Reviving my awesome Viper

Monday, 22 August 2011 - Reviving my Viper

I revived my Viper today thanks to a lucky afternoon.

I bought and passed Demolition 20.

I passed Demolition 30 right after that.

I also passed Super Transform 20 right after that as well.

So all in all, I passed three essential books. But so much trouble - what for? Well, I wanted to go clock boss with my viper. But I realised I did not have enough dex to wear my knuckle. It was a pain to find and transfer all my necessary equipment because after quitting my Viper for a long time, my equipment was storaged and lent - scattered to the ends of the world, but in the end, I managed to get them.

There is a regret though - that I don't have enough dex so I cannot wear my 4 attack Witch Belt and instead have to use a black belt which is the version that adds 0 attack. That's bad. Lost about 200 damage range.

I transferred my pirate equipment and even some of my common DK equipment to make up for that.

My Viper was quite powerful. I was demotivated by the damage of a 6-mob mobbing skill called Dragon Strike. It deals 50k damage to 6 monsters. I was hoping for something higher, like 80k to 100k.

I had 39 SP. I maxed Super Transform from 1 to 20, and demolition from 10 to 30. I had 1 point in Speed Infusion (party skill) and Dragon Strike 30. I think that's it.

The moment I used Demolition, I was somewhat satisfied.

I killed papulatus twice and it was not enough. I was addicted to Demolition. It was a powerful skill. I spent no MP potions in there, and only spent 8 unagis on my second run due to carelessness.

This is a great improvement. Demolition takes off a very obvious amount of the boss' health when I used it. It is fantastic to see the HP of the boss go down like that.

I was so addicted to Demolition that I went with my BM friend to KREXEL !

With Sharp Eyes, it was even more fulfilling to see the red numbers. It reached 5 digits at some point when my Lucky Dice rolled a damage boost buff. Not even my Dark Knight, 30 levels higher, can do that with Crusher.

I think I am going to train my Viper to max out this other cool skill.

Pirate's Revenge.

At level 10, it gives me a 40% chance to activate a buff that makes me deal +15% damage for 45 seconds. It has a 50 second cooldown, so that means almost all the time, my damage would be permanently raised by 15%. That is A LOT and it is very worth for 10 SP - it just needs 10 SP to max.

I wanted to add MW, but at level 10, it only adds +5% STR, which is incomparable to Pirate's Revenge. It would require MW30 to match the power of maxed Pirate's Revenge.

I want to level 4 more times, and maybe with the remaining skill points added into MW to give an even greater strength boost to stack especially with the %str items from my DK.

I think I'm going to train my Viper the moment LHC gets its party bonus EXP fixed.

Viper / DK / Soul Master

I need to level them up. Especially my soul master, to get the 24WA boost for my other characters.

Today is quite a fun day. Oh and my pirate gained 20% just by going to KREXEL and CLOCK twice! (And krexel was with a party). That basically means that if I just online to go bossing for 5 days, I level up once - without even stepping into training maps. This is what the game should be about - bossing and earning both experience and money there haha. OH and, at krexel, I did not even use a SINGLE MP pot. I used HP potions because I panicked when I once got too close to the eye and I was paranoid of death.

Those bosses... They give me like 9.6m EXP total when solo-ed without any EXP multiplier. I need 44M EXP to level up. Vipers are seriously strong at bosses. I'm still hoping one day I can hit 5 digit damage with Dragon Strike, the mobbing skill, because 50k is not really pleasant. A good thing I won't be using this skill a lot at LHC. I want to reset those skill points into Pirate's Revenge and even MW9 would help at boss.
Man, my viper is a seriously cool character. Made purely for bossing purposes.
