Hi All,
I have been away from Iruna for nearly 2 years now. I stopped playing after the rebalance of skills and ninja SK got ruined lol
Some of you may remember me from back in the day (Levidane, LeviTank, LeviSin) can find me on YouTube as well. I am considering coming back to play.
I still have my Ninja (Lv 355) , Assassin (Lv 345) and Bishop (Lv 360).
I feel like i know little about the game now and will take me a while to get back into it, so hopefully someone can answer some questions for me.
Ah, welcome back. It's been a while.
1. What is the new Meta for farming bosses?
This question can be split into 2 categories: With-party or Solo.
With party, the meta should be leaning into Alch/HW, Geo monks/Snip, Serv or sometimes bishops, and the last can be usually a mins when bossing, or another dmg role when grinding.
I suppose the popular classes for solo would be, in alphabetical order: Alch, Ench, Monks, Snipa. These hold the most expensive equip prices in market as well, additionally.
2. What is the Meta for leveling (If not solo)?
Party area is good for both solo and pt kills. The mobs would be MG/3i/Yardes.
3. Any major changes i should know about (I know about relic although i don't understand it)?
Nothing too drastic, although there are quite a few UI changes that you'll appreciate.
A few additional dailies have been added in, like the Tower of Delusion.
You may want to look at some new equipment additions, such as BBQ or PM grenade.
Speaking on that topic, many old equips have been upgraded as well.
Think of relics as Al crystas, but with way less powerful effects. Still, it's beneficial for some effects unobtainable by AL such as Melee/Magic+%, Exp/Drop+%.
Instead of having slots to fill in like what we do with crystas or Als, we are given a 9x9 board: ideally is to fill it up as efficiently as we can. Like the famous game, Tetris.
The relic pieces we can get are randomized from 3blocks to 6 blocks through RNG.
4. From what I have seen looks like Enchanter is the highest DPS of any class. Is this correct? I love classes that are about maximum DPS.
Yes and No.
Yes if you're looking in the context of soloing. Enchanters top that list pretty easily, but required big funding.
No because I believe in terms of partying, monks are able to do 2m+ dmg on a frozen high lv mob, with geo. Caveat is that without a freezer, their dmg is crappy.
I will probably just main my Ninja and turn it to Magic Ninja as they still have high damage output. Assassin seems under whelming so no point continuing that and Bishop is always handy to have.
I suppose it would be from a role POV that you can decide if a class is useful to you or not.
Bishops are good for classic aoe materials farming (e.g prod mats), assassins do good quick solo kills in low tier bosses, m.ninja are able to handle higher tier boss kills and dish out good dmg alongside too.
