Title: Decrease Agi.
Post by: aDri.yall on November 15, 2009, 09:24:38 pm

Is there a way to prevent decrease agi or stone curse in niff?

If your a WS you can use Cart Boost to cancel Decrease Agi...
If your an HP then you can use Agi Up to cancel Decrease Agi...

Gear wise you can use GTB to stop both...
You can wear ED to prevent Stone Curse...

I'm a WS but cart boost most definitely does not cancel agi for me >_< Are you sure it works?

you sure? One Cart boost only cancel the effect of decrease agi at first, you need to cast it two times to get the cart boost buff after get dec agi.
Disguise carded armor may be better for solution.

decrease agi you can counter using cart boost as a whitesmith or using agi up from osiris clip with everything other class that doesnt have it. Stone curse I'm not entirely sure on the most practical approach, there is a card that i believe compounds on armor to reduce your chance to get it, but that would be sacrificing more useful cards such as your garm/bath/ed/disguise etc. I guess Disguise armor would help the most (silences enemies by chance when hit) I believe the Quves are the ones that cast the Stone curse and they usually are dead within 2-3 secs when you attack the mob, and if you are wearing Disguise armor, chances are they get silenced while you are mobbing.

Yeah, it's annoying but if you are tough enough, best to ride through it. If you dont need any additional gears, I would recommend investing in an Osiris card. It lets you use agi up and also level 1 or 2 Warp Portal. That way you can counter Decrease Agi AND not have to ask for ports again hehe.

Hmm wonder if one has sleips and unequip and requip them, would they counter decrease agi? Since when you equip Sleips it says speed has been increased, same message you get with agi up

That's why I prefer DDBS mace.
No more adrenaline rush, no more horrible aspd if decrease agi and suitable for other low level classes.

Medusa buckler reduces like 15% demon dmg, and gives immunity to stone curse.  I prefer it over other shields in niff personally.

I'll give it another try once I can get online again, I'm pretty sure I tried that and it didn't work though.

Yes CB cancels DC but you'll need to recast AR to gain ASPD...

Post by: shadowfaux on November 16, 2009, 12:34:01 am

Very... no random buffs from priests, no assump from soul ring, loli armor heal wont do anything, that and no extra damage reduction from card effects that you would get from other shields.

Stone curse still occur when u got 99 vit.( and if u not using ED armor)

For bs...osiris swap, it gives agi up, also i heard blood axe stops agi down, but never tested it.

On ws= cart boost, adrenaline rush and cart boost again.

Thanks guys, btw to the guy who said Osiris clip, I'm buying one btw anyway, still can't manage to find one, and I retired my sin to niff, so I barely got niff gears, I'm just using a random +4 saints robe[diguise], still have yet to get offers on some universal +7 armors particularly mink coats. You can check my buying thread in the marketplace thanks.

^Thats what I use + Berserk Pot. And its really handy leveling first job chars to job 50.

+7 MInk is too much.
With proper reducs, just a Disguise Lord's Robe is enough >:
And for stone curse, Hammerfall.
