Ha, maybe some of you seen my AoE mage guide, and wondering... why is a mage talking about melee classes ?
o well, now im playing in sofiel and i am a protector XD
I have gotten many mails from protector players saying they liked my aoe mage guide and want some melee class guide too =P
here we have it.(its incomplete)...To kyo and life the most =P
Notice: this guide is for melee classes, not to compare with mage or archer (ect, when i say high dmg, it only means high dmg compare to sword, spear.. not to mage or archer.)
lets start off with couple picture of the Noob me:
class:
pure protector(axe+Enhance+Grapple+Shield+Reserve+Garment)
Pros: High HP, high def, lesser pot needed for AoE
Cons: lesser dmg than spear protector, no spear buff.
SpearProtector(axe+Spear+Grapple+Shield+Reserve+Garment)
Pros : Highest DMG for melee classes, have both spear and axe buffs.
Cons : 12hp& 1 def less each level than other classes with both enhance and grapple .
*the reason i didn't list sword and warriors, is because they are not so good at AoEing, compare to axe+shield,
because when you are AoEing, the atk speed really doesnt matter, what matters the most is your DEF.
well..really, theres not much hybrid for melee, unlike mage classes, most people choose their melee classes at the very begining and just stay with it =P like me ....
Leveling guild:
not much to say till lv
35+
if your league owns a totem, you can train with slarms and bats there and get to 35+ in a day.
if not, train at mummies at lower lvl, and then move to crashing hillock and kill wolves, green wolf.
AOEing at bats and slarms in terra is GODLY exp, but some times, terra just get too crowd, and you will need to move out ...
crashing hillock is the best place to start your AOE life.
as you see in the picture, i was still using lv 25-35 gears.(sofiel is new sever, no high level producers yet =P i got them from monster drop)
18x-2xx dmg is not bad, that would take 5-6 hits , some says its a lot slower than mages, but try if you can find any mage at this level can AoE that much wolf?
the key point of AoEing is to not get too close to them, or their crits will eat away all of your pot, and cancle your AoEs.
(you can pretent you are a weak , low def, low hp mage at this point )
some says, if you stay too much distance away, you will only hit couple, cuz the AoE is not ranged.. well, hit couple is better than not hit at all and lose so many hp right ?
one way to hit more mobs is : lure mobs, and run straight make them following you in a line, then suddenly, make a U turn, this will make your mobs make a semi circle around you, but not too close to you to cancle your AoE.
sAt this time, you should be able to get one level per hour, with 350 of 200hp pot and 40 160mp pot...i know it sounds expensive at this level, but
look how fast you can lvl ! with exp card, you can make from 35 to 42 in 4 hours !
if your money ran out during this time, borrow some from your friends (thats what i did) or go back to terra and farm for a while. If your league doesnt have terra, then train at wolves kill one by one--> rest --> kill , till you have enough for a run.
AoE with wolves till 42+
Do not AoE at bishops lower than 45.... or you would find out you can get owned by them in 3 sec..
Only way for protectors to AoE at bishop is buy spell def scrolls , spell def food, eggs---everything that helsp your spell def !
at this point, phy def does not matter much , bishops cant hit you much anyways.
well..same as mage, starting from here.. to at least 50 , its nightmare for the ones who loves AoE crazy...cuz really theres no mob to AoE on...
kill bishop 1 by 1 till you find good s def gears and have enough money to buy 400 hp pot.
in the other hand, if you have terra, team up with 3-4 friends and AoE at terra mob time 2nd wave. I know this sounds crazy... most protectors
can not AoE in terra mob till 50+
but you can ! team work can beat everything =P tell your friends where to meet, or just let them follow you/ follow them till all mobs are lured to the
same Area. (i sugges the 4 corners, AoE there will also hit slarms and bats, which will fill up your SP bar fast, but NOTE : DO NOT lure your mobs
to the corners that have players AFK doing pet farm, because you lose mobs easily and those missing ones will end up kill others' pet----pet killer.
in other word, just in case if this happen, DO NOT afk pet training at mob time !!!)
47+
Now, you can start to AoE 3rd wave ! well...it is expensive, i just spent 1mil today on pot, but it got me 2 lvls today =P
with exp card, not on double exp weekend!
the key of AoEing 3rd wave is keep pressing your 400 hp pot, and keep it always above 70, thats about how much you will need
per AoE group. Try Lure them to the place i circled on the picture above.
at those places, you can run in circles and aoe ^^ the bottme left and top left one got a rock in the middle, which will cancle the mob's magic =P.
before you start to aoe, try go to those 3 corners and get as much slarms and bats as you can, that WILL save your life , lesser pot,
faster killing. Image AoEing none stop with Sp bar always full XD well.. if you lure bats and slarms and AoE, thats what will happen.
AoE those mobs to death !
so far, im lv 49 , i am able to AoE 3nd wave with 400hp pot and lv 3-4 food without scrolls.
i will keep this update =P msg me if theres anything wrong, or need any improvment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
long time no see people =P
here im starting to update it again. at the moment im lv 77 heres my exp of how to get to lv 70 and ups by AoEing.
lv 60 - 68
still, train in terra mob time. water elves and wind elves still give you the most exp out here. no need to attend the 2nd wave.
but at this lvl, you are already high enough, you need more, and more exp than before. you will find yourself can only get 20%-30% each 3rd wave
which is really slow, so , heres 2 places you train other than the mob time.
1st. lava cave, feiry path. due to the AB system , so many people are at sad abyss so AoEing there is not a good idea.
you will get about 10-12% per exp card.
2nd, AB at sad abyss at night or when you are afk. from 60-63 you can get about 20-30% per 12 hours
if you combine them all, we take the average % of each spot. terra wave = 25%, AoE in dungeon (2.5 hours) 50% AB at night = 25%
25+50+25 = 100% =) one lvl per day is easy.
(get some money and buy mark stone + mark scroll is recommended, u will need about 5-7 per night)
remember this spot, lots of spawns XD
i started to get lazy when i was lv 72 and AB came out. those times, i just AB at flame mummies and got myself to 77 -_-
ab released around june 3rd and now is july 17 . so...around 44 days to get 5 lvls...
but if you train and AoE, that would take maxium 10 days.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gulp room
if you don't have the key, which can be find after u done the MKP quest
then stop at the totomy boss (looks like fan protector) then angel wing back to town , pot, repair, then mark stone back to underground, re-party , and re-enter to the next round. it takes me about 250-300 hp pot and 15 mp pot each run till here.
1st map - mummies, just lure them together, then use DS AoE then and move around bloody storm, they do lots of crit, so try stay away .
2nd map(left)- find the purple mage type monster 1st, if you have pk5, its a MUST to kill at least 3 of them before you start to lure and
AoE the rest, or you will die painfully due to their high magic atk (around 400-500 dmg each magic, 300 if you have spell def scroll on)
if you dont.... then you should try get as much spell def as possible and try stay as far from them as possible, AoE the rest, finish them off
later.
3rd map(bottom left)- for me this is the hardest, cuz for protectors, its really hard to always keep all of those monsters from you. its very easy to lose some monsters from chasing you and run off, in this map, you have too kill all the monsters (same as the 2 maps above) so you have to really becarefull on not losing a single monster.
4th map - the final map for the ones dont have the key. if you have stealth ring, use it, run straight to the door and open it. if not, get on recovery shield and run to the door, open it, run back to the left as soon as you see the boss. after you see all the monsters are gathered up use dream slaughter ONLY. keep the mobs inbetween you and the boss. at last, kill the boss. either tank it (faster,but more pot) or hit and run with pk5+ bloodystorm (slower, but less pot usage).
now now... me and one of my league mate(both lv80.both with lv80 axe spell) explored most of the maps in atlantic after it came out. we tested most of the maps we could with 30min exp card each.
from the lessest exp we got ,1.6% per card, to the max we got of 2.3% per card with food and dumpling.
i must say...glup room is still better =.=" i hate to say that...but u still gain a lil better exp in there.
o well, it requires atk , def scrolls for gulp room so i feel better train in atlantic. =P
so heres some lv 80 axe spells.. no need to waste ur money on powerful beat. as the new lv80 AoE is much stronger and takes same SP bar and its a AoE ! =.=" o well u could still find some use of that spell as u can use it in a combo..but still,. not useful, i rarely use it at all >.>" if anyone want to see lv80 spear spells, let me know, i will ask my friend for some screen shot.
