Hello. I am currently level 125 mado and I'm having some trouble to kill scarabas. They rapidly use Stone Skin after my first Arm Cannon. After that, every skill that I use deals a -_-ty damage and can't kill the mob without using an monstrous amount of skills, sp and hp items.

Is there a way to solve that? Some strategy or order of skills that might kill the mob before casting Stone Skin? 

If not, is there a better map for leveling without this kind of painful trouble?

Thanks a lot for helping.

they use stone skin at half HP, after that you do only 1/3 dmg to them. i found my method to fight them is using temp dex boots to spam arm cannon, i also enhcant it with bear power. they are also vulnerable when they are casting stone skin. kill them fast!

I tested Flame Launcher and it deals physical fire damage, so it's reduced by Stone Skin and deals less damage than endowed Arm Cannon overall.
I can only kill them without trouble if I manage to do it before the Stone Skin. So I might get more dex points for faster cast and use the temporal boots, as suggested.

I remember there was some kRO video of a Mado using flame launcher on scarabs. The cast time / cast delay etc. formula is pretty different from Arm Cannon so it's possible certain setups will let you spam flame launcher faster and out-DPS arm cannon. This is all theoretical though of course.

Is this it?

They're using the new Mechanic parts from Charlston Instance that reduces a lot of cast delay, which we don't have yet. They're also using the Knightage + Old Knightage card combo which I don't think have dropped in our server yet, if not at least super rare. I think Flame Launcher is quite useful in our server yet, other than looking pretty badass.

Try to use different levels of Arm Cannon. Level 1 have a 0.5s delay, so you have enough time to cast an AC level 3 before the Stone Skin cast ends. I used to do the 1,1,1,3 sequence, but 3,1,3 works too.
