#Dual Blade
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
Gotcha. So DB is still a decent class for f2p but they shine at bursting with their hyper skill and their consistent dps will get better post 200.
I switched from db to dawn warrior and I get beat a lot by people with gear not as good as mine
Does that make them bad @SF144 compare to other thief? I main a phantom but looking to explore other thieves that can survive SF144 with full unique armor and a mythic weapon.
Db is still really strong just that the v2 and v3 are very lackluster
Db does fairly good farming imo
V2 and v3 really short cooldown. V2 hits most of the map
And when they’re on cooldown you have the bf to spin around everywhere
It’s not a great mobbing class but it’s not terrible either.
Just don’t use your 170 skill to ab
Ids mainly for bossing only
I heard shadowers are really op right now.
From what I read, NW and NL are so paper thin so they require a lot of funding before they shine. My end goal for the DB, (and other alts) is just full mythic gear at most, maybe an ancient weapon. At that gear level, what are your thoughts on DB vs shadower vs other thieves?
What class do you main ?
Phantom rn
Phantom is the most consistent
And very much enjoying him
It’s always needed in parties and does pretty good dps.
I would stick to phantom (:
And alts doesn’t matter they all the same end of the day.
Years ago when I play reboot , I ended mainjnv a phantom and DB
Main phantom and an DB alt decently geared
Db doesn’t shine as an alt.
I remember I love DB then for when you pop asura, bosses just die so fast
It’ll do decent but don’t have high expectation.
Seems like Shadower is still more OP rn then
What would you say is a big difference between shadower and DB?
In general, any tips for the DB as I progress him skill-wise? I think I have a decent understanding of how to gear him already. Thinking of slapping a junk emblem on him and rank up to mythic and call it a day.
I use to main shadower too. They’re almost the same but shadower burst is in meso explosion. And db is with hyper and v1
For bossing with db time your hyper and v1
If you miss your hyper or it gets interrupted you lose a lot of dps.
Gotcha. So DB better burst but very reliant on it. Shadower is a more consistent dps with better survival with meso guard
Is clone a must buff for dmg? Is it basically a 35% damage buff?
The mirror image clone never seems to draw aggro from boss, am I doing something wrong
I think in msm it doesn’t draw aggro just gives you damage reduction.
If you only had one buff to use it would be shadow partner basically
Yea I mean shadow partner
So what does that mirror image really do then? Just kinda stand there?
Yea the mirror image thing the fourth job skill I think it just grants you damage reduction. I don’t think anyone puts it on their skill wheel I could be wrong.
Sharing my V Matrix to hear your ideas and I would like to know what do you think about my trios and what to improve.
Thank you helpers💚
You should replace the middle boost node with one that has phantom blow
This are the only trios you need so far
What’s mirror target used for?
mostly magnus, for when you're outside of his blue zone
What does it do exactly?
reduces the damage we take
Through the passive?
If I don’t summon it, do I still get the 10% dmg reduction?
Or does it kinda split the dmg we take only when it’s summoned
only when it's active
Gotcha. So I probably won’t use it most of the time then unless it’s magnus?
Yes, it's super helpful in magnus. you probably won't need to use it anywhere else
I see. Đang was hoping it’s a free 10% dmg reduction constantly but guess not
What’s your opinion on hyper passive?
pre 200,
you can do what the guy above said. all 3 in blade fury and 2 in final cut, enhance, cd cutter or all 3 in final cut and 2 in BF.
after 200, you want all 3 in phantom blow and 2 in final cut (persist, cd cutter)
Weirdly I just texted and PB deals like 1.5x more dmg than BF on sage rock
Is the goal just have enough in BF to clear 144sf quickly?
Not really useful for my opinion
Which one?
Sorry you rang?
Gocha, thanks
Phantom best thief atm
But meta changes quickly
Any quick thoughts on NL vs NW currently if my plan is only gearing them to full mythic? Which one will do more dmg at that gear level
Look at what Blink posted above, those are the main perfect trios
the 2ndary ones are with Blade Fury/Sudden Raid/Blade Mastery
Phantom blow/Asura/Blade Clone should be our biggest focus
Probably NL in terms of mobbing but both are in a good spot atm (bossing wise). NW will get even better with the remaster in a few months
Is NL still slightly better damage wise and NW slightly better survivability wise? And is NL less button smashing and micromanage?
What really determines dps is your wallet
Use this chart as a grain of salt reference
quite sad no blaster data
and all the thief classes with expensive wpn than other classes got rekt
NL by far
NW is the weakest theif by far atm
Even after the remaster in the future?

when is the best time to activate 2nd stage of last resort buff?
how many seconds does the last resort buff reduce when you activate 2nd stage?
roughly 15s in stage2
I've just been letting it chill in stage 1, but i guess you'd want to use during a window of both v1 and asura to maximize
It’s kinda weird that blade tempest in PC maple the cooldown is 2 mins
As opposed to the 30 sec we get in msm
This is pretty accurate tho i would think shadower is not too far off from NL & DB.. hmm NW need a serious revamp
hey guys is final cut a must in a perfect trio node?
no
Not a must
Dual blade here which hypers should I focus on first?
page 1
- additional dmg increase
- max dmg increase / final dmg
- whichever u didn't pick for 2
- phys dmg
- boss atk
page 2
- 1 pt in additional dmg increase
- pexp
- exp
- buff item duration increase
Heyo, with about 1b is it better to get a unique dagger with CD emblem or go with an emblem less mythic? Thanks!
Whats the name of the dagger. And Depends on your goal of how long you’re staying to play the game
whats the price check on no sf leg jai crit emblem
There’s usually all four uniques with CD embs for around 500m
Haven’t seen a non sfd mythic with emblem yet
Legend sorry
I bought one for 1.1b so was wondering
What dagger tho? Jaihin, Utgard, etc
Bc that matters lol
Oh you said all four types?
If you’re going the long game route, I’d personally go with the CD emblem and rank it up yourself. Mythic non emblem is tough to upgrade f2p
But only with Jaihin dagger
Gotcha thanks!
They just changed it to 2mins with kmsm patch today
Uh oh. Hopefully hella lines?
Oh
They said overall dps is higher
Interesting 🤔
I wonder if gms will increase the cd to 15 sec for bod before this happens
Surprised it hasn't happened yet
Main thing I'm looking forward to from pc game is if they make blade clone no cd for us as well 
lol oh yeah
DB clone have cooldown?
no
Hahaha, but super OP
Break dancing all day long 😵💫
Wow no cool-down for blade clone in pc?
Hi friends what is the best ratio for CD/BA for db? Currently with 4ba and 4cd
Yeah in the June update i believe they made DB and NL 150 skills have no cd. Not to say that we'll ever get it, but would be nice 
It'll come down to the content really where certain emblem builds shine over others, but I personally use 4/4 as well. Some use 7-8 CD only, and do great too. The main difference I noticed is that the 6-8 CD emb ppl will use purple jewels, and the 4-5 CD emb ppl usually have blue jewels.
Im 5/3 and use blue jewels XD
I run 7cd with ba jewels.. recent patch gave me a huge boost in my stats 😂
Yeah it really comes down to maximizing your own build and stats, and it makes sense too. Usually the more CD embs you have, the less BA, so you "fix" it with purple jewels, and then with the more BA embs, you'll try to bring up your lowest stat which is usually PD. Then flame builds is more BA for purple, and more HP/MP for blue.
This last patch definitely was a boost for us since the increased stats helped with clone dmg and other lines that weren't capping
Are V2 and V3 useful for bossing when maxed?
They'll increase your dps when used, yes. So making them stronger helps
Can someone post skill wheel for past 200 need ab and bossing
This is the build I’m working on right now.
So with flames, should I go for Phy Atk scales with boss atk?
Or still go with crit dmg scales with boss atk? Since my gems are boss atk gems
Yes that's ideal
For your build
what i use
presets are sw + ds, flashbang + sudden raid + venom burst + phantom blow, v2 + v3
I’ve seen a kmsm training build with PB replacing BF 🤔
I've seen that before too, the logic might be letting party members with higher pexp get more kills and the DB just walks around
because for actually killing, blade fury has the advantage of being multidirectional
Guys whats the perfect trio boost nodes for DB?
Replace blade ascension with blade mastery
Thx !
I got Blade Fury, Sudden Raid & Blade Clone as my first perfect trio.
Now the 2nd trio one should be:
Phantom Blow, Asura Dagger, & Blade mastery.
That would work right? Not necessarily all 3 boost are organized together.
Yeah technically those are still perfect trios
It's just that it's not til later like lv230+ where you're able to fit decent skills + ds4 + boost trios
So in terms of dmg priority, focus on pb, asura, blade clone
Thx alot!
Let’s not discredit our amazing aoe map clears 🤭 I believe they use PB bc it’s quick cast and multi hit. Plus monsters don’t stay alive and around for long since a good party kills fast and efficient.
Also BF can sometimes drag longer than desired
I'm saying it can be a mechanism for someone to level faster, if the pt members with more pexp (than the DB) also have a higher kill rate, so they do most of the map clearing. The DB is still able to AB, but uses PB for the shorter range/less targets, to give more kills to those pt members. Just an assumption
Ooh never thought of it that way
Can db survive sf144 with legend weapon and unique everything else
Yeah at the end of the day, PB and BF are just filler skills until our cooldowns are up so it probably doesn’t matter too much 🤷🏿
Hi is there a reason why would the recommended standard perfect trio focus on Blade Ascension rather than Blade mastery?
Is there gonna be a big boost if changing BA to BM?
That graphic is from the pc game, blade mastery while not being too significant, will still lead to higher dps having a boost node for it vs blade ascension
@verbal delta which do you max first, v1 or v2?
I have a couple of slots that I can level
Anybody know Do we use blade fury or phantom blow for ab leveling?
use blade fury
Absolutely
Most take adi second after fd
Adi for me roughly is 6-7% overall damage
Oh wow, I thought I read somewhere that adi changed and was not so good for DBs anymore. But guess not
so it's fd > adi > pdi?
fd>adi>mdc>pdi
someone post pic of their v matrix?
#1059991969805385729 message
At that gear, which one will be a better node farmer? Will Db suffer from survivability issue at that gear? Will shadower outdps DB after the initial DB first?
Gear is ancient fodder. Mythic emblem armor. Top/bottom
Which gear?
This
Shadower will be a better node farmer with how they can move with V1
Can share bossing presets.. pls n thank you
Need some advice, is this a good set up for lvl 205 DB main?
If you can replace the third boost node with another that has phantom blow in it, that'll help
But other than that what trios should I have? Is Final Cut even worth having in there? Or even blade mastery? Does the final attack go in the buff or does it only go towards the actual attack?
@verbal delta
Final cut is not worth, blade mastery only accounts for about 2% of our total DPS in 3 mins so it's not really that impactful. The main priority will be getting PB/Asura/BC to level 60
So in reality I just need 2 boost nodes that has a mix match of Pb/Asura/BC is there such boost mixed like that?
Pretty much
DB has the most skills that appear in boost nodes unfortunately, so it may take quite a few nodes to finally get one that has PB/Asura/BC in one
Mm I see thanks for the tips, and also with the trashed nodes do I extract them once I max them?
Got lucky just now with this
Also hyper is it best to have Final Cut with Finall dmg or PB with crit dmg?
Yes, extracting trash nodes at lv25 gives the most return of shards
after 200, the hypers are all 3 in PB, and 2 in FC (enhance and cd cutter)
Ain’t that the truth! Hahaha. But you’ll get a lot of nodes back to max out your v-skills
Yeah fortunate or unfortunately there’s that
Hey can someone please help me, this is my dual blade toon but I feel like he does extremely low damage to bosses compared to my cadena and getting out damaged by some trashy classes, can someone please tell me what they recommend for me I'm reasonably new to this
Don't worry about bossing until you're >200, the game doesn't really start til then
But am I on the right track from what u can see I really feel like I've hit a wall now and don't know what to do
Like if that was your character what are the things you would be doing/aiming for
It'll come down what you want to do really
The main goal should be getting to 200, then if you want to work on your main character, you would look into buying equipment from the other players or making your own equipment from scratch. The former is "cheaper" in the long term as it's always better to buy finished equipment but if you go with the latter, then your priority should be making as much mesos as possible and creating alts to set yourself up for the future. You can also start working on alts to get the proper link skills and working on your legion.
I have a Cadena, Bishop, Dawn warrior, lumi, phantom and kanna is there any I should make? Also what level do get the alts too and what should I be doing on them, also I have no idea what legion is lol.
Sorry for all the questions ur the first person I've been able to ask questions about this game since I started I can't find anything for mobile online, really appreciate the help!!
And so u are saying the gear I have just now all of it basically doesn't matter as I will buy gear anyway o.0
Basically
These are link skills, you can equip them in the skills tab
Sorry maybe I'm just thick but that chart means fkall to me x.D
So basically every character in the game has their own link skill, some classes have the same link skill if they're considering to be in the same grouping. These are basically "free" stats we can use to link to another character (usually our main) in order to give them these stats
There are 2 levels to link skills,
lv1 is when char is lv70, lv2 is when they reach 120
All the characters I have are 120+ so that's good
Legion is another system that takes into account the total level of all characters on your account, and gives you extra stats based on this level
But on my dual blade can't I only equip 1 link skill at a time or are u saying I can have all them on 1 from each character active on my dual blade at the same time
You can have up to 12 active link skills on 1 character (you can't use 1 character to give 2 others the same link skill at same time)
We get our own link skill automatically applied, so it doesn't count towards the 12
Bro.. honestly I have bought megaphones offering people 100m+ just for info and literally no one ever helps or answers I really hope you know how much I appreciate this was feeling kinda lost on what to do, obviously it's alot to digest but the gist is I focus on levelling my dual blade to level 200 but level useful chars to 120+ for the link skills to use on my DB and by leveling my characters up it will take my account level overall higher in my legion for bonus stats then when I get to level 200 I need to have saved alot of mesos and just buy loads of maxed Gear?
It's hard to converse in game, since most of the game is done by just logging on, autobattling, then logging off
discord is your best bet to learn as much as possible about the game
There is definitely a lot to digest, and I probably haven't discussed everything but there are helpful people who can try to answer what they know
No you've definitely helped alot no doubt I'll be back here with updates I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right and wasn't on the completely wrong track, how much mesos roughly do I need for hitting 200
And sorry lastly what should I level up I don't know if I'm putting it in wrong stats
Lol just equipped all the link skills I had there wtf can't believe I've never noticed that before 😂
For the next point, you can put 1 into "additional damage increase"
From there, you can do:
- Max Final DMG (FD)
- Max Additional Damage Increase (ADI)
- Either max PD (physical dmg) or MDI (max dmg increase) - the choice here will depend on what gears and stats your character has at this time
Later on when you have more mesos, you can expand to the 2nd page and invest in exp and party exp hypers
fifth job skill is 40% of our dmg so you ain't missing much yet
Is 200 lvl going to boost alot of damage? I’m currently 199, any suggestions on the node system
Take advantage of every event shop! Free items for free upgrades to gear! A lot of the game is timegated and requires patience. If you know the background of MapleStory, it’s all about the grind and enjoying the process. Make use of creating alt characters and autobattle on them! You should always have a character on autobattle to farm mesos for you.
@hard compass solid star force to start out for alts would be 113, 123, 130
Also, 2 months of neglecting the main 😅
Congrats!! Did you leech them the whole time or did dailies/AB?
Dailies on all alts everyday
Dedication 
Thanks alot everybody really appreciated I'm just grinding now to 200, does the DB skill at lvl 170 do alot of damage for me?
Just reached 200lvl, is it worth to use my meso on nodestone at least get all the skill i need
Is blade fury not necessary anymore 200 level for bossing and mobbing?
We get our first V skill for free by doing the initial arcane quests. Nodestone are probably the most cost efficient source to increase damage, in terms of damage gain per mesos spent, but DB has the most boost nodes combinations, so it takes quite a bit of mesos to max our skills.
Blade fury i still use for mobbing/dailies. Our v2, blades of destiny, and v3, blade tornado, are nice for mobbing, so you should keep opening nodes until you have these at least
Understood! Thanks
You can check the pinned messages of this channel, there's a picture of our perfect trios (phantom blow, blade clone, asura). we just need to focus on these skills until you have more room to add in the other skills later on (blade fury/blade mastery/sudden raid)
we do this because the latter doesn't do a lot for our total dps, but can help later on when trying to squeeze in slightly more dmg where possible
For now i spend about 800m to get all these, should i open more slot for craft rope lift as well?
I will go check!
Yeah you can open 1 more to add in rope lift (or have it replace that boost node u currently have, as it'll only help with bossing really)
So just depends on how fast you're trying to progress. You can buy more nodes and open the extra slots, or if you're not in a rush (or not really doing any serious bossing) and want to save mesos, you can just focus on levelling and unlocking them for free later
i see! I can just manually equip once i bossing!
Yea i think i just leave it for now
Thanks for all clarification!
Mhm you can always switch out nodes for others when needed. Just try to not remove/re-add V skills, cuz you'll have to re-add them to your skillwheel and presets
for rope life, you don't need to add it onto your wheel. once it's on your matrix (equipped), your character will auto use it during autobattle
Hey can someone explain the 4th job “mirrored target” skill. I don’t really understand
Finally 
grats!!!
Thanks !
@quartz pivot Congrats!!!
I'm trying tomorrow for my first actual run, hope it goes well
Thanks! All the best to you as well 
It reduces the damage we take when getting hit by hp scaled attacks. i recommend u use it during Magnus when outside the bluezone
Idol
Just getting all 3 fifth job skills doubled my gd score
Hours, days, weeks of training finally paid off :) And no, I don't have 230K HP or HP potentials. DBs are glass cannons and should stay this way!! 🤡
Big credits to @s3phy866 bot for making the clear possible.
Music: N'to - Trauma (Worakls Remix)
I'm quite encouraged that you were clearing Damien without really HP washing
May i ask any tips on how to survive? What kind of iframe rotation we need to do
Iframes are used almost exclusively for dashes. Our Iframes are plenty but they are short in duration, so it's important that you know exactly when will the dash happen (down to 1-2seconds accuracy). Try to save dark sight for instances when you have lost track of the sequence to save yourself from a possible incoming dash.
@verbal delta grats on the damien clear!
Thank you!!
4b+ in and this is what i got so far 🥲
That’s normal, we got too many junks
Yeah our matrix is pretty expensive
try to extract all the trash trios at lv25 so you get maximum return of shards
I should enhance all the trash ones to level 25 before extracting them?
yeah, it'll give you the most shards back.
Ahh I see. Should I extract all the special nodes too?
Yes, most definitely. Especially before their expiration date (or else you'll lose out on shards). If you're running ark or hmag, I would keep whatever DS4 you get and extract it a day before it expires.
Thank you I'll do that. I'm no where near doing ark or hmag tho haha
Can db survive at sf144 abing without buff pets
Probably depends on the gearing and party composition
With full unique armours, no self buffs and a slow killing party, i'm going to assume no since you'll probably be getting 1-2 hit ko by the punches
For the big DBs got a question.
Currently sitting at 6 CD 3 BA. I’m trying to get updated with the brand new changes to potentials.
Do you guys recommend to BA gems or PD blue gems.
Do you recommend switching flames scaling to BA/HP/PA?
Almost full necro, just trying to pass my belt.
I'm assuming you're counting the top/bot as separate emblems, so i guess it's 5.5 cd and 2.5 ba? that is fine.
Jewels it'll come down to your flames. If you have mainly HP/MP to attack, FD souls on armours, I'd recommend blue. We don't have a lot of natural PD when our 150 goes on CD either, so that was another one of the reasons I prefer blue jewels.
If your flame scaling is mostly all BA lines, then purple jewels to maximize those flames, along with BA souls on armours.
Attack in general is a pretty overrated stat imo, but that's the thought process of choosing a jewel set that works best for you and your stats
Can someone help me with the perfect dual trio and how your matrix should go?
ty!!!
Hi, so i heard from lotus party db
The person told me, db only need 3 slots for tri-core, not 4 slots ?
Do ppl actually do use only 3 slots rather then 4 slots 🤔
Technically, you can get away with 2. Two for bossing, and the other two for Sfing.
Any big disadvantage going straight to absolab with Lvl 40 necro hat if I’m going to use radiant exalt stones anyway?
Exalt reduction material I believe
Oh wait that’s the same
Probably don’t matter then
Yea that’s what I was thinking
and you get the better(?) abso set bonus on top of that, good to know
Regarding the hyper stats, which they recommend to go up I'm sorry that it ruins my DB but there is still the second page or reset the points, please someone tell me that I have all the clothes to 20 stars in mythical and weapon emblem CD as well as the sub weapon.
For hyperstats page, ideally you want to use 2 pages (depending on how much mesos u have to spend)
but page 1 is usually for bossing with final dmg, max dmg increase, additional dmg, phys dmg
page 2 for training, with exp, pexp and buff item duration
Hey guys I just hit200 finally. Can someone please sure AB/Bossing skills rotation as well as presets?
Congrats on 200
this is what i use for training
bossing
@verbal delta thank you man!
have you tried last resort in sw/ds preset?
Yes, i use that for damien
what you got for v matrix @verbal delta
HB on 2nd page
What is the lvl represents next to the skills? Ex:lvl5
That's additional lvl towards the skill. You can lvl a "slot" and that contributes to the overall lvl of whatever node you have in that slot.
so his lvl 25 + "lvl 5 slot" makes the skill in that slot lvl 30.
Thank you 🙏
Is it truth that we won’t get the same boost node if we keep all the junk boost node. And increase the chance of getting perfect trio?
What’s the current stage of DB vs shadower? Is shadower just tankier and w v3 now their burst is getting almost as good as db?
It's possible to get the same boost nodes. DB has the most combinations possible of boost nodes, so that's why most of them are junk
Shadower is the strongest thief atm
Kmsm buffed/changed all 3 of our V skills this year, but we haven't gotten any of those updates yet unfortunately 
I mean the last patch also buff a ton right?
In which scenario is dual blade a better option? I’m deciding on which one to bring to 200 since both are 170 rn, or one that’d do well with less funding (just mythic emblem gear)!
Probably no scenario atm
yes the last patch in Oct was huge for Shad
Dang
V3 is the biggest burst. Trickblade is good for mobility / damage. What about the other one?
Shadow assault, it's good for movement for ABing and iframe during bossing
And compare to pcms, shadower is easier to play here coz we don’t have to worry about meso explosion weaving right? It’s automatic for us
Our v2/v3 are good for ABing as well, so that's the only scenario where I'd say it's kinda close
Bossing, with similar or less gear, shad is winning
No weaving in mobile
And future patch seems like they’re buffing shad even more while DB stays the same?
DB is missing buffs, since the Korean version of the game buffed all 3 of our V skills this year
Usually those updates are copy and pasted later into our version, with some minor tweaks
Gotcha.
Shad gameplay post 200 is still pretty linear right? Not a lot of to micromanage anything
My biggest drawn to shad right now is just how tanky it is. Probably my tankiest char!
Yeah meso guard helps a lot
I'd say it's similar for most classes, the game doesn't really begin until you reach 200
Yes I feel that now.
And even AB-wise, shad is still doing at least equal w db right
For a node farmer, I'd def recommend for shad
For a main, just regular ABing it's close. Our v2 is a half map clear every 10s, which is really nice
Yea it seems like db has the tornado that looks good for mobbing
Haven’t seen any kmsm battle analysis after v1 120cd patch
So reliant on v1 range and burst in solo ark now
Our burst can't hold a candle to most of the classes atm, so for short duration content we're def in a meh position, but for longer duration fights it holds up pretty well. Seen some DBs do great in damien/lotus with the updated V1, but it's hard to say since we can't tell how geared the other members are in the runs
Anything i can do while waiting for my perfect trio? Do i need to level up all the junk node and extract it to get shard?
And what should i do with the shard
prioritize phantom blow/blade clone/asura, even if they're in junk nodes. whichever is the highest level
keep all the trash nodes and extract them once they're level 25. use your shards to craft V skills you don't have yet, and then focus on crafting V1
Can having 3 boost node while waiting for perfect trio? Should i place the 3rd boost node with a blade clone base-together phantom blow
Yeah that would probably be the better move
Sudden raid/Blade mastery are between 2-4% of our total dmg in a 3minute interval
Alright! thankyou very much
Db's v4 is haunted edge right?
🤞
The skill itself feels underwhelming compared to the other classes. Correct me if I’m wrong.
i believe it's just extra lines that proc when we use phantom blow or blade fury
we'll see tomorrow from kmsm how good it is 
skill itself is ok, just how frequent we get to proc it
^
shade and ark v3 feels pretty good
and if we get the same effects
"all attacks of Haunted Edge ignores 30% enemy defense"
we need those kmsm DB buffs that they got this year 
https://youtu.be/eqRpx4-sMxA?t=88
looks like a 4 sec interval

i will represent #buffDB 
Yeah now everyone caught up or surpassed after v3 cuz we're kinda stuck depending on the time it takes to beat bosses
ark - can't keep up with 1min burst
lotus - still do pretty well imo
damien - bad when you can't use as many v1 or asura cuz u gotta run away bc of the balls or go to altar
so will the kmsm rebalance benefit us other than damien
they said overall dps increased after the changes so I assume so
more lines for v2, v3
more time to spam PB (good for bosses w ied i guess)
Kinda like the mobility and range during v1, feels almost as safe as dark sight other than in lotus p1
the abnormal status/kbk resistance is very handy indeed
latest kmsm rebalance, 100% uptime on blade clone like gms 
Huge bufff
That's a win 
Finally acknowledging our lack of lines #buffDB /s
I was hoping it would come to our version but I wasn't sure because i feel like it's a lot more helpful in mobile than gms
glad we got it
Now we just gotta wait another year 
Hopefully the kmsm streamers show DB post patch so we can see the skill description for haunted edge
Please make it 6 seconds interval at most
Anything above that felt like a worse adi hyper stat

@nimble sinew my friend pulled this from the kmsm streamer
2.3k lines in 2 mins, 3s proc cd
Damn I’m watching as well
Now the wait begins for v4 
And I think the way he does the rotation is pretty perfect
Him flexing the 150 spam lol
V2 and V3 look almost instantaneous
wow
yes!
omg, i hate the delay between the two
This V1 change looks really sick, only casted once in a 2 minutes test run and still scoring second in rank
1 month after kmsm got v3, they changed v2 so they both shared the same cd, almost a year later and we still didn't get that change 
Yeah looks like the longer cd did help dps overall. even moreso now that we'll be getting v4 procs in between
Db wet dream since launch

Damn yuall getting me bricked up over these updates 
I noticed it looks like haunted edge is proccing blade clone, which would mean even MORE lines? 
Yeah it should proc blade clone as well if it's during the reactivation window

Which V skill is that?
That’s a second hexa mastery on pcms haha
Other jobs actually got something much cooler

V4 total lines in 2 minutes
2nd is Dual Blade
Thanks for the post Rubedo, we got some good upgrades to look forward to 🙏
ooo whered you find this chart. just looking through the class forums and stumbled onto this v4 total lines list. 😮 where does WA stand. (i know its a db forum xd)
i believe most info is from KMSM streamers but i translated the post to english, should be mostly correct i think

Mihile: Comprehensive skills
Because I don't understand the skills of each profession, if there are anomalies in the segment count, please provide corrections in the comments.
The segment counts written now actually have no meaning... it's just out of curiosity, written out of boredom.
Due to clone attacks, additional damage from specific professional passive skills, etc., the hit count will also be reduced by half.
Please refrain from expressing inconvenience towards other professions.
@green magnet @verbal delta thanks yall! 🙏 gives us something to look forward to.
Only increases pole count when bound? what does that mean?
it's bind
When bosses or monsters are binded, our attacks does extra adi lines for the next 10 secs
Is this exclusive to Demon Slayer only? Thats like doing smth like extra clone lines when bosses are bind.
Its exclusive to Demon Slayer. Paladin also has a somewhat similar bind mechanic. Paladin gets extra final damage when bosses or monsters are bind.
i hope the op of that do a compilation of all v skill line distribution to see if every class evens out when v4 release
Buff nl 
I know putting 3 minutes and 2 minutes line count means nothing since some are passive trigger every interval while some has 1-2 minutes cooldown. Just doing this for fun. For those with more than 1 value I just use the average.
Prolly just put DS V4/2 mins to reflect 1596/2394 since technically is either they time their bind and V4 burst or they just V4 burst without bind. Taking (1596 + 2394) / 2 = 1995 as average doesnt make sense imo.
Their overall lines will be like 18118 / 18916
Could apply the same to all but I think there’s classes that has a 2 min long cd while db and Evan has extra proc every few sec so it adds up
Need in depth info of each skill cd to really see
Btw the list has double angelic buster so I use the higher lines lol
Sup party ppl!! Any idea on how much hp u need to survive at SF 168?
Hey guys, I’m a NL, just wanted to pop in here and ask what it was like not totally sucking. I will never experience this feeling, but maybe I can live vicariously through y’all.
I'm not sure about HP but you'll probably need a mythic weapon and maybe outfit at the minimum, i think they do like 27k? touch dmg
I was expecting NL's V4 to be the best one considering how it is in pc game
but with Nexon there's always a cycle of buffs and nerfs, so there's some hope they'll buff the class in the future
This is ma gear, at the moment i do have ~55k Hp, but im still dying at SF 150, i can almost hit SF 168 (if equiping helmet and shoes sf 18, would need only +2sf, and ill hit that in weekend)
Level up the dagger, outfit and shoe, u might be good after
Mkay!! Ty
Try to get legends return medal, legion badge, kerning tower ring from shop, mulung necklace(at least 1) and the 7% ring from check in if your sf condition allows. Also with how frequent we are getting hyper discount coupon and reduced hyper meso cost you should be able to put in 1 or two.
Hi guys, anyone can share the farming ab skillwheel for dual blade?
can someone please share AB/bossing before level 200?
Blade fury and sudden raid if you can survive
For ab?
This for bossing but ab only blade fury and sudden raid no more?
ya db is pretty dependant on his v skill
Sorry im newbie , what is V skill ya?
At level 200, we basically reach 5th job, which unlocks a V matrix, and special V skills to go along with this matrix
I see get it thanks!
Is it just me or is dual blade mobbing a lot weaker than it used to be?
Blade fury is meh for mobbing, we rely on v2 and v3
v4 will help blade fury
You can try to focus on just blade clone, phantom blow and asura for now, so you can bring in more V skills
In the future when you're like lv230-235+ you can start to bring in those extra boost nodes
I feel like it used to be way more powerful than it currently is
Is it just me or was blade fury 400% skill damage earlier
Yeah it used to be like 430%
Wow no wonder I'm feeling like it's weak now
Why did they Nerf it so bad?
maybe they deem it op with node's fd%
It was changed during the remaster I believe, but yeah it's not really good until it gets a boost from V4. We get saved by V2 for our mobbing ability
Ah damn. Already too invested so can't back out now
What are the stats on V2? I made this DB primarily because it seemed like it'd be a good farmer
it's a half map clear skill every 10s, great for smaller maps like AF90, AF120, AF170, AF380
You think I'll survive SF180 with Top/bottom and rest mythics?
Weapon is level 30 emblem mythic
This sounds pretty awesome, like heaven's hammer kinda?
Much better than HH
Thanks, guess I should be able to manage then
DB kinda sucks at edge of space though right?
Yeah we got trex arm range before we get our V skills 😭
Hi guys, any tips for hyper skill? Just reach 145level what shall i up first?
you can put 1 point into additional dmg, then level up Final Dmg
If you're focused on levelling or have the mesos for 2 pages, you can start a second page and put points into exp first
you mean the hyper stats i up the final dmg first?
Oh sorry I see you said hyper skill, not stat
you can do blade fury reinforce first
If stats what shall i up first i added final dmg 1 time already
Yes added blade fury and what next ya?
Don understand this
Additional dmg is deals additional skill dmg upon attacking?
Okay in the cash shop, we can purchase something called hyper stat page expansion. so what happens, we get 2 pages to uses hyperstats, ideally bossing on page 1, training on page 2. this requires you to have extra mesos since you'd be buying more stats (you get the same points for both pages per level, so it's not like you lose points)
Yes that's correct
So for your bossing page, you'd start off by putting 1 point in there
then:
20 points in final dmg, 19 points in additional dmg, the next 20 points would go into max dmg increase or physical dmg (it will depend on your stats and gears)
Whereas someone who is solely focused on levelling would put 20 points in exp, 20 points into party exp (this is something a lot of players do later on, but if you're only focused on levelling you can do it first since we're not really doing any meaningful bossing until past lv200)
But i still need up final dmg and addtional skill dmg? Since im low level now
You don't have to put points into anything really, you're only level 145. You can save your mesos until you need the points later on (let's say to help kill faster if you have trouble surviving SF maps)
I got a free discounted voucher which i would like to use it on any stats im going to add
Just wondering which one shall i add
Since i have 1 final dmg already
Oh i see, you can put 1 point into additional dmg increase
then continue on with final dmg
Gotcha thank you!
V2 is main mobbing I wouldn’t consider v3 mobbing. Its okay
It's not bad, definitely our 2nd best mobbing skill but pretty much everything pales in comparison to V2
I'm hyped for V2 then
Got my DB to SF180, it's actually surviving surprisingly well
Question: will there be any improvement in the db for later since they nerfed it, you see a lot of the difference, there are still many abilities that without a disgust outside of their hyper, but their v2 and v3 is not a good thing at all. Good db to guide me
I thought I'd do a Changing Jobs to Paladin
But I've already invested a lot in nodes and hypers
If you can wait until V4, it will be worth it
Pending changes from kmsm:
-Increase v2 cooldown to 15s to match with v3
-increase v1 cool down to 120s(damage compensated with more lines in v1,2,3)
After v4
-reduce delay for v2/3 for smoother chain casting
-remove cd for blade clone
Wtf they're going to increase the cooldowns?
i think it's 30s at all levels, just skill dmg goes when levelled
It'll be changed to 2mins in the future like ej said
Is that change confirmed? I prefer the way it is currently
Once we get our v4 it’s going to help out a lot on dps so in between the cooldowns we’ll be good
But then mobbing is gonna take a hit with the increased cooldowns
Blade fury will have a burst also don’t forget
Hope we get all that sooner than v4
post 200 farming is the same reason why phantom is the bis farmer
That would be awesome but v2/v3 changes happened like almost 9 months ago and we still waiting 
They'll probably just do a lot of the changes at once, the regular old copy and paste 
76 lines every 3s when using phantom blow
where do you get the patch note? tried to google but cant find any
thank you
Only felt like a nerf as qol since the status resist and mobility is so good
But battle analysis from kmsm is showing good result
Can’t really take value on paper since you get to cast more of other skill like phantom blow in between the cd
Let’s say you spend 10s on each v1 casting, you spend 40s to hit 48 lines vs 10s to hit 30 lines, you have 30 extra seconds to cast other skills so it looks like a great compensation
Especially with our v4
As ajit mention our v4 deals 76 lines every 3s so that’s 760 extra lines we get to squeeze in
Yeah from kmsm’ testing it even outperform casting aa twice
So it’s only a qol nerf to adjust for
Excited nonetheless
I think Shad is pretty happy with their v3 adjustment that’s very similar to our v1
Should affect us the same
But carpal tunnel syndrome is a real thing..
real carpal tunnel syndrome was manually using meso explosion as a shadower before they added autocast 
Yess my exalts passed just 2 more to pass now
Keep going ! The real grind starts at lvl 200
Hi guys, any tips for surviving at Sf144? I had s rank and full level leng dagger+ 1mythic armor and other unique eq
Yess
Upgrade the dagger to mythic most likely should fix the dying issue
Also max level?
Just until you can kill faster than they can attack you
Max level would be nice
Also, show your skill whel
Blade fury only
Add final cut and sudden raid for the final damage boost
Noted! Thanks how about when i reached 170level grab the asura as well?
Do you have S rank jewels
If you want that's fine but it doesn't make much of a difference in mobbing
Then you should most likely be good to go after mythic
I see Asura only for bossing ya
How about second weapon?
Don't put asura on ur training wheel, you'll just spin in one spot on platform corners
Ok noted thanks!
But that's still going to be less lines than paladin, blaster, luminous, etc right?
We’ll never know until we get v4
What hyper skills order?
pre 200: blade fury reinforce, deadly crits, 3 in final cut
post 200: 3 in phantom blow, final cut enhance, cd cutter
Ajit do you put blade clone on ur pet? Or we manually use it during bossing
Also is the standard 4cd/2ba good?
I used to manually use it, but now I put on pet because management gets quite hectic for Damien and most content is done pretty quickly (every boss except lotus, damien). I still manually cast it for SC though
Right now I use 5 CD, 3 BA. I used to use 4/4 but got another item and it happened to have diff emblem. So i'd say you're in the right direction
For post 200, you removed the final cut persist. This will drop the final dmg boost for all skills from 50sec to 45sec (after including 2 x Sudden Raid casts). Is this more optimal compared to having the extra 20% cd for phantom blow hyper skill?
Hi guys, any advice for my eq got 5 yellow s jewel now , i wanna to survice in SF144 , currently will die randomly
any top db's have some time to answer a couple questions? if you could shoot me a dm would be very much appreciated!
Change those rings to exp boss rings, fuse gloves, shoulders, cap to legendary, cpb belt
And ideally jaihin weapon
Yes since a lot of our damage still comes from phantom blow, it helps to increase the damage on the clone lines
Unique , leng or Mythic Jailhin weapon?
I believe most things have been discussed here, it’s also better to ask here because we could all still learn
Jaihin cd/ba weapon
this can found at trade station?
If you can’t afford one just hold off on the one you have rn but fuse it to mythic in the meantime
Get it thanks
This one (cd or ba) but get at unique so you can sf to 20 before ranking up
This phy attack better then utgard?
Huh? Not really sure what you’re asking. I assume you meant phy attack emblem. No, phy attack emblem weapons are trash, they are fodder. Utgard is alright for training but you ultimately want at least a mythic in order to survive 144
For weapon emblems always get jaihin cd (crit damage) or ba (boss damage), ideally cd. The rest are trash
I see, out of budget now so better i up my utgard to mythic first?
So far i can survive for 1 hour then after that dead, maybe because of leave party or what
Taking 3 it to take down mons
Blade fury final cut and sudden raid
Am my ab skillwheels is correct?
Yeah thats about it
Fuse it?
Yes
Utgard fuse to any type of weapon?
What stone?
Sorry my stupid, Never did this before
The second one
But I would advise against ranking up ur weapon
Just fuse it with another legendary
You mean i buy another leng dagger with max level and fuse them ?
Better then rank up to mythic?
That’s the only way to fuse, yes
Doesn’t have to be dagger
It can be any weapon
If fused but no dagger im don have extra dagger
You can either fuse or rank up, that’s up to u. I personally wouldn’t just because it’s a normal weapon and stones are hard to come by (I usually use these stones for exalt fodder) but that’s too early for u anyways
If u put dagger first when you fuse, it’s always going to be another dagger
It won’t change
For example: I fuse sf20 jaihin dagger with sf0 gun
I will get random sf19 dagger everytime
Might even get an emblem dagger but the chances are so low it’s laughable
Everytime fuse the sf will drop?
Even i fused it before?
But if unlucky i fused and get normal dagger and minus to 19
True
But at this point in ur progression it doesn’t really matter
You will want jaihin cd anyways
For end game
If u land bruiser for example, it will still outperform ur leg utgard
Just because it mythic
how many % chance will get this type of dagger?
Its this really matter for farming only?
Example if i fused it get normal dagger + minus 1sf meaning my phy attack drop also
Ok not really big chance , suggest direct but from ts?
How does Cadena compare to DB? In terms of damage and fun to play?
fun is a personal thing. you should try both and see which is more fun to you.
I have both 🤓
Db felt easier to play. I’m already busy with combo without reaching 200 on cadena.
Thank you for your kind response! I'll switch it up then, thanks again!
I personally enjoyed DB a lot more so far, I have both and I'm halfway considering giving up on the 200 grind for Cadena but it seems like it's a fairly decent farmer
Made it, this is gonna be one super strong farmer
db or bust
No main but my Paladin has maxed nodes so I guess I can kinda call it that but I bounce around between a few classes
definitely good to have alt good enough to do end game bossing going forward
new db was wondering whats the skill wheel for ab
Blade fury sudden raid. And mirror target
Hi guys, any advise for surviving at sf168? Currently can stay for 1-2hour with 70% 8 pot
7 boss effect + yellow s set
What kind of yellow set?
Exp
Jewels, the S set prevents KBK
Hey guys what should be next step.. I’ve sort of gotten to a stand still
I was gonna say buy my mythic cd emblem pensalir shoe but you got ancient😂
Yoo what’s that colorful ring you got on btw
It was an event ring that you could’ve leveled up every day
Yup lol I’m just so jammed up on what to do next .. or to start a new character 🤦🏼♂️
You can work on getting ba/cd emblems and v matrix
more future wise but if you have alts that can do chaos daily dungeon, you can get tradeable mythic ba/cd gears to try and attempt necro on
Has DB become alot weak?
Gear is what makes you strong lol
Play a class you enjoy
Say that to blaster 😂
Blasters suck? 😮
The bug make em suck
For 1-2 min content, we don't really stand like we used to cuz most classes have a stronger 2min burst post v3. We're missing quite a few rebalances, add that with v4 in june/july and we'll be in a much better position.
Good job on obtaining your bossing trinodes (asura, pb and blade clone). Keep opening nodes for your ab trinodes (blade fury, sudden raid and increased blade mastery)
I have my skill trinodes split up between ab/bossing. That way, we can maximize the slots for other buffs/skills.
This is @verbal delta ‘s nodes himself

Thanks can I also see a comparison of everyone’s skill wheels AB and bossing
Better to have another node with asura/pb
Can I get a price check on this? Na scan
What is that in third row far left, is that V4?
Yeap

Can’t wait for that one right thurrrr
Where you see this at
Mango stream from yesterday
What’s his YouTube channel
Or where can I go to watch that stream
#메이플스토리m #잔망고 [생방 일정] - 매주 월~목 오후 6시 30분 넥슨 크리에이터 후원등록 바로가기 링크 (공짜!) : https://creators-support.nexon.com/kr/support/register/1276/Mango8928?shared=truePC버전 ...
Was part of this I think
Wish I knew what he was saying lol
Returning player. Any tips on where to improve? I quit shortly after V matrix got released.
Putting all v skills in, prolly can put more boost node over skill nodes for now
Say what now 😅
get all your main 5th job attacking skills in, blade tempest, blades of destiny, blade tornado then equip boost node as much as possible instead of using decent combat order/sharp eye
Right! Gotcha.
May I ask what % are your BA and CD?
self buffed
~452% CD
~190% BA
What are sources of BA? I’m struggling to get past 120%
3 emblems 30%
3/3 mlabel 20%
2 souls 6%
link skills 14%
commander set ~8% or something
potentials <10%
mpets 3%
5set necro 10%
msw 15%
decent si 9%
legion 15%
10% title
should be most of my ba excluding passives i think
I have 2 emblem. 3/3 mlabel (1 set no pony). No link skill since most of my link skill are exp and FD and MD
Commander set is being worked on but 7 boss set does five 5%
Msw 15% from emblem?
10% title? Like the black pink title or
So just a lot of places that I could have gotten BA, I went with FD and MD instead
Seems like next big boost will be pony for 10% for me then
msw 15% is from refine
10% title is from noble guild title (from web, doesn't apply to flames cuz it's considered a "buff")
Yeah the 3/3 will be a nice boost since it's another 5% pd too
Ah so not really available to most players
With a msw and web title
I guess my dmg is still ok since because of my choices, I have more MD and FD, it just makes my ba scaling looks horrible
You can get 8-10% from a max refine lsw I believe
title, there will be a better one in the future whenever we get the pb x yeti event lol. been a long time waiting though
I think for the most part as long as you're scaling to hp/mp/ba you'll probably be fine, raw attack isn't the biggest deal breaker
Oh right. I do have a lsw refined lv8 that I’m rolling pot on. Will wait til I equip it
Future gears and sets basically give those specific flames infinite potential since they will always increase hp with ever new gear
Well my ma is only 37k and it seems to make my scaling suffer
is everything 2L including android?
Yep
What level are you?
Right now I’m sitting on most of them unique flame 2 line scaling to 0.6% hp
- I’m missing af lv215
Oh yeah you'll be 40k+ once you get those missing symbols
Pretty future proof, that's good
I’m missing 1k from not equipping my lsw, 1.5k from af lv215 so once I have those two I should be close to 40k
Which is like a good check point right?
Just sucks to see my BA scaling gives 131 MA…. 
yeah that's definitely tough to see
But at least you know that it'll increase with time 
Like u said, future proofing
And my session of $300 worth of leg flame was… brutal
Kinda painful to roll away my good unique flame and wasted $100+ on trash leg flame
Flame packs is how nexon makes most of their monies
you try to fix 1 flame and end up having to go thru multiple packs to end up w something worse
Like I might be better off selling my current gear
And buy a new piece w good flame. Maybe take a $50 loss but guarantee good flames
That's why i usually say once you have a "good enough" leg flame, just keep it since it's not worth the $ to try and roll for an additional 100-200 atk at best
For most set ups anyways
Aren’t u a DB main ajit? I thought db w clone go full cd but u mix in lots of ba
I roll ma scaled to exp and scaled to hp, but it’s scaled to the lowest setting so I roll it away. It’s basically the same as 2 unique flame scaled to exp
BA isn't entirely useless imo, since it scales with skill dmg%. Most of my stats are pretty equal atm, I'll probably switch the last 2 souls to fd but that's fot a later time
hopefully the flame rng gods are in your favour next time around 
What’s your fd

I’ve been basically aiming for 400% cd. whenever I move over that, I’d try to change something up for more ba
i think like 50 something unbuffed
Damn I’m around 50% but with mana overload and Cygnus fd soul on all
oh evan
i guess i just automatically everyone in here is a db 
Well at least you made a good choice, y'all gonna be even more op after v4
some of the class passives might differ leading to some differences in gearing (i use blue pd, evans use purple ba) so if you got evan-specific questions, mushu from the mage server is always happy to help
Started following the convo to gain some info and scrolling to find out you’re an Evan is the biggest trip lol

Hey I ask questions randomly. You’ll be surprised what you can learn and apply to your own class
need skill build for lv 100 db guys @@
all your skills will be maxed from lv100 to 140, so just focus on the passives first, then blade fury, then it doesn't really matter
Based on what I told u about my gear above, do u think PD jewel is better for me?
Feels like all the BA sources that you point out I roll it to MD or FD instead so my scaling suffers
I use blue pd jewels, all the evans i know use purple ba
Why pd? Your ba scaling is so high? Unless u roll max hp on all of them?
My PD is lower than my BA after buffs, so I try to bring up my lower stat
When i eventually change my last 2 ba souls, that's another 6% BA lost that could've been for flames
yes
if you go with fd on armour, i think it's generally recommended to go for RA+ souls, i'd go as far as saying to match your wep soul
because with a potent BA flame build, you get a lot of return with the 12-18% or whatever you'd be getting from armour souls
Hmm
That’s rough tho. I don’t wanna roll hilla mag soul :)) I’d end up spending a lot
The Cygnus set cost less than 1b total for all that
if you have a lot of BA flames you can probably just use hilla BA
idk how much of difference they make atm vs 12% fd from cygnus
Yea and I’m not familiar w how to use the damage calculator
I mean I’m still capping on bosses without defense
And my v3 caps on ark
So probably leave it be. Once I roll ark mdc, then I’ll switch to ark ba soul
that's a good plan
and as for damage calculators, they're okay if you're testing against bosses with 0 def, but after that we don't really know what other def they have other than stuff like crit resist and mdc reduction so they don't have the most accurate results
They’ll likely come out w pony set again for the fragment shop right
pony set is guaranteed every year during moon fragment event, which aligns with whenever chinese new year is
in kmsm their latest mlabel has gloves, so that'll be the third set you can do 3/3 with
Hmm
What’s the other set
I only know of pony
I’m debating whether or not I should get pony during fragment shop
Or would the set after shadow set has one and wonder what the price will be
season 1, with the fairy spark gloves
you already got 1 piece of pony, i'd just get the next 2 pieces
3rd set from kmsm
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PQVdIFJH6dI
looks like it was in their moonfrag shop, maybe we're getting this instead 
Didn’t see gloves in that set
bracelet
5k frags per box
idk about scania but inosys the boxes usually go anywhere from 5-9b
Hmm that box will have the whole set right

Do u know when mlabel shadow set (current) will stop? How long they usually around for
there's no set time, shortest was <4 months (season 2) and longest was the snow or red/black one, each 10months++
Hey Guys,
What’s the best hyperstats to do for a dual blade. Crit?
And also what are the best nodes to have ?
Hi guys, just wondering this jaihin worth to buy ? Currently using non emblem bloody mythic level 30
How much tho
5B#
Not bad, necro 40 in my server cost 25b so you can gauge with this comparison
- Max FD, ADI first. You can choose MDI or PD as the next 2 (if you cap go with MDI first, if you don't then go w PD first).
- Focus on PB, BC, and Asura first for boost nodes.. V skills our V1 does the most dps so i'd prioritize maxing that first
Exalt before inherit or nerco?
Yeah cheaper that way
Shall this weapon go for nerco since i havent reach 200level yet cannot farm a ton of mesos in short time
Thanks you prompt reply , just considering if the weapon craft for nerco it gonna need alot of mesos and source
What is your suggestion for this?
Or maybe inherit will do?
Necro weapon really is the way to go. Exalting is definitely not cheap and easy but it’s the only way up
What is the min cost for exalting to level 40?
IMHO a level 30 necro is good enough for a long time until you get a proper necro up
Fodder cost 300m and whatever it cost for the process per attempt
I see So it costing around 1-2B to level 40
Better check your server for anything tbh
Inb4 other full exalted is around 3-4b then it’s prolly overprice
Noted thank you!
This is a horrible deal for 5b
expensive?
How much is worth?
What's the max level on it
Currently no one selling unique jaihin cd ,
Looking for a dagger cd with reasonable price so hard
?
What do you mean this?
Is it level 40?
32
But its a jaihin CD?
How much would you think its a reansonable?
2-2.5 Max
Even that would be overpaying in my opinion
Since it's just a mythics and not level 40
But in A2S hard to find a jaihin CD weapon
I been waiting for 1 month
Until today only i saw a jaihin cd dagger with
What’s your suggestion, since im low funded player and reaching 200lvl soon but i havent get emblem eq yet
Maybe i get other type of CD weapon and go for inherit first?
Which would be cheaper then jaihin
Or maybe i change other job? Still considering between db and NL to be my main acc
Your call
I have a Jaihin level 40 but it's not CD
If you wanna buy let me know
Ok sure thank you
Dumb question.. I crafted Asura boost nodes.. can’t seem to find it at all where do it go or how does it work?
It becomes asura base (left) with 2 other random skill
^ what EJ said
I'd advise against crafting boost nodes, just use whatever you get from opening nodes. Better to save shards to craft V skills
You'll get all of them, but Blade Tempest (v1) for bossing and Blades of Destiny (v2) for training will help you the most off the bat
Blade Tornado (v3) is nice as well for training
I like how all DB V skills are active skills
Btw is clone line reflected on battle analysis?
Yes clone lines are part of the line count of the skills it works for
Hi everyone, what would the next skill I put in for my vmatrix be? Shadow walker, venom burst, hyper body, combat orders? I’m not really sure where to go next to maximize my slots
V3
U should also prioritize perfect trio of blade clone, phantom blow and asura. Will only take 2 slots and free up more slots for shadow walker / decent nodes
I’m trying D: those puppies don’t want to come home
Can anyone explain Last Resort to me, and how/when/where you use it? I haven't tried it yet because I only have enough slots rn for shadow walker and venom burst. Are you all using it in any bosses and what are are results? 🤔
Just do it in combo with dark sight and shadow walker during burst
I’d prefer last resort over venom burst slot
Since we have passive poison even without vb
Unless your vb is decently levelled it’s only doing <5% overall dps
Is ba really bad compare to cd? Few of my guildies even used emb chg scroll changed lv5 ba back to cd 😲
That’s mostly because of the indefinite cap now with gears
If you’re around 20m cap it doesn’t really matter
Cap is easy for main hits but clone hits far to hit cap 🥲
Why do most top DBs have a bloody weapon instead of say Jaihin? I thought CD Jaihin was best for all classes including DBs
That's just how necro looks, 99% of them all have CD% option selected
Ah ok gotcha thanks
Thank you, I never looked at how good it is once it's leveled up. Last Resort looks pretty sick.
Ya the passive stat boost is nice too
All in on Dualblade or shadower?
Dual blade
shadower is stronger rn for bossing
db may be better in the future after v4 (no guarantee)
can i see ur guys skill preset and skill set please
@verbal delta is capping clone line more important than raising mdc?
I think for 99% of players, raising MDC will net the most gains
A good way is to check your fog training (buffed) to see which skills are capping, what's doing the most dps, etc
Coz I’m seeing player with 380cd and 100ba capping with 16m mdc
In lotus
comes from my experience working on a lot of stat on my mage to 160ba and 430cd and I cap even our smallest line with 100% skill dmg , granted they aren’t clone line.
I’m gearing up a merc, which has clone and now I’m thinking more toward hp% potential for her , even 1 line cd% and 1 line hp% on weapon. And all hp% instead of phy att% on hat n such.
The idea is eventually like my Evan, I’ll cap our main line as I get more stuff like mlabel n heart n commander set. And instead of spending on getting that perfect 2 line cd% or phy att%, I should do hp%
This is why I’m having the dilemma
Merc can do crazy DPS with a lot less mdc compared to other classes, but every class will be different in terms of what stats to maximize and whatnot (because of differing skill damage %s, nodes, overall importance of said skill, etc). When you're at the point of capping every possible skill you use, then you definitely need to increase MDC
as for HP potentials, unless it's for Damien, I wouldn't be concerned about cubing for them
As merc, we do have 25 20 and 15 clone line. Even a 550%cd 130ba 45k pa is only hitting 11m on the 25% line in ark
Kinda like the argument that his gear is insane with msw and lv50 necro
But the investment in the msw and lv50 necro if go into higher mdc in armor , which raises the overall dmg done by our main skill (which I assume is more line than those clone) , will net overall dmg
If the above is true, why would I stress the potentially 9% cd I’m missing out now while I probably will cap eventually in a few months
I used to hear advice on capping clone lines a lot but I’m wondering if raising mdc is more important (as long that the main line is still capping obviously, if it isn’t then time to improve offensive stat)
So people like to mention capping clone lines because it's a way to increase damage without having to invest in more mdc (which can be expensive depending on your current character state). In terms of importance, having more total MDC will probably be better, esp in fully buffed situations. I know a Merc with abso weapon, msw, full 50s, etc that still doesn't cap every line but that's just the clones. Him increasing his overall mdc led to bigger jumps in of overall DPS. But not capping can be seen as a good thing I guess, usually means the class has more potential to increase damage vs other classes that are hard capped with no kind of clone damage.
Gotcha
Would u say it’s a bad idea then if I keep the above potential ?
Seems like capping isn’t very hard nowaday, looking to fund this merc eventually to the 17m range
And merc so squishy I can always use the hp pot
Indecisiveness just from seeing how my Evan has been capping pretty consistently and now I wish I had more hp/mdc rather than raw stat. And I’m still using a usw
And lv210
If I had to choose between Evan and Merc, I'd probably stick with Evan
They're op even now if you know what you're doing, and get even better after v4
Evan is my main
I’m funding this as my 2nd
So just thinking from what I wish I would have done w my Evan instead pov hence wanting to keep this hp%
But asking around since it’s my first time dealing w clone class
personally i would rr it as you can get the hp pots from other armours and accessories
As in one of the few places for high cd% roll right
I see your point. Every gear can only roll 3.4% hp, but not all gear can roll 9.5% cd
yes, we can only get cd% from wep, swep, heart, rings
so when trying to roll for hp%, you want to go for items that wil have the least impact on damage, like pa% or flat atk
Am I greedy for rolling this away?
probably
i know it's better to keep rolling reds to get CD% on lines2 and 3, then choice cube the first line so you can try to aim for that
Last time I passed something like this
I ended up rolling 1300 free cubes
To finally get 2 line again like this
Just ptsd

Just talking to myself realistically I won’t likely get 9.5 and 9.5. More like 9.5 and 7 or 8 and 8, hence I said I usually roll 16-17% cd total
Never say never
It could take 1 cube
Or 50000 
I roll it away. I’m glad I listen to you!
I got 2 cd and 1 max hp line now

Is db op yet 
Hoping for March rebalance 🤞 I sent another ticket a few weeks ago saying we need those kmsm changes from a year ago
Maybe I should drop some too, maybe no one is dropping db feedback so nexon think it’s fine
How you send tickets ?
If you open the menu from top right, go to settings, the last tab has a button called "customer service"
And you can ask questions, report bugs, submit feedback/improvements, etc
Nexon website itself ?
@verbal delta

Tankssss
1 BA emblem weapon and 4 cd emblem gear now. In long term, 6 cd 2 ba better or 5cd 3ba?
6/2 cd/ba if ur thinking long term but won't be the biggest difference if you end up with 5/3, we get so many stats from items + set bonuses nowadays
Alright. Because cd share eq are super expensive compared to BA. Maybe i will spend meso on necro attempts or getting an exp weapon instead. Thanks for replying!
Good luck!
