Hey there. A week or so ago, I made a thread asking when an Evan's DragonThrust would be used through training. Now I'm curious, when will Slow really be used? Unlike a normal mage's slow, it doesnt have a 100% chance to slow, and the skill itself is a "buff", which is activated based on a certain percentage when you attack a monster. I find that it'd be useful at places like Red and Blue Kents, since they have a high movement speed, but I don't see it being all that useful at places like Skeles, ToT or Gallops. Any Evans experienced with Slow, I'd like your opinions and experiences.

I meant this to be for people that are actually in 6th growth onwards, who have slow.

tbh o.o i never use slow as it actually makes training worse for me as the mobs get slow its hard to lure them xD and i 2hko almost everything so it doesnt help me much if they're slowed, but thats just me though

By force of habit, I always put it on. When hanging on the rope, I spam all my buffs all at once. Slow really doesn't have much of an effect on my training, but making things like gallos move a bit slower can be pretty helpful.

i think slow is pointless because u can just freeze monsters so they cant move at all

I use it as a timer to tell me when to pick up drops when I'm killing galloperas (if I recall correctly drops disappear after 3min, slow is 2.5min and this is coincidently when EQ stops murdering galloperas anyway), but thats about it.

Like, if you're going to 1-2HKO (even 3HKO) somtthing, will slowing it even matter? I mean, slow doesnt even take effect until you hit it the first time, and then some monsters may be slowed whilst others continue to move at their regular speeds. :S [quote] ciaspy123 : By force of habit, I always put it on.

[/quote] At Gallos, really? I always thought that just by spamming earthquake in the center, you wouldnt need slow.

Very uncommon, but not unheard of, and the slow + DT being your main attack really helps to keep them at bay (seeing as they're a fast monster). AdroxNight That's actually a nifty little tip. :D

Unless there's something I'm missing...

yea slow is pointless since you can freeze or stun the enemy and when your higher lvl you would have insane ranged skill so no point

In my experience, slow helps if u can't kill the mobs fast enough. Once ur killing them left and right, it's useless

[quote] Maxfire : In my experience, slow helps if u can't kill the mobs fast enough. Once ur killing them left and right, it's useless [/quote] I think this would be an easy "rule" to follow. At ToT it'd be half-useless anyway, since the monsters have massive attack range.

meh when you're in the level range that is most "viable" for slow, you have ice/fire breath freeze/stun. after that, earthquake at gallos, you hit most of the gallos within their attack range so slow is useless there. and when you can 2 hit gallos, no point of slow. same goes for skele, you shouldn't be going to skele until you can 2 hit anyway since gallos is much better exp. therefore, you dont need slow for skele either but like someone above, slow is in my macro anyway so i use it, its just not useful
