@TheBlackMage; yep, I use hotkey FB. You can see the times I switch to the key-combination FB when my combos are really low; my damage drops to 30~ mil lines.
http://puu.sh/dv6ml.jpg Only buff used is MW and having combos up. :D
Seeing how everyone are now able to solo Chaos Vellum got me really motivated, so I decided to attempt to solo myself :f2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plq2VxXrM44
Hm, what kind of ballpark range should I be aiming for for cRA, keeping in mind that I have Elemental Decrease?
192%Boss and 81%PDR as I stand right now, and 950k - 1m buffed with only Medi and MW30.
I have no clue as far as stats go, but as an F/P you only need to do around 30-35m lines with Paralyze to solo Vellum, although you would need a near perfect run to do so. I'd imagine I/L wouldn't be much different. The other three are much easier, so take that as you will.
Amazing Chaos Vellum videos!
Last week, I decided to visit back after an eight month hiatus. I was really curious about the DrK nerf that recently occured. And then, a couple of days ago, I was surprised that I can still solo Chaos Vellum with full % drop gears even after the nerf.
Spoiler
I don't see a lot of people around much anymore and I'm still deciding if I should still play. We'll see.
Oz Tower looks kind of interesting though. Maybe I'll try it out once in a while.
Time to lower the tone.

Guildies died early on so ended up being mostly solo, invisible post-instructors 1hko didn't strike today!
This is the best I can do now. Why nerf, why?

Probably my best attempt at Hard Magnus so far.

Power of friendship OP
i didnt really do much except threaten bind and res
Just killed chaos queen with friends and shet, it was surprisingly fun.
Spoiler
This probably isn't all that impressive but it was my first ever Chaos boss solo so I'm pretty proud of it!

forgot to screenshot nearer to the end, but my first 0 death Vellum solo! :D
http://puu.sh/eNdwD.jpg
Decided to try to jump on the hard magnus solo train (super late) because apparently anyone can do it now cough cough 400k range dawn warriors cough
My 2nd attempt (without any binders):

@Straatlamp; :f3: i summon thee
@TheBlackMage @Justin My apologies, I thought that @Straatlamp had posted his video on Southperry but I ended up getting my maple sites wrong. Yes, the video in question is the one @CakesXD posted.
@MarksmanBryan wat I am no genie, I am the fairest pwincess of Elluel no bother mi beauty sleep plz :f3:
Since someone else showed the video already I am no longer needed k bye :tongue:
Damn, he didn't succeed but that came down to literally every life and every hit making the difference between success and failure. :f3: Though I guess most DWs can't do that because of server latency.... switching stances takes an eternity for some.
I can probably do it with 350k range if I wanted to.
I'm one of the people that suffer from latency problems (nub Europe :f3:), regular American players should not have any trouble with equinox pierce and divide unlike me.
The parts that I cut off (middle - last 4 minutes) showcased me going full retard while dying 10+ times on the most stupid ways imaginable, if I narrowed down my death count to 10 I can easily kill Magnus with 2 minutes remaining.
Hopefully kill tomorrow. Messed up on 36F (-6min) + 49F took me entire 5min.
BRY I NEED YOU TOMORROW @ SOME POINT

I think I did slightly better this time.
Last time I fought PB was a long time ago with friends.
This solo went decently, I suppose.

I blew up my Tyrant shoes a while ago and I've been 10 coins short of new ones for... basically since I blew up my shoes.

Shiny redemption nerf did nothing, In fact it's even easier to Magnus now, gg wp nexon.
Lumi buff is nice.
THIS IS AWESOME MY FRIEND AND I JUST DUO'D EMPRESS, IT MIGHT NOT LOOK EXCITING BUT IT'S PART OF MY GOALS IN KMS FOR YEARS NOW AND IT ACTUALLY CAME TRUE, WHAT'S BETTER IS THAT IT WAS DUO COULD'VE BEEN FASTER IF WE HAD NOT WAITED FOR V2 BUT DAMN NIGGA I AM SO HAPPY.
http://i.imgur.com/z6YOHco.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/CQkZnzK.jpg
Lumi was always a tank... Shining Redemption is really just a token nerf to make things consistent throughout. I hope you like the Blessing of Darkness buff, and the QoL changes (much less downtime trying to fully buff).
Hadriel
Yep, My favorite class In maple xD, Been playing the same class for 3 years (Roughly) consecutively now, Always enjoyed the tankiness and what not from Lumi, It's just a whole different experience, and IMO this is just the best class hands down.
In the end the SR "nerf" ended up as a buff for me at least, I'd spam that skill at magnus for years without thinking and due to the long delay I'd get rock'd, now it's actually easier and I don't get rock'd, I just need to time it (Basically use it every 5 seconds hehe), and in the end it's actually a better experience.
The blessing of darkness buff is truly amazing, It saves me at empress so much now, I am still not sure about the interaction that Luminous has with her genesis but I've noticed that whenever I have 3 orbs (WHICH IS ALL THE TIME NOW AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS SO AMAZING) it doesn't kill me (I end up having around 431 hp) and it just pops one orb away.
Also tanking DR is just a joke now, The orb(s) help so much, I always knew it does but it was fairly situational, now it's very consistent and I'd have to say it's a godmode and I am enjoying every second of it.
[I never really went to Empress but in the 3 times I did post-unlimited, it wasn't like this for sure]
And yeah the QoL change is actually very nice, I don't mind buffing anymore at all, I've also recently gotten 32% buff duration which makes this even better.
Just note that orbs help you tank DR depending on the DR damage (can be checked on extractions). They still tend to be ridiculously large, but at sufficiently high levels you should have enough HP to barely survive.
Now all we need is reduced cast delays for our skills. I don't mind less damage as a trade-off.
Hadriel
Come with us then, you noob :f2:
Duo'd C.pierre with a friend :D and noob @Kobe; wanna be david on his bishop lol he was there for door one time and hs he pro got his pants now angry nigger 2 is motion ppl

well my 1st chaos root abyss solo... gotta start with the easiest :f2:
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w.../Maple1407.jpg
I always found Queen to be the easiest, especially when she bugs. :f3:
Strange, late and very long as it is, but I've finally got my first PB kill.
http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/x...pssfjxycjd.png
Is anyone able to tell me if normal PB drops Black Bean Mark, the one that's part of the Loveless set?
Hadriel
As far as I know it drops a different mark that goes into the "Boss Set" instead, chaos pink bean drops both.
:f4::f4:
Thanks guys. I'll rethink about how to set up my accessories...
Hadriel
Pls hold while I go cry in a corner.

I've always wanted to kill this pineappleer without dying in a solo run :DDD
http://i.imgur.com/s3G5XXE.jpg
I've been trying to beat him with my first Dark Knight since December 2013, but after that account went to ashes, my second one surpassed him and FINALLY BEAT HIM FOR HIMSELF MY DUDES I FINALLY BEAT NORMAL MAGNUS AFTER NEARLY 2 YEARS OF ATTEMPTS I AM SO EXCITED

HOLY pineappleING SH1T
I pineappleING DID IT I KILLED THIS BASTARD
(HE'S HARDER THAN EMRPESS BY A HUGE MARGIN AND THE MOFO HAS INSTA KILL AT EVERY TURN HOLY pineappleING pomegranate)
EAT pomegranate CHAOS ZAKUM EAT pomegranateTTTTTTT
http://i.imgur.com/ya6tUPz.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/EjuLDTk.jpg
WAS TIGHT
ONE RUN AFTER SAME RESULT AS THIS (1 DC), THIS pomegranate NEEDS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN I THOUGHT
Well, yes.
It's a lot more challenging, staying in focus is a must or else you'll get cheesed, all he does is cheese you.
I couldn't even do it 2 months ago, I just went ahead yesterday and tried it for the lulz after hearing the following tip "Respawn during the platform phase".
It's a really annoying fight though but at least now he is worthy of being called a "chaos" Zakum, But I'll admit it's a lot LESS annoying than seduce spam, 1/1, stupid minions, he still got super defense but during that fight (he only does it when he lost his arms) you'll be more focused on running to green cubes than anything.
He's still cheap but at least it's more satisfying.
Couple of tips in case anyone wonders
#1 Don't underestimate the delay of those arms, Walking won't cut it (At least it doesn't for me) I am not sure if it's due to ping or skeleton animation but if I walk away from the arm(s) AoE smash, It will appear as if he didn't hit me but in reality I die in a spot that hasn't been hit a few seconds later, Teleporting/FJing is a must.
#2 Focus on mostly surviving during the arms smash phase than anything else, you'll have plenty of time to hit him during the platforms which leads me to
#3 I believe there's an Interval between how long it takes for him to spawn the platforms but it doesn't matter, If you have teleport always be on the highest platform, teleporting down will lead you into the fire but it's no biggie, I am not sure about classes without teleport though, Jumping down didn't cut it for me and I'd die there.
#4 As I've said earlier wait for the platforms to reappear/appear before re spawning or else you'll die so fast, the arm(s) aoe attack is CHEAP.
#5 Bind is a godsend during his second form (Once his arms die).
#6 Try to cycle as much damage as possible then focus on running to the green cube.
#7 Stand in the middle of the map in order to get there faster.
#8 Don't get hit by the rocks unless you think RNG god is with you and he'll spawn a green cube exactly where you are at, There's a chance (?) that if you get hit by them you'll be slowed which obviously means one thing.
#9 You can enter as many times as you want as long as you haven't killed him twice, Thus dying 5 times is just a waste of time but who wants to lose time right?
So basically you can practice on this mother pineappleer a lot, of course damage + bind might result in a sure kill but he's cheap at every single turn he can be cheap at.

@DinosaurFood;
Does the new Chaos Zakum gives newer and better gear because if it doesn't it feels like wasted opportunity for a new end-game boss.
35 deaths. Jeez.
http://i.imgur.com/afGUZ3t.jpg
It was partly because I was panicking a lot about losing 10% HP per second. I flashed jumped into several meteors just trying to get away from that. But this was only my first attempt since they added the DoT, so, with practice, will come improvement.
Oh.. I did hard magnus solo on Wednesday after the patch, I killed it a bit faster than you did and didn't get any coins or capes. So I just wanted to see if I held back and waited for the timer to pass 15 minutes if it would change, I'm just going to assume it won't make a difference.

I nearly saw this pineappleer die, damn it.

damn.. dead thread D: and yes, this will be my last post on here for a long time
Fast forward around 3 and a half weeks later, and i DID IT YA BOI (i think) IS THE FIRST ENGLISH FOREIGNER TO TAKE OUT CHAOS VELLUM (although our community isnt as lively as it was before, i still think its an achievement)
https://i.gyazo.com/7b9a4946cc83b8be...69dfdb2c15.jpg
I know i'm not Kobe, but look this video he posted, it seens brutal, he didn't even finish dojo to make even more difficult(and still used his 5job skill that helps good Drks).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62dvZwwb11M
When 5th job came out, I was around level 191 hitting around 5m on bosses like RA, Hilla, and Magnus. With completing cores, arcane symbols, and upgrading some of my gear (i've doubled my range since 2 months ago through gear, arcane symbols included) and getting decent SE gloves i was able to boost my damage up to ~28m on chaos vellum, which was enough for me to kill him.
and yea, the video that Ivangold posted is a pretty good examples of what cores and arcane symbols did to my damage.
5th is such a good thing for me. Just being able to log in and do something other than redeeming monster exploration and daily bosses is pretty swell.

Good luck on pierre tho.

L>3 minutes soon (although in reality this was 3:40 minutes or so).
It's basically a "free" 8% increase in damage, and it's a toggle skill (CD really only applies if you die or enter a map that wipes buffs). I've been trying to get this skill, but drop rate for nodestones is really low sigh. And DSI is so important for Lumis...
