hi all, i've been looking around the forums for the damage range of different classes because i was curious to whether my attack range sucked. unfortunately, i've only found one thread that gave me that reference, and it didn't give me a conclusive answer. every time i'm bossing, i feel as if my hits aren't significant (and thus not reaping my potential exp per boss run) and feel inferior to my party members. so my question is... am I considered average/below average? any feedback, comments or advice would be appreciated. GEAR: 16/15/15/16 Zhelm 6 dex maple leaf 29 str overall 8 att PGC 7 att FS 123 att nisrock 13 att SCG krex ring 3/1/2/2 silver deputy 10 dex earring PS: this is my very first character, so i was not completely funded (i still am not to this day). i've also yet to find a worthy zhelm to scroll and a decent krex ring.
In my view, the equipment that can use an urgent upgrade is your bow. Try to scroll or buy an end-game bow with 130 att or more. You'll see your damage improve significantly. I don't see the need to improve any other pieces of equipment on your BM so far.
Your zhelm is really weak, even if you can't find a good one you can just scroll this one with 100% for now (they are like less than 1m each) since you'll probably stay with it for a while cause it's hard to finish zak with the dcs. Also try to buy/scroll an overall with both str and dex (like the lvl 100 ones). They are very cheap as well (maybe 100m for a good one with like 37+ str+dex? I'm not sure about the prices now) Rings are also free to upgrade but kinda hard to get since most are event rings and the krex one takes a lot of reloots. After that you can get a stronger bow (but it will be much more expensive to upgrade than the overall/helm)
Doesn't look like you have maxed bow expert. If you haven't, you should, its really good. Other than that, scrolling your zhelm and maple leaf with 60% scrolls and resetting your base int as well as getting MW should help out quite a bit.
in the earlier levels i needed to up my base INT to wash, case my HP was severely lacking. i'll do that eventually, though. thanks you for the advice
i know everything is relative - i just wanted to see, on average whether, for my level, i'm performing decently or not
