Title: MDEF Piercing
Post by: rolover on May 29, 2010, 12:37:28 pm

Couple questions regarding to the topic:
1- Does High Wizard card work outside of WoE/PvP?
2- Does mind breaker actually work

Reason is...I thought I'd try auto-spell prof in Thors, now I know that they have high MDEF which is why I was wearing/using both the above
However, I was doing 1k total dmg max per lv10 cold bolt on kasas, while my phys crits do 520 each hit
And even though I'm casting like 100 bolts per second it still takes forever to kill them
By my calculations...70MDEF reduced by half then by 60% INT MDEF should lower it enough for someone with 140 int to do more than 100 dmg per bolt
Which brings me to another question of, does the above reduce int-type MDEF as well? Or not? Even if they dont...I should still be doing a lot more damage than I am

on a side note, does HW halve your cast time? I don't think -10 dex makes my cast soooooo much slower :S

By my calculations...70MDEF reduced by half then again by 80% should lower it enough for someone with 140 int to do more than 100 dmg per bolt

it does, it just doesn't pierce the def of mvps as far as i tested

So are kasas Mini-MVPs now?
And maybe mind-breaker doesn't work on MVPs either? How can you tell if it worked?? It doesn't show any animation like provoke

ALSO is WB THAT much stronger? Cause I just saw a prof doing 300/hit with it...

that was me, was testing with and without hwiz
same dmg, so hwiz isn't piercing their mdef

kasa and salamanders are boss type monsters so the hw card would not pierce their mdef. use the vesper card instead.

and yea, the hw card seems to be doubling cast time as well.

never noticed that, i always have ic when i use hwiz @_@

edit: yea, cast is much slower, just tested without stings+hwiz, then with stings+hwiz to keep the exact same ammount of dex. cast is much slower when hwiz is equipped

Ignores MDEF of normal monsters. Slows your casting time by 2x. Reduces SP regeneration rate by 100%.
Drain 2000 SP as the headgear is unequipped.

thats the original description of the card. prob just changed it so it only pierces 50% mdef and -10 dex. before the switch i think we didnt have that increased cast time.
