yea, the only thing reason rhombus's are better than the straight elemental damage gems are when you crit the rhombus's add more critical damage than the elemental. i havent tryed using % gems yet though

btw, soul knight OWNSSSSs

How have you confirmed this? I'd much sooner trust anybody on this forum over any of the idiots on the various 2moons forums, but I think they're split 50/50, and neither side has any tests/data to back up their claims.

I haven't had the chance to play often lately, and I may get on now, but I use the level 40 +14 attack rings right now, but I'd probably use elemental rings and such as well. It wouldn't make sense to add those type of +Damage rings and only have mages or whoever has those abilities benefit from them. I

'll definitely test stuff with them too. I'm sure it also works that if you had +29 ice damage x3 and then went to Heiharp and fought "Ice" mobs, it'd not do as much as to a non-elemental mob, so meh.

How are you doing in game, Plow? Find some interesting stuff yet?

with attack acceleration i crit ALOT, i had 3 +14 physical damage rings and the +29 poison from the ring of soul and just let my guy swing away normally and each time the crit was the same number, i switched the 3 physical rings for 3 (of the same) +20 elemental damage rings and my crits were doing less damage even though i had more elemental damage.

Actually I was talking about the other part (that ele stuff adds to physical attacks). I figured it out myself... put 2 +29 gems into a lvl 1 hunter dagger, and she went out and was landing 70 dmg hits with that dagger, and 10 dmg with the normal. Figure that's pretty conclusive as well.

I actually haven't played since that pvp incident the other day.


The grind in this game is one thing but the level of asshole-ism I see is just mind boggling, really deterring me from wanting to log on.


I dunno I'd really like to get a VGM job but we'll see.

That'd be sweet o.o

o, my bad.

yea people argue about it when it's easy enough to test, like you've seen

The average intelligence of people that play 2moons is nowhere close to that of ffxi players. Honestly, if there was anything else out, I'd probably play it (spellborn, aion, warhammer, etc). Since there's not, it's an amusing tie-over. However, being idiots means they post all sorts of stupid, inane theories on the internet. You know, the ones like "well I'm really high lvl (12), and my friend is even higher (13), and his brother who is lvl22 says that gems don't add to your dmg". It's really hard to decipher sometimes which posters are bullshit, and which actually have a clue. That's why I'm on BG asking about another MMO.

same reason bg wow has more posters from different servers and shit than the actual guild

woo, double exp event!

[Akiyama]

Frizkhans in the Nunvice dungeon gave over 9000 exp.

Amazingly I found a way to fit that meme in. XD

I got randomly crashed about 5 times durin gthe 2 hour period too, so I'm taking a break. Went 41-43 through 1.8 times of the dungeon.. so it's real nice. I'll do it again on the 2nd.

Hit 52 with that event. 1.6 mil to next level now . Summoners blow now (their summons do jack shit in AOE parties). I wish I had more than 1 aoe move. I do decent dmg with it, but its not on par with other classes.

[Akiyama]

I hit 43, but due to the fact that I've played way less and that I got d/ced so much.. I don't even try much anymore.

Not that I'm surprised, but I doubt I'll bother playing much longer. The only xp is in aoe parties at this level, which means I don't even get to use my summon, and I can only use my one laim aoe move. Add to this the shitty controls, the complete lack of basic things such as a decent /tell function or a search function, the shitty targetting system, and the fact that lvl 60-80 assholes randomly PK you, and it's just irritating to try to play anymore.

your tenator summon uses an aoe skill(s).

keep on chugging

I'm on the beast tree. Do you know if selaine uses aoe?

Also, would this matter, since you can't leave your summon out while you're rounding up trains?

[Bartylby]

no idea. what i said is the extent of my summoner knowledge lol

The game seems so shallow. Even if lvling wasn't boring and obnoxious (at least in ffxi lvling can be fun with a good group even though grinding can be irritating), is there anything to do except for quests, either at this level or higher? You can't even talk to your party members in this one because mob repop times are 60 seconds, the GUI is impossible to use (what's a /tell?), and most players seem to be 11 years old, spam 1337speak, and spend more time pking each other on a whim than bothering to talk. Add to this the fact that the game has ffxi-esque item upgrade systems (massive amount of currency + item = 15% success rate or you lose the item?).

Maybe I'm just rationalizing so I can put a hold on 2moons and go back to ffxi cus they just ungimped my drg. :D
