You'd better ditch rising blade or whatever skill is on your slot #3. Gratz anyways, Lighting aura+Bm1 looks cool. ^^
How come you guys get such events even with the new skilling system? <.<
I'm seriously thinking of coming to NA d:

You mean rising shot, not rising blade.
He's correct about the ditching though.
No AoE, no crit increase >>> DITCH

I'm trying to figure out what the code is for dark blue (royal blue). Not the regular blue.


The one I usually use is bright red "48"

Try this one:

Thanks Amelie

@tako: Yeah, I know, I always get confused about the 2 of them.

By the way, there's a friend of mine who is lvling a FB and asked me some tips, but I dunno what to tell him exactly :/
What he wants to know is:
-What debuffs to take
-Best PvE/PvP combo skills (aka best DPS in PvP)
-Are still cannons useful now that FBs got bm2 ?

Debuffs:
Enervation
Field of enervation
Execration
Field of execration
Mana freeze
Hard luck
Darkness

^me thinks they are the important ones.


Cannons:
Yes both BM's have their use. BM1 for surviving, BM2 for doing damage or so I've heard.


Stunlock PvE
Stigma > force slash > rising shot (yes the stupid skill the blader can't take xd) > gm > comp and repeat. Stunlocks upon timing.

Damage PvE
(Force assault) > comp > gm > force slash (multiple mobs)/force assault (1 mob) > comp > DoR > and than repeat the following until he breaks: gm/comp/DoR/assault/slash.

PvP (duels)
Start with force assault and force slash for DoT's, then it's important to keep up DPS and finish with comp or GM. Note comp can screw mêlée combo's from people who can't counter them thus can be used unlike any other comp skill in the middle of a combo provided the opponent isn't a nub.

Thanks a lot, but I did not get this note.

As for cannons I reckon they should be: Aqua (HP?), Stone (Def), Lightin' (Atk+) and possibly Fire (Atk+?).

Cannons:

Aqua, stone, lightning. Wind is optional. Lightning and fire won't stack afaik.

About the note:

Launching comp skill will make your char move thus any char that uses mêlée skills will chase yours. A decent player will however use range skills thus you'll waste the advantage of running and the obvious damage win.

Mh.. I pretty got it. Thanks again^^

P.S.: I like your way of typing melee

hhmm I see,well I just noticed that now I can have 7 skills,so im gonna buy back my Stab & Slash(but then again,it isn't a AoE dmg)

If I don't write mêlée my dictionary says it's wrong

Must be UK English spelling.

Scrolled all 23 pages. Downloading. Looks so ugly that it might run pretty good on my shitty laptop!. IGN will be: "Miyamusashi".

Edit;

Okay, installed it, but i can't login. After putting my ID and Password w/ it's retard ass system, i must "input following number/letter", however there's any, just "OK" and 2 minute counter½!



Best security i've seen; it makes users to want to HACK!

Edit 2;

Fix; installed new drivers. Seems to work.

Mêlée is french: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%AAl%C3%A9e

@Ipman: NA or EU? And btw, it might not look like that, but Cabal sucks a lot of your CPU usage.

Oh i see. Well first impressions of the game are pretty good. Doing those annoying first quests which every game must have. Graphics are terrible, but they've never been problem for me. So i guess i'll continue playing. Dont have clue about game heheh..

I'm EU and on Mercury (Miyamusashi).

Of course graphic's level isn't as good as SRO's one, but the skills are more, more and moremore flashy and entertaining.

Pm'ing you right now, but you don't seem to reply xD

I did. I've been using the same image but some of the colors there aren't accurate probably since that thing was used mainly on the first Cabal ep. I also tried doing 1-100 so I'm thinking the code used for the color I want is a 3-digit code. For now I'm sticking to 48. lol. thanks though.

edit:
Wind Cannon is a must. Since most FBs don't have a great defense, we mostly rely on our evasion for higher level boss hunts (Faello and higher). Also, IMO, BM2 is only good for PVE since you get to keep your buffs (and crit rate from light/ice) - the fact that we don't have Instant Immunity makes us very vulnerable in PVP situations when using BM2.

As far as debuffs go, darkness lvl 1 or 2 is good enough for me. You can play around with Field of execration (18-20), and Enervation (18-20). I chose to max -Def instead of enervation since it's more useful for pvp. You don't need -Attack Rate (you can keep it at lvl1 for show). The rest you can just max to 20.

For PVP combos, I usually skip Force Slash and jump from Force Assault to Assassinate if the opponent is a FB/BL. My stunlock sometimes has an open window for mobs to attack me once every "round" but it does more damage. F.Assault>Comp>GM>Stigma>Comp>GM>DOR/Abyssal>Stigma (repeat).

LOL. I was @ Sauna. I dont have any clue how to chat in this game. I know the window, but i havent had chance to try. Can you add me as your buddy or so, i seriously need 101 .

Yeah, we've finally done it D:

here is a video of FB pvp(kind old)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG49tjUT2pk&fmt=18

now, to be pro at PvP. add hard luck into ur combo.
to PvP FS, Wiz, FA and WA, add hard luck in the beginning.
PvP FB and BL, while u are chasing and ur skills is stuck, use the hard luck.

Or you can stick to PK matches where the fight isn't short, boring, and almost solely dependent on luck. Besides, people bitch about everything in PVP. Usually with those boring/mindless pvps, I do a no-short/no-debuff match.

I'm not liking this I'm at the point where at every level I get 5-6 quest thats brings me to 50% of my level and then I have to grind the rest

Poor you.

Exping with quests is slow up to lvl 75.
Then you exp to 100-110 in RS and B1F which is kinda fast provided you can cope with "danger".


BTW no quests after lvl 100 thus it's grind grind grind to the cap

Is the guy in the video using dash/fade step in combo for the first hit? O.o

no
he is using Force Kick or force assult
dash and fade cannot add to the combo during PvP.

They can, at least dash can.
For example: you click a mob which is about in a range of 9, then you click a skill that has range 1; while your char is running forward, in direction of the mob, you click dash pointing the mouse towards it and you'll be able to use dash in combo like a normal skill.

Yes, you can add Dash between 2 attacks. You can't initiate a combo with dash but you can use it in between. As for the Fade Step, some people say it's possible but I've tried many times and it just doesn't work for me.

I've just tested fade step in combo. It works, but it's too damn hard to keep the combo going, since fade step's casting time is really low.

The problem with fade step is that your combo bar continues from where it started.
If you dash in combo it start back at the start.

Or it looks like this.

Lol, that's why I kept breakin' it XD
