115=Bow. 14= WG. 10= MoN. Skill option A: Max hurricane, 1 Bow Expertise, 1 Dragon's Breath, max SE Damage range: 115/14/10 set-up, level 140, 680 dex 105 str: 2,025~3,359 . Min damage: 2,025. Max damage: 3,359*3.4= 11,420. Average hit: 6,722. DPM: 6,722*500= 3,361,000. Note: 3.4 = 200% damage from Crit, +40% from SE, +100% from Hurricane. Skill option B: Max SE, max Bow Expertise, 1 Dragon's Breath, 1 Hurricane . Damage range: 115/14/10 set-up, level 140, 680 dex, 105 str: 2946~3601 +10 attack from Expertise is taken into consideration. Min damage: 2946*0.51= 1,502. Max damage: 3601*2.91= 10,478. Average hit: 5990. DPM: 5990*500= 2,995,000. For best training and bossing, build A would be better, right? This is more of a double check then a question... But meh. Also, those are the damage ranges without any attack potions. With attack potions, the difference would just get bigger with Build A winning in DPM, right? Based on these, it would be best for me to do max SE (currently 12) -> max Hurricane -> max Bow Expertise?

@LeMonkey: Gonna read now. @Xingothica: Why 21 Hurricane and 11 BE?

Max SE if you want to, your question wasnt about that I think. After that: 21 Hurricane -> 21 or 27 BE -> max Hurricane -> finish BE. I just realized you made some mistakes when calculating the DPM, gimme a minute to fix it. Correct DPM with max Hurricane: 3,122,720 Correct DPM with max BE: 2,995,253

what does concentrate actually do at max level? i know that it reduces mp usage but some ppl say it gives 13 atk but hidden street says that it gives 26 atk...

i think a mix of hurricane and be is better for dmp

gandalf0213 : @LeMonkey: Gonna read now. @Xingothica: Why 21 Hurricane and 11 BE? Because In my opinion Maxing 1 skill at a time for BM will just give you semi good damage ranges, But if you max alittle here and alittler there in segments you get boost from all the skills. I'm not saying put 1 point in se 1 point hurricane 1 point in BE every level. Just max them at a ratio For example you have Max SE then Hurricane, sure your damage is good but you will have this big gap in your damage range since you dont have Mastery

Basil's info on concentrate is behind the times. It gives 26 att + 50% MP usage on skills.

holyflare101 09/09/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

isnt it a good skill if it just gives 26 atk for free? and lowers mp cost of hurricane?

RandomOverlord 09/09/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Yeah, but it's got a 6 min delay, and it's really not needed until lv 160'ish.

holyflare101 : isnt it a good skill if it just gives 26 atk for free? and lowers mp cost of hurricane? Cooldown makes it garbage. If it had no cooldown, it'd be worth adding into before 15x. Maybe.
