Kiel, useful for SGs?

Guest · Jan 23, 2009, 10:00 PM

true, but the fire ele damage boost it gives you isn't exactly the same as a wep enchantment

thats kinda what i meant, but im not sure if im actually conveying it properly...

A92FL0163 · Jan 23, 2009, 10:14 PM

Weird... I believe it left a long time ago, but now it doesn't leave any bonus fire damage into your attacks (I remember even having those "Enchant" buff that the sages give to you when I used it.), it might have changed, I'll go into test server to check it
Yeah, I tested it and it does leave a fire damage on your weapon, did using a swordsman with a non-elemental sword (Sword [3]) against a whisper, it let me hit it for a while then I started missing again.
You can go into the test server and test it if you want. Also, you can try using it then going to hit a fire elemental monster like a Horong, it will display no damage.

I already know :B I was the one saying it did that.

NEW QUESTION AT HAND: WHICH IS THE BEST HEADGEAR FOR A PVP STAR GLAD? PHAROH AND MAYA PURPLE OR KIEL + MAYA PURPLE?
My buddy tells me I need agi to reduce the after-cast of Running so I can use FSK right after (and get the bonus). Is there an after-cast delay on FSK?

So yeah, I believe that's basically it.

How much equip-armor is too much against Thanatos? 34%?

A92FL0163 · Jan 23, 2009, 11:18 PM

Oh Sorry.

FSK does not give any bonus, it just debuff your target from Soul Buffs, I believe you're talking about Running/Sprint skill, which does not have any virtually cooldown time. AGI does not reduce after cast cooldown, only on skills that are based on ASPD.
I'm not very good at suggesting equips, so I won't suggest anything. :B
Also, 50 armour is already big enough to get you instantly knocked out, so you better keep between 30~40. For WoE, I can't certainly tell but most people who use Ice Picks and Thanatos Cards go into Emperium Breaking, so you can have a bit more Armour, but if your server allow card buying or there is a great number Ice Picks in player hands, that might not work.

Xeighter · Jan 24, 2009, 01:54 AM

nono, I'm making a PVP SG. Haha, I decided to leave Emp. Breaking for my LK :3

So I guess no Kiel is needed.
And are you sure about AGI not affecting the after-cast delay and preventing me from using FSK? Certain?

Well, I wanted to get Tao Gunka for PVP, but I need gear to regain what I lost by the -50 DEF and bring it to around 30-40.
As for MDEF, does GTB (it got nerfed to 70%) cover it or can you suggest a bit more mdef equips.

Feather beret

NO.

No card slot.
Not that redeeming of a hat-gear for midrate.

Omi · Jan 24, 2009, 12:04 PM

sgs don't need any head gear cards besides from vanberk for damage boost

feather beret is the best, and if you don't use it, you will die from the 10% extra damage you're recieving. thats how useful it is.

edit : with tao gunka, the most defense you'll get is 8 - 10 on a SG.

Xeighter · Jan 24, 2009, 12:13 PM

What about Maya Purple?
Or Pharoh to reduce the cost of warmth and High Jump?

Are you sure only 10? Even with +10 gear?

You wouldn't need pharaoh ever. I can manage my sp easily with only 600 max SP on a 99/50 server, you have a 255 cap, so you could have atleast 3k SP without any int.

Maya Purple won't be needed, because you won't kill cloaking classes anyway. An assassin cross will be your enemy, along with stalkers because of full strip / plagarising whatever they use.

Yes, the most you'll ever get is that much with tao. Using the best gears a SG can get defense wise, I have 67 defense. 19 of this defense is from an equipment set too.

Xeighter · Jan 24, 2009, 02:24 PM

Don't I need Maya Purple to stay away from Sin X Card users and stalkers with bows (High-jump away, come back and FSK them).
I still have Sun Glasses [1] even with the Feather Beret, what card should I put in them?

So I guess 19 defense isn't worth it.

Here's what I got so far:

Ulle's Cap + Maya Purple
Sunglasses + Pharoh
Odin's Blessing (Bonus) + Garm/ GS/ I don't know what to put in here
Manteau + Sin X card/ Deviling (Hey, can I warm users who are hidden and I am standing next to them, hidden as well?)
Boots + Moonlight/ I don't know what to put in here.
2x Str Rings + Double Ifrit Cards

I'm sure you can suggest better things here D:

A92FL0163 · Jan 24, 2009, 02:30 PM

Yes you can, but your SP will be drained at a giant rate, so you better have some Blue Potions or Grape Juice.

Omi · Jan 24, 2009, 02:46 PM

I've only played 99/70 servers in my lifetime of RO, so from that point of view..

Ulle's Cap - Change to either a feather beret or a magni's cap, both +7'd or something
Sunglasses[1] - You could use a maya purple in that case, pharaoh is not needed, especially since you can just carry pots
Odin's Blessing - Fine, but get it +7'd also if possible
Manteau - Fine, but high refine it if possible
Boots - Get another pair with a green ferus card but the +10% HP boost, +8 them
Rings - fine
Stone Buckler - +8 it, thara card, prepare to recieve a nice +5 defense boost along with the set

Xeighter · Jan 24, 2009, 02:59 PM

Why 7?

And no valk shield? Will I just die to mages?
I have GTB though :x

Omi · Jan 24, 2009, 03:23 PM

put gtb or thara in the stone buckler.

Stone Buckler because it offers 13 defense at +4, and 20 defense at +10 with the set, which makes it the best defensive shield in the server when you don't have a valkyrie (and nearly any class can get it to boot)
