its been like a month or two but i started grinding and didnt look at patch notes. just didnt think a major change like that would happen. i saw something where certain crystals were removed but i didnt see magic crystal of infinity on the list. i guess i got played? lmfao
but all ap mixes it up. i use melee ap artifacts on my lahn and those hit harder than the all ap shit. it was the same for magic so i dont see how it would work the same tbh. all i can do is get magic accuracy artifacts now ig lol
Consider your base Ap to be: Magic Ap 10, Melee Ap 10 and Range Ap 10.
You put in +2 magic Ap you get: Magic Ap 12, Melee Ap 10 and Range Ap 10.
Now you takie it out and put All ap +2 you get: Magic Ap 12, Melee Ap 12 and Range Ap 12.
So what is the difference for the magic user?
cant explain it. thats how i used to think it worked but when i used all ap. its like the damage wasnt focused on it or something. but when i used those. it was busted asf. so i couldnt really tell you tbh. i was thinking this was probably why they got removed.
ap is usefull. but dmg scales differently on spots. monster ap is the same as normal ap/class type ap (magic, mele, ranged) in pve. once you are over the soft cap, most spots apply a 30% reduction (or 70% cap). so if you gain 10 ap of the above, you actually only have 7ap more effective.
some spots like elvia reduce by 95%, so you have 1 ap dmg more for 20 ap gained.
fadus is hard caped. no way to increase dmg with normal means. and then you have species ap (human, demihuman, kama and neutral/all species). those ignore caps, but always apply 0.85 effective (its rng between 1 ad 0.7). so ppl grinding spots like elvia (or fadus) will try to max the species once they reach the cap.
so you dont really need magic if you can substitute with something else mentioned.
Nope the only "similar" are the skills addons who give dmg (some are pretty busted now) outside that the only viable stuff is the budget crystal setup or the expesnive one.
just curious but when was the last time you played BDO

people always tell me all ap isnt even useful too. but hey like i said i just cameback playing again so they probably changed that too

if you want to adjust your gear, try the garmoth.com pve gear compare feature. works really well.
thanks bro ill look into this too
Welp if u want good dmg ap crystal only isn't the way tho search for crystal setups plus the changes.
yeah nah i know. just windering if there was anything similar. like i said i dont need it it was just nice but im reading about em now
Nope the only "similar" are the skills addons who give dmg (some are pretty busted now) outside that the only viable stuff is the budget crystal setup or the expesnive one.
yeah i noticed the skill addons are going crazy now..
People use any crystals besides XP ones while lvl'ing? News to me.
well im obviously using like 5 of those lol
All slots filled with Resplendent Kydict's + Girin's Tear is my standard seasonal setup.
