General Discussion

Sup guys!
Im trying to figure out what is the current party meta for EarthTower.

Should be something like this:

Linker / Chronomancer / Plague Doc / Ele3-Warlock / One more DPS?

Share your opinion! =]

Eearth Tower doesn’t need tank.

#4

Hmm… according to the video:
ele3-Warlock
Fletcher 3
Cryo3Chrono3
Linker2Chrono3
Cleric 2 - Krivi 1 - Priest 2 - Oracle 1 - Plague Doctor 1

#5

well, swordies just dont get any love at all lol

#6

That Barrier thing ins’t a Paladin C3 skill?

#7

Thanks to Pardoner, it’s a Anyone skill as long as you have the scroll. They’re pretty cheap too @ 1k each only.

As for the meta

  1. Bokor -> Plague Doctor
  2. Bokor -> Kabbalist
  3. Bokor -> Kabbalist
  4. Warlock
  5. Warlock

EZ win.

#8

It’s a paladin C3 skill but thanks to Pardoners scroll-making people rather just use Barrier scrolls and take another class with them instead.

Personally, i hope sometday they gonna change Pardoners. Pardoners make so many classes useless since they can just be replaced by scrolls.

You can get away with Krivis because it’s an early class, but Barrier scrolls downright destroy any reason you’d ever want a Paladin in your party. They really should replace Barrier with Resist Elements, tbh. Doesn’t kill what Paladins have up their sleeves and all, and Resist Elements is a good spell to scroll for your tank.

Going to cross-post this here from a reply of this topic I made elsewhere.

Hi, someone farming 5/F and soon to advance to 10/F, and have spectated many runs from 10/F to 15/F.

Wizard C3 - Elementalist C3 is key. Fastest tick damage, biggest AoE, and easy clear on first floor due to fire mobs.

Chronomancer is great, with either Cryomancer C3 or Linker C2. Thaumaturge is viable as wizard support as well, with Linker C2 or Linker C3 with a static party. Most parties will require at least one wizard support, though highly coordinated teams can go without them. For anyone entry to ET, I recommend against going without one.

Your Cleric MUST have a minimum of Priest C1 and Cleric C2 if you’re serious beyond 10/F. It’s doable without Priest C1 to 5/F easily, and very difficult from 6/F to 10/F without. Dievdirbys is wonderful, all three circles. Priest C3 can save your neck, and will refresh buffs like Blessing which otherwise falls off really, really early into the run. Plague Doctor is strong with a tank in the party, for Healing Factor, and provides decent extra damage.

Archer isn’t mandatory. Quarrel Shooter C3 does not provide good damage really. Pavise and Caltrops have some use for mitigation. Excels well on 3/F against the totem. Can do decent damage against bosses. Requires Falconcer C1 into an R7 to provide decent party damage support on DPS check floors. Fletcher C3 isn’t very strong in the DPS check floors, especially without Linker, but you can play carry-the-Fletcher to boss rooms for them to deal with bosses in an easier manner. The 5/F boss is easy, but the 10/F boss is quite difficult. Both have instant-kill potential with sheer AoE damage. I run with an SR2 in my static party in ET, who does solid damage and can mob.

Tank is completely unnecessary to 5/F. It helps a lot from 6/F to 10/F. It’s basically necessary from 11/F onwards. Doppelsoeldner is a viable DPS for higher floors if you can keep them alive.

And as an added note, I strongly believe that nearly ANY sensible build can progress to 5/F (where the materials for boots and gloves are) at the bare minimum, pending their supporting party members. Not all will be able to make it beyond 5/F in our current level cap and job rankings. A meta for ET does exist for the upper floors.

It may just be me but seeing the word ‘meta’ for end game for a game like this that boasts:

http://puu.sh/pkuq2/e439881b8e.png
http://puu.sh/pkuwG/4376c4a5ca.png
http://puu.sh/pkuyG/2b1a05dd36.png

This is basically what I have been predicting. This game would have all kinds of ‘choices’ but a meta would be established and players would have to follow the meta builds anyways if they want to be included in things.

Not really sure anything can be done about this because it’s human nature to want the best instead of just taking whatever and having a slow, inefficient run.

It’s kinda sad really. Freedom of choice? Nah, freedom to ‘tinker’ until you discover a meta and once the metas are already established you better do what the community tells you if you want to do anything with others.

But it’s just my opinion.

That’s human nature. Didn’t you attend middle school? Favor the strong, cull the weak. The mighty get laid and the frail get ostracized. The popular chick only wants to date the quarterback.

If you’re ugly as sin and want some tail, you can always pay a slut to group with you.

#13

Perhaps you should go back to middle school and start over with your reading comprehension :slight_smile:

Damn son cut off that edge

What edge? I’d recommend not attempting to read too deeply into someone’s post as you’re only going to find a reflection of yourself. No edge present, and certainly no hostile intent like Flan surmised. Both of you need to chill. <_<

I only saw implications and that you did not notice that I already mentioned the human nature argument. Now you see that I did state it and all is well :slight_smile:

#17

Alright, everybody off the train. This ones about to derail.

#18

yeah chill guys… back to the main topic… =)

#19

Ontopic. Ive watched a brokanaut on occasion when bored. Theyve had a couple different combinations that cleared up to 5f, but there is definite classes that are more effective at the dps checks.

#20

Well, we knew this since ICBT witht he Linker raise and nowadays with the Non-Peltata Swordsman shaming, all becuase out comunity is full to top of tryhards.
This is why you should get a Guild that’s actually a proper comunity and not just ‘‘LET’S GET TO ENDGAME CONTENT AND DO EEET!’’, or at least is healty about that alt thing.
