Lv70 SAM and Parrying it to Lv75!

Going slowly…

I know I can do it! Leveling Parrying is like leveling Goldsmithing. It might seem impossible, but its so cool to see it rising little by little! Baby steps!

Since 62 (when I have parrying uncapped), I never partied again. I mean some people might argue sure, get 75 first then level it, but why not make use of this advantage such as lower evasion so parry can kick in more thus making it easier to level. I mean ok, lets say you can get 75 in 1hr, you still need to use like 750 hours after to level it. Well I can do it more fun :) Self exp, whenever I want, and also level parrying!

Well since you do spend a lot of time hitting IT mobs, there’s all the time you need to cap any weapon skills… but when Mai sam Level up… LOL

A bit of research on Seigan

I’ve been collecting data since 62 about how Seigan performs. Its in fact pretty interesting. Collected over 300+ Seigan duration and I found out…

Here’s SE’s description on Seigan [1], if you are still interested.
Look at one of the screenshot today :O! Wow :)

Birdy so got pwned :)

Mai’s Baby Samurai Plan

Planning to make a PvP Samurai. With sort of high parrying skill, I could evade a few attacks. If each merit lowers 3rd eye for 2 seconds, 5 upgrade would be 10 seconds, pulling down the cooldown timer to nearly the time that Seigan wears off. That means… Infinite blink!!

5 3rd Eye, 5 TP store (so I can do 6 hit setup TP off my enemy). Overwhelm! So when you are facing me, not only I am countering and parrying your stuff like a bitch, but I’m doing extra damage to you :)

Long way till Parrying finishes but… holding on!
