Hybrid magicians - HP/INT

[Z00M]

Hello everyone, welcome to the land of possibilities. In collaboration with Xerta; we introduce to you the concept of being a hybrid HP/INT magician which falls under the odd-job class. Hoping to create a viable alternative that is still viable when grinding.

This post will cover:

Spoiler: What is a Hybrid HP/INT magician

" A magician with High base HP (to survive w/o MG) with a relatively minimal base INT (to enjoy your grinds). "

To what extent?

• AP Stats: will be assigned to the point where classes are still able to grind near their optimal capacity. eg: Cleric 1 Shot Coolies w SR / F/P no misses on Grims / I/L (on hold)
• Gear: will only be using pure int route gear to avoid gear stats requirement to equip. Black Bandana / Sauna robe / Snowshoes / Workglove / Any Cape / Any Earrings / Maple Lama or Red whip / HP or Speed Pet gear.

Spoiler: Pros & Cons

Spoiler: Pros

• MG not necessary
  
• Less MP pot burn
• Saves mesos

• Higher Survival
• It's either Inflated prices or theres nobody selling, no worries.

​

1 mesos per 1hp of pots VS 2 mesos per 1mp of pots
- HP potions costs is relatively similar to the HP gained from the potion
- However, that is not the case for MP pots

Elixirs are commonly used for:
1. Zakum Bossing Priest
2. C.Rog Priest
3. Mist Training at Vikings/MDT/Grims F/P

Alright, we back again on elixirs (50% hp and mp). Here we'll have to put up some assumptions of numbers for visual aid.
Assumption(s):

1. Zakum ready @ lvl 120 for mages. Through the past few 3rd job only servers, mages tend to only reach within lvls from 100 to 140, we'll take the Avg lvl range.
2. Pot prices
   1. Elixir @ 10,000 mesos ea - price range (10,000~12,000 mesos from drops)
   2. Cheese @ 4,500 mesos ea - price range (4,500~4,680 from NPC)
   3. Mana Elixir @ 620 mesos ea - price range (598~620~644 from NPC)
3. Heal @ lvl 30 (-24mp and recovers 300% of hp)
4. HB available:
   1. 3,000 Elixir (3k*10k mesos = 30m mesos) usage for a normal lvl120 Priest - for a 3hr zakum run. Back on Legends, usually a 30mins run w HB 60% MP increase would cost an unwashed Experienced lvl120 Priest 300~500 Elixirs. Taking the higher end; 500, 3000 pots.
   2. (4.5m+1.8m = 6.3m) Hybrid HP/INT Priest - for a similar 3hr zakum run.
      1. HP pots: 1,000~3,000 Cheese (3k*4.5k = 13.5m mesos). The reason why u even need to bring is just for incase for when ur eyes are sleeping @ seal & unable to avoid stuns and not being able to heal). By using 3,000 Cheese, you're acting as a normal priest as this is really the worst case scenario. Overtime this number shld go down to even 1,000 Cheese (1k*4.5k = 4.5m mesos) in the future shld you become a more experienced Priest. Since you'll be self healing on most parts of the run, this becomes a substantial save in mesos compared to bringing in 30m worth of pots above.
      2. MP pots: 3,000 Mana Elixir (3k*598 mesos = 1.8m mesos). This MP pots r just for u to cast ur support skills only since u wont be using MG. Reason why it's at 3,000 is to safeguard and let Priests spam as much mp pots they want during any point in zakum to feel safe. Arms stage shouldnt take up much since it doesnt 1/1 hp/mp you, but you'll have to watch out for the MP drain on 1 of the arms. With a gain of 300MP = 12 x heals can be done (rounded down 12.5 and did not consider MP recovery of approx 80+ every 10s). Which is a fair number of heals till the next pot.
      3. Lastly, I've yet to even factor in a 3,200 hp base for Hybrid Priest. Post HB, Total HP would be 5,120. When a 3.2k dmg is received, leftover hp would be 1,920 and after using Ice Cream Pop instead of Cheese (2k recovery and cheaper), we arrive at 3,920HP, ready to take ur own sweet time to heal/dispel with no fear of receiving another 3.2k dmg. This would most definitely save huge costs on the HP portion. Lower than 6.3M
5. No HB
   1. Almost never happens but heck, even without, this wouldnt be any more expensive for the Hybrid HP/INT Priest, standing at a solid 6.3m.

Spoiler: Grinding

Priest:
Heal - We're not really looking for Heal to be the 1 Hitter skill for Coolies atm as it's has quite an unstable dmg formula that hits extreme ends (Min and Max dmg). Sometimes on a normal priest, it may show results of ability to OHKO coolies with dmg way above the mob hp and times where 2~3 heals are necessary. Almost like the dmg gets lower as more mobs are affected by the heal.
However, in cases where priests r not able to survive in a pt (w/o HB and MG) at deep ludi, this build would fit you just right. Once u survive a hit this time, u can simply heal instead of using HP nor MP pots. Similar to Zak, where you'd be able to use Minimal pots ranging from Mana Elixir (+300mp) instead of Elixirs.
SR - Whether it's hitting >1 mob, the dmg is relatively stable as compared to heal. Thus for the time being we'll use SR as one of the anchor to consider to be a Hybrid HP/INT priests.

• Coolies (need at least 2HitKO using SR, can mix it up with SR+Heal+Tele combo)
• MDT (PT w minimal Fighting)
• Vikings (PT w minimal Fighting)
• Grims (PT w minimal Fighting)
• Newties (PT w minimal Fighting)

F/P:
Misting - dmg solely relies only on skill level with DOT in % of Monster's HP.
Eruption/Magic Claw - Finishing off hit when monster left with 1 Hp has to at least meet magic accuracy req to land a hit on monster. Here, we'll try to match it as close as possible so that the user will be able to grind as per usual like a typical mage. But on the other hand, achieve high hp base to master the act of turning MG off and solely relying on HP pots to survive hits and saving the need to use MP pots (especially Elixirs).

• MDT (Solo/PT)
• Vikings (Solo/PT)
• Grims (Solo/PT)
• Newties (Solo/PT)
