you can use it at level 1 and still have 12 seconds of PoA, paying only 2,5k silver or the price of a level 1 attack scroll.
I’ve seen a video of a Warlock with 2x Pole of Agony and it was actualy strong. With Pole level 1 and scroll you have a “overheat” for 2,5k silver
Level 1 is 8s duration. But yeah you said you’d get 0 points in it? Which struck me as a complete waste.
have you heard of an attribute called Maintain?
IF the scroll had 20~30 seconds delay I’d leave it at 0, as it has 1~2 minutes, I’ll be using both at level 1.
Yes i have. Do you know what it does? Because it doesn’t increase your pole’s duration, only the DoT’s (if you even manage to apply it) 
Yes, but in the end the effect is sort of the same to be honest, the DoTs are multiplied by both quickcast and attributes so only the base damage is lowered, considering you are only taking it at 1 the DoT is almost as strong as the Pole itself.
+4 seconds on the DoT gives ALMOST the same damage as +4 seconds on Pole.
Pole is a skill you make lots of mobs go through, not stand on.
The DoT’s damage decay has nothing to do with your Pole’s base damage though, saying
is not only wrong but also makes no sense.
Anyways, no it’s not almost the same damage as +4 seconds on Pole - not only will the DoT already be at its lowest damage during those 4 seconds but you’re not accounting the fact that having the skill at level 5 does not stop you from ALSO having that attribute, for a 12s long pole + 14s long DoT.
You’re talking about point efficiency right? Because at 10 [dark theurge] and adn 10 [invocation] (both 10 for max number of hits per spirit), that’s 10 points left to distribute to 5 skills ranging from 1 ([evil sacrifice] lol) to 10 pts max.
the biggest problem I see with the PoA and the difficulty to hit it because the effect area is minimal. the skill may well give 36 hits however, who said you get hit 36? with Mastema If you hit, you have sure been right all the hits, I know that the damage of the PoA is based on the monster pass through the PoA and not is up however, who said that you had managed to get everyone the monsters go over? you can hit a 20 hits at most
Position Pole while running with mobs on your back for example, then go through it, all mobs get DoT effects then you only need to keep going back and forth through Poles, there’s a video on the forum showing a Warlock doing this with 2 PoA (scroll) and finishing with that alone (he had level 9 PoA though iirc) and he literaly finished a pack of mobs.
People here are taking magic DoTs lightly, they’re based on your matk with all attributes and multipliers, generaly only the base value is lower, like a level 0~1 skill. Considering high matk values you can get tons of damage out of those DoTs.
Mastema is the same, though it’s mist likely another skill to finish linked mobs, with it’s short number of hits and maximum power it most likely won’t finish level 300 mobs without Linker, even if you have 100% attribute and quickcast you will barely take 50% of a mobs HP.
For Elememes:
Currently the best path seem (TO ME) to be something arond Wiz 3 > Ele 3 > Linker 1/2 > Sage.
Consider the fact that you can, by having Linker, give much better use to all your Ele 3 skills, even Frost Cloud. Eletrocute on Linked mobs with Taoist effects are going to hit like a truck.
Sage already give ranged protection so Theurge loses defensive value. Sage’s high base values are pretty good when comboed with low ranks of Linker because it consumes less Hit Counts.
How all this korean videos have level 315 +o- and lvl 15 class? Its because the x8 exp tomes?
Where is this video?, I readed all post concerning sorc or warlock, never seen it
Koreans get More events, more silver, more exp, more exp tomes, and more dungeon runs. Because they cannot make new accounts - their accounts are bound to their phone numbers/ssx or something.
Ok thx for the info, I apreciated it
I’d add that they are most likely required (and supported) by their publisher to run these events and honor content release schedules like R8. Since the Steam version of the game is self-published, when they are crunched for time by contract requirements we get put on the back burner.
What a bull****. Almost no one creating new account, because for what? Other regions have worse administration - thats all.
Still i dont understand why we cant have more silver from dungeons, events etc.
Im a new player and never taste a warlock…can u gimme clear info?
Does levelling up PoA skill also larger the aoe size??
How exactly PoA work?? What is the DoT duration??
The new mastema attribute…do we have to keep the enemy inside the circle to get the extra hit?? Or we have to deal the initial first hit and the monster will get extra damage even when they step outside the mastema aoe??
Will Drain increase the spirit auto attack damage? Or the damage is equal to DT’s damage??
Nope, it’s only increase the pole duration and damage, not the AoE size
PoA work similar like pyro’s fire pillar, but if the monster move away after they get first hit by PoA, they still receive DoT. I don’t really know how much the DoT duration since it’s hard to test, but as far as I c the DoT damage not as strong as the full hit PoA
Don’t really know since mastema attribute didn’t hit us yet, but as far as we see from videos it seems we only have to deal the first hit and the monster still receive DoT even after step outside the aoe, like you said.
This one I wondering too, still no clear info about how this skill works… there’s only few videos who test this skill…
anyone knows how much attribute this warlock has on his mastema? right now im saving money for mastema in r8 as a secondary dps option after fc.
Mastema can be resisted… and Pole of Agony can do x2 damage if you take the mob out of the pole and then you bring it back in, the dot and the pole will do separated dmg
