fire-weak. And Ariel is strong to all elements including Lighting.

Anyway, congrats!

Congrats! And yea I saw a video of a Paladin soloing Pink Bean BEFORE charges got boosted and Blast was a 340% x 3 hit. (Which was a Pre-UA Revamp Paladin). Of course it was possible. That guy did it.

Sweet, I'll take a crack at it once I hit 130k or so to be safe since I don't have as much PDR. I need to be level 180 to not miss, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can get 100% PDR. I thought it was 50% PDR then 30% of the remaining 50% is reduced instead of it adding on and being 80%.
Again, I'm not entirely sure how it works. It's just a theory that popped into my head just now.

[quote=ssj3500]I knew it was possible, will there be a video coming soon?[/quote]
I knew for sure it was possible after the revamp... though I was really curious if it was possible before the revamp. I might make a video soon since I know I can do it ;p.

[quote=ssj3500]did you end up using the resist potion?[/quote]
No. Paladins don't need resist potions. You should never be at risk of seduce at any point of the fight. ACB can reach the right birdy safely.
Only reason you'll ever need resist potion is if you can't reach the right birdy or if you can't kill it fast enough to make good time (Hero's case).

[quote=ssj3500]What's your range/boss damage/pdr?[/quote]
120k range, I think 80% Boss damage, 50% PDR + 30% from Threaten. Blast has a 30% chance to ignore 100% of it; after revamp, it's a flat 30% PDR, giving me over 100%.

[quote=ssj3500]What did you end up doing for charges?[/quote]
Fire+Lightning for left statues, Ice+Lightning for right statues, Lightning only for Ariel, Lightning only for Pink Bean.

[quote=ssj3500]And how much damage were you doing with all the reductions?[/quote]
Wisemans+Birdies get hit max with anything. Jump + ACB.
Ariel gets hit for around 600k x 4. Jump + Blast.
PB gets hit for 600k x 4.

[quote=alex168]That was your first ever PB kill? O_O. Also gratz. Now all 3 original warriors have soloed PB yay.[/quote]
First PB run ever in my Maple life. It's a solo + victory :>

Also a few questions as I'm considering trying it myself once I finish prequests, did you end up using the resist potion? What's your range/boss damage/pdr? What did you end up doing for charges? And how much damage were you doing with all the reductions?

Wow, I've never imagined soloing pb/empress due to the whole elemental thing...
I think I'm gonna atleast give soloing PB a shot; thanks for giving me hope.
