I remember when people cant beat Bramble and people QQ about it while me having a good time killing Bramble with my archer under a minute (Multi-shot) 
And dont forget the poison worm Ravinepede, people just want the poor thing to be nerf while you can buy antidote and use it with 0 CD, oh… the irony… ahahah… good times

You’ve been waiting to say that haven’t you?
And yeah there’s ways around it, but most won’t have perfect uptime. And far more so if you just want one cleric.
-
You obviously still want a chronomancer for cc, haste, backmasking and pass.
-
A dievdirby’s cd statue and carve world tree alongside Statue of Goddess Ausrine should help prevent a chunk of dmg. Druid2 for sterea trofh can also help, if reversi doesn’t become common there.
-
Counter spell has a 60s downtime, and a count limit. Still if you cast it on a tank it should help as they can provoke while the mages/cleric are unaffected. Not bad for a 1 circle option.
-
Revive would be neat, as it can prevent a death and turn things around. Best if you have a chronomancer though.
-
A spr paladin with barrier, resist elements and pardoner for magic def.
Which is what, 1100+ dmg reduction? Magic def’s downtime should be skippable with pass. Also good vs melee enemies. Archers though… (can you use barrier + stairs to just snipe everything?) -
Perhaps a Spiritual chain + healing factor combo? And a int thaum’s umblical cord? Probably to taxing on overall dmg. It’s still time based after all.
1 tank, 3 wiz, 1 cleric. (wiz/ele, cryo/warlock, chrono?, paladin)
They also got vids on floor 3, 4 & 5 on that youtube channel with the same team.
But yeah this looks like fun.

Theses are two boss that I skipped until being hlvl enough °°
/casualplay
Ohh i missed that chrono xD.
Earth tower looks really fun.
Maybe somethings needs to be balanced.
But mostly its balance regarding tank mechanics and cc mechanics.
I can see that there’s no perfect team for all 7 floors.
YOu will want to think of.
“What do we need to get, over that floor?”
Then try it… fail… try it again. Win. Then fail at the next floor, cause you were too “YEAH LETS JUST GO 5 ARCHERS against these melee boars!”.
With int trauma, you can share lots of con with everyone ^^.
And i still think runecasters will be an good rank to take.
Bonus health and defense (magic defense i think too) for the tank.
And a situational 3 time sdamage buff to ice skills (that are not groudn aoe’s).
Gust.(never saw it used… so sad)
Frost Spike (used it alot)
Ice Blast (never used)
Ice Wall … HEY CRYO 3! How about making a wall? xD
Gust deals 3 times damage to forzen enemys.
With runecaster you have an overheat skill that hits for 9 times the matk+skill atk.
Freezing is easy, and the think that held them on so long there.
But heck… not waiting for everyone and just go into the floor solo… after dieing. Was just so pub random style.
You will need a team. Not a random mob of cookies.
Right… i laughed each time i heard that.
Bramble was fun. I was archer 3 Hunter… xD.
And heck.
People build stupidly back then and will do it again.
Ignore pots.
And mechanics.
I learned alot in these past half year…
Maybe people should “Read” a bit before playing a game they waited so long to play xD.
The problem is people dont READ!!
Instead people nowadays especially newbies they just ASK, ASK, and ASK, while some people with experience spoon feed them, result this kinds people will never learn until they come up or face death and boom they QQ in forums requesting nerfs. History will repeat itself once iOBT launches trust me…

True…
Spoiled Generation of gamers.
I remember a time. Where you began playing without knowledge. Then found out it’s to hard. And actually search for info to make it easyer…
People can’t use they’re brains… and today the internet holds so much information … but people can’t use it right.
HECK, people cryed Archers were garbage.
When i was solokilling bosses with two multishots in 90er dungeon…
They just didnt know that you dealt less damage without upgraded weapons… that’s it. IMC removed that nice feature, that would balance archer quite a bit. Now it’s like the previous debuff on +10 equip …
People will run full Dex or str builds… and laugh at me when they see me prior to 220 …
I will prepare my evil smile.
Str scales well, yes.
Dex gives good evasion, yes.
But 600 atk or so at level 280 for max str builds.
… Is just stupidly low amount.
You get 280 atk from levels.
And lot’s of atk from equip and skills …
You wont feel the difference that much … As most of your Atk comes from other sources.
But 16k hp against 46k hp for swordy full con build… is a difference. (without buffs).
For references.
Archer crossbow around 400 damage + cannon around 400 damage (withotu upgrades, not the best ones) +280 atk = 1080 atk
With upgrades you can add another 200~300 atk.
Now 600 atk are still a bonus of 50% of your current atk with these stats.
Luckily, archer dont need max con builds xD … but full one type stat builds will suck so hard xD.
Oh and right. High tier ranks base skill atk is higher then any str boost will help you.
6k skill atk on level 5 snipe? 13k on level 15.
Pff … even if you multiply 600 with 4… that doesnt give much damage prior to other multipliers. And cannoners have around 4 k skill atk with 150% atk scale…
Even Fletchers have lots of skill atk…
I just have a question. is the goal here to clear all the mobs or survive till the time limit elapses?
kill all mobs in a certain floor to advance before time reaches 0
okay, now it makes sense. hahaha
Soo the best would be to have a balance of both stats since your equipment and skill will provide the base damage?
Yes.
Atleast if you go for high atk skills later ingame.
You wont be that max dps damage dealer.
But having some con, dex ( not the best late game, mobs get 300 accuracy or more xD) or spr will make your life easyer…
And laugh at the physical atk cookie cutters without spr.
When they encounter the first mobs who hit 5k damage, have 200k hp and a block rate better then themself (without stoneskin buff).
Try out the stat calculator from tosbase xD. And look at 260+ mobs too.
Just wanna share a good video of earth tower…that already posted by someone on another thread, they have a good party.
So is there ever a map where you need a main tank and off tank like WoW? Since it seems like CC and AoE Attacks are more important.
Ahhh right, hehehe thank you so much for the insight!
And some good buffs, and defense tactics against ALLL types of damages.
Enemys there on floor 4 steal magic circles too. So barrier and stuf fwotn work there well xD. Even heal get’s compromised.
And floor 6 is massive on matk aa.
It takes some tought and cordiantion to get past these floors. ^^
And non cookie cutter builds probably.
Teach me master! Hope I see you in game or join you in one of your runs!
That would amount to much luck. As i don’t know which server i will roll on ^^.
Most likely the first one to come up xD…
And a pro tip.
Hidden mechanics. Learn them all!
Punji Stake
Cartar Stroke
Lethargy
AOE Skills with no natural AOE.
Some things arent written down, but where tested out.
And some combos might not seem good, but have interesting effects in some situations.
Cartar stroke will damage enemys knocked back for 50% phys atk (witout def substraction). A skill which should hit 5 or so enemys, can clear 20 with one strike. Or atleast damage them heavily. 5 natural hits+ 50% phys atk PER enemy koncked back to all Enemys hit by the Knockback.
With reduce AOE defense, you can knock x amounts of mobs. For x amounts of 50% phys atk to ALL of them.
Punji works the same xD. Every flugn enemy damages each other for 50% phys atk.
Lethargy buffs 100% strike damage, + double atk on earthqauke.
Multishot is a hidden aoe skill.
And there’s more xD.

Sadly i only recorded the low level grind there.
When i hit level 45 i started to mob more xD. As i had magic defense and stuff then.
