why dont mortal blow first?

it dont hight your dmg ?

or why dont fire shoot?

it is not usefull for train in nath?

Why be so vague?

God dang it. Took me 30 min to understand what you said.

Most poeple max strafe first to get a strong, and fast attack.

isnt the top speed any mapler can have 140%? i have the icuras 2 cape (+10 speed) and i dont plan on ever taking it off since it have 10dex on it. So maxing thrust would be kinda sensless. Also, Bows that are yet to come out carry speed with them, usually +10 or 11. So right there you already have 120% speed. I think im going to leave thrust at lvl 10. That should put me and max speed. I guess the only thing i have to decide on is whether a maxed hawk is better then a maxed mortal blow?? ne higher bowman want to put in there 2 cents go ahead about which should be maxed?

[ExiledDragon]

I'd say mortal blow is more useful, after all, after the first 20 lvls of hawk, its usefullness gets higher. Man rangers and snipers are confusing classes.... (we're also the best)

[eefie]

thrust aint that important. arrow rain shld have a couple of points first, be4 that couple of points of fire shot. hawk has a nearly utterly useless stunner at lvl 9. mortal blow is too good to leave at 10.


im done ranting.

I believe a good point was brought up. Why not put 1 ~ 5 points in strafe and then max mortal blow, then finish off Strafe? I mean, Max Mortal Blow means you really only need to do 1/2 the dmg needed, and anything else is a potential killshot, critical hit or no. In essence, a good bow + 2 ~ 3 Strafe shots could be the end of essentially any monsters since theres so many chances of Mortal going off.

Im just basing this argument based on what I know, so clarification would be helpful instead of "omfg nub strafe > mortal .. nuff said". Some math might help out too.

Screw PKB I'm maxing Mortal Blow immeadietly after Strafe. I love final attack. I save many pots off it. The only thing that bothers me is why doesn't it work well for mobs.

[chaz_jo]

you shouldn't max out thrust, your wasting your precious sp, and besides you can scroll =P

Maxing out thrust will save you your time from looking for a thief to haste you and SHARE EXP WITH THEM.

And D3RKS1NX, thanks for the correction.

i never said anything about looking for a thief, i said SCROLLs not partying... and would you rather waste cyber money for scrolling , or wasting real money buying 3rd job skill reset cards just cause you dont want thrust?

Why don't you get thrust AND scroll your equip for jump or just 10 more jump to get a perma-haste to make all the thieves jealous.

Use you head, thik outta the box. Noob.

1. Mortal Blow is passive
2. It's used by 'whacking' the bow. Basically it's melee

edit for 2nd point:
Mortal blow activates at the minimum range and is definetly not a melee attack or a 'whack'

Therefore Strafe is a lot more useful.


sorry for double posting

gah...why do u like melee so much? sick of being a sniping fool? then go get rain/eruption. way better than that 70% chance of screwing up a damn monster smack in front of you.

He doesn't like melee he just didn't fully understand how MortalBlow works.
