Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

It does slightly more, but feels comparable to most of my regular crits. Got another six levels since my last post. So much faster. Build TP on chain 0-2 and buff. Pull five more and whirl claws them to death. Chain seven every time.

Are you a small or medium monster? Maybe it's like large monsters receiving 1.5x bonus on defense from instincts.

I only have bee, sabotender and WAR instincts atm to test with that have +attack stats on it.

Lvl30 Sabotender(NQ box) base 44 str 145 attack.

Adding bee instinct(I) of +10 by itself brought the total to 156 (+11 increase)
Adding Sabotender(I) of +15 by itself brought the total to 162(+17 increase)
Adding WAR instinct(I) of str+10 attk+25 by itself brought the total to 178(+33 increase)
Adding bee(I)+Sabo(I)+WAR(I) combined brought the total to 206 (+61 increase)

Lvl50 Mandragora (NQ box) Base 51 str 204 attack.

Adding Bee(I) brought it to 215(+11 increase)
Adding Sabo(I) brought it to 220(+16 increase)
Adding WAR(I) brought it to 237(+33 increase)
Adding bee(I)+Sabo(I)+WAR(I) combined total 264 (+60 increase)

Lvl01 Fly(White Box) 19 attack.

Adding Bee(I) brought it to 30 (+11 increase)
Adding Sabo(I) brought it to 36(+17 increase)
Adding Bee(I)+Sabo(I) combined total 47 (+28 increase)

Lvl16 Goobbue(Blue Box) Base 26 str 86 attack.

Adding Bee(I) brought it to 98(+12 increase)
Adding Sabo(I) brought it to 104(+18 increase)
Adding WAR(I) brought it to 122(+36 increase)
Adding bee(I)+Sabo(I)+WAR(I) combined total 152 (+66 increase)

Lvl31 Treant(Blue Box) base 38 str 145 attack.

Adding bee(I) brought it to 156 (+11 increase)
Adding Sabo(I) of +15 brought it to 162(+17 increase)
Adding WAR(I) brought it to 178(+33 increase)
Adding bee(I)+Sabo(I)+WAR(I) combined total 206 (+61 increase)

Besides already getting the higher numbers, the goobbue receiving some extra bonus on top of it.

Speaking of shitty moves does bee get anything after frenzy pollen because while that is decent it costs 300 tp and sharp sting is super shitty. Like against mobs where I have capped acc against sharp sting will still be floored <.<

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-08-09 11:06

All monster TP moves are in abils.xml right now in your windower resources folder. If the TP cost is negative, take the absolute value and add 94 to it for the real cost.

**dasva** · 2013-08-09 11:30

Can't really check that at work

nope!

Bees get those 3 TP moves and thats it... at least at level 60 thats all i have.

did anyone try to lvl Dhalmel to 30 or 50+ yet? I might lvl it if no one else did it yet

**Vanderleest** · 2013-08-09 12:40

I skimmed through the file to look, I don't see anything for bee but could have missed it. It looks like some have high level skills. Example: 10,000 Needles, Ecliptic Meteor, Gates of Hades, Acheron Flame; some of which have odd TP numbers like 44 and 119.

**Rocl** · 2013-08-09 13:12

In addition to receiving an attack bonus from instincts Ladybug also appears to get a 1.2x DEF bonus from instincts.

Anyone know if scorpion is a large or medium? Don't care to go unlock it if its restricted to terrible zones.

**fantasticdan** · 2013-08-09 13:58

Peiste information as of 35: war/war, white box size, no move speed bonus. seems to have high resist to water.

1- Torpefying Charge (100tp): AoE gaze paralyze
10- Delta Thrust (150tp): three hit physical damage + plague. Does like exactly three auto-attacks worth of damage, no noticeable hidden mod like ripper fang/tusk/etc.
20- Regurgitation (130tp): description says water damage to enemies around caster + knockback +bind, but it's long ranged move (about 25' max), and the AoE is weird. Seems like it makes a narrow cone all the way to whatever you target with it, so you can hit a bunch of things in a line. VERY low damage thou, a fraction of an auto-attack. Hoping this is modded by int/mab or something and it just sucks because of war/war.
30- Aqua Fortis (130tp): seemingly identical to regurgitation except with poison instead of bind. Even has the same animation. Was doing 2% of an IT mobs hp per tick at level 32ish.

Peiste Ins. I(6): water resist+30, petrify resist+30, haste+2

Tigers are white box (medium), so I'd be shocked if Scorpion isn't at least medium.

I figured at least medium and thats fine, i just dont want to do large monsters.

**Karbuncle** · 2013-08-09 14:13

I can't imagine it being a large monster, afterall there are small scorpion mobs in places like Shakrami

**Fwahm** · 2013-08-09 14:19

You can find mobs like Wamouras indoors too, though.

the scorpion is very small, smaller then the normal size ones, im lvl 38 on mine atm and its very good, best mob I have leveld so far. Just don't like the fact that im small enough for a taru to ride me lol

Scorpion is medium (White box).

**Vanderleest** · 2013-08-09 14:32

I forgot to ask this last night. Has anyone noticed that hate is very very odd? I had taken a mob down to about 50% and someone dropped a cure IV on me and pulled hate for the next 25%.

**fantasticdan** · 2013-08-09 14:35

Anyone know if the red raptor is still war/war?
