Maple Story 2 Max Boss Dmg 2

MapleStory Screens, Videos and Forum. How much is too much boss damage? General MapleStory Forum Talk about MapleStory in general Trieuce Level 204 Mardia Zero Transcendent. I see a few youtubers with 3XX% boss dmg. If there is such thing as too much boss damage, what should be. Nov 26, 2018 MapleStory 2 Rep: 1,110. Only for starting and afterwards I would save cunning for blade dance for iframes and do everything else the same for max uptime. DPS for boss is around 811m per min depending on procs and other factors such as crit and whether or not i position correctly with mindbreaker (This is with +15/+11 with 10.6% piercing. Oct 22, 2018 Priests are one of the most popular Maplestory 2 Class because Priests can do damage, provide their allies with a variety of buffs and the most important part, heal them! Priests are much needed in end game content therefore if you want to be able to find groups easily just play a Priest.

Yes it's really good on sins, ideally you want to choose pierce+Crit dmg on accessories ( pendant, earrings, belt and cape) while boss damage on your armor ( hat, top, bot, shoes). If you can't get piercing on accessories opt for either ranged damage or boss damage.

What are the differences between % Damage and % Att? Which one is better to have?

In Reboot...%ATT is vastly superior to %Damage...I think %Damage is just overall bad though...It doesn't provide much benefit.

Why is that?

I think because %attack goes into your range...while %Damage is like...also into your range but only to a certain extent...I know in Reboto its cuz of the passive which gives you 100% damage by default...
Depends on your class, but overall Att % will always be better. Skills that use % of your damage like shadow partner seem to gain benefit of the dmg % but att% will still be better regardless. bonus dmg/ dmg % also hits a diminishing return cap, % att and final dmg will be superior.
different formula to put it simpler
att is multiplicative
dmg is additive

Oo ok I see

So does that mean kanna and demon avengar link skill are bad??

Not if you have % att on your potentials

But those links are % damage
the links are a bit different because they show up in your range. % total damage/damage from potential doesnt. % att still works with the numbers off the link skills but it also works with all the % att/ att stats in your equips. % damage is added after the final result of the formula.
If I'm correct the kanna and DA links are a flat boost. They add 25% of your total range, to your range.

Oh ok, I guess it should be named % att but its called % damage in description of the link ty!

it's named properly, if it were % att it'd multiply your total range by 25%, but since it just adds 25% of your range into your range, it's proper.

They're both additive on top of themselves and multiplicative with each other. Without any of either, adding say, 12% attack is the about the same as adding 12% damage, though % damage is applied after % attack, and % attack is applied to your attack and rounded down, so % attack could be slightly worse.
The reason % att is better is because it's much rarer. Many skills give a character % damage, including many passives, buffs, link skills, and all the Reinforce hyper skills for attack, which just give % damage for that particular skill. You're less likely to
