If somebody could explain what mvp I can possibly do and what equipment armor to help. I know that this class isnt so strong so it helps to which one are possible

[kasshin]

I posted something about that recently here: http://forums.warppo...uild/?p=2073730

It's generally not worth it to solo MVPs with maestro/wanderer. It'd be more of a "for-fun" thing that you don't spend a lot of money / time on, or as something you farm with on instances that have cooldown etc.

Maestros are a great support class and you'd improve a friend's DPS greatly in a lot of cases. So MVPs or some instance would become very easy for just two players (Maestro + Killer), whereas the same MVP or instance might be much harder / impossible without expensive gears for just one player.

Wanderers really get the short end of the stick here. Strings is unbelievably good for helping DPS but wanderers don't get that. Really the most you can hope for is helping a ranger or GX improve their ASPD or CRIT with swing dance, lady luck, etc.

Yeah, performers aren't much of the killer-type class. I have accepted that for more than a while now.


Heck, I even have a very hard time defeating Sara's father in Sara's Memory instance. What I do is cast Unbarring Octave and wait for it to freeze him then spam Tarot Card of Fate and wait for Coma. LOL.

Well, it is a hard ride, but it is totally doable. You should use Severe Rainstorm as your main killing skill. Think of it as a wizzard’s Storm Gust - an aoe skill that you aim on the ground and move away from it after casting. It is important to have instant cast (easily achieved with 2 sound amplifiers), so you cast it on the mvp and walk away from it (a hit and run scheme).

 

You should use guarana candy or speed potions for running faster. Anodynes also help in case they catch you. Also frigg’s song, genetic’s hp increase potions and +20 foods if possible. You can also use soul link spirit to buff yourself with the songs, but it is not a possibility when thinking about instances. 

 

But I think you should not go alone, at least in the beginning. You can invite a sura friend to tank the mvp while you kill it and help with gf (great damage bonus if you’re a wanderer), or a rg friend to sacrifice you and help with the killing too. The important thing is to make a party where you get to be the main killer and your partners are there to help you achieve it.

 

Don’t ever tell yourself that you can’t do something in the game just because other jobs can do it faster. We have 175 levels worth of stats in the game now and performers can do great in whatever it is they wanna do, and it goes way beyond being a buff slave for others to shine.

well any low tier MVP that you can find, I've done Amon Ra once but it takes quite some time due to his mob, not he himself lol. GTB, mistress(elemental resist needed), phreeoni are also good. I've done quite some time on Amon and Phree. Not recommending hunting Amon though. Aside from gtb, phree is good for you.

The problem with this method is when your Severe Rainstorm arrows hit something, you'll be stuck on that same cell you're standing on until the falling arrows stop. I know this because I use SR when I do Reno hunting quest. And, double sound amp does not give you instacast, it just gives you a relatively faster cast.

A lot of the MVPs you kill will be a lot more trouble/effort compared to other classes. So if you are looking into time spent / cost of consumables / reward and all those factors, it's not worth it if you have a couple killer type alts already. It'll be more of a "prove that you can do it" sort of thing, which nobody really cares about. However as I mentioned earlier, if you have for example five third class characters, you could take a performer to farm instances like Endless Tower every week, or Hazy Forest or something like that. This is because there's a long cooldown for things like Endless Tower so it sort of becomes worth it to clear a couple levels each week with the performer, especially if you've already used your other classes at ET for the week already. But in the case of Maestro, this is a REALLY popular class for ET groups, so you might want to "save" this for a serious run that goes all the way up to the top. Wanderers are rarely used for ET so by all means go clear the first 20 levels of ET every week if you really want to.

You might want to check this wanderer out 

[zefram]

maybe she could have used Double Strafe instead of normal attacks to make it faster.

[fuyukikun]

how to instacast SR:
double sound amp
temp dex boots
120 dex

[Kadelia]

Its been said I am sure, but the only things you can MVP on a wanderer are things you can kill with severe rainstorm. So you're pretty limited there. Stuff like Phreeoni, Moonlight, Eddga, Wanderering Dragon, you're probably OK.
