Man these new areas are really drat nice. That mushroom place that's basically the remnants of North Myre reminds me of The Last of Us since all the enemies there have been infected by spores and turned into mushrooms. And there's a goddamn easy access shop/repair/disassembler right by the dungeon entrances!

Really I just want the class with the flashiest, brightest and most satisfying attacks v:shobon:v

You start spamming actual spells after lvl 40 or so. Before that mashing xxx with Light element attacks will get you through pretty much everything.

With monks and ducking rush, is there any decent way to like, make a thing so you do your attacks from it instantly? Though maybe my trouble with it would be less if I was using a controller .

I used to play Monk on a gamepad using xpadder, and basically I set a button dedicated to Ducking Dash. Once I hit the button I immediately hold the direction I need and my attack button (which is set to maximum autofire). That should give you a near instant attack without moving you too far.

Fun fact: with enough attack speed and autofire, you can grab someone with Smasher, hold down attack and your punches come out so fast that they connect on the enemy as they're still in the thrown animation, letting you continue your combo on them.

I haven't played a Spitfire since the very first open beta under Nexon (and later with the first introduction of female gunners). I just made one tonight and man, they're so much better than before. Now you actually get a decent amount of bullets to work with and I've managed to actually save some bullets for a second or even third room sometimes. And you get multiple casts of Flash Mine now, and those weapon passives, jesus. Muskets used to be so lovely but now they're amazing with Spitfires.

So far it looks like the game is running smoothly, so hopefully there won't be any downtime between OBT1 and OBT2, unless that next major patch is ready and we get FEMALE SLAYER or KNIGHT.

I've noticed that equipment pots don't really drop anymore. Do they only appear after a certain level or are they just only purchasable from Danjin now?

Also, what are the more useful APCs you can craft as an Animator? Either for being good meatshields, DPS, or really good skills?

Spitfire really starts to shine once you have all your elemental grenades and bullets. I love how freeze forces the enemy to stand, letting you continue your combo. Rotating between electrocution grenades, freeze bullets, and freeze grenades for guaranteed combo reset lets you lock down bosses entirely.

A friend and I are duoing a male and female spitfire and it is fun + hilarious how things just get locked down and never recover

I usually solo, and I've started just rushing the boss with Punisher+Freeze Bullets into Electro Grenades and then rotating between that and Freeze Grenades. Bosses die before the rest of the room even hits me.

Did they change Spitfire's C4 skill from a long time ago? I remember it being a single block you could stick onto enemies, now it's 5 mini-bombs that debuff enemies as well? Do the debuffs stack or does it cap at one bomb's effects?

Also what are these legendary items I see in the AH/global chat? They don't look like epics since they're sealed and tradable.

Spam xxx until you get to like level 51/52 when you can buy the TP Enhanced Infernal Road.

Before 51/52 though it's just trying to group up mobs to hit them with your AOE skills and cleaning up stragglers with xxx spam.

Controller players: how much do you balance command inputs vs hotkey inputs on your skills? I'm on 360 pad and have LB and RB bound to skills, ABXY bound to Jump/Attack/Skill1/Skill2 for command inputs, and I'm running out of space and getting cool abilities with difficult command inputs.

Can't you turn your analog sticks into hotkeys? I move with the dpad, use Back/Start as my primary/secondary items, and (Left Stick) Left, Up, Right and (Right Stick) Left, Up, Right to cover six hotkeys.

Also, you can change the command input for any of your skills. Make it something simple like Left-Space or something. Or set up xpadder so that when you hit a button you go into a macro that chain casts all your buffs at once (space, left-space, up-space, down-space, etc).

You can but it still makes you move when you use them (if you can disable this I cannot figure out how the gently caress you do so in xpadder). I have 4 skills on my dpad and move with the left analog butit's really annoying because the movement means I need to use skills that don't get ruined by the sudden direction (like all my grabs). :sigh:

Enable both sticks and dpad in your controller profile, make sure the dpad input mapping is for the arrow keys and the sticks are the X/Y axes.

Then for your actual key mapping, put the arrow keys over the dpad and the hotkeys over the cardinal directions of the sticks.

Answered my own question: oh god i can't do anything right this is hard halp :(

Are you on keyboard or gamepad? I played Monk a long time ago on gamepad and it was difficult binding all the keys you need. Early on it's all right but after 35 or so you just run out of room. And with the new DFO and everything a lot of early monsters you can't really juggle or grab anymore, so as a Monk you're relying on hitstun and dashing around more.

It kind of still is related to Dungeons and Dragons! There's elves and dwarves and bigass loving dragons to kill. It's just instead of you picking Warrior or Elf, you kinda pick Sol Badguy or Chun-li.

The worst thing about DFO is that nothing really ever comes out of those treasure chests you find in dungeons. I was expecting gold, equipment, items, anything, even a mimic for all I care. But you never get anything.

F. Mechs are basically gimped Rangers until lvl 25, when they get their G-2 robot. Once you have that you can cycle through G-1 and G-2 to have permanent uptime on your G-series. G-1 Corona shoots faster if you spam the skill key, so if you're playing on gamepad and set the hotkey to turbo you can stunlock almost everything in the game. You can even carry them through the air since it shoots so fast, and while they're helpless you target Detonate your Landrunners and EZ robots at them for more damage.

I picked this up playing a Male Mage because they weren't around last time I played and have been having a blast, but when I tried playing a Priest it just feels extremely clunky getting in range of things to punch them instead of just shooting bullets everywhere. I used to play a Witch so all I ever did was jump around and spin forever, should I just stick to the Mages if I don't like how Priest feels or do the melee classes get better at actually making contact with enemies later on?

It depends on the melee class. Monk gets dashing moves, Exo kinda has to run in, Avenger has a dash or something in devil form. If you like ranged combat though you could play a Gunner class.

Does Berserker get much mileage out of a good upgraded weapon like the Dragon Weapon? I want to make a Slayer besides Asura and would rather make a Berserker than a WM, but if Berserker won't get much out of a really strong weapon...

I think they're kinda mixed damage the last time I played one. Frenzy is percent, so is Mountainous Wheel and your awakening, I think the blood geyser move and the grab are fixed damage.

How feasible is it to make it to 70 in a month? Seems like that might be tight to impossible on time.

It's definitely possible, but will rely on a few things.

a) Arad Explorer XP bonus you get from having high level characters on your account

b) All dungeon difficulties unlocked beforehand, so you can run everything on Hard instead of Easy/Medium for maximum XP

c) On that note, having the required materials to quickly finish gathering quests so that you can unlock epics faster and skip poor XP-to-FP ratio dungeon runs

d) You'll probably have to use up all three tower passes when you hit the right level, and then the new towers we're getting with OBT2

e) Burning XP weekends and potions

f) Using up your FP entirely every day, and maybe getting some FP potions from Alchemists

If you do absolutely everything you should get a lvl 70 before the end of the third week.

Avenger is super cool but the Engrish skill information confuses the gently caress out of me.

So basically, for any Avenger skill, you can press Z, X, or C during it to do extra attacks? And it costs some Demon Gauge to activate? X seems to add extra hits, is C a launching hit?
