Why train on bigger monsters that take more hits to kill?

I'm LV70 dexless hermit, and my damage range is 4200-7200. My mode damage (damage seen most often, which I use to decide what to train on) is 4500. EDIT: THIS IS NOT THE ATT RANGE IN STAT WINDOW. OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE SAID NUMBER1~NUMBER2. GET A CLUE! TY. People say train on stronger monsters: Voodoo's for example, have 6800hp and 335 exp. That's 2 hits a kill. Why should I go there, when I can kill Coolie Zombies for example in one hit, which have 4500hp and 190 exp? In 2 hit's I get 380 exp, surpassing my rate had I trained on Voodoos. What's the deal with this? And where should I train? Getting 0.01% a kill right now at killing coolie zombies, not fun at all either way.

Well, supposing they spawn at the same rate... Then voodoos/hoodoos would be slightly better, because they spawn rapidly in a small space. Edit: and besides, you should be training at windraiders.

Your damage range is 4200-7200? I hope you know you're surpassing a super godly funded level 18xx night lords damage at level 70...

HP to EXP ratio is better, that is why. You should be 1hko'ing voodoos/hoodoos and getting more exp with that damage range anyway. Go to WRs.

Aya, he's referring to the damage he's dealing, not the damage range in stat window. The reason that bigger monsters are generally better to kill is because you need to move less. The longer you spend on one monster, the less you move. The less you move, the more you kill.

if your att range is 4200-7200, then you are the strongest theif in all of maple

I'm still laughing at 4200-7200 at lvl 70. On a serious note, Windraiders is going to be good exp for you.

Blender said: "Your damage range is 4200-7200? I hope you know you're surpassing a super godly funded level 18xx night lords damage at level 70..." i saw your post yet i dont see a avatar of you...not even a grey blob...is it just me? OT:I think he means his damage range as when he hits using lucky seven not his actual wep attack damage range(on skills info)
