A3 Mania Forum

Hi guys,

I need serious help here. I am an RB 7 aura 1 mage with a Non-ele set G9 (Helmet and Armor still G8 lvl 8 )

I have completed the Enchanter and Ele Mastery Passives. I have also reached lvl 4 of Robust and Non-ele mastery. I will complete them soon. I want to know if there are any other passives that I should take.

Secondly, I am very confused when it comes to stats distribution after Rb. How should I understand what my stats should be? I desperately want to hunt in epi 3 and above maps and also hunt bosses like Ranias but I cant! Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thirdly, I have an HK merc which is lvl 73 rb 2 (not sure exactly) and an Archer merc rb 4 162. I came to know that HK merc can tank God Bosses. But my HK is noob! Should I lvl it up? What should its stats be?

Fourthly, Even after having full enchanter passives, my OPGs fail like mad. They fail more than they are successful. Any ideas why Im facing such oddity?

Please make it possible for me to hunt Bosses like those in Sidhe and Ranias. I hope mages are upto it, creating a new character now would be torturous!

hmm...Ok anayu...Listen..These are my thots upon as to wat u shuld do...!!!

1) Frst of all...Bout the passives....Dude..u dnt need to take both Ele mastery and Non ele mastery..wat i sugest is...u go a Hybrid mage at g9...u Make ele pants..Gloves..Helmet n staff...And non ele boots and Armor...!!
Now...Take Ele mastery coz Ele staff + ele mastery=Nice attck....!!
And nw..as far as other passives are concerned..take Fatality..max it...!!...then When u go aura 5...and hav enuf Ps points to Max more Passives..Decide Between precision...or..Evasion..u can Always opt for Armory too!!!...coz ull need defense more to kill high episode creeps..rather than hp bar...!!
And btw..Robust 6 only saves u 150 skill points..and as far as i know...on a rebirth server...150 skill points dnt matter much...try experimenting sm other passives...like Evasion..magic Evasion..n Accuracy...!!


2) Now..As for the Stat Distribution...See..wat i thnk is...u chose a rb...Like 7 or 8...and go aura at dat rb..aura 5..keep ur bar between 7-7.5k....ur points in dex 600+...ur Mp bar 5k..if u dnt hav Iartekk or Rn....and..rest of the points in attck..these are the stats which u shuld be having at aura 5 of dat particular rb...!!
Nw...i adviced u to tk aura 5 at dat rb..So dat u can do tarting n collect tarts and make rb items till rb 11...once ur rb 11 items are made..Strt Taking Rb...when taking Rb..keep in mind..to keep ur defense just 1k..and rest all in attck...coz....More the attck..more the damage..and more xp in GP..Do dis till u are lvl 160 rb 11...at lvl 160 rb 11..rearrange ur stats...!!
according to me..since u get 2.5k bar from aura 1=aura 5...keep ur bar 3-3.5k....sm1 suggested me to do so..ands its wrking awesome for me....Nw..keep ur hp bar 3-3.5k.. sm points in ur Mp bar..if u dnt hav Uni rings n Necklaces..ur Defense 1.5k...and rest in attck...Nw..im emphasizing on keeping the defense more..Coz when ull di Rb 12 Quest...Ulll hav to tnk Creeps of Clororence maps..And Believe me..They scare the holy shit out of u...coz the creeps are much more Deadlier than the bosses out there...And u need pure Defense to tank them....!!!


3) Nw..regarding the Hk merc tanking Gode Bosses thng..dats Completely FALSE.....i say so..coz i hav xperienced it..see..Hk mercs wid high defense are good In tanking bosses only upto Clororence maps...And God Bosses Dnt cm under dat category...nw...For God bosses u need high Hp..Coz many of the God bosses Ignore ur Defense..,,n If hk merc has Defense..it will be ignored...Dis has been successfully Proved By my Khmate Eros ^ ^ ....!!....so either u can cntct him in game..or See his Post..In game related Guide Section....!!!
As far as the Hk merc is concerned..if u wanna tank ranias n Clo map bosses or below bosses...Keep taking Hk merc Rb's...At rb 3..get him a Nice Opted G8 sword Set...lvl8+..And Pants shuld be Nearly Max opted..dats imp..so dat the Merc tanks Ranias Like Makhan ...!!...Nw..make ur merc Equip all dis at rb 3..and as soon as u take last rb..i.e rb 4..giv all the points into Defense..Make the merc defense...4k or 4.5k..n ur Merc will be tanking all the ranias at the same tym ....!!!


4) hmm..lastly..regarding ur OPG's Ka failure,,,Im also an enchanter..and i never reload my options wid opg..i agree to u..dat the OPG fail...Mine too fail hell lot..!!
but wat i do instead is..add OPG just to Add options Onto the stuff...thereafter i Reload the Armor options via a Maestro char...or a char having relations wid Npc...Coz Adding OPG's will never giv u Dot Maxed options on ur Stuff..But reloading From npc's Gives u Dot maxed...try it..n ull Believe Me ! ! !


PHEW ! !
I hope all dis Shit Will help u n ur char...!!
ne more inquiry ...Pm me ingame...!!
Till Then Ciaos

Oye mereko reputation Points De

Ok. Large answer and very satisfying but I need to say more.

1. I hate being a Synchro or Hybrid mage. I know that mixing the set gives best combo of attack and defence but I hate it. I wanted to go full non-ele. Is it imperative that i be hybrid mage? ( say no, say no )

2. About ur going aura thingy...in this rb my stats are fcuked up! so wat to do now? if i go aura 5 at rb 8 then wat shud my bar be at lvl 1 tell me that. otherwise how will i be sure if i can reach a 7-7.5k bar etc etc at aura 5. pls tell me the lvl 1 details.

3. thanx for the merc tips. no probs there.....

4. hmmm....reload.? i have to make a maestro....okk no prob...

5. About passives, since u say that robust is almost useless then shall i reset passives? Does resetting have any negative effect? I can reset them, no probs.... wat say?

thanx for the imbaaa post.

Wow oblivion thk u so much I have been asking ppl ingame and every1 gives illogical answer your build seems very good thx dude I shall follow your advice 1 question thou is this build good for tanking archer shots?? I get pked a lot by high) archers with this build do we stand a chance against them I know mages not good at pvp but can we atleast stay alive against archers with just 7-8 k hp cause some1 told me they do around 8-9 grand damage with thr uniques
Thk u for your time me gonna copy paste this mini guide and store it on ma pc. Thks a lot dude

Hmm...Okies...Lets try dis Out ! !

1) Its nt at all Imperitave dat u be a Hybrid mage..Everythng has its +vez n -vez...And Being a Non Ele Isnt bad...Non ele= IMBALANCE Defense.... ! !
But just ans dis Ques..If u wanted to be non ele..Why did u Take Ele mastery??....if u got to Be non ele..Then Dnt take Ele mastery bro... ...!!


2) Nw bout the lvl 1 thngy..ok i got ur Confusion Nw..So hw bout dis...Dis is wat ive been doing when i was a lvl 1 nab.....!!!
See...if u dnt hav Uni rings...At lvl 1 After a Rb....Giv 300 points in Hp n Mp each..Means 300 points in hp bar and 300 points in Mp bar....!!
Nw....go Gp and hunt till lvl 100...Ull be lvl 100 in no tym...just by Killing Olgocs...or Taun and Cynik....!!
At lvl 100...Do some calculations...Calculations bout hw much points to giv in hp bar...so dat at 160 lvl the bar becomes 4.5k-5k....in order for the ba to become 7-7.5k at aura 5....got me???.....To put it in an easier manner...ull also hav to notice dat hw much bar is increased Per lvl....then calculate..hw many points to giv in hp bar..so dat it becomes 4.5k-5k at 160 lvl..Dex 600+...sm in Mana....And rest in attck..If u need to know xactly hw much in mana...Dnt wrry bout that..Once ur aura5...use sm lores..and make Mana bar 5k.....!!!


3) Take Merc Rb's as soon as posible ..!!


4) Most probably u gotta make a mestro char..or a char wid nice relations..one option is....Make a Mestro char..Buy Sarghis from The npc Damurr..at 800mill..Sell it on server..at 700mill...When sm1 needs it..Buying sarghis makes ur relations IMBA wid Damurr...Hez the Armory in Hatrel...!!
So..either do that..or if u wanna reload widout a maestro char..reload wid ne char..but that char shuld nt be an Enchanter..coz the enchanter passives *XXXXXX* ur Crafting Rate ...!!

5) Hmmm....bout ur Passives...There is no negative in Resetting ur Passives...But...100k lores are required...and the decision u need to make is dat...If u reset ur passives at dis stage..ur Enchanter passive will also be resetted..so..900mill in waste...waise toh...Wz are nt a concern on dis server...but it pinches..Atleast to me.....!!
But..uve already fked up the passives !!...u shuldnt hav taken both masteries...Abe mereko Pm karleta ek baar..nOoob...!!!
And i never said Robust is Useless...But on a rebirth server..its of nt dat much concern ...!!

Hope dis all also helps u...!!
As Far as ur ty is Concerned..NETYM ^ ^!!
Ne More Queries...Feel free to post !!
Till then Ciaos!!!

He he..no problem bro..Netym ...!!..i can Atleast Pass on my Knowledge to new players joining the Server...Thats the least i can do to help u guys..so dat u ppl dnt repeat the same mistakes i Did ...!!

Hmm...now for ur Archers...See,,,Archers wid Normal G9 weapons are not a threat.....But Archers Wid dat G8 Uni Named Ghrasat are Deadliest....!!!
u know wat i thnk...GOD has made dat Uni to RAPE ..!!!
Ghrasat Ownz...!!
but ill tell u one thng....the skill named Hp Absorber Rawks ..!!
ill share my Experience wid u...I was Aura 5 at Rb 5...And my bar was 7.5k..!!
And Believe me...Zorphia Culdnt hav killed me Wid his Ghrasat And Larcs on him...!!!
I Survived His Ghrasat Hits..he was rb 11 Aura 5...!!
nw i dont know his Build..but his Attck is Nice....!!...it didint move my bar dat much....Of course i was on Hp absorber..Once my ABsorber was down ..i was a Free Kill...!!
So...To avoid these archers..Either Get a Dex...Coz Dex Ignores Crit Hits...or make ur bar Strong..U can Easily Sedi Away in frnt of Them..N they will get Irritated ...!!
So my Advice to u will be...make ur Hp Absorber SKill level 3..N get a Good Skill Duration on ur Gloves..Ull rawk !!

Thks oblivion u and eros are now officially my a3 gurus I hope u don't mind me adding u as frnd ingame
