Ragnarok Online 2 Meditatio Explaination

Full link to his calculation
-Calculation

Quoted from his post :-

*As you can see from the spreadsheet
I only gain an additional 8% with lv 1 meditatio for my current hit rate of 97.37% --> This means the Crit heal will be 2.08x of non-crit heal instead of 2x

Looking forward, with 100% hit rate (not sure if its even attainable) --> A lv 1 meditatio will be 2.17x while at lv 5, it will give 2.25x

Having said that, this is only a test done based on lv 1 mediatio and my current set-up, so it may not be accurate
Also, there still seems to be a difference of 0.36% between the theorised and actual effect

Which part is confusing? The determination of the BASE Crit modifier? The testing of the Heal crit modifier with lv 1 Meditatio?

First thing first, THIS IS ONLY 1 TEST, so it MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. More testing is welcome, especially in the determination of the BASE Crit Modifier and Heal Crit Modifier (Without Meditatio)
Please post your findings here in a similar format so that it benefits all of us support priests

Having said that.... Firstly I determined what is the base crit modifier and MADE an assumption that this Crit modifier is the same for BOTH HEAL and Damage skill
After which, I compared this crit modifier with the heal crit modifier and REALISED that there seems to be a significant difference of which I believe is due to the Skill Meditatio.
Note: When I was testing out the Heal, I did not use any buff or activate Sacrament

So the results is as what i have presented in the spreadsheet

In other words...
Extrapolating it with a 100% Hit rate (IF ITS EVEN attainable...)
At Lv 1 Meditatio: You will get 2.17x of the Normal Non-crit Heal
At Lv 5 Meditatio: You will get 2.25x of the Normal Non-Crit Heal

My conclusion is that 4 points of investment in this skill is not WORTH the effect. Points are better spent else where like Sacrament, Sanctuary, Hell even a lv 1 DOT provides more Utility than a measly 0.08x more Crit heal amount


If you guys still have any question , please visit his thread and ask him politely ;)

Ragnarok Online 2 Baphomet Hardmode ( Kage Guild Guide )

Credit To xKirai

First of all, Congratulations on clearing the other three bosses.
Now, It's time for you to show what you've learn from the previous 3 fights.
- Blue Tornado from Blue Mino. Doesn't move but deals 1k - 2k damage if you're in it.
- Red Tornado from Red Mino. Moves slowly but quite irritating when it moves to raid.
- Bombers, Normally after Meteor(blue AoE) which spawns at the Off Tank aka GateKeeper for Blue Mino and Random spot for Red Mino.
- Breath, Red Ground AoE which Blue Mino performs Dance and Dragon Breath for Red Mino and Humba.
- Lots of moving, cordination and teamwork.

Baphomet Hardmode is all that you've experienced in the previous fights, However He does it a little differently.
Baphomet's Skills.

Phase 1
- SSJ4 Kamehame-HA aka Dragon Breath targets random party member and deals 4k - 5k without warning.
Whoever that is in line with the targeted player will also receive damage.
Spread evenly around the Battle ground to avoid sharing the Damage.(Every man for himself.)
Open your Map and visualize the Battle ground as a Clock.
Tanks at 12 to 2 o clock
sorc at 3 and 9 o clock
Priest at 11 and 5 o clock
Rest the remaining timeslot.

- Earth Crack that explodes if you stand too long on it. (10k damage on tanks)
Baphomet will also run to the Crack to make sure it's working perfectly fine.
Last 5sec, move out of it and get back to your original position.

- Curse Seal from Orochimaru which applies to the highest threat every 10sec - 15sec.
Each Cursed rewards the tanks with 500 Damage per tick(every 2sec) and a bonus 10% armor reduction.
Switch the tanks every 2 stacks.

- Genki Dama aka Meteor will be targeted to the Highest Threat and deals 10k.
Gather your people and share the pain, Damage will be shared equally to those who are inside.
Happens before or after phrase 2.


Phase 2

- Baphomet will use Goku's Instant Teleportation to the middle and sleep, uses Kuchiose No Jutsu which summons Red Mino(37k HP) and Blue Mino(37K HP) along with 3 Candles(Horongs/Flames).
Each Mino deals 1k damage to tanks, They can stunned.
Candles will be walking Baphomet to take the Gigai and transform into Infornos which have huge amount of Hp.

- You have 30-45sec before Baphomet returns to phrase 1, Clear all nonsense before he wakes up.

Phase 3 (around 25% Hp)

- Baphomet is about to give up, He pick up his latest iPhone 5 and calls 2 Kamikaze bombers to destroy everything.
Get Rangers to play catching, they be the police, you be the thief.

- Baphomet realise you look down on him, He calls his gang from the farm in China to destory you.
Summons 4 Scarecrow at 12, 3 ,6 and 9 o clock. Each Scarecrow summons 5-10 Baby Goat.

Gather in the middle and Gang-*oops* Baphomet before the Babygoats eat you live.
Best time to use all your cooldowns to show him who's boss.

Phase 4
- Baphomet realise his mistake, Apologize and give you a weapon with some Goody Bag.





Overall Strategy

Phase 1
Make sure Baphomet is always in the middle of the Battle ground(You need a skillful Tank to do this). Healer in party 1 are to heal members in party 1 only. Healer in party 2 are to heal members in party 2 only. This is because of the range. There is not Enrage Timer so take your time and DPS Baphomet.

Phase 2
Melee DPS the Minos, The Range DPS the Candles.

Phase 3
Make sure you burn him down before he burn you down.

Phase 4

Ragnarok Online 2 Arena Boss Guide ( Hard )

Credit To Delufyre

Standard: Most bosses at 1.05mil, 650k, 350k HP or around these health would summon their deadly AOE. Sorcerers and priests must cast at least 1 deluge and 1 sanctuary in order for the whole team to survive. Everybody should have at least 6.2k HP to at least survive these hits. These hit deals 6k at most without critical. (If it crits, no amount of max HP+ can survive)

1st boss Gearbaz:
o Summon gears adds. Same still.
o Has target AOE which targets someone in a big area. Deals about 2.5k~3k damage whoever is standing. (hit more with criticals)
o Zonal AOE - targets a very large area (half the map) and inflict painful damage up to 5.5k.
o Deadly AOE - whole map. Can be seen by having the blue AOE surrounding the outer circle of the arena.
Difficulty: 3/10

2nd boss Entarion:
o Summon the medic adds. Same adds still.
o Has target AOE too.
o Zonal AOE - 1/2 map
o Deadly AOE - full map
o Poison AOE - painful than normal. 2.5k damage.
Difficulty: 3.5/10

3rd boss Vadon twins:
o Summon adds. Same thing.
o Has target AOE.
o Zonal AOE - narrower AOE (covers about 25% of its targeted map.) However 2 brothers would be using it concurrently at times.
o Target AOE (for this boss, maybe it doesn't have. I can't remember)
o Red hot AOE/blue ice AOE - same. Damage higher than normal.

No Deadly AOE as far as I remember. Hardly/never use deluge in this boss.
Difficulty: 4/10

4th boss Xeno Spider:
This boss is somehow upped to a level in which it's going to be super hard and super random like baphomet hard. It will ENRAGE with 100% DAMAGE. So it hits you twice as pain as before. Advised to scatter for this boss, as sticking this boss can mean easy failure (see: Slam AOE)

o Slam AOE - Instantaneous, unpredictable or predictable AOE. Hits 4k without enrage. Hits 8k with enrage. Always the main reason why people die here is the slam. It hits randomly, hits the range, and your range party gets wiped out, badly.
o Target AOE - Stuns you. Eats your mana to zero. Hits about 4~6k. (if it criticals you)


o Adds summon - Repair bot/Self destruct bot the same adds.
o Zonal AOE - half the map.
o Deadly AOE - Boss animation/map circle shows it.
Difficulty 6.5/10

5th boss Driller:
This boss, contrary to popular belief, is actually more standardised and somewhat easier than Xeno Spider, if your party knows what to expect.

o Summon clusterload of adds: Same adds.
o Zonal AOE - Lesser AOE (25% of whole map)
o Summon Afanc repair monsters - Note: Don't use melee to lure. Range hit it only, otherwise if melee lure, invalid distance and you can't kill it anymore.
o Summon GIANT DRILLER - Summons around 350k-400k health. This giant driller 2HKOs range and gives the silence debuff to anyone who stands close to it. If the boss goes to 350k HP with this... goodbye to your party. He'll do the deadly AOE with your sorcerer and priest silenced. And slam, die.
o Target AOE - Pray you'll survive. 50-50 chance with dispersable damage (5k~6.5k usually)
o Deadly AOE - DELUGE+SANCT IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so = range party wipe. Deals 7k++ damage at least. The bosses before, people can somehow survive with very little health due to lesser damage dealt by boss.
Difficulty: 6/10

6th boss Pertus:

o Summon adds: Same thing as normal
o Target AOE - hits one person and stun one person, up to 6k damage if it criticals you)
o Deadly AOE - Frequency super higher than other boss. Can come out lots of AOE in 2minutes (around 3-4), irregardless of health %.
Difficulty: 4.5/10

7th boss Einjerhar:

Glitch it. In addition to normal mode, new skills
Sin will autokill anyone when his HP falls below 15%? Hits you 9k*6 damage if he manage to use that skill. Kill it quick.
Wizard will spam meteor storm to range usually, hitting 800*6 damage which is about close to 5k damage.
Priest's curse is increasingly annoying, hits near to 2.5k damage to one person per 2 seconds.
Knight is still the same.
Ranger is still the same.
Difficulty (glitch): 6/10
Difficulty (w/o glitch): 10/10. Try this.

Gearbaz: Necklace
Entrion: Necklace
Vadon X - Vadon Z: Shield/Quiver, Gloves Token, Ring*

Piani,Guitari,Vocali

Bosses Skills

Piani Skills

Cloud - This skill will hit the player standing at the furthest. Have one of your raid member stand at the back to attract cloud.
Stun shot - This skill will be used on any random target. So that person will need some quick heals.
Piani Beam (Red AOE) - This skill will always hit on the direction Piani is facing. Have your tank face it away from ranged position.
Piani Blast (Blue Circle AOE) - This skill will almost always hit you you will not have enough time to run. Have your Sorc/Priest Deluge/Sanc at that time.

Guitari Skills,

Bleeding - This skill has a bleeding effect that affects the entire team. Have diffrent Sorcs Land Recovery on melee and ranged at the same time it will control the bleeding damage.
Guitari Beam (Red Aoe)- Same as Piani Beam.
Guitari Blast (Blue circle Aoe) - Same as Piani Blast.

Vocali Skills,

Red lightning - This skill will be targeted at a random target and it's an AOE. Have a guy look out for his lighting mark him with a strategy mark and ask your raid members to move along with him. Tankers will get affected by this too.
Vocali Beam - Same as Piani beam but bigger.
Vocali Blast - Same as Paini Blast.

Piani, Guitari & Vocali each has their own buff when they're about 30% hp.

Paini - Hit rate increase 50%
Guitari - Atk power increase 30%
Vocali - 30% Def & Invic at times.


Positions and overview

Positions to stand at
Ranged targets should be standing near the river, Melee and tanks should be tanking inbetween Ranged targets & bosses spawning area. Which boss to take out first is up to you. I personally take out Piani,Vocali then Guitari.

Overview
Tanks - Face boss away from Ranged and avoid bosses skills.
Melee dps - Stay and move with tanks.
Off tanks - Kill off all adds ASAP.
Sorcs/priest - Deluge whenever boss uses their Blasts.
Ranged Dps - Help with adds then boss.

-------------------------------------------

2.Boss: Golden Robberbug

Golden Robberbug: 2.1m HP
Rage timer: 7-8 mins

Boss's Aura
Gold Aura, boss will be invicible during this period
Blue Aura, boss will be hitting random targets and increased speed.
Red Aura, boss will gain 100% atk power and reduced speed.

Boss's Skills

Poison Puddle - Boss will spawn 5 puddles of poison
White Tornado - Boss will summon tornadoes that move very slowly but does deadly damage.
Robberbug Beam - Boss will target a random target and hit everything in it's facing.
Robberbug Slam - Boss will jump/fly and slam into the ground dealing damage and it's unavoidable.
Theif wing ally- Boss will summon Theif wings every once in awhile.


How to counter bosses skills
Gold Robberbug Eggs, should be killed before going after Gold Robberbug.

Poison puddle, could be easily avoided if tank were to tank in the center of the entire room as poison puddles always spawns at the same spot.

Robberbug beam, will be easy to avoid if ranged targets stand no further than 3m behind tank. Avoid it by moving out of Beams AOE.

White Tornado, will be summoned on a random target so mark a player with a strategy mark before the fight and ask him/her to look out for white tornado then ask your raid members to follow and stick to the mark for synchronized teamwork.

Robberbug slam, is unavoidable so have your Sorcs/Priest Deluge/Sanc when he starts flying.

Theif Wings, should be kited by off tank. All dpses should focus their damage on Robberbug this includes Sorcs as Robberbug don't deal much damage.

Red aura, should be kited by main tank

Gold aura, is to be waited out.

----------------------------------------------

3.Boss : Mini Mongi

Ragnarok Online 2 Wizard Build Guide

Introduction

The wizard is a very BORING class. Movement is almost non existent, and most of the battles are fought with two keys: hot keys of fire bolt and fireball. The only area where it shines is it's flashiness. It's damage is lower than rogues, rangers, sorcerers,attack priests, but equals with the assassin. (In other words, lowest or 2nd lowest of dealers.) People know you exist because you jump around the map with teleport and survive random moments with ice wall. Most people (including me) play this character just because nobody plays it allowing free access to parties. You might ask, "If it's such a bad character, why do parties take wizards?" Well my friend, sorcerers and priests want the 10% int buff... and that's about all they ask you to do.

How to Max out Damage
*Fire Arms and Dragonology is a must at all times
Blast Arms - Fire Flower - (Fireball - Firebolt - Firebolt - repeat)
*Use Fire Flower whenever it fades and always recast Fire Arms after Blast Arms

DOT (Damage Over Time) damage (caused by Fireball, Fire Arms, Fire Flower) is where most of its damage comes from. However, DOT damage will be overwritten by any wizard who uses the same skill. When there are more than one wizard in the party, even the assassin will out-deal the Wizard, putting the Wizard just above the tank characters. (there should only be 1 wizard per party)

ie. When going against a boss, and the DOT effects of Fire Flower, Fireball, Fire Arms are damaging the boss, whoever uses Fire Flower will overwrite the Fire Flower DOT damage. (same with Fire Arms and Fireball)


For those that might have questions about why I didn't level skills that you might think are useful, here's a quick tip on why not.

Cold Bolt - This skill is used with lightning bolt and frost diver in the early levels, but it is outclassed by the fire bolt due to stacking of Fire Arms and Dragonology, even without the help of pyromaniac.

Frost Diver - This is also a skill used mainly in the beginning. However, being unable to freeze bosses, it is usually thrown away.

Water Arms - Due to DOT damage, water arms is not used. Additionally, 10% damage reduction is unnoticeable for wizards.

Frost Nova - Truthfully, this is a very useful skill, however it preforms very well even at level 1.

Ice Wall - 3 minutes is a long time to wait, especially in battle. However, 3 minutes is enough to use twice on a single boss. Anything other than 3 minutes is too long, and you might as well invest 1 in Ice Wall at that point. However, having no true survival skills other than this, it is necessary for you to invest 5 points in this skill.

Lightning Bolt - It is also like the cold bolt. It is very soon outclassed.

Firebolt to Dragonology should be self explanatory.

Pyromaniac - This is a skill often overlooked. It takes about 7-8 attacks to reach 100, which at that point, gives you a 10% cast boost. This might not seem to be a lot, and people tend to use fire explosion the second it reaches 100. Using this buff allows fast recasting of fire bolts, which in the end pays off more than fire explosion. (the users of this skill commented that "it's a skill that can only be felt by those who use it.")

Fire Explosion - This is (used to be) a VERY debated skill for all people. This does around 3000-3500 damage without critical hits and is seen as the wizards ultimate attack. However, even if pyromaniac was leveled up to 5 and Fire Explosion was too and Fire Explosion was used just before the 30 seconds were over every time, during the time Fire Explosion is being used, 2 fire bolts can be fired. Now the problem with Fire Explosion lies here. Each fire bolt at level 50 does around 1200 - 1500 damage with the right equipment. A single critical hit will do 2400-3000. Although the Fire Explosion does 3000-3500 damage, it is spread into multiple shots doing 600-700 damage. Unless all 5 hits of Fire Explosion ended up as critical hits (which VERY rarely happens) it does not outshine the fire bolt. As a matter of fact, even if one of the two fire bolts were to be a critical hit, it would outshine the fire explosion. Additionally while this is happening, pyromaniac would be filling up which is why many people invest points in other skills.

Inferno vs Meteor Storm
Inferno is a good skill, because it gives all the mobs a fire flower effect. Even at level 1, it gives the fire flower effect of the level of your fire flower. On the other hand, Meteor Storm is a skill that hits a targeted area, but is heavily affected by lag and also takes longer than fire flower. In the end, you do just about as much damage with either one. (even without lag) You should just pick one and only one because you're not there to take out only mobs when in raid dungeons. (gathering mobs is harder than throwing fire bolts one by one)
*It's also the sorcerers job to attack mobs with Lord of Vermilion, which also does double damage when the enemy is encased in ice, so hit fire flower, use frost nova, and get the hell away with teleport and let the sorcerers do their job.
