I thought it would be easier to raid on my rogue, but I'm finding my mage had more success. I am put on bad teams more often with my rogue. I honestly have failed more than I've succeeded in raids as a rogue. No one uses scrolls. So annoying. Wish you could block users.

Is your rogue geared up? If yes, it's probably just bad luck. Rogue is definitely better for raids. I actually think mage might the worst when doing the Phoenix raid. And I've probably been lucky, but most people seem to be willing to use scrolls from what I've experience. I can count the number of times I've failed on one hand.

GB is probably my favorite mode. I like GB best because it's the only challenging thing in the game and it's fun to see what combos work well. Everything else is just about farming. We usually fight only level 60s with max/ultimate characters, so it's usually a pretty good fight. There's never been any waiting (the bar rarely fills up while waiting), but that could depend on when you play and your bracket.

The thing I hate the most about GB is that you usually end up fighting the same people over and over and over again, which is great if you're on the winning side, but awful when you're losing. I feel like it shouldn't cost tickets, then you could actually see some people experimenting and playing around. Maybe make it a 10/day limit on how many you can fight towards guild points, and limit it so you don't fight the same group more than once in a row. Then I'd be all about it.

I wish they did this, too. It's so tiring having to stay up that late just for an A.

No its an A on weekdays, and A-S on weekends

? That's what's written.

Yeah, my rogue has good gear, probably better than my mage at this point. Probably just RNG on my part, as the last 30 or so tickets have been good. Still, no SSS gear yet. Working my way through my 100 ticket reward from twitch.

He said 1 A a day. But the weekend one is not an A, it's an A-S. I know, I know. But believe it or not I've gotten a good number of S's from the weekend A-S.

Finally hit 30. Woo! I took a pretty long break but got back into it recently. Used a ton of rubies that I had saved up on the limited time level 30 outfit. Still have about 400 left over.
 
Okay, blew through 130 total tickets in raid. 0 SSS. I've angered the RNG gods.

Zeus looked down and saw that you received a Loki, and hurled a barrage of lightning bolts at Deathcrown, god of the RNG, for not giving you a Dark Gnarl. Brightspark, goddess of the raid, stepped in to quell Zeus's anger by promising to give you nothing but blues and purples for your next 500 tickets. Zeus was satisfied, and all was well.

One little quality of life change I'd love to see is the ability to set an auto sell limit e.g. anything of blue or lower rarity is set to be sold automatically. Cant have inventory cleaning getting in the way of that essence grind ;)

Lol. I love this thread.

I guess I'm going to cash in my rubies for premium summons and try to max out the SS units I have to merge into more SSS units.

I currently have 3 SSS units that might need to be maxed (Tyran+5, Patta, Pitch) but it just doesn't seem reasonable to try to max them if they aren't getting much work in the first place.

I think they are just following the path of the Korean version no matter what. They won't admit to the changes because it might stop people from spending. But I'm absolutely sure that we'll get it the same time they did.

Overall all these guys do is translate the game. That's really all they've been doing from what I have seen. They don't make any changes to the formula.

BTW. I just got the bow from the Phoenix raid. What stats do you guys look for in a weapon? It has CRIT/CRIT DMG/Accuracy/Def Pen. I was hoping it would be nice for Bloodwind when I get one.

Crit%/Crit Dmg is the holy grail. I'd probably prefer DEX or Weapon ATK over Def Pen because Bloodwind already has a massive DEF down buff, but anyway you can't go wrong, that's still a super good roll

Uhh, how is that terrible? 1 SS alone makes ip for everything

True. From a fodder standpoint its probably worth 3-4 As at least. Used the 6 freebies and they were all A as well. A higher concentration of S units would have been better from a fodder standpoint though. Made one SSS and it was flame wizard whey. Really need a healer though.

Whey is the one that can eventually turn into a summoner right? Guess it's not all bad.

Going to be awhile before I can make another SSS.

Finally made Blackaria, and she's killing it. Even at +0, she's a hell of a lot better than a Konfi.

Here's a weird question: during Blackaria's "Heaven's Requiem" (makes the rest of your party invulnerable for 8 seconds on death), is she considered still alive for the duration of her animation? I ask because she's saved our asses a few times with that ability allowing us to kill a boss, and I wonder if she still gets XP if the boss dies before she goes down "for real".

It's not a situation that will really matter for long - just curious.

Just to be certain, can you check your passive abilities, accessories, and skills and make sure any crit rate from those is accounted for?

Edit: Can you also double check that 45.8 and 48.5 yield the exact same crit %? I expect this is a typo, just want to be sure though
 
Already have.

Ok cool. So why is 0 crit rate 4.7%? On my hero as well as all allies, 0 crit rate is 4.6%

Also in case yo missed the edit, Can you also double check that 45.8 and 48.5 yield the exact same crit %? I expect this is a typo, just want to be sure though

Im not sure about the xp thing but as far as rez scrolls or Shabelle group rez she's still considered alive. If you use a rez scroll during it she will NOT be revived. Have to use it after for her to receive the effect.

Not sure. I took off everything; equips, accessories, costumes, titles and no passives add Crit rate for mage.

Ah fuck. Forgot about allies. They add 5+4 Crit rate to me. Damn, I don't want to do the hole thing again.

Edit: Wait, just took them out and I still have 4.7 Crit rate with nothing on. Maybe it's the mage's base crit rate? I'm lv 57, if that matters.

Hmm.. That's strange, because I had Bloodwind in my party, adn even though he has a passive that affects whole party, my hero was still at 4.6% + 0. But I had another ally that had a self-crit buff, and for him with no gear he showed up with a non-zero plus. So I assumed that whole party buffs wouldn't display on your stat card, but self buffs would.

Hrmm.. I have a bare-bones mage, level 20. Haven't used a single skill point on her. I remove all the allies from my party so it's just her. Completely naked with no gear. And she has 5.0% + 0%

Which character model is your mage? Mine is this one:

And here's her stat card:

Can you post your stat card of your naked character with no allies in party?

Same one. 5% crit rate at lv20? That's weird. Maybe it's randomized at character creation?

Edit: Do you think that maybe raising certain stats with passives could lower other stats?

Edit 2: Just checked some friend allies. Mages without any points in passives have 5%, and mages with points in passives have 4.6-4.7%. Might be worth looking into.

Side note, why do I have allies with no points in passives? lol

I doubt it. I think randomized at character creation is more likely. I've never seen anything in the game EVER touch the number before the plus sign. That number is like etched in blood as far as I can tell. Any modifications to the stat are always displayed after the plus sign. I mean anything's possible, but randomized at character creation time seems the most likely.

I was thinking about making a priest anyway because magnify priest seems to be the key to the top 10 against Hydra, so maybe I'll delete this mage and create a few new characters to try.

Should I assume that you added the two numbers together in every instance? Like your 5.3 crit rate number you said was 9.7%, was it actually 4.7% + 5.0%? If so, would it be possible to do the list again without the 4.7% added? I mean I can just subtract 4.7% from all your numbers myself, but there are still some strange inconsistencies. For example, the data you recorded has 34.4 crit rate = 27.5% (ignoring the 4.7% added in). But mine has 34.9 crit rate at 27.1%. More crit rate and less %. So there's something we're missing. Either one of us has a typo (I will double check mine too) or there's another piece of the puzzle.

Edit: Just spent 20 skill points including a bunch of passives and I still have 5% base.
