[quote=EpicHigh]Hey, what do you think about Oz's Flame Gear because you didn't rate it in this guide. Do you think it impacts the DPS of a F/P mage?[/quote]

Unfortunately this section was too long, so the rest of the Skills, Hyper Skills, and Skill Builds won't be posted until tomorrow because I reached the max new thread limit

To answer your question, I think it positively impacts a F/P Mage's DPS. Look at it this way:

Let's say our options are to A) Cast Paralyze twice and wait for 18 seconds or B) Caste Para and FG once each and wait for 18 seconds
1 cast of Oz's Flame Gear inflicts 280% damage with 100% DoT for 18 seconds (Assuming you have max Flame Gear and Burning Magic)
1 cast of Paralyze inflicts 220% damage 7 times (Assuming Paralyze is maxed and you put points into the Reinforce and Extra Attack hypers for Para and you maxed Burning Magic) with 180% DoT for 18 seconds.

A)3,080% initial damage; 3,240% DoT for 18 seconds; 6,320% total
B)1,820% initial damage; 5,040% DoT for 18 seconds; 6,860% total

Difference: 540% damage. It's definitely more, but not really that much. The difference is pretty much a little more than one hit of Inferno Aura.

Hope that helps

[quote=IImaplers]Small note: The following is the most unintentionally hilarious/perverted yet brilliant part of the guide if you read it the wrong way:

"You will need 40 pieces of courage, which can be found in a map that Carta will grant you access to if you give her a mini Pianus. Pro Tip: The best way to get Mini Pianuses is to summon Pianus in the Evolution World. .... Once you receive the Firm Hand, just click on it to get the skill."

The Firm Hand and Small/Big Pianuses. Nothing weird about that haha.[/quote]

Oh wow I didn't even realize xD
It's a keeper

@IImaplers don't worry. a friend and I have teased someone endlessly at Pianus while we were camping there and had nothing to do. ah, she was so ignorant ;D
