Warlock's Guide to PvM

I've tried wtfast and actually helps a lot, what im talking, that thing is magic, but, paying for a service to let you play The game lag is free is kind of, well, still can play the game without it, so, meh

Try out Leatrix Latency FIx. It's free and secure, all you'll be doing is change the registry from windows to sent and receive internet packets one by one instead of 5 by 5 for instance. This smooths out the connection.

As for WTFst, I used to have it for raiding in WoW, it helps but is too expensive for brazilians, there are other tunneling services but ultimatelly Leatrix worked for me.

I've used a method using the windows registry and some windows services (don't know if it's the same), which made iRO playable to me, but I still have some intermittent lag. Do you have a link for this method that you talked about?

It's a downloadable file if you don't know how to do it yourself, 100% secure.
If you're unsure of the method/files, do a quick research on google about leatrix latency fix.

Downloaded and installed it... it got... somewhat better. Don't know if it was thanks to Leatrix or not, but it was barely noticeable.

 

Thanks anyways.

I'm thank for your all answer for WL gear. For now I'm already became WL.

My gear use

+7 TSOD SP3/4

+7 Skull Cap

Improve Opera Mark

+4 Orlean Gown [Peco]

+9 FAW sp18

Orlean Server

Orlean Glove

Cat hand Glove [Creamy]

 

For now i got Elvira 2 ea can you recommend me for accessory for use with Elvira card?

 

Another question for head gear i got Ordinary Black Magician Hat Can you recommend me for card to use with it?  

RWC with MATK/spell enchants - Geffen Intensifier - Pendant of Maelstrom(?) Personally i dont like the last ones but some people say is ok

 

Two of each of course

 

RWC with perfect MATK enchant gives you 7% MATK each and can be further enchanted with 3 INT each (very expensive to make)

Geffen Intensifier gives you 5% MATK each and can be comboed with other gear from the instance (Just farming coins from Geffen Magic Tournament)

Pendant of Maelstrom gives you 6% and the chance of Maesltrom Proc (Need 2 different drops from the mvp of the intance to make, so take a while to make)

 

Or you can just bought everything, consider tho that RWC is still the more expensive because is account bound and you need cash shop items to reroll the enchants in case you get something you dont want.

 

For OBMH i just use elemental enhancers, and is just down to preferences, i have a tikbalang because i use a lot CL, others use ghost enhancers for SE, or fire enhancers for CR, see what are you going to use the most now and card accord to that. Some people also use KK, but i dont know im not a big fan of that particular card. Just my opinion.

My first Elvira went on an RWC pendant because I could buy a box in a sale for 71 M. So, I could let it sit down there until I can buy reset boxes. The problem with RWC accs is that if you are unlucky you can easily expend 1 bi in reset tickets to make the perfect acc, not counting the INT part mentioned by Sewasan. In fact the average cost of making a single MATK +3% x2 pendant, considering a rally box = 100 M + 80 M per reset ticket box, is something around 624 M 260 M (corrected math). So, I put my second one in a Pendant of Maelstorm, which I made for 120 M (they sell around 130 M in the market nowadays). Until now I don't regret my decision, in fact, it even neutralizes some monster spells, which end up helping me, though Maelstrom has a little global delay (1 sec?) that can also kill you sometimes. The Magic Intensifier Ring is very expensive, but is really nice IF you use Geffen Magic Robe or the Anti Magic Robe. Your damage will not be maxed, but you will gain a small cast and delay reduction, which is always appreciated. Maybe those can even make your DPS higher than the +2% MATK which you can get from RWC... I don't know.

 

OBMH has become very rare and expensive after we started to recommend it in the forums. XD I bought a lot of them for 4-6 M ea, made 3 +9 and still have one at +7 for a possible later use. Yesterday they were selling for 20 M.  Ideally you'll want a lot of these beauties, one with Tikbalang (for Chain Lightning and Wind Tetra Vortex), one with Lichtern Yellow (for Soul Expansion) and one with Lichtern Red (for Crimson Rock and Fire Tetra Vortex). The earth one (Lichtern Green) is not much needed, since Earth Strain has a huge cooldown, which makes it a not so popular spell. I even have a pair of Happy Parrots, one with Lichtern Yellow and one with Tikbalang. The secret is to have a lot of gears, and that make warlocks a very expensive class.

i just use mini glasses because they are cheaper xD for my extra tikbalang and lichtern. About the RWC is true, RWC is hella expensive and have the downer of being account bound, but is pretty much the best acc to maximize magic dmg right now. About Pendant of Maelstrom as i said is a matter of taste, i dont like it but kusa like it and use it a lot, so, is up to Gapja to decide. On the thing about geffen instensifier, is kind of expensive if you buy it with zeny, but you can also farm it getting coins from GMT. You probably wont end the thing but it doesnt matter because you will receive some coins either way for every match you win.

Yeah, it took me a lot of time to make the first one, earning 55 coins per run, and thanks to this increased exp month, it will take an even longer time to make another one.

 

Now I'm stuck at Fay Kanavian. If Sorc is the enemy, I can beat her with some effort and almost no Risk (but I always lose to Fenrir due to some bogus of my part, like understimating the area of her Comet, or due to lag...), but Fay hits hard! Even with fire armor and Fireproof potion, her bomb deals 6K+ dmg per hit and I she destroys my safety wall very quickly. Plus I once took an attack from her that almost one-shoted me, dealing more than 20 K damage! WTF?!

 

Figures I'll need a GSoD to finish her before she can finish me. XD

that attack is considerer melee and blocked by SW, what i do is, basically, SG the golem then run on the opposite direction to pull Fay away from the other thing because when they are both hitting you is more difficult, i always prioritize SW over dmg because if you cant finish her off quick then yeah you probably are going to be one shotted by that skill eventually. Fire armor is a must tho as you had said before (valk for avoid getting broke) i dont use fireproof because they dont stack additively so, is not thaaaat needed and then i just spam SE to her and refresh SW every now and then, use Quag to make her hits slower so she doesnt burn your SW that fast. Also keep an eye on the golem because keeping him away from the fight is key.

Thanks for the tips. Didn't know quagmire worked in boss monsters in renewal. I remember it not working in pre-renewal...

It always did? Offensive blessing is the thing that worked on demon mvps in ore renewal but was disabled in renewal.

For now i have . I'm plan to buy 3 OBMH. OBMH i'll try to refine all to +7. I think it'll use to many safe cer head gear.

Refine what you need, i mean take it slowly, get only what you need to start

Thank you very much. And for Crimson Rock and drain life which one is better than?

I'm already simulator skill. If i go on TV SE Radius max. I need to choose between drain life and CR

There are a few variables you need to consider when choosing between them:

1. Crimson rock has AoE of 7x7 whereas drain life is a single target.
2. Those playing the vertical firewall builds would find Crimson rock abit less desirable as its pushback effect (2 cells) may essentially push mobs out of the vertical firewall path. Crimson rock is therefore more of a quick finishing spell in that regard. Those that play with a style similar to kusa and sewasan benefit more towards having crimson rock at max level potential.
3. The formula in damage and amount healed is wrong on irowiki for drain life, there are also job lvl additives and base level influenced absorption amounts for the skill.
5. Crimson rock does not have an int stat scaling like most other warlock skills so its in the longrun less damage, but its still very powerful. Also considering sp cost / cooldown / cast time / instant damage capabilities it is still a very very good skill compared to the other elemental branches outside of the release spell warlock arsenal.

Crimson Rock is better for leveling up to 150. After that it loses a lot of it's potential.

 

There are some gears implemented in kRO (that we don't know when they'll arrive here) that improve the skill, making it better in higher levels, but it's likely that you'll think about ditching Crimson Rock after getting your Elvira Cards.

I ever think like that. But i don't know SE in this server was OP as i expect. Because from my old server TRO SE is very useless. In other way max for SE and CR and 4 for drain life but got only 1 for radius. Radius normally should be max or lv 1?

Max radius if you plan on soloing.

SE is very strong when you have Intensification and Elvira Cards (+20% Ghost/Wind damage each card). You can top it with Lichtern Yellow Cards on hat and mid headgear to up to +15% damage with ghost spells. Intensification triples its damage when maxed, allowing even me, with my crapy gears, do deal 80 K damage to Dark Lord (~160 MDEF!) per hit with a spamable skill. I've seen videos of people dealing 560 K damage to Fenris Fenrir with this skill, but it was on kRO...

 

Worth to notice that Intensification is a buff that lasts for 1 minute and have a 5 minutes cooldown, so it's not something that you can keep turned on, so it's more of an MVPing skill, thus it's not worthy to max it at early levels. Also, the Mesmerist NPC gives you 2 free resets, so you can somewhat count on having one for later use.

 

Radius is up to preference. Level 1 is mandatory, some people max it later, others keep it at level 1. You'll have to sacrifice other skills (maybe Tetra Vortex, maybe Crimson Rock, maybe Drain Life) for it.

For leveling focus on aoe and crowd control skills, such as jackfrost, crimson rock, earth strain (maybe soul expansion, i personally get it last) getting drain life is useful for The quick hp recover but some people get it last or just ditch for other stuff. Also getting radius 3 is awesome because allow you to snipe and let you stay far from The action, considering your hp pool that is not a bad thing. Personally i like frost misty also because slow mob and add a lot of dmg to jf. Consider this, at early stages of The game you will be one shooting everything with cr, but later you dont xD so having skills to control larger mobs is more importante at later lvls.

I like frost misty because its got the largest range of any of the centered spells.

I think is jackfrost maxed, it has 19x19, butbi could be wrong

After the first balance patch that happened the range was locked at 15x15 at max level (because at the same time they reduced comet aoe size), the irowiki site still says otherwise but i am very certain its been a long time since the balance patch.
