Arrow Mage Finale Build (Lvl. 155 CAP)

FAST SPAMMING - RANK HOGGING - MP FRIENDLY

WARNING: SO MUCH AGGRO XD​

Before I share my build, I want to talk about how it got here. I started playing Toram about a year ago, and I joined the forums finding for the right class that would deal insane damage. So, I came across Egg's Extreme Arrow Mage Build http://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/eggs-extreme-pewpew-arrow-mage-build-lv-140.19702/, copied and pasted it into my character. It was fun (having to die because of too much aggro), and now that level 4 skills came out, I had to use a notebook of oblivion to remove storm and other skills to create space for finale, and more essential skills. Since Sir Egg hasn't updated his build, and since no one posted a thread about their own build, I thought 'Why not show mine?' I'm open to suggestions and corrections for improvements

Since CSPD doesn't affect Finale, I prefer to use VIT instead of DEX for survivability since the current bosses do comparatively more damage. You don't have to use Iconos, just use Vita Plus III and Lyark Tranquilizer (+2500 HP), and Ifrid is optional because the build can be MP friendly with 200 MP combos and quick draw. The build also makes use of Paralysis Shot which gives + 10% Stability at Lvl 10. So, Staff (60%) + Para Shot (10%) + Devil's Hood (7%) + 100/2 =88.5% Total Stability.

COMBOS :
The good thing about arrow mages is you can experiment different combos because of its skill set and you don't get bored using IMPACT FINALE all the time. So I added a few combos, each can be used for different bosses - low mp, long high damaging combos that could be used for slow or stationary bosses with high magic resistance such as York, Iconos,and Demon's gate, and high mp, short combos used for annoying bosses that flinch a lot like Tyrant, Boss Roga, Mozto, Etc.

FAST SPAMMING 200MP FINALE OP AWESOME COMBO XD

+ 10% stability with para buff and solo proration because of physical attacks. You could replace replace Quick Aura with Bullseye (cons) or Reflex (cons) if you don't like the -HP
MP : 200

IMPACT FINALE BUT MADE BETTER
Impact > Finale (Smite) > MP Charge (swift) > Maximizer(Save) > Paralysis Shot (Swift)
+ 10% stability with para buff when you repeat the combo
MP : 1000 , 700 (If repeated twice)

SNEAK ATTACK COMBOS
Moeba Shot > Arm Break (save) > Sneak Attack (cons) > Paralysis Shot (cons) > Impact (cons) > Finale (smite) > Holy Fist (cons)
MP : 400

Sneak Attack > Impact (cons) > Finale (Smite) > MP Charge (swift) > Maximizer(Save)
MP : 1300
You could add Paralysis shot (swift) after maximizer

Mind i share my thought?
- You sure have to cast your 2mp combo on the right place while doin miniboss run because impact can hit any 3D models around you(...while you stuck for 3-4secs doin arrow skill part).
For basic finale combo, mage can just move 30m away from miniboss to find safe place to do impact then go back to 12m to continue with finale, but this 2mp can't.

- i prefer impact-finale-h.fist for basic 10mp combo because sometimes you need to move right after finale animation is done(...to prevent some spike,bullet or any other random targeting AoE from boss or even some linear attack because tank changes boss direction to you). Then you can use mp charge-max manually.

- 2mp combo takes more time to work, not good for nightmare or ultimate boss because tank can't interrupt boss attack frequently due to flinch/tumble resistance (...and random party even worst spaming 1mp combo with HH/impact on it so when tank need to flinch/tumble in order to save buddies the boss is already in resistance state), Rip everyone.

- where is ECB xtall?? that -5%aggro is my fav.

- at the end i still prefer 'i do my job and do not die, then let other finish the rest' (...10mp finale combo - MP charge - maximizer)

 

True, but not everyone has queen staff or 3k+ matk to consistently do 1m dmg. And its hard to prorate if you're grouped with 2-3 other mages. In the end, after the double finale(if both casted sucessfully), you'll end up mp charging.

 

Yep, you're definitely right. It's all about preference, you can switch up the combos to your playstyle and the 2mp combo is definitely not meant for every boss/mini boss. The good thing about this build is you can use the 10mp combo or other combos which mazimize your shot skills for more dmg.

 

Exactly my point haha. I never recommended impact finale maximizer, I stated above that its a boring combo. Arrow mage is versatile and can use many different combos, and thats why I chose to share this build. Its already been proven that mages could deal the most damage with arrow as sub. In the end, its all about preference. Thanks for sharing your thoughts tho, thinking of adding gsw to the build since I still have 10 skill points left.

 

Mages cant help proration miss miss so is ok if just spam finales.. But mages that spam phisic skills like hell pls...atleast dont destroy your pt proration when you can easy cast imp finale without affect your pt dmg and cast manually mp charge and maximize in safety place. Just my opinion^~^

 

Try using the Fake Hit :3

 

imma use this

 

10. So, Staff (60%) + Para Shot (10%) + Devil's Hood (7%) + 100/2 =88.5% Total Stability.

Where we got thay extra stability? %77 we already have. Idk about rest %11,5

I've an arrow mage too with kinda different build sometimes i end with sneak atk changing my combos from boss to boss(cons)

 

Magic Skill Stability = (100 + Stability of gears)/2
so 100 + 60 + 10 + 7 = 177
177/2 =88.5% Total Stability.

Yeah, the point of this build is not to stick with the same IMPACT FINALE COMBO most mages use nowadays, and switch from different combos while utilizing shot skills to deal more dmg. Its pretty versatile

 

Just to point out for clarification for you, magic tali IV is +8 int flat not +8% int. I'm guessing a typo or mistake that went unnoticed.

 

Mentioning this to help with the list of usable equipment and xtals.

-Additional gear. There are many usable ones here. I'll list a few. Nightcap, 500mp and 500 cspd. Fairy Hat, 4%matk and agi, 800hp and -15% aggro. Beak mask, 300cspd 4%matk. Devils horns (best used with agi), 5% matk 666hp 20% dodge and matk up by agi - obtainable from Halloween event. Devil's hood, 5% matk 6% magic pierce 7% stability +8%aggro(use with -% aggro gear). Also usable is tyrant grievance. Xtals: Ancient empress upgrade, Chocolate ooze upgrade, York xtal, aranea(idk spelling for it), Neuroth upgrade.
-Staffs. Mainly needed is a neutral staff +D/C/B stats 7% int&matk and +10-14int 1-2s. Next would be staffs with element, 11-14% DMG to element and 4-7% matk +D/C/B. This is if the person also doesn't have queen staff.
Xtals: imiticia, evil crystal beast, grecia, demon gate upgrade. If 2s, I suggest Imiticia/Motzo + Evil crystal beast/Grecia (5% matk 200mp, 4%matk 3% magic pierce, grecia - 6%matk 3%magic pierce).
-Special talismans. Philosophy ring 1-2s, 300mp 3%int and 30% cspd. Magic talisman IV 1-2s, 500mp +8int.
Xtals: York, Neuroth upgrade, ooze upgrade, viscum upgrade

Cspd is useful for other mage skills, just not finale. My mage still uses cspd for her other skills like heal and bless. So for me, unless I'm sure that my heal and bless are not needed and I can just focus on spamming a finale combo then I can't use queen staff and would still need a decent amount of cspd.

 

Thanks for letting me know ^^

 

Wow .. nice build ... Same as my build ..

 

Shame on you Koto! Stealing someone else's build
