I read the entire topic and didnt find an answer to my question. on costume upper and middle do u guys suggest i use atk% enchants or str+1 str+1 on each of them? is +2% atk better or +2 str??

[blackCROSSCY]

nobody can give you an answer because it depends on your gears and stat setup. There are calculator resources given to you on this tread for gear comparison, make use of it. Comparing 2 str and 2% atk is too miniscule to give any general answer.

Hello, just want to ask for anyone who already got ME5 are we still need to use phen card or better decard it ?

[aznspikey]

Just need to stop at ME3. MA becomes instacast at that point while wearing Enforcers ofc. There really isn't need for phen-like effects. 

 

There are times when your gonna face bosses that have Slowcast skill i.e. Bee, Ent. Might need phen for those times. Assuming they're not dead within 3-5 secs. lol

[Hendra88]

OK gonna stick with that then thank you

Hi, thanks for the guide! Question on Weapon is JDR the way to go weapon if you chose the katar route for this build? Is it not possible for other katar weapons like Crimson Katar to become its alternative? May I also know your thoughts when using Katar and Dual Wield weapons like their Pros and Cons? Thanks in advance!

[hammie]

if crimson katar is all you have you can still kill majority of what this game has to offer in a timely manner. JDR is just a better option. 

[MoyuZ777]

My take on Bio5. Enjoy!

 

[PHalxNJ25]

Hi Thanks for the reply guys!

 

  @hammie: I take it that crimson katar is also an option then? Nice, I'm more fund of katar weapons and I was worried that JDR is the only viable weapon for this build.(I hope I'm not misunderstanding something again T_T)

                     Anyways thanks again!

 

  @MoyuZ777: Thanks for sharing! It's quite interesting that Anemos Shield is also possible will watch the whole of the video  given the time.  

 

[hammie]

crimson katars are viable but there's better options if you can afford them.

Thanks man. Address your concern regarding katar weapons. Crimson Katar is more than capable for all of the content we currently have in iRO. JDR is just the Lexus of Toyota's if you know what I mean.

[PHalxNJ25]

Hi, Thanks for the reply again guys!

 

@hammie: This puts me at ease knowing there are other viable katar weapons aside from JDR but eventually I hope to get my hands on some JDR. Thanks!

 

@MoyuZ777: Thanks for the comparison man, very much appreciated it

I received the request from my friend that MA still has casting time even with Enforcer's Shoes and ME lv3.

I checked his replay and found that MA has negative value of casting time (shows -2 milliseconds).

So I figured out that because of Enforcer's Shoes itself.

Enforcer's Shoes reduces casting time of Meteor Assault by 105%.

My friend GX has 98 Dex and 129 Int.

So his remaining casting time after calculate casting time reduction from Dex and Int is 54 milliseconds.

Enforcer's Shoes reduces casting time by 56 milliseconds.

(the minimum threshold of casting time is 1 millisecond so anything that be lower than 1 will be rounded down).

 

So the remaining casting time after calculate casting time reduction of Enforcer's Shoes is 54 - 56 = -2 milliseconds.

And the system magically convert this negative value to positive value, becoming 2 milliseconds instead.

That's reason of MA casting time even with Enforcer's Shoes and ME lv3.

Thanks for the explanation. How do we achieve instant cast MA now?

[Ashuckel]

the exact described way, using the shoes and an ME3 enchanted bio5 hat.

What he askin is how to take off that -2 millisecond cast to achieve instacast

Hi guys, due to lagness and delay, was considering to get a more universal gear that does not require switching too much (might be dying a lot / a bit is expected), i need opinion a few things below 

 

im planning on going 3WK RTE + 4 Abysmal main gauche, with J.ring+ Mob scarf combo+ skin of Ladon

 

was wondering if

 

1:For the secondary accessory slot, should i go verus, or giant protection? or is there any other better options?

 

2: For Armor, should i go fire dragon armor, med scrub or evil dragon armor?

 

3: do i need a phen card ?   

 

4: What do you suggest to slot in my old bone circle if im slotting in engkanto in sunglasses?

 

 

 

Planning to add my stats like this:

Str 120

Agi 80

Vit 80

Int 3

Dex 42

Luk 125

Technically you can.
As I said. The minimum threshold of casting time is 1 millisecond.
So when the exceed 5% vct reduction of Enforcer's Shoes is lower than 1 millisecond it will be rounded down.
The maximum remaining casting time that can do is 19 milliseconds. (19 × 5% = 0.95 milliseconds)
To reach 19 milliseconds casting time of MA you need at least 92.4% vct reduction from dex and int which can be achieved by the following equation.
(dex × 2) + int >/= 452

It's a fairly solid item; would be more solid if it was fixed though.

What can i use for sustain ? if Thanatos, what can be a good, Sword, Dagger or Katar ? I think about 2 Swords, it really provides more sustain in comparation with katar ? or i'm wrong, i'm pretty new to GX, and even more new to MA build

So for max dmg you want seraphim coronet, which means you need to tune your stats to 120 int. There is a stat build that is good for that in this chat. Evil dragon is best for lvling, once your farming you want to use Icefall dress and abyss armor for dmg, nature dress for Demi human stuff. Only time you need a phen card is for mvp’s with slow cast. Use perverse demon mask in right acc. And verus or giant protection. Is this endgame or just lvling. You won’t need either to kill all the stuff you need for lvling to 175

[Deafice]

So, quick question since I'm kinda building towards this MA build. Have any of the recent content updates altered the build that was initially described in the OP? I don't wanna get all this stuff and suddenly find that it's been outclassed by newer gear.

[ZanRen]

still the same. however, they are maybe planning a nerf for the enforcer shoes, which is a core of the build, so up to you if you wanna wait or go for it.

Isn't it too late for them to do that? Is this already official?
