thread starter Holytoiiet Sep 11 2010 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

I've seen some misleading vids on youtube where I seen this f/p do like 500-700k damage using paralyze on a boss in TOT. And some doing significantly less like 80-100k per hit. So im just wondering if they will be invited to HT runs etc. I love the class and all but I want to start bossing 160+ or else it'll get boring

Bossing is all about connections. If you know people who lead boss runs they might take you. People aren't gonna take random people to boss runs.

Every class will be a good enough attacker.

DoT will be MUCH more dependant on equips than on class/level. So runners would most likely take any character with awesome equips rather than a specific class (except maybe for some skills like HB).

You know... No one really gives a damn what class you are. My friends just worry about getting 3-4 NL's and then they just invite anyone from the guild/BL that wants to come (talking about Zak). Also, believe me when I tell you that actually the funnest part of the whole bossing part is laughing at the ones that die (And SSing and posting on SW graveyard) and the time where you stand in entrance to altar talking. The actual bossing part is like... Same as training. Bottom line: Get into a nice friendly guild and they'll take you in regardless of your damage.

[/quote] I very much agree that connections are hugely important, but Zak is also an easy boss where you don't need to dedicate slots for good attackers.

No1 has answered her question Yes F/P's will actually be useful, more so than most classes. Although all will do farely well wen it comes to bossing.
