try going to the same maw you entered?

Same maw I entered through not letting me back in. ;; I had to warp out as well and not having any luck getting back in. :/

Yeah, that's what I did. And a new maw not letting me in either.

Edit: Sonomaa said to go back in to the one that SPIT me out, since it's different than the one I went in to.. trying that.

Edit again: Yay it worked. Damn Garlaige!!!

[Kaelia]

Does DNC require any sort of scroll to learn their dances? Or just the appropriate level?

[Tarumara]

level, 5 = drain samba1

Did you have to go back through garlaige in the past to enter the maw again?

Nice, does it own hard?

[blister1]

2-5 hp drains, they go off a lot, 0 when hp is full.

[Tarumara]

Taru do a 360 when they dance :3

How does dance targetting work? Is it self or do you use it on the enemy?

Thats not bad, wonder what effects it: lvl, skill, weather..

[Tarumara]

If you hit 0s, you dont get th drain effect to activate~

That is pretty horrible, although not for low levels. I just hope it gets stronger later.

[Tarumara]

Ok, so, When you use the effect of Samba, the mob you hit with the samba effect up will give a "daze" effect(drain daze for drain samba).

when drain daze if on the mob, all party members gain the effect to drain HP when hitting the mob.

[mai ikari]

Drain Daze (presumably all dazes) lasts 10 seconds, refreshed each hit, so if you wiff a few, it wears off.

Drain Samba lasts 2 minutes, Trance lasts 1 minute. Added to wiki.

what i noticed, is that it would drain half the dmg of my hit, most of the time. i got up to 8-9dmg drains.

remember there are also 3 tiers of drain samba, so i'm sure it'll get better.

[Taolynn]

Drain Samba is learned automatically. I think most dances might be learned this way... would be nice.

It lasts 2 minutes. It's an effect on you only. When you hit the mob it will infect the mob with Drain Daze. So long as you keep hitting the mob for 1 damage or more it will keep the effect on it.

Interesting job so far. Gah was in the middle of typing this before someone else posted it

Drain Samba appears to cost 10 TP to use.

Also, I see many DNC/MNK on my server - what is their H2H rank? It doesn't really surprise me, since dagger WSs suck balls until Dancing Edge except for stacking with SATA (Viper Bite). I suppose that like thief, using H2H at low levels with /mnk for Martial Arts works out pretty well. It will suck using a D or E rank skill (sword/h2h, whatever) at levels 40-60 though...ugh, the accuracy...

Dancer on my server said Sword and H2H are skill 28 at level 10, Dagger is 31. Looks like D-rank Sword and H2H, B-rank Dagger. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere. That means Dancing Edge, if they get it, is at level 62 (dagger skill 202). At level 61, H2H skill would be 184, which is 23 points below an A+ weapon at that level.

Maybe they switch to daggers way earlier just for TP build since most of the TP is going towards dances, and Dancers don't WS much? Hard to say - seems likely.

H2H and Swords tend to be better than daggers at DOT at low levels. I remember using a pair when I leveled it in dunes (I think I used more swords when I finally got DW). Since you don't get access to dual weild until 20, /MNK will be popular until around then.
