Specials vs. Epic mobs

[Fleaba]

<DIV>I've read somewhere in the forums that if you get adept 3 or master versions of skills that will not work against epic mobs....they will work. Ummm you know what I'm trying to say. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Anyways, anyone here know for a fact that upgrading to adept 3 will make them usable??</DIV>

<DIV>it was true of some master 1s, but no longer. they added the doesnt effect epic mobs to the bottom now, permanately marking them off despite quality.</DIV>

<DIV>I am not sure about Master 1 spells, but I doubt the would be effective against epic mobs (assuming the adept-1 version is ineffective). Adept-3 spells are ineffective if the adept1 version is ineffective. Some comments: (to the best of my knowledge)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ART IMMUNITIES</DIV> <DIV>Crush Arts</DIV> <DIV>- Icy Talon</DIV> <DIV>- Flying Dragon (although DOT is heat based)</DIV> <DIV>- Charging Tiger</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Weapon type specific arts: (i.e. if you wield a mace, these arts will do crush damage)</DIV> <DIV>- Lunging Mongoose (wont effect epic mobs, although rapid swings will)</DIV> <DIV>- Silent Fist</DIV> <DIV>- Freezing Palm</DIV> <DIV>- Strikign Cobra</DIV> <DIV>- Waking Dragon (DOT is heat based)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Magic Damage:</DIV> <DIV>- Biting Mantis</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Heat Damage:</DIV> <DIV>- Diving Phoenix</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lightning Damage</DIV> <DIV>- Storming Hydra</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So if you fighting Borxx, Drayek, K'Dal, etc., (they are immune to crush) you are basically screwed since your 3-major arts are ineffective (Lunging Mongoose, Icy Talon, and Flying Dragon).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Jenjer</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Jenjer on <span class=date_text>05-25-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:57 AM</span>
