Tips for Horntail? Hi everyone. I recently came back to Maple after being gone for over a year. I was playing in the Reboot server before I left, so when I came back I decided to start training a F/P mage there. I've been loving it so far, but I find that I'm having a ton of trouble with HT, so I have a few questions. First, is it worth it to add hyper stat points into stance? I hate being knocked around all the time by bosses. Although I know it only adds 10%, it feels like it'd be useful. Second, how should I go about fighting HT? When I use Flame Haze, it places the mist at the legs, so it's almost useless when I'm fighting any other parts of the body. Should I just be using Paralyze at HT? Does anybody have any good tips?

Coming back to maple, should i make an fp mage in reboot? So im coming back to maple after a while and i plan on coming to reboot. I was wondering if fp mages are good. Their playstyle seems interesting with the dots and stacks, but i hear they got nerfed a while ago (long time ago, but after i had stopped playing).I was wondering how their mobbing/bossing is? Also i was wondering what other classes there are with a teleport (rather than double jump) spell there are. I dont really want to make an evan, and i dont want to make an I/L because my friend is making one with me. Im not sure if there are any more classes with a teleport spell, and if there are, how do they compare to f/p in mobbing/bossing?

Maplestory F/p Mage 5th Job Question So the F/p mage's 5th job skill summons fireballs Here's the newest description, as all 5th job skills got changed.

Does Flame Gear stack to increase Mist Eruption damage? I am a noob and I hate using teleport during bossing to apply the DoT. My question is, does flame gear stack with mist so that both count as seperate DoT for Mist Eruption? I found this video after a bit of searching: So according to this video, I have to hit the monster first for them to stack. But it seems like even when they are stacking, it just shows one combined number. does this mean there's only 1 DoT? (no added stack for eruption when combined?) Thanks!

Bossing After a 6-year Break Preface: It's been 6 years since I've last played Maplestory, so naturally I'm very confused with the plethora of updates since then. I'm also not up-to-date on acronyms, so if you are generous enough to leave a reply, I'd like to also ask you to spell out the full names of items/attacks/enemies/etc. since I won't recognize the acronyms. I'm a lvl 158 F/P Arch Mage. I want to know whether I should still grind for levels, or if I can start solo-ing some bosses to make some money (I'd prefer to boss if I can manage it, but I'm okay with grinding for levels if I have to). Current Status: ~With buffs, "Damage" is 22168-23334 ~Hyper Stats: I might have messed this up...but I put a ton of my points into Hype

[Reboot] F/P questions -Whats the best secondary for adventurer mages, the book or look for a shield? -I know monsters have more HP but do bosses also? (in reboot) -with the nerf is our bossing obsolete or are f/ps still top? Also what is the new bossing strategy -what are the 5 DoTs applied during bossing in 4th job, a lot of threads i see argue over poison breath -What should i invest my hypers in? I haven't played since the upgraded hyperskill buff so I'm pretty confused
