I/L update So, this forum is really dead (all of Basil is really) and I'm bored, so what did you guys think about our new skill and the change to the way freeze counters work? if you're not up to date, the counters now decrease as we hit the mobs/bosses, so we need to constantly spam frozen orb now along with CL. As for the second I/L 5th job skill, I rather like it, though I think it could have been better, but I find it really helps with grinding and general map clearing. The second Magician 5th job skill, however, is abysmal. (randomly casting any skill from 1st-4th job) The only usage is for Infinity, obviously, but the odds of that are so low.

Not sure if there is still anyone out there but Recently I took a liking to Ice Lightning Mage but I've some questions. 1) +1 Attack Speed or 50% Buff Duration as inner ability? I've seen that the most "recent" thread has most of the users recommend 50% Buff Duration over +1 Attack Speed but I'm unsure how true is it for today. 2) Should I fret myself and fill up the Critical Rate area in Maple Union to achieve 100% Critical Rate? I understand that Critical Damage is the strong point of Ice Lightning Mage but should I worry much about other damage sources' critical rate like Elquines, Blizzard's Final Attack and maybe Thunderstorm, since Frozen Orb and Chain Lightning has higher innate critical rate? Is 75%~80% of Critical Rate sufficient?

Im here to consult the I/Ls mighty wisdom and experience I recently broke through level 200, was way too hyped for doing 5th job which is unavailable yet, but met a setback, for my level my stats are way too low. here are some of my statistics: Boss dmg 140% Range 330-360k buffed/no infinity status resistance: 55 critical 70% my equipment is full ra set, lvl 160 mage boots, accesory set, and reinforced gollux. my biggest problem is this, my internet is terrible so doing long term quests and bosses gives me a high chance of getting lag removed from the game (making tower of oz imposible, or soloing bosses like CHT or PB) what are your recomendations for improving my mage and equipment.

Ice Lightning mages and V.178 patch - Bind persists after using Freezing Breath, which now allows us to take advantage of our own bind now - 5% max critical damage from ice stack changed to 3% critical damage, so a small damage increase (25% max critical damage(12.5% average critical damage) -> 15% critical damage, or 2.5% critical damage increase) - Damage cap is now 10b, so I may test out to see if Oz rings may be viable to use outside of Dojo. - Elquines summon can be cancelled by right clicking the buff Overall, some small changes here and there(documented and undocumented) for us I/L mages, but so far I like it. Feels more consistent to boss now.

V.177, Infinity and Ice Lightning Heya fellow I/L's (if you guys are still alive ._.) Quite happy with the patch so far, bossing became so much faster so I may record and upload some bosses later. For now, I'll just edit this post as I go~ <3 (Chaos Queen)2m38sec -> 1m25sec( ) (Hell Gollux)1m38sec -> 49sec( ) (Chaos Pierre)3m24sec -> 1m15sec(no split Red Pierre!,) (Chaos Von Bon)2m57sec -> 1m20sec( ) (Chaos Vellum)6m25sec -> 4m04sec( -gonna try for under 4min-) So, thoughts of the patch so far?

Elemental Amplification Test Test video: Description directly copied: tl;dr: Elemental Amplfication may not be giving what the description says(50% damage instead of 50% magic attack), and at the same time serves to invalidate someone's previous test video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sIZDQIMKpk). I have tested Elemental Amplification as a response to the question whether it is 50% magic attack, or 50% final damage. This testing only applies to Ice Lightning mages and Fire Poison mages as they have the skill 'Elemental Amplification'. Magic Attack%: 12% from Emblem 30% from Staff 21% from Shield(Secondary) Damage%: +10% from Kanna +10% from Demon Avenger +10% from Chain Lightning Hyper Skill Passive +24% from Hyper Points +12% from Staf
