job change to F/p
hello~
I am pretty set on changing from bishop to F/P in the short future
But I have never played F/P before and would like some tips~~
Some things I really want to know is, what skills will I be using from previous jobs? (I'm guessing meditation and poison mist right off the bet, but anything else?)
And even after reading some stuff about DoT and such, I am a bit confused...
especially as to rotating on using different skills (i guess i cant just spam AR now @_@)
Thanks in advance :}
oh forgot to mention, i am 202, so I will mainly be doing commerci and boss runs

FH has a cooldown.
Thank you all for the help! using poison breath and teleport definitely helped
But I am a bit confused when I am using flame haze.
most of the time, it works great and i just do FH -> paralyze -> ME
but sometimes (usually at bosses at commerci), it says i cant use FH yet and seems to stay that way until I use poison mist separately followed by ME o_o

but I changed back to bishop because i just liked it more
DoT is something like if you use paralyze, it'll do a set amount of damage but if you use poison mist first then paralyze, the damage with increase over time
it last for a decent period of time though[/quote]
I feel like you completely missed the point of being an F/P...

You're obviously going to use your buffs like meditation and such. You are also going to be using your DOT skills to increase the damage of Mist Eruption (main damage output for a FP until you can hit a certain amount with Paralyze) which damage increases depending on the amount of DOT skills a mob is infected by. So, the DOT skills from 1st to 3rd job that you will use are: Poison Breath, Slime Virus (unreliable source of DOT, but still an adorable little booger), Teleport Mastery (use only when training and at bosses without DR, you don't want to accidentally kill yourself), and Poison Mist (can be casted simultaneously when using Flame Haze, a 4th job skill). Then there are 4th job and Hyper skills that will increase your DOT like Flame Haze (2 DOT in 1 skill, Flame Haze itself and Poison Myst), Paralyze, and the Hyper Megiddo Flame. Hopefully this helps you out a bit since I'm pressed for time atm and have to go.
i use all the active skills from previous jobs

it seems like other people are having the same problem judging from the comments ):[/quote]
Oh didn't saw that until now.
Well... i own a F/P Mage, you, of course, use the buffs and if you want to be spammy then just use Paralyze, Poison Mist+Mist Eruption and Flame Haze, also Megido (170 hyper) to stack dot, your teleport mastery has the special effect of also adding DoT so that's a good bonus.
For bossing, just alternate between FH and ME while adding constant DoT with the methods mentioned above and rebuff constantly, that way you will be fine.
