Experienced ardream players

a staff attack mage in ardream, should he use flame rings +2 or rocs+2
ces +3 or wes+2.
i heard that the extra (+MP) doesnt affect the damage.
so if not i should buy (+STR) for higher staff attacks. i got hell blood+8

hell blood+8 or scorching staff+8--


* paper dd+7
* dual flame rings+2
* +9 paper set mage hp
* +8 lycaon staff
* glass belt
* iron neck
* agate+3/ce+3/we+2

=> paper mage
or

* chitin dd+7 mage
* dual flamerings+2
* chitin set+8
* hell blood+8
* glass belt
* iron neck / ep+2
* agate+3/ce+3/we+2

=> int mage

which one is stronger/powerful

with paper mage i mainly attack with
skill
56= manes of fire
51=pillar of fire
54=fire thorn
57=fire impact
___

with int mage mainly
skill
42=fire blade
51=pillar of fire
54=fire thorn
57=fire impact

or should i use ring of the felankor+1

> confused and waiting for good arguments

flame rings, i would go for ce's +3 over we +2.
Flame rings and hell blood gives best staff damage. scorchign would be a bit more tanky though cause of dd.

could i come over 500 staff attacks with hellb.+8 and fr+2s

[92pascal]

for higher attacks for mage use shio/imir/flame ring, if u want to go paper i would go paper dd, linen +9 and scorchin over lycaon but thats me. And what is better both have advantages and disadvantages, just what u prefer to play.

Paper is more for long range, hit from distance, and crimson build more for blading tanking etc. For long range u will need most attacks, and blades for when some1 gets close. also frostbite for the slow here and there. Mage is about how u want to play. Go for more long range more damage or a bit more tankish with higher blades.

Even though with those kind of items, u will be tank enough in ardream anyway GL

[Lexus]

wouldnt play a character if he dies for 2 gg rogues
i should be able to survive and make some high damages.
if i can top 500+ damage with staff attack, it would be acceptable
i can afford both variants.

[92pascal]

think staff will be around 450-500 not sure never played with that kind of items, watch electr0's pk vid its in media section he had hell blood 8 and fr +2 or 3 im not sure. but he does like 450 i think, 500 is a real lot in dcz though

[simontjeuh]

could i come over 500 staff attacks with hellb.+8 and fr+2s

no.... well maybe 1 hit in 100 will go over 500

I had hb +8 rev (136 ap), 144 int (crystal +9 set + dd) and flame rings +3...ep+2 (using an IN in dcz is stupid imo, the 10% reduction will never be as much as the higher ap you get from the ep), ib, and wse +2 / BE +3, ac valks and rogue pathos glove
Most of the staff dmgs were between 400 and 500, only like 30% would hit over 500.

I tried several builds in dcz, this one was the most balanced (4K hp, 1K+ ac, fully scrolled) and hardest hitting (800+ with thorn, 400ish with ignition)

But I played diez, where everyone had pretty decent gear... so maybe in your serv u'll hit higher.

[Lexus]

so then i should go paper mage.
i got some old pic. from my old server where i build a paper mage

[simontjeuh]

manes is crap, you can get 3x staff dmg in the time u can get 1 manes.... were those average hits or highest hits? Highest I hit in dcz was 564 with STAFF or something around that, I should look for my screens. Is that mage lvl 59?

I wouldn't go paper, cause the little dmg increase u get isn't worth the loss of ac imo.

[Lexus]

that was a 59 level ardream mage
that was only a average hit.
iam not sure but items were
lycaonstaff+8
+1flame rings
agate +2s
paper+8-9
iron set
-----
i only played 3days then i had to sell the items for own reasons

[Boeren]

ep+2 (using an IN in dcz is stupid imo, the 10% reduction will never be as much as the higher ap you get

could u explain that pls cuz i dont recall necks giving higher ap or do u mean hp here?

and my 2 cents, im a huge fan of staffing and for real that second build would rock like hell but it would rock even harder if u'd go crystals+8/+9=> rest of the int points in mp so i'd say go simontjeuhs build, its awesome

[Lexus]

so u mean

+8 hell blood
+2 flame rings
+9 linen set
+7dd mage
+3ce's/+2we's

note = crimson helmet dd+7 required 152 int
it make no sense to buy +9 crystals, i have to give 152 int..

+9 linen set
+7dd mage
+3ce's/+2we's

means u are in a new server cause else there would be crystal +6/25 dd helms. if so i would og for crimsons 8 yes or just 152 int and go for crystal pauldron and pads

[Lexus]

carnac west, we dont have crystal +6/25 dd
that means

152int
51str
rest in mp?

[92pascal]

only if u can find crystals +9 else i would go for crimson 8
