Alright I have a few questions. 1. What build should I do? I've seen many different variations, and I'm wondering what works best? I currently have 1 hurricane, 1 phoenix, 1 dragon breath, 30 SE. I want something that works best at bosses. 2. Pap question. I went today and I was having quite a bit of trouble. In some videos I've seen people use puppet and never get hit at all, but I got hit everytime. 3. Another pap question. I have 3957 HP, and I didn't die from any bombs, but since the damage is varying, will it ever be high enough to 1hko me? Thanks for your help

I dont know about question #1 or 2, but I know that pap bombs vary greatly. Ive seen 3.5k and highest maybe 4k?

#1. I happen to boss with some guildies & buddy, & I would say one of the good build is the core build that was in the guides which is : max SE, max Hurr, max BE. I also have 1 DB & 1 Phoenix .. will leave it at there till I max the first 3 "core-built". After those 3, I'll work on MW & Concentrate. #2. I think you need to be able to hit 10k for pap kb. So with ur build right now, since no BE yet, it'll be a bit challenging & expensive (apples all the way?). My BM buddy that solo pap said that he did max out on the se-hurr-be combo, & he doesn't have to use apple to kb, just warr elixir/cider. I personally ever tried to once solo pap, & I be able to kill 1st body using apples (max se that time, lvl 16 hurr, lvl 6 be), but for 2nd body I got impatient >.< The ideal idea is to hit 2nd body (hit it good), then puppet... then hit again, so puppet will be the main key. #3. I will say that 3957 still bit risky to pap. Right now my hp is 4110, & I've been pap with my bm buddy (no dk, no hb), & we always success kill it & survive bomb. So I would say that 4k will be safer hp number for ur pap w/out hb.

for ur first question get ur hurri to 11 then ur expert to 12. for ur second question ur minimum damage with crits must be 10k to constantly kb pap. you should also toss puppet to the corner if you havent been doing that. i never had a bomb hit over 3.9k on me unless it was buffed and in that case they will always kill you. i cant think of anything else to say

One more question, do BMs ever train at skeles, and what about CGs?

Yes and yes. ^ Also, for pure DPS, Hurricane First = SE first = Hurricane/BowExpertise mix > Bow Expertise First. SE's best for your party, Hurricane's cheaper, Hurricane/Bow Expertise is cheapest. Since you're already with max SE, max Hurricane and Bow Expertise simultaneously. The stopping points for each are 6, 11, 15, 21, and 27 for Bow Expertise, 11 and 21 for Hurricane. Raise both simultaneously as best you see fit.

I see so I'll get like 1 bow expert for now and get 11 hurricane and raise both I guess?

Kevvl said: " Nope." was that an agreement or disagreement? either way I don't recommend putting only 1 point in mastery a lvl.
