It's like talking to Ron Kovacs

So the posts have been a bit slow and I decided to fill the gaps with what I'm doing right now.

I can't walk through Bubblings without getting invited to a group...6 people increases the drop rate.

why can't people in GMS clue into that fact? Argh!

Interesting build by the day. The video of the guy who killed the balrog with nothing but power guard was very... long.

[smacksaw]

Yeah, though it was pre-Ludi

I hardly ever see megaphones looking for group members unless it's for really high leveled maps. Most people in GMS seem to use megaphones to insult each other, shout out to their friends, promote their FM store, share song lyrics, or bitch about the game.

Also, I can imagine in GMS, if one person killed something that dropped a desirable item, unless your party members are your friends or they are super polite, they would probably jump in, steal the item, quit the party and run away before mass defaming you, setting a summoned balrog on you, and hacking all your characters. x_x

ROFL!!!

Well, with a farming party, whoever gets the damage has first crack at the item. I don't know what the delays are in GMS, but in JMS you have like 60-120 seconds to get your loot before anyone else can, and it disappears about 3 seconds after it opens up.

I guess it's different with Zakum since...seriously, who did the most damage? Probably a free-for-all.

But these farming parties are totally safe...people take their sector and stick to it.

its been done many many times

a lot of people that do it go pure hp build and kill stuff waaaaaaay out of their level range, but +mdef wouldnt matter because you should usually be blinking and you have a ton of hp anyway

[viper_rebel]

sorry i know you mentioned the guy who fought balrog, but i meant to add that it had been improved a lot since then and they do all the high level ludi stuff, and that youll very much likely die if you dont have swarms of hp

[smacksaw]

Yeah, not pure HP...I want to be able to actually hit stuff on my own.

The main idea is a "don't be in front of the mob for a mob attack" but a "be in the mob for a mob attack"...

[viper_rebel]

so... you are making a fighter

lol, thats just what they do, spearman sit in front, fighters are usually all up in their with their PG

[smacksaw]

Yeah, by then it should be so obsolete that it would take damage.

Overall DEF does add MD...^^

I'm thinking more about the capes than anything...the Capes are money. The problem is that if you don't have enough of ANY kind of DEF, WD or MD, having a good cape with MDEF won't matter if you have level 30 earrings or whatever.

But you can start to get a bit of a break if you finally get enough to do something.

Also, I should mention this: One of the angles is that my Maple Sprout Hat has like 50 MDEF at level 30 (same as a Zakum type III hat) and gets 60 MDEF if I somehow made it to 70.

Fighter FTW

However, you lost me at sword... xP

[smacksaw]

Well, the long story short is that I want to take all of the best aspects and ideas about it, put it all together and then see what it does because most Fighters/Crusaders don't really play to their strengths, but sorta do it all and end up doing nothing REALLY well.
