  [spoiler]LIAR! I just fought Feral Boars and I was double-teamed, NO DROP KICK.[/spoiler]

  
  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Did you hit one boar right as another noticed you? That is, it could be that the passive aggro of a boar triggered right when you decided to attack another boar.
  
  From my experience, I have never been double-teamed unless I let the above situation occur. Keep in mind also that, while you're fighting a boar, a second one may "notice" you (a single exclamation mark), and upon defeating the first boar, the second boar can immediately aggro you. This is AI behaviour very similar to almost every other boar.[/SPOILER]

  [spoiler]No, I hit one boar and punch/kick it to death, then this second boar turns and aggros me (double exclamation mark). Although, sometimes its just noticing, but I have gotten double teamed.[/spoiler]

  So you killed the first one, and then the second one attacked?

  Oh I have to make an update to this.
  
  All offensive skills upon reaching rank 2 will have drastically different training requirements to get to rank 1.
  
  All have 40 counts of training where each count provides 3 exp each meaning 34 counts of training is the minimum needed to rank the skill to rank 1. That's 17 counts if you're using the fighter destiny.
  
  Here's the list:
  
  Charging Strike: Use the skill on an ogre
  
  Focused Fist: Fully charge the skill to knock down a bear (meaning it needs to be the killing blow)
  
  Somersault Kick: Daze a shadow alchemist (Dorren's Request, red orb on the right)
  
  Spinning Uppercut: Debuff a ghost (damn nexon =.= maiz dungeon should be a good spot for ghosts)
  
  Drop Kick: Attack 3 or more enemies with splash damage (dungeons with orbs; hope you hit 3 out of the 4 orbs that contain enemies)
  
  Pumel: Use the skill to finish off a lion (the third hit must connect)
  
  I recommend when you train your fighter skills and not just these ranks, enter a party with yourself and set the finish rules to "anyone can finish" so that somersault kick and pummel have a better chance to connecting their final hits.

  You can always use Drop Kick in Osna Sail. The Wolves are pretty packed together.

  Hardly a choice for me since they die by 1 punch for me.
  
  Their method or SCC seems more of a better choice.

  Dude, there's like 7 of them... Kill one, move onto the next, and so forth.

  Maiq likes scouring the area below Fiodh for this, don't forget to change channels!

  Dunby southwest, easiest r2 everrrr.
  
  Somersault Kick: Daze a shadow alchemist (Dorren's Request, red orb on the right)
  You got it perfectly.
  
  Spinning Uppercut: Debuff a ghost (damn nexon =.= maiz dungeon should be a good spot for ghosts)
  Go to Metus with no clothes and npc spiked knuckles and punch the chromatic prison ghosts. May want to have someone there for revives, somedays only the brown ones appear after all...
  
  Drop Kick: Attack 3 or more enemies with splash damage (dungeons with orbs; hope you hit 3 out of the 4 orbs that contain enemies)
  get flame burst and use it on the scathach hornets, they then follow you and are perfect bowling pins.
  
  Pumel: Use the skill to finish off a lion (the third hit must connect)
  Don't mash the 2 button and you his the "third" hit right after the first flurry.
  
  I recommend when you train your fighter skills and not just these ranks, enter a party with yourself and set the finish rules to "anyone can finish" so that somersault kick and pummel have a better chance to connecting their final hits.
  That works perfectly

  
  
  Maiq added his nickel.
  
  For tumble, get two others to drop you into provo while you have 5 or so npc knuckles (spiked is cheapest), and have a fiesta with the barriers!
  
  Respite is rediculously easy, get pet or person wounded alot > spam dat cure/cura/curaga/curaja (preferably at mana tunnel) > win
  until 5 and up anyways, then you also need to use the skill some.

  Chain Mastery > Rank 9 Knuckle Mastery > Rank 9 Tumble >> Spinning Uppercut > Somersault Kick >> Charging Strike > Focused fist >> Drop Kick > Pummel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Respite (or just don't rank the damn thing unless you have 295 ap lying around)

  
  Hey J~ Mentos! Seriously? Why must we do mastery before the actual skills? Do they take priority and help dish out more damage even if other skills remain at F? I might go fighter for 1v1 instead of relying on Firebolt CC... unless Alchemy or Puppet is more worth it.
  
  Thanks for the guide. It was a nice read. Might have to re read.. as I got to the end, I skimmed then skipped to td;lr.
  On another note, make me a pixel .gif C: haha

  Mastery increases the damage of the skills, I'd think, as well as adding on Will. I think Rank 9 Tumble is for Master enchant. For me, I'd just rank the skills you use first and the masteries along the way (treating it like combat back then).
  
  Alchemy seems more support based with Shock, Frozen Blast, and Rain Casting, though Flame Burst/Water Cannon does deal a decent amount of damage if you have the right cylinder and enchants.
  
  ...as for Puppets, it relies both on Str and Dex for damage, but I don't know the skills very well xD
  
  Hiya love :D
• Kyouria wrote on 2012-09-12 03:31
  Oh I see. Thanks, sta--Anh~<3 haha
  
  I'm leaning towards going fighter first for more power in instances where 1v1 is better. IE elite missions were if I don't crit or if people don't follow up with support, I will die -kind-of-situations.
  
  However it looks like puppet will have to wait^^; no dex or str under my
  belt.

  Lemme explain it I guess. Rank 9 knuckle mastery gives you a quick and decent damage boost for a little bit of ap. You can stop ranking it there till your chain skills are done. Chain mastery should always be ranked since 1, it modifies your chain skill damage on final damage calculations and 2, it's incredibly annoying to train if you're paying attention to it; just make sure you always have enough ap to rank it to the next level. Tumble is just rank 9 for practicality's sake.
  
  Lol as for pixel art, I'll talk about it later xD

  Nope it's working properly. Did you even bother to do basic math yourself by equiping and de-equiping a knuckle?

  That won't work for some people, including me... especially if we have skill lag.
  
  I train drop kick at Tir Na Nog where the zombies are at.
