no. holy stick+punishment is only good when demon/shadow & undead.
it wouldnt be enough for you to take down big bell like this.

likely. 2 wave of ME to kill.
that's problematic , since youre likely to get mobbed and die when you're greedy.
 

prilgrim shoe is a good choice here.
i would have wore prilgirm if i had access to neopunk

im not doing luring so much big bell i just hit and run and cast kyrie (fast casting thats why) but i go for alpha's leveling i stay at scaraba until i hit level 161 since i can 1 hit them...

ME has 5 waves of damage

you don't need to 1shot on the first one (specially with the skill now having a 6s cooldown)

Edited by UpgradeAlpha, 03 May 2020 - 05:02 AM.

can you still 1-wave big bells with that set-up if you don't use oda and donut?

at 150 no.

as you level, you can skip oda

the whole idea of going 1wave ME kill is so that you stay alive.
i died a couple of time cause i ran out of Basilica

*at level 158 you can skip on oda
*at level 164 you can skip on donut

Thing is NCT might get too crowded with the new skill update and the 1 shot with the 1st ME wave might be a must though less getting KS by other class players.

You can pneuma in the ME to avoid getting KS'd by ranged characters, which is what most of the KSing is done by. 

I was able to almost achieve ME 1 wave kill not using icefall by swapping out shrine maiden with happy flappy.

Somehow Happy Flapping Angel Wings was giving me more ME damage than shrine maiden...

I don't have Neo Punk card or white threaded armor on hand, so the only mdef bypass I had was the survivor shoe+wand combo. So if i had the card or replace armor with white threaded, OHKO should be achievable.

 i used those buffs except the suffra dont have enough skills points

i'm not sure what suffragium does here since ME is already instacast with shrine maiden hat.

youre right suffragium isnt necessary here.

as ash pointed out before. it makes very little difference even if youre using happy flapping

 

testing with ME on NCT @ 150/50. finally found the cheapest option i can afford.

stats: 70 vit, 120 int/dex

gears: +9happy flapping angel wings, mob scarf set, +9white armor (entweihen), +12 crimson rod (big ben, cobalt mineral), +4 VS (neo punk), +7 pilgrim shoes, +9 faw max spell (antique book), 2pcs valk drop (scaraba)

shadow: +7 magical set (missing refines), matk+1% (upper/mid)

buffs: agi, bless, sacra, KE, power of odin 2

this setup gives me consistent dmg of around 180k on big bells, one-shotting them without much buffs/consumables.

^ nice
what about Basilica? excluded?

entwei is cheap in thor, but it's luxuary in chaos.
anyone there that has entwei shouldnt have any problem having icefall


if i had  +12 crimson rod (big ben, cobalt mineral), +4 VS (neo punk),
i would have enjoyed the benefit of prilgrim shoes

yeah, basilica was replaced by cobalt mineral card and shadow gears pretty much. you dont need it with my setup. if you are lacking matk%, try adding am mut pet or leaf lunatic. i dont have a pet when testing.

without the cobalt mineral card, i had to replace pilgrim with a +4 temporal int spell to one-shot without basilica.

i tried basilica and the lack of timer/indicator is annoying, so i tried to find a way to remove it. i might even reset skills again to remove basilica.

aha, icefall is just too expensive right now. i can't even afford abyss which i need, so icefall is just for luxury now. i think in thor pricing, my whole setup is cheaper than a single icefall dress of 3 or 4b.
 

Hello Guys,

 

   Could you please share your skill tree since 1st class to 3rd class ? I am still building my ME/AD AB. I can't post image that I tried to build on this thread. Very appreciated ! 

Hello,

As I don't normally play an AB as a damaging class if at all (or even know how to build damaging classes well, gearwise and skillwise i could never do as well as any other player), but the skill build in this link is usually the most accepted way you would spread your skills when building an ME AB at least (plenty of skill points left in 3rd and 2nd and even 1st so its usually a go as you want to buffet at that point).

http://irowiki.org/~...BabkbdsrEnS1In1

good guide! 

Thank you : ) 

 

I got like links below. Mainly ME / Sometimes AD

 

Op1 http://irowiki.org/~...BsOkfdsrChf1In1

 

Op2 http://irowiki.org/~...BsOkfdsrChf1In1

 

KE 10 or only 4 that makes me crazy ! 

 

Thanks

Well this is a choice, its basically saying do you want to kite effectively during ME when you are by yourself  or are you a servicable AB for MvP'ing and general partying with other players with a wide plethora of skills to use with less rebuff timers.

I am posting my current gears (nromal and shadow) and stats Please any suggestions on changes would be highly appricauted. I went with these due to market availabity. I can post my job skill tree if you would like.

Garment has Rockridge Arclouse Card

Sunnies has Weakened Fenrir Card.

Thanks so much

~April

if youre lacking damage to 1 hit ,

BigBen & Neopunk Card might just be the answer to your problem

& you wont need luk or even vit for NCT leveling if you can 1 hit them
