it suxs that we cant cross servers... cause id like to see that indestructability be tested against trig :D
I'm in the process of duplicating Zyrus's setup, so all you'd see if that ever happened would be a bunch of blue 1's over our heads. =
Btw, Zyrus, I really gotta thank you for finally throwing out something new. Saix and I have analyzed and re-analyzed and re-re-analyzed magic inside and out, and you've given us something new to crunch numbers with.

lol. Well at 100% my data as tested is this:
Against range max damage of 225 human single shot 100 shots: Average damage was 31
Against r1 lightening bolt user had 530 int 100 shots : Average damage was 6
Against Melee 265 max damage ego (not duel wielded) average damage was 38.
anything less than 125 damage came in as 1.
25 r1 smashes with ego in trans max damage 414 = Average damage 267 crit 565
25 r1 magnums with ego in trans max damage 374 = Average damage 234 crit 482
Thats all at 100% in duel for testing. Since 90% of mobs hit for less than 125 damage 90% of the hits i take anywhere are 1's. Add in the fact that I am pot poisened and mp100=mp250ish. It takes a hit of about 7k in order to kill me. If its 5k and under it wont even clear the mana shield. So if I do get hit by 5k i simply chug 2 pots fast and nearly back to 100% mana health.
I went out in dunbarten one day with EVG on and had something like 10-12 people camping me but unable to kill me for 20 mins. and that was only cause I ran out of mp pots + someone over level 2k came and r1 magnum and r1 smashed me.

If it's actually possible, I'm setting up an alt on the bank. =P But as far as I or anyone I know knows, it can't be done at river's end.
Never!
Does this includes spamming MP potions in the middle of the river? Because I hate wasting MP potions for something as measly as GRINDING LEVELS :(

...That's the best thing you could possibly spend your MP on. =P Assuming you only use a single 2x EXP potion and start spamming at level 30-40, it'll take 6-10 stacks of MP100's to keep your spam attacks going (depends on your max MP, because level-up will recharge you to max and the more MP you have the longer you can go without using potions). It is so worth it.

Whether or not you can do it, Who wants to spend 3hours Alone, Spamming pots, And hoping to not die? Even if it is for a extraordinary amount of EXP the actual point of deciding to spend so much time alone just....Eludes me, Might aswell sit in your room and masterbate for 3 hours straight~

The point is that you CAN do it, and once you're done you have the rest of the week to train skills, market items, or play other games alone or with friends. Time is money, remember.

You can't call it "Magic Master" because I already coined that term back in May '09, when I mastered the seven major spells -- Firebolt, Icebolt, Lightning Bolt, Fireball, Ice Spear, Thunder, and Healing. When Blaze comes out it'll be added to the list; same goes for any spell that becomes masterable, like Party Healing in G11.
I believe Zyrus calls it Mana Master because it's all about using mana both defensively and offensively, for just about everything. In other words, mana is all-pervasive.

I believe our discussion was about riverwalking and spamming magic for a few hours to gain levels, not about the Mana Master build. And who says that you can't get your fun out of being a solo powerhouse? Not everyone plays for the same reason, you know, and almost all reasons for playing are valid ones no matter how ridiculous they may seem to you or anyone else.

Be quiet. If you only want to comment to put someone down then don't open your mouth.

So, whats your opinion on Giant Mages, Zyrus?

Trigger wrote on 2010-05-29 17:16
I think I speak for all mages, giant mages included, when I say that giants are not easy to build into powerful mages. It's not impossible to play as a giant mage, but it's certainly more difficult and will cost more money than a human or elf would spend. If anyone is an authority on playing a giant mage, though, it's Vejosa of Mari; talk to her if you want to know more specifics.

Hmm..thanks Trigger. Do you think it'd be wise, once I max out my combat to dive into magic? It seems really useful, and mana shield would be great.
