I was reading some older threads and I found a lot of people stating that SP should not be a problem with Genetic CC leveling and we should not have to use things like RWH+9 to maintain our SP. I have found that I spend more than 50% of my time grinding wearing a RWH to keep my SP up and the rest of the time split between CoD and Rudolphs hat for HP. So I feel like I spent a lot of zeny on getting this CoD only to spend very little time actually using it. Here are some of the responses I read...
1) Your int is too low - my stats are 61 str/1agi/40vit/100int/ 83 dex/1luk
2) Your damage is too low so you are casting CC to many times - my CC hits for roughly 10-11k at level 107/22 hunting in Nogg with Holy Balls. I am using Holy balls because this 1 shots the Nightmares and Devruchis. Using Iron Cannon Balls I have to cast CC twice to kill every mob in the zone. My gear has been working towards fast CC casts so I am wearing 3/2 and 3/3 RWC rings with CoD+9 (saving for KK cards), but I am using a iHBP instead of the FAW since it is what I had (this may change in the future).
3) You just shouldn't be having SP problems using CC build - Is my perception of what SP problems are skewed? I dont carry any SP items and expect to be able to kill everything in Nogg 2 as i encounter it walking through the zone. Do most people sit and regen sp occassionally?
Random Questions...
What should I plan to do when the 2000% bonus on Rudolph expires? Are other people using slims, hell poodle/snowier cards, or WPH switching? Should I be kiting more and using less consumables? I can chew through roughly 800 carrots in 30 minutes. Are the bonuses on Fish in Mouth for Fresh Fish actually worth it and why is it so expensive?
How will a build focused around HBP be different than FAW?
Thanks in advance!
