Mages: Best Newtie party Attackers

thread starter Zayus Jun 08 2009 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

So I finaly got myself into a party for the first time at newts. I didn't know what roles the priest would fullfil in the party other than HS, so I had no idea the priests only job was to be an HS mule. It didn't take too long for me to figure out how he could contribute more than just being an HS mule, so I asked if he'd fight beside my on the top of the newts map because I was freezing everything and defending him, he was able to spam SR as I spammed Ice Strike. This basically added 3k damage everytime I did 7k, where as he would have been doing nothing but running around giving HS before. That's and extra 1,000 exp every time the priest casted SR. It might sound little, but after casting SR for an hour with a few breaks for HSing the whole party again, you're looking at an extra 3.5% for each individual party member ! if you really care to see the math behind that 3.5%, the quote has it all. MATH said: "68000/3800 = 0.005588 exp per damage done to the newt. 3,000 additional damage done to the newt = 0.005588*3000 = 167.65 more exp exp every attack. Attack hits 4 newts at once so 167.65*4 = 670.59 exp every time SR is casted. multiply that by HS *1.5 and you get an extra 1006 exp divided by x party members and then factor in party exp, however that works." I guess this works for fire mages too, as long as they have master Seal, but it's not as good because ice strike is a sealer and an attack at the same time.

a f/p would just go solo 3 chns of skeles with mist. And you probably could get more exp soloing red wyverns.

Red wyverns < Solo newties < Himes < newtie party 23% /hour < 25% per h < 28% per h < 32% per hour

most priest would prefer to partially afk and cast hs every 2 minutes

lazy priests will slow the party down

This only works if you have someone to freeze / seal, though... newties burn crazy pots =[

Solo RW's < Solo himes < Solo newties < ?Newt party? cant give %'s as of right now because i stoped himes when it was giving me 15%/h and newts were giving me 15%/h at drastically reduced pot cost. As for newt party... either your lucky or im unlucky, because every time i try to join a newt party they just tell me im too low (lvl 118 now) -_-

remember I'm using an elemental wand on my char the 25% damage changes the % per hour entirely
