I suppose.. one step closer to my goal.<\/p>\n<p>Not shibby exp at all! Chain 4 for 313 exp.

I&#8217;ve tried to fight Mourouche and it proved SE was right :D in their wording at least. Each time you anticpicate an attack, the probability of it wearing off is recalculated or &#8220;re-randomed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming its 15% to wear off.<\/p>\n<p>If the attack is faster, than the system got to random and hope it doesn&#8217;t hit the &#8220;wear off&#8221; percentage. I guess this is to prevent people abusing SAM as a tank on any fast-attack rate mobs :O (In case its time-based).<\/p>\n<p>So I guess that average I got was for a monster that has an attack delay of 2400.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So is playing Samurai soloing from Lv.62 to Lv.73 boring so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kind of, since its 40k exp, if each mob gives roughly 100 exp, that&#8217;s a nice 400 mobs to level.<\/p>\n<p>Wanna see how a fight goes?<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/mCP_tXLX_Nw\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/mCP_tXLX_Nw\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>BUTTT, every 2hr I do have some fun :) Dinggg 73 (in the video)!<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vdytSlBuMEc\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vdytSlBuMEc\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy this Samurai reading!<\/p>\n<p>Enough talks today.
