Hello everyone I'm a pretty average player, got a lv.90~ F\P mage and realized that im destined to LEECH my entire lifetime. Which is less to my liking (although i rly love f\p). Im looking for a new class that'll suit me. In OGMS I used to play a NL, but today playing NL is a huge headache due to washing, ridicilous endgame gear etc. Whats the amount of funding needed in order to maintain a well hp washed, well built NL? Also, I've though of maybe a Hero? although I heard its not as good as it was Or maybe Paladin ? Thanks for ur help <3
I think you’ll need north of 15b to fully fund a NL. The most difficult things require time as well I suppose.
You can just make a NL and grind as normal. By doing hp quests + gears you can get a good amount of hp without any wash (11k ez at 17x). As for atk gears, I wouldn't worry too much because it's a slow process for everybody and basically every classes. At the end of the day I strongly suggest you to play a class that you like without thinking too much about gears/washing. There's many 200s who didn't wash at all :3
If you're looking for a new class to play, I recommend Shad. People say it's expensive, but it's actually really cheap to get your foot in the door (for example, a 30 attack khanjar is about 300m). You'll feel a great sense of progression in terms of untradeable items and all stats items, since you will need to optimize these to be able to go strless/dexless and improve your character. Bossing is really nice once you get into the 155 ish level range where you get enough SP for your skillset (159 for smoke, which is a 1.5 min invincibility skill for you and your party). Meso Guard doubles your hp, giving you easier access to bossing content. Farming is pretty nice too, given Boomerang Step (4 targets, high damage %) and Band of Thieves (6 target, low damage %). Meso explosion is something you can use to shoot through some early levels. This is all from my personal experience, and disclaimer: Shadower is by far my favorite class. By the way, I've never gone out of my way to wash. I've only ever washed out extra MP I had. From that and HP Quest I'm Level 200 with 12k HP (along with HP equips.) If you insist on warrior, I would go for Paladin (I have one now) but honestly follow your heart here. Read the guides in the guide section to get a sense of the playstyles. Otherwise, you can try playing NL and gain HP through gears and HP quest, however I would be a liar to say it won't be difficult in the end game (Auf, Toad for example.)
If you end up playing NL/BM please remember to have sufficient int/int gears. Hp washing is not optional for end game content. Im a lvl 200 BM who did not add any int or wear int gears. Heres a breakdown of what I had to do 1)Wash whatever excess mp I had from lv1-200 (approx 100APRS) 2) get all the hp gears which gives around 3k hp+, including having to use 3 pets and scroll their eq WELL with hp(takes hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay) 3) Do hp quest and gain approx 1-1.5khp 4) Legendary Collector Medal (painful) And I only have 12.3k hp atm. This is with equips like christmas nx ring and gold leaf pendant which adds 250hp each. So when they expire I will only have 11.8k or so. Hp washing is not optional unless you want to burden your party by bringing hb mules. Tldr, if you dont spend hundreds or maybe a thousand hours + on this game to get those gears, even with just bare excess mp washing, you would only get 8k hp or so as a lvl200. (Not too sure exact number, 8-9k approx but most likely borderline 8k) Horntail hits 8.6k to me when im attacking the legs and tails which is usually where NL/BMs attack when HT is summoned at the start. So you might wanna make sure you have enough hp if you wanna go as an attacker.
I recommend you to try paladin. I got one when came back to royals last year after couple years and didnt want to wash, i got lvl 200 and have 16k hp without black belt or legendary collector or hp quest. Warriors are very cheap and also paladin got elemental weakness attacks which makes him really strong good luck!
And after got pally to 200 working on my shadower as well shad are fun,strong,no must to hp wash because of MG (meso guard) which blocks 50% incoming hits and plus many avoidabillity because luk base stats and shadower shifter dodge good luck!
