Doing minimum damage all the time!

[___________CurikXXXX]

Alright I've rerolled an adventurer and so far focused on heals. All the way trough 1-80 this has been flawless! Very effective.

Now that I want to do some actual damage, I find myself in a very strange situtation. None of my weapons in the range of 1hedged work at hecklers nor the other SL mobs.

No one is forcing me into SL, but it would be fun to at least do half of my damage there.

Right now I'm using a ql 179 Sol Fire Executioner Type F.
Does around 130 damage per hit on Elysium Hecklers with 900 AR.

Gelid Blades would change this I'm sure. But I'm not in the shoes to get one and neither is my org. And what happends when you hit the MBR with gelids? They have 1200 MBR and sols have 2500 MBR.

That's what this thread is about I guess - because if there aren't any better news, I might as well ipreset and go 2hedged and gimp myself, rather than doing this minimum damage.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but all hecklers in SL (or about 99% of the time) have insane AC's, and everyone 99% of the time will do the min damage of their weapons on them. This has been the idea since SL came out, and we all had to re-evaluate our weapon situations. RK weapons are no longer uber in SL.

A weapon that is 200-300 (50) is a billion times better in SL than weapon that had always been awesome...the RoP....which is 40-500 (250). Min damage is all that matters anymore, max damage is useless.

If you plan on playing in the SL, and you should because the XP is incredibly, you need min damage weapons. If money and man power is tight, I recommend using a QL 105 Crispy Chiroptera, going rate about 15-20 mills, and then try to get yourself an IceBound Heart from the Inner Sanctum. A million times easier to get than a Gelid, but just not as good min damage wise. Either way you'll be much better off.

Been considering the Chiropteras, but they are also having that low MBS! :/ Get's me worried how I will do in the higher lvls.

Also, I don't find the "Sneak Attack" requirement very ammusing but, I guess I'll have to go with that then. Money is no problem, really.

Strange that nasc hecklers didn't seem to have this much AC's at the time we hit them, I did well on those. Oh well.

Thanks alot for your help man, appreciate it tons.

Dude, don't get so hung up on MBS. If you were ranged your end game weapon would have an MBS of 1000, so trust me I say don't complain. This is the reality of the game atm, its not pick and choose. Eventually near 200+ you'll use a Shank of Maze for good backstab's, and they have oustanding MBS.

I'm sure that the reason none of the Nas mobs have high AC value is simply because of the level range that is supposed to be there. About the highest person you'll see out there is 75ish that can still get ok xp. At <75 you really have no weapons that have a high min damage that you can use either because of prohibitive IP use or because most people at low level prefer fast light hits to slow hard hits as their inits aren't too high.

Trantice: I wasn't complaining, I was seeking advice and brought up the problems that I saw. I've bought myself one of those Chiropteras and I'm going to twink em in by tonight.

Thanks again

Well combo of both is the best. RoP is still uber on Adonis hecklers. Because the RoP does Chemical damage you don't hit min damage all the time.

Im testing Crispy Chia-Pet (I invented that nickname) with SoC now, previously had a Chia/Gelid and before that 2x Gelids for awhile.

Quite often, the Chia does 512-2300 damage, seems the AR cap isnt 100% for my AR, unless I'm figuring something wrong in the dmg formula. Crispys still do great damage at L200. I need to play around with them & see what happend with a few hours with the damage dumper.

Cant beat a 13k backstab on a SoC. First one was on Tara 3 minutes after I equipped it. Now into day #2 with it =)

Even when I was L150ish and did hecklers, my QL200 SOL Fs barely tickled them. I didnt say anything because the tank wasnt very good, and if I got better weapons, I'd be dead meat! I think I did 200 damage with them, buffed and in Kitty form.

Save up for a Chia.

If you're on RK1, have a few friends with Inner Sanctum Knowledge, and some time to kill...send me a tell. The only hard part about Inobak is pulling him really.

If you don't have your Inner Sanctum Knowledge, please don't send me a tell asking for IS help though. I've helped people farm so many hundreds of perm keys that...well I'm done with it. Killing the IS level 2 bosses for keys doesn't take a raid sized group...just a good team of Tl5 & 6 people...
