11 Choices Project Part 2

[Abacabadab]

Current Total Level = 426
Levels until Part 3 = 124

Part 1: levels 1-30, ( total = 330 ) Complete
Part 2: levels 30-50 ( total = 550 ) in-progress
Part 3: levels 50-70 ( total = 770 ) coming approx. 2007
Part 4: levels 70-100 ( total = 1100 ) coming approx. 2008
Part 5: levels 100-120 ( total = 1320 ) coming approx. 2011
Part 6: levels 120+ ( total = 2200 ) coming approx. when pigs fly

The first part did not have much to compare, and the comparisons are difficult to make from the randomness.
For part two, I should be able to get much better comparisons with mastery and more unique class skills.
Anyways, here's a list of my characters, their class, current level, and skill build.

( Windia )

JiseStorm
Fire/Poison Wizard
Level 40

Planned skills:
Maxed MP eater (3rd)
Maxed Meditation (2nd)
Maxed Teleport (4th)
Maxed fire arrow (1st)

Undecided on Poison Brace and Slow, It may be a good idea to try slow to see if it is worth getting, so I may max slow, leaving 11 skill points left over to put somewhere (I have no idea where though >_> )

JiseBlizzard (Guilded)
Ice/Thunder Wizard
Level 40

Planned skills:
Maxed MP eater
Maxed Meditation
Maxed Teleport
Maxed Cold Beam
Maxed Thunder Bolt

JiseHeaLight
Cleric
Level 35

Planned skills:
Maxed MP eater
Maxed Heal
Maxed Invincible
1 Teleport
Maxed Bless
Maxed Holy Arrow

Since both my other magicians have maxed teleport, and because 4/5 other skills are unique to the cleric, this is the way it'll have to be...

JiseShooter (Guilded)
Hunter
Level 40

Planned skills:
Maxed Bow Mastery
Maxed Bow Booster
Maxed Power Knock-Back
Maxed Soul Arrow
Maxed Arrow Bomb

Planned skills:
Maxed Crossbow Mastery
Maxed Final Attack
15 SP into CrossBow Booster

In order to compare FA, some skill points had to be moved around, thanks for helping me with this, eefie :D

This thread is to show progress, for people to comment on it and part 1.

Appreciation x infinity for:

[eefie]

man you are fast.


any comments on the training thus far?
the difference between 1H+shield and 2H
STR vs LUK

[chaz_jo]

Wow you're really fast, good luck =D

I really advice you on not maxing booster for your hybrid Spearman though, get both boosters to lvl 9-10 and maxing either PA FA or Spear FA since your raising another 10 characters I don't think you can afford a Pure Hybrid's time in training.

Unless your finishing in 2020...

[gooman]

great work thus far, I hope your lvling goes faster than you planned it, but just don't kill yourself. Even if you don't set out to prove what you meant to, I hope it's been a great experience atleast to this point because you spent so much time on it already

now shut up and train all your characters to 50 NOW!!!

just kidding. take your time and enjoy life

[MagicalBow]

Incredible how you managed to not get bored, I got bored when I was gonna make my 2nd Magician >.>
Anyway, this is a comparison project right? If you're gonna compare you might wanna have one of your Bowmen go FA and one not. Just a suggestion, don't have to do it.

[eefie]

yea. you could have one of the bowmen to get FA, prefably the Xbowman, and tell us how FA actually affected you and your training. many people say XBowmen shouldnt get FA, as it totally sucks for them, but i dont think so. could you try to get FA for the Xbowman and tell us your opinion? it would cut out the arguments.

[Abacabadab]

eefie1: So far with 1H + shield and 2H, and STR vs. LUK, There are several small differences that add up together, with shields my hp potions tend to last longer , with 1H swords and STR daggers, the attack power is hard to compare, but the increased attack speed is noticable, yet at level 30 the damage for 2H swords with power strike is excellent.

chaz_jo: I'm not sure... the other two will already have power attack, and I'd like to see what it would be like without it... I'm very patient, so I'm sure it would be ok ^^

gooman: I'll be sure to do that :D

MagicalBow/eefie2: Oh, that's a good point...
I'll have to think about it... currently the planned skills take up 110 skill points, and Final attack takes up 30, so I would have to remove 20 skill points from other skills...
Crossbow mastery, Final attack, booster, and iron arrow are a must, and that adds up to 100 sp, so I have 21 points left over...
Power knockback and Soul arrow... This might be difficult to decide...
Mobs of monsters have been a pain in my side for a while, so PK is something I wouldn't want to give up easily... and soul arrow is ok for the special effect, but I could just as easily buy more and more arrows, and I could use the attack + arrows as well...
I could always buy SP reset scrolls later on I guess...
I don't know -_-

All: Thank you very much! :D

Offtopic: I got caught up in a fight between our two pet cats, and I got scratched up really bad -__-

Well, I don't know if this is for every archer, but I am pretty sure it applies to a large majority. Arrows became way too frequently used at higher levels and often, if you want to be doing some decent training, you are going to have to be at your training spot (i.e Dead Mines, Cloud Park 5 (or whatever number the last number map is)), because if you left, you would leave your map empty for someone else to get at it. Normally that isnt a problem,but there are a lot of um, offensive people out there in those maps. Soul arrow isn't something you are gonna want to miss out. It saves time and inventory space. Get it to at least level 2 for a minutes time. Honestly, you should probably try to get it a little higher than that. Arrows eat up inventory space. You are probably gonna want the space for pots.

Normally (bad word choice here), when the issue becomes FA or FA-less, if you become a FA archer, then you probably want to eat up points from PKB and then from there, decide how to eat up points from Soul Arrow and Bow Booster. Don't make your first priority of eating up points otherwise: third job skills, although doesn't completely replace PKB, does quite a good job at making PKB a last resort skill type of thing (since you have Puppet, Arrow Rain/Eruption, Hawk/Eagle, and Mortal Blow).

So yea, I am sure you knew all that already in some shape or form. Sorry if you did lol.

Anyways, I am extremely proud and amazed at your consistency at this project. Maybe one day, you would be like the MS god here at HS lol. Keep up the excellent work and progress and once again, good luck and have fun.

[eefie]

here's a suggestion:


15 booster, 5 SA, 20 PKB

the booster and SA are synchronised.

or else, just forget PKB. run and snipe =)

[Julliant]

I could make your life harder by suggesting that you make a FA Hunter, FA Crossbowman, Low LUK Flizzard, Low LUK Blizzard, Low DEX Sin, Low DEX Bandit, Low DEX STR build Bandit, Low DEX DK, Low DEX Crusader, Low DEX Knight... guess I'll stop there.
