[quote=DeTemplari]I know SoMB has been completely wiped out, but you guys can't hurricane walk anymore?[/quote]

Oh you can but Magnus is such a dps punching bag its almost pointless to do.

@nikeball123: nope...vip earrings

@ketchup11 I think @bowmushro0m will.

@nikeball123: there is a video of a mercedes successfully soloing it, along with phantoms, shadowers, dual blades, luminous, proxied, etc.
come hypers I'm sure it will at least be possible, dunno if anyone in gms will actually fund a bm that much though

That's why you party?

@twopointonefour: Was talking about Azwan not magnus. but now I see what your talking about.

[quote=nikeball123]I tried it. It's impossible to beat it even if you hit cap.
Also, normal mode magnus only gives like 7-10 coins on 2x.[/quote]
which part is it exactly, that makes it impossible?

@bluebomber24: Well.. he's a boss so he doesn't miss lol. I've never had the final tower miss me ever.

@twopointonefour: What do you mean like Azwan? You mean the final tower, cuz I do get Misses in Azwan.

@bluebomber24: I think it's like Azwan. So they do a % of your HP or all of your HP. I don't think I've seen a single miss while I was there..

@omega12311: It's not that it isn't working it's just that Magnus is physical Resistant.

@bowmushro0m Which equips got deleted? 20atk earrings? o-o

[quote=omega12311]My DB gets hit 100% against magnus no that's just bs and my Boss % doesn't work either.[/quote]

So...pretty much skill and luck is the only way you can dodge, guess I may not get the Inner ability......that's actually fun, hard bosses should be challenging.

[quote=twopointonefour]I have so many buffs and so little time to buff... The poison gas sprayers are what really get me, cause i'll be paralyzed and then magnus will come over with his rush and knock me into an orb killing me.

I don't really mind the orbs cause I do have double jump and 160% speed and all it's just being rushed into them and having illusion step unable to activate cause all of Magnus' attacks are basically 100% hit with no chance to miss.[/quote]

What....Illusion Step is deactivated.....Avoidability percentage inner abiltiy here I come.

i lost motivation to play my bm shortly after i lost my earrings :C (25% dex +20 dex) but yesterday i got used a scroll to add 5/2/2/2 and 5 atk to a tempest ring ._. so i'm thinking i'm gonna cube it to 15% dex, and then get 15% dex earrings. with 4% dex from two 2% dex nebulites, i'll more than recover my losses n.n after that i'll try magnus.

strafe?

[quote=KilIerCombo]Ranged classes get hurt the same amount as melee classes just so you know... so survivability is the same for mostly everyone. Magnus does damage based on your max hp, he normally only takes away 65% of your hp with some skills but some skills do 1hko. However, arans and bams can survive easier with their drain buffs.[/quote]
Yeah I know o.o

Huh sounds like it's a good thing that I pretty much have to wait until Hypers when we get movable hurricane anyway.

[quote=Ecyz]Everything. Ranged class in general get wrecked in Magnus, especially since you can't move while in Hurricane to avoid the falling orbs. Hurricane also has a small end-animation so it makes it even harder to avoid the orbs.
Not being able to avoid the orbs means dying a lot. Dying a lot means the Safe Area becomes smaller and smaller meaning you have to hug Magnus in order to deal any damage. If you hug Magnus, you're gonna die.[/quote]

That was a goooooood hug

[quote=airforce1]Unfortunately, I left my desktop behind during the holidays so I'm stuck with a crappy laptop that barely runs maple. I'm really looking forward to attempting to duo normal mode Magnus with my Kaiser buddy when I get back.

What exactly was stacked against you?[/quote]

My guess is BMs can't truly jump attack or have high reaching attacks. While Magnus flies, some classes can still be able to keep attacking, whereas BMs cannot. Other issue is having to constantly move to avoid damage would make hurricane damage suffer because BMs have to stand in one spot and hold hurricane to max damage output. Burst damages are better instead of staying in one spot to hold down the key. Example would be a NL hitting one key to throw 8 stars, and quickly can move away, but a BM would need to hold it down for .5-1 sec at least, leaving him vulnerable to damages. But, that just makes it more challenging playing as a BM.
