    can do, i have a whole section about this boss for a reason.
    it's not needed in the boss, since it doesn't provide any party buffs or exceptional damage, but it's a melee so it will still do somewhat well.
    you do not need to manual pot to zerk it as well, so it's not really much different than a hero
    as for the current meta - you don't need anything except bucc/shad, but other jobs who are inferior will be accepted to most runs.

    Hello again!
    Updated the guide back with new videos:
    - New Anego video with actual game sounds so you can hear the slaps
    - New BGA video which is deathless unlike the previous one I had
    - VL video that @chenming recorded recently with the new potting method. Thank you so much!
    Since Ming plays on high ping, this comes to show that this method is relevant for everyone regardless of ping.

    I still have to remake a VL video without manual potting at all, but that can wait for a bit :D
    Sorry for the short downtime on the videos!

    Hello
    I found a little mistake in skill building in 4th job.
    In level 164-168, we can get 15 skill point, but the skill building only use 12 skill points for MW10 and +2Rush.

    Random Question, So the item Smore can heal 25% HP/MP. I'm curious if there's any bosses where this would be a more ideal pot.
    at 30k this would be a 7.5k heal.

    i guess it could be useful, atleast in my opinion, depends on what you fighting and what amount of hp u want to maintain.
    i personally hate unagi's but love cheese/reindeer milk, also basically everything is useful if u use it right (again my opinion) so id say give it a try and report back we'd love to know


    (also donnie's a pro {just wanted to say that})

    From what I can think about its mainly useful for things that require 5-6k hp, which would mainly be LHC.
    But you can buy those which makes them kinda useless

    Job, HP gained, MP lost, Min MP, Min HP
    Warrior, +50~54HP, -4MP, (4 x level) +156, (24 x level) +172

    First, figure out you current MP (without equips). You can also just use an APR, it will read your HP and MP without equips.

    Then you calculate your Minimum MP.

    For Warriors 4*Level+156
    In your case, 4*139+156=712

    Lets assume you have about 216mp from equips.
    That leaves you with 1000 mp.

    This would mean you have 1000-712=288 Extra MP

    Warriors lose 4 MP per APR.
    So you can use up to 288/4=72 APR

    Once you level up, put 1 Level Up AP into HP to start the HP-Wash process.
    Use 71 APR,
    -mp, +hp

    After using 71 APR use 1 more APR
    -mp, +STR

    You would gain [50,54]*72=[3600,3888] HP
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    May you mess up and either incorrectly calculate your Minimum MP or accidentally use more APR. (wich would lead to you not being able to reset that 1 AP used to start the HP-Wash process back into STR)
    Just level up one more time. Zhelm, HTP/MoN and other random All-Stat gear will grant you more than enough Extra MP per level up to 1 or more APR

    The ones that deal the highest damage (lightning and bleed claw) are physical, yes

    The vulture (irrelevant since it's 1/1) and B3 ground pound are magic (can be reflected by Mana Reflection).

    I'm now at the point where every skill but "Aura of the beholder" is maxed, and i can choose to leave it at 0, or max it. It seems that it doesn't heal you past 50%, which makes the skill sound very nice on paper (max level: 500 hp every 4 sec).
    I'm however still not sure if the general consensus is to level it or nah? Would the timing of it triggering be disadvantageous in some manual potting scenarios?
    Interested in what the pro drks out there thinks!

    this is my skillbook tree (with MM on 30 and berserk on 30).

    you can probably aim to finish all of the beholder's quests to finish the skills up, nothing wrong with keep aura on 5, just max hex of the beholder ig
