thank you! @Lahv may I know did you went for BW or sword? Which will you recommend in your experience
This is my 2nd day on and I wanted to do a Paladin. I hit lv.20 and thought maybe it's not for me. But I looked over this guide and now I'm more than sure I chose right. I just need to reset myself. Once I figure that out I'm going to be following this! Plus I thought I wanted a sword but I want to stick out so mace here we go. Thank you!
So I just started mapling this week and I’m really interested into making a Paladin to boss in the future. I’ve read multiple guides and some of them were from few years ago, so I’m still wondering is Paladin good in boss runs, I’ve heard they’re range in attacks are a bit short, do they still have that problem? If they do, is there any tips for bossing as a Paladin? Haha I got so many questions and some might even sound stupid, but I’m really passionate in making this Paladin of mine, also got some nice int gears for washing and a 29twa shield from a friend of mine (so I’m definitely looking forward to end game Crushed Skull!). ’m certainly not going to give up on making this character, but just got tons of questions in my brain now should I keep questioning or just go make a DK -.-
Lol I also just came back after getting to 110 with a white knight 10+ years ago. Could you elaborate on dex a little more? what exactly are the long term pros and cons of your dex level?
They struggle with some bosses and excel in others, for example zak arms are a bit of a mess, but zak body is cake. Theyre really good at Crow and Krex as well because of elements (lightning and fire respectively). It's pretty easy to go dexless/low dex because of zak helm and maple weapons. I would err on the side of more dex if youre worried because you can always reset it later. If you go sword and plan to use a stonetooth thats a different issue entirely tho. EXP is meh till you max ACB because you can't mob as well, but ToT is full of elemental weaknesses. I like the blue stages because they have good scroll drops so you make some money. That said, till you max ACB youre sort of in limbo regardless of area.
Thanks. I was really confused for awhile there because I couldn't hit anything and didn't fully understand you need funded equips to make up for the missing dex. I got my dex up to 50 and I guess I'll let it sit there until later on i get better equipped. How does that sound?
anyone know a good strategy to zak's arms? should I ac on platforms? single target elemental weak? which elements to use? etc? anything. no clue. lol
I'd credit the person in the guild discord who posted this, but... I can't lul So you can thank 3 sheeps.
nice pic, might make it my ss <3 So I'm guessing Blast each arm? I'm also wondering if the difference matters that much. Arms don't take long anyways
Yeah, you can hit multiple with ACB if you do it right but none of the arms are weak to the same thing (near each other), so your damage is more concentrated on individual arms with blast.
You can ACB the bottom right 3 arms fairly consistently (hits all three ~90% of the time using a 2-H reach weapon) if you stand on the bottom right platform, so that's 2 fire weak arms you'll be damaging. If you stand on the extreme edge of that platform, you can even meme hammer all 8 arms between your attacks.
There ya go- I can never tell which arms i'm even hitting with a bunch of other people there (So when I zak I just use blast). I didn't think it hit that high- I know with the platforms you are able to hit all arms at least 1 at a time, which means if you feel up for it you can solo zak.
The person should have given credit where credit's due. This picture was made in mid-February 2019 by Failadin, forum user @Spaghetti.
Cool- I can't verify that however as there is no record of them posting it on the forums. The person in discord never claimed it as their own, they just posted it after Shane posted a list of the arm and body weaknesses. The joke was I can't tag emojis- chances are they don't even know who made it, I have however asked and am awaiting a response. Whoever made it, thank you it's very helpful.
@Memester thanks I use 1h sword though @patnais77 what are you the damn credit police? is this copy write infringement? Are you taking Evan to Jail? WEEWOOWEEWOO NERD ALERT. @Evan screw that one if they're gonna be narcs about it use mine instead :
@PabloJose I think your comment to @patnais77 is disrespecting.. try not taking out your frustrations of your drawing skills on others @Evan thank you for sharing that useful picture here, and thank you to whoever made it!
My mspaint skills are top of the line and have gotten me 6 figure jobs. Like, my mom is so proud of me. I'm the Picaso of mspaint. But can we keep this a paladin guide thread and not a awkward complain about a photo credit thread? Like i get it. I just wanted to know how people do the Zak arms. Thanks for the help to the actual helpful people out there.
