    I don't believe its 20hp a tick, Pretty sure our war in our LS just pops a poison pot before steel cyclone or something, and if it is -20hp just bring an antidote for after your sata ws XD

    Pretty sure Kay is right on this, it was like 20+ HP a tick. It was a bad enough tick to make this retarded unless for WS only.

    Yeah asked the war in my ls, he just pops poison ws's uses a potion. He leaves the boomerang on at full time but only uses it for big nm's. Says that he just uses the menu for the pots.

    Beside a e-peen steel cyclone, I dont see why someone would pop a poison potion. The time you spend activating it, and the mage's mp you will waste make bomb core a much better alternative.

    The regen on it is nice solo, assuming you arent fighting mob with poison.

    Yeah, with barone, this boomrang, and hercules ring, you can solo almost anything on war, as long you have a bush, rock, tree at your disposal.

    my guess is mob's retarded pathing allowing you to kite anything indefinitely

    Kite mobs around those..you could essiantly kite them forever and not get hit with that method.

    Pathfinding in this game is retarded around those small circular object. With some nice regen gear (when you get hits by WS), you can literally solo anything.

    I soloed stuff like Sando mission in uggalpih temple (2 dolls), IT dhamel in bibiki, Ru'Aern NM using that strats.

    The sandy mission? About 15minutes. I had a rdm come for the last 35%, but I was still full and perfectly able to finish the fight. I was just kiting around manipulator room doing hit and run. I popped both dolls and trained them to entrance, zoned back in and came through Guardian doll's gate. Pulled 1 of the 2 and killed it, while the 2nd despawned.

    I tried the same strats for cactuar NM, but only got it to 40% before asking for help (1000needles was just not fun after my 2nd or 3rd npc died). It worked for 6-2 skeleton NM too, but those were kinda easy.


    Killing an IT dhamel on samurai earlier took me 2 meditates (6min) for 300xp. Not worth it for xp, but it's still fun, especially when everyone around you think you wont be able.

    In any case, having a regen set if you are a melee will save your life sooner or later. It's useful for solo, but also useful for holding stuff like sea NM. It also saved me a many times against bio or similar thing. I wouldnt call someone without one gimp, but I wouldnt get ride of mine at any cost
