Thread: [KMST] [1.2.253] Attack Belt

  1. Default


    Exactly what I thought. I don't think they're quite aware that magicians tend to have 5-10 times as much Magic Attack as all other classes.

    I don't think Nexon Korea really knows what kind of imbalances exist in all other versions. All of the content that they design for KMS might be balanced in KMS, but conditions in other versions can turn it into the most unbalanced thing ever.

    (fun fact: KMS does not even have elemental wands. I haven't seen that many discussions about ultimate spamming from the KMS side of the community either.)

    Anyways, it looks like this new belt might be a Hell Mode reward.

    People always talk about how Nexon doesn't know the whole Weapon Attack/Magic Attack thing. But I never see talk about them just not giving a damn about the whole Weapon Attack/Magic Attack thing. Which I find to be much more likely.

    Wouldn't that mean they'd be the same, and they'd just copy-paste it? Or that it'd be 1 atk and 10 m.atk, as it's just a zero at the end? I think it's more likely the programmers are forcefully separated from the GM's who actually play the game. By, say, an entire world.

    Edit: As it is, if they don't change the hp, damage, def, etc, of those monsters, it'll be WAY too easy for the high levels to do that PQ. I assume they will change it, because even a monkey could win that game at 120 as long as the only button they have to press is their mob skill.

    If they don't change it, (And even if they DO, probably best past mages.) bandits will own this PQ. Band of Thieves is the fastest mobbing skill, combined with Pick Pocket with some meso exploding here and there. If I remember right, Meso Explosion hits 12 monsters at max level?

    I'm sure Nexon is aware Mages can hit 5-10 times more monsters than others can so they dont need the magic attack.

    Any Dragon/Dark Knight with a normal speed Polearm is the fastest mobber there is using Polearm Fury.

    I just love how everything that comes out is now 'attack' equipment this and that![/sarcasm]

    It was more fun when people weren't hoarding attack points as much when the pre-4th job days were here, seriously. At least then, levelling past 130+ was a real work-out.

    A 10-15 stat belt depending on your class is still better I'd say, but a godly chaos'd one of these could own.

    I was more referring to the fact that the skill has a big circle radius, and you can even be facing a wall when you attack. As long as you hit something, the attack will hit more monsters around it.

    As far as milliseconds for how long the animation is, they're tied at speed 2. If there was more speed, they'd probably still be tied. But they can't be facing the wall when you attack. And that warriors have little to no luck for avoiding monsters, and no haste, (If soloing.) getting from one mob to the next isn't as easy.

    Sure, in this PQ, the mobs often come to you, but if you clear out a side, you can either walk to the other side or wait for the next spawn. And hog only helps out some in that regard. You still get hit.

    And on-topic, I too wish there was less atk equipment. Didn't MapleStory once pride itself on how everyone could be more diverse, etc? Sure, even back then there was what was considered the "best" gear. But back then there was still a choice between, say, how much extra attack range you could get on your bowman with the right gear for more str. Now it's just attack and more attack. It's become a no-brainer.

    Band of Thieves needs to hit at least one monster inside its activation range before it can hit all six targets. It is also the smallest area of effect skill in the game. Faster (2) Arrow Rain is just as fast, hits a much larger area, and doesn't require an activation range. Technically speaking, the fastest mobbing skill is Polearm/Spear Slash Blast + FA. Since all the monsters have 1 HP, FA's pomegranate damage reduction won't matter and they'll be able to mob a lot faster using this. The range is the only issue, in which case they can use Fury, which is huge.

    This got a little off topic, but i have a level 105 chief bandit and from all my classes, I can honestly say band of thieves is the most annoying AoE. you have to really get in the middle so it'll hit all monsters since it has a really short distanced area effect.

    26.

    When you're doing less than 1 damage with sb, you miss on the mob

  13. Default


    Rush @ about .7 seconds per cast for... what is it? 12 or 15 targets? combined with Fury (in cooldowns) is the fastest way to kill low hp monsters. Both skills have a far better range than SB or FA.

  14. Default


    THIS.

    I'm really happy right now.

  15. Default


    Using CL in this looks like fun. It's almost as fast as BoT(60 MS slower I believe?) And has the capability of hitting monsters off screen. Plus the damage reduction means nothing when everything has 1 HP.

    tis is awesome! finally something nice in KMS, also how are you guys getting these numbers? 16 attk belt? 26 attk belt? the belt starts with 1 attk and has 3 slots, no matter how godly you chaos it will never reach those numbers... amirite? unless ur talking about something in GMS idk about

  17. Default


    If you do happen to have the most incredible luck in the world, Chaos scrolls add +5 at max to a stat. Therefore if you multiply 5x3 (Highest addition to a statxNumber of slots) you get 15 then you add the 1 attack making it 16. Same with 26 attack except if you hammer it, there are two more slots.

  18. Default


    lol

    If you just need to do 1 damage, Flamethrower and Ice Splitter are faster and better than any of those skills.

    Also, @above comments on w/m attack balance: I think, rather than providing a ton more magic attack than weapon attack on new items, many existing items can be balanced by changing the way magic damage is calculated to a damage range weighted more heavily on magic attack than INT. And Ele Wands are a f'ucking stupid idea, I don't blame KMS for not adding them. A balance update for that is in order, though.

    Actually, the best is Dragon Roar, even though it would really hurt your HP potions. And as far as magical damage is concerned, I think the only thing that makes mages good is their ultimates. Without them, they'd arguably be the worst classes in the game, even with ele wands. Still, though, magic damage should be calculated differently. When almost all of your damage is calculated off of a single number that increases at a constant rate, it barely increases proportionally at higher levels.

    What the hell - what good is Dragon Roar? It takes 2 seconds to hit 15 monsters. You can use Flamethrower/Ice Splitter almost 4 times in that amount of time. They both have a pretty huge range and no minimum whacking range. From the videos I've seen it doesn't look like any climbing around is required, either; you can comfortably reach everything with those skills.

    Not to mention Dragon Roar has no control over whether it hits a Yeti thingy.
