Is dex not too useful? Pure dps?

+300matk at 255dex or lv2xx cap worth it? Ofc cspd wont affect finale main and all

Bk-sama advocates vit, seems like a better idea in case of 'stray bullets' huh

 

I think that VIT is the way to go since pure DEX dps as mage, 1) you have little survivability, so forget any boss past roga 2) you'll have a hard time finding a party since people don't really want to tank all the time for you since you can't survive any attack over 4k, so I don't think is really usefull overall

 

You could split the points between DEX and VIT.

 

Or you could learn boss patterns and not die to things

 

I always say best offense is party best defense. But due to lack of tank players joining a party vit is the way to go to some. Vit gave hp and def (I dunno if gave more), def is for auto atk dmg tho haven't seen an auto from boss/mobs that annoying and vit easy to get with rings, xtals, potions, etc.
Stats points gives you based dmg, it is where your +% stats with compute the additional bonuses. I'm always for max your roles full potential and have the ability to adjust via gears if necessary (survive ability). Coz when you're doing harder mode or gemruns you might be farming with a tank and you will notice tank will pretty much own most of the dmg so you as dps should deliver your full potential output as possible. And theres what we called right timing when you know boss patterns. That is a scenario where your extra stat will come into play or will be useless.

 

Isn't the saying the other way around? The best defense is good offense xP

 

well, since mage hv a powerfull new skill.. i think go for vit is a good choice xD

 

If it's only for that one skill, dex is the way to go since, as Jbatz said, on gemruns and harder modes you'll often have a tank with you so you should focus on pure dex dps to max the dmg output of finale, wich could easily hit a 800k

 

Finale has very high constant. So 300 matk will only boost its damage by like 5%. I say dump all to VIT if you dont plan to use anything but finale......

That is untill magic gets "CRITICAL" which will make CRT and STR much more important

 

Magic with critical oh no no that would means the reborn of cancer: Mage fus hahaha

 

I believe it will be like iruna with the skill spellburst where magic had much reduced and difficult to obtain crit rate than physical

 

i say balance them. vit would definitely be good. even with - aggro gear and sneak attack, just a single 2 mp finale combo and boss sticks to you like your best bud if there's noone tanking. you wont need too much vit though. aside from damage, some dex lets you hit things for proration though. it wont help with cspd though as finale cspd is determined by skill lvl

 

without sneak, -100% aggro
as long as there are tank/merc tank, you're still can dealt more damage
finale combo only cost 2MP, so you can spam freely

this video only for a testing -100% aggro, hope you can get inspired later



PS: when trying at Ulti, boss still chasing me even i have -100% aggro, will try later if i have Dia Staff for -150% aggro

 

The refine on the gears will help, I heard 2500hp potion is out and having full int can cut some magic stray aoe atks while auto dmg is meh. For me that's more than enough to make room for revita/bottle use preventing mage to get 1 shoted on normal/hard bosses. Straight dps as high as it could get ftw
And ability to change off hand when the situation needs can make a mage semitank/full dps

 

Mages will prorate via magic tho youre right. int-dex build mage can give u better shield bash stunrate than int-vit even if skill lvl10

 

what's the combo?

 

moeba -> arm break (save) -> reflex (cons) -> para (cons) -> impact (cons) -> finale (smite) -> closing

if you're afraid that it might ruin other proration, you can change moeba with Magic : Arrow, and para shot with another support buff (quick aura, reflex, bless is one of the common stargem and SP friendly)

 

Metastatized cancer eventually appear xD

 

Any known how much MATK give Queen Staff in MATQ UP(INT) for each stat in INT?

 

Tbh it will kill other high breed builds when magic will crit. Imagine dmg output of finalle if crit multiplier be applied compared to staff fu's quantity chip dmg
