how much INT do you need to break even come G13?

• sakraycore wrote on 2011-01-04 17:34
  Like to not lose any damage or gain any damage for bolt spells and without any G13 mastery skills?
• Tatsigi wrote on 2011-01-04 17:40
  for bolt spells you need maybe 10int for them to do the damage they do now o3o since they aren't affected, but for adv(int) magic you need like 420-440int for current damage.

  so if you had like 200+ INT, how much damage would you gain for your bolt spells?
• Cynic wrote on 2011-01-04 17:49
  Buh. That means I need 200+ int by then.. eh.
  Most mages are going to need at-least another 100 or so, I gather. Assuming they aren't all maxed out on +int skills and such.
  Poor beginner mages, too.

  Wow that's a pitiful amount. I heard that come G13 people can do over 300+ per lightning bolt. How do they achieve that?

  200 int = 10% more not flat 10.
  
  I do 180-220 now non critical lightening bolts. I have over 600 int. I expect in g13 when I capp me int skills (should be around 800 int with all the skills plus some from enchants/titles) I should easily do that 300 non crit.
  
  20 int = 1% damage bonus.

  Can you quote anywhere other than the wiki where it says it will add a percentage rather than points?
  
  Also, can you explain where does this damage come from? I read in Trigger's guide that Magic Mastery adds 1% damage per rank, but I think that was a mistake, and he meant Magic Balance. Wonder if this is true, 'cause current int formula, with your Int, yields 194ish damage:
  
  2*log(600)^3=43
  
  150+43=194
  
  ??
  
  I read somewhere else that in G9 or G10 damage was improved by 10%.
  
  Overall damage would yield 213 damage (194*1.1).
  
  Even then, 220 is not possible.
  
  Edit:
  
  And in G13, max Lightning bolt damage would be 252 (150*1.4*1.2), using the % formula and Lightning Magic Mastery. Although a crit would hit 630 if crits compounds with Int damage OR 510~522 if it doesn't.

  No I can't quote it anywhere excepting what players of KR/JP have told me.
  
  This guy is the best mage I know from overseas. I forget when he told me about the formula difference but I am pretty sure he did.

  how do you get your pet to charge firebolt but not throw it? Is there an AI for it?
  
  Edit: just watched the video over more carefully and it HAS to be an AI. I've wanted this AI for awhile, anyone have it? It's like the perfect archery/magic support
• Chinaboy475 wrote on 2011-01-04 19:20
  yeah i want it too!
• Archibald wrote on 2011-01-04 19:28
  its just a bolt counter. Firebolt counter plus some smart canceling or something. He uses it all the time.

  Heres a simple one I just made. All you have to do is load a skill and your pet will charge firebolt. It wont attack with you. Also, when you get your pet to attack the monster, it wont continue until you make it.
  
  
  

  <rules>
  <rule name="test">
  <conditions/>
  <pattern>
  <param_decl/>
  <sequence>
  <cmd name="stack_skill" stack_magic="firebolt" charge="1"/>
  </sequence>
  </pattern>
  <event name="master_skill_prepare" event_skill="all"/>
  </rule>
  </rules>

  
  
  Wont space out for some reason. But you can probably just read it if it wont work. It's two steps, not very hard.

  Hey Zackeh it's a nice AI.
  
  Can you make it so that after I tell the AI to throw the firebolt to come all the way back to me before charging a firebolt?
  Also the pet needs to follow me after it's charged up firebolt.
  Also before charging the firebolt for the first time, it should first come to where I'm located.
