Smoulder! to weak to be a gold card.

[MAYNON-NET]

You exaggerate. Its not never ending. only 75% morale is retained.

i think the last gear will give u 95% back so it will never be 100% all the time

I would love to see Smoulder modified so his base damage is something like 1.5 times Shayd's. Then, divide that damage up among all the people he hits. This way he would do decent damage against groups, and high damage vs single targets. The increase in damage is the offset to Shayd's stun chance.

all i ever wanted for smoulder is to hit his targets. atleast 5 targets all the time.

lamodomo, with your all-mage build, you would love the new update.

There's another mage with horns of hell skill.

There's a more powerful one that can do the flame wall skill of the bosses.

And there's one that can do a big magic hit on one target, that doesn't miss much at all.

Yes I totally love the new patch herby. Since they updated, Shayde's looks, and cool lightning attacking from Smoulders makes me want to keep him even more ^^ and of course new mages! 3 strong mage! looks like it'll be 3 or 5 months to get all 3 strong mages. Aphrodite, Brynhildr, and Mulan.

my biggest obstacle for now, is killing Minister lasviscus (Elite) to get the Iron Heart Relic. but without using Cianna or Bloodstrom or Adamanti its just impossible, well I did try using Cianna, but, ended up with a complete fail. my talent build is completely different from others, its more defensive, its feels, FOR NOW, impossible. I'm at 19M power and still trying to kill it, and I don't think I can kill Mulan either so, it'll be awhile. probably when I reach 25M power. or less I hoped.

I notice, that the strongest players in my Server doesn't need a mage lol. which it hits me. I'm starting to waver lol. but, I'll still continue to play Herdy. =)

Just be resilient and stay focused on your goal.

Once you get Queen Bryn, things will open up for you.

I suggest you recruit General Djehuty. You'll have two Smoulder-types in your lineup then.

Aphrodite is almost unachievable for most but the biggest coiners and players in the game, so i wouldn't count her in any future formation builds.

[lamodomo_2092870]

oh Herdy, I feel your moral support. really appreciate it. but, I keep watching the replay in Mulan. I definitely need Adamanti, bloodstrom, and Cianna to beat her. Its hard to see the light at the end of my tunnel. Oh and I am using Djehuty, it not enough to bring damage lol. I'm at 19M power. and again, I think I'll be able to beat Mulan around 25M power. hopefully with cross fingers haha

Or they could make the defensive talent really effect by boosting their numbers. x2 perhaps?

I cannot imagine beating heroic Minister Lascvious without Blood and a decent stunner. His AoE is doesn't seem to be resisted by much of anything and using multiple AoE people you aren't going to outrace his AoE damage compared with your party health to his health.

Maybe you could get away without a stunner if you have 3 good AoEers and Blood. He, Minister Lasc, does tend to miss quite a bit when down to one target. I don't know, with a mage build I don't think there is anyone that has enough offense to bring his health down fast enough.

Even with Blood and Shayd (before patch stun and hit nerf) I would need 3 stuns with Blood hitting every round to have a good shot of taking him down. I think Tynon is trying to get people away from relying on stuns to deal with bosses, but I am not seeing followers in the range of power I have that I have much hope of beating in Royal Arena that will come anywhere near being as useful at my power level as Shayd was in dealing with bosses. Without Shayd's stun I think a lot of people are going to come to a crashing halt in progressing through the bosses. Which maybe the point as well. Its going to take a long, long time to gear up to the point of simply being able to grind the heroics down on sheer power.

But then we (the players) are usually trying to down heroic mobs more then twice our power, so many of us have been relying on the luck of Shayd's stun and Bloodstorm's hardcore damage. I was about 9 or 10M power first time I took down Minister Lasc, and it took a lot of attempts.

I like Smoulder caurse he hit 4-5 every time... not like Adam that only hits 4-5 every 3rd time or so
