[KMST] [1.2.399] Akyrum (2)

[Luxeraph]

If you factor in stuff like the +hp potions and your defence and arans new and improved duration on combo barrier i think that surviving is possible even for not-washed ranged.

Don't evans have a skill to reduce magic damage as well?

Edit: They do and that's another 30% reduction when it's on and it lasts for 1 minute and the cooldown is 1½ minute, seems that surviving him will be a question of HP washing or using the defensive party skills that we have available in the game.

I love how there are so many skills that help survive the ranged classes but the stupidly low party limit almost make it that a party would be 5 classes that help survive a ranged class and the ranged class and the other five are hard to find in that number, if they're actually making future bosses all as hard as this one or more, they should make it so that at least some of those skills work for the entire expedition (e.g. smoke screen), other wise is just a tool for easy party planning (the expedition thing), which guilds that boss are already good at without it.

ETA: BTW don't most bosses have screen sized attacks, how are ranged classes supposed to avoid those (that always makes me angry, since what the point of being ranged when the boss can just use one of those skills)?

Warriors using their rush skill ignores kb rate. However, I believe that Akryum's skill that sends his serpent out at you is long range enough to hit us ranged classes.

[Devil]

Hmmm just thought of something else, magicians slow is -40 speed (works on bosses afaik), that could come in handy here somehow, what is the speed of Akyrum?

[Fiel]

Huh, that's weird that the speed didn't show. It's -40.

Oh btw:

Knockback: 99,999,999 -> GL pinning! ;)

Just so you know, Dragon Rider boss has 99,999,999 knockback, and I've seen it pinned before (unless the boss has short KB animation like Rex or Cygnus Knight mobs.)

=___= I feel like Combo Barrier and Blue Aura should shave off a huge amount of damage, not to mention max HP potions, %HP equips (I think I have something like 35% HP bonuses just from extra pot stats/czak etc), like previously mentioned meso guard, I know that as a BaM I would have no trouble surviving in a well formed party (I have max MDEF with an overage of nearly 4000, so its just a matter of not getting touched, not difficult either) I honestly dont see how any class will have trouble surviving without a good party and equipment. Don't know why you'd be fighting the supposedly hardest boss in the game without top end equips anyways, but keep whining please.

[Veneni]

Don't forget paladin's threaten. Wouldn't that reduce his dmg to 15k or less?

Plus, there's no pot cooldown for Akyrum, right? o.o

better yet you dont need to spend nx on wheels

[Blades4hire]

Geez... no need for insults, and read before you post...

Maybe you rush him AFTER his damage reflect expires?
It's not like him touching you is a big deal, no wheel usage and no exp loss.
Im not sure what kind of parties you've been in, but any half decent party should be able to kill it easily.

[Valon]

I'm actually really looking forward to this boss, and I haven't HP washed one bit. Considering the Body Boost glitch where invincibility lasts 60 seconds if another bam is giving you blue aura, I would have a blast here :D

[Flonne]

So evans can now teleport after attacking but were there any changes regarding blink?:



Have they made it similar to the teleport change so evans can attack more quickly using the skill?

I tried to do the same with my evan but there was a slower delay.

*edit: Vid of the new flame wheel:

What is that deliciously adorable pet they are using.

Also, the new flame wheel looks awesome. And telecasting is always a plus.

A unicorn. There are either three equips for them, or there are three unicorn pets. Or... something.

Watch the Pirate revamp be like Duke Nuken Forever, and I'd practically delete my character at that point in shame.

Fixed.
