CujoEX's Ultimate Buffalo Guide

[CujoEX]

Berserker is good if you're PvPing or fighting bosses. If you're going to use it to train, it'll be a waste of MP. You can't control your character because Berserk is a phase where you lose your mind and go on a rampage. The reason why it's good is because of the damage it deals and the way the AI chooses it's nearby opponents with no hesitation. There was an old clip a friend showed me a while ago for jTO with a Buffalo vsing three Dragons that are slightly higher level and still winning with Pumping Heart and Berserk.

Initially I thought Berserk wasn't all that due to the lack of control. However Berserk is excellent for PVE in pretty much any mobby situation. As for it being a waste of MP, personally I don't find that, you won't be using it continously unless you happen to be the only one on a map that spawns large mob pockets.
Even then I find MP is considerably cheap.

4114 is more attk power and hp while 4123 is more attk power and less mp
im lvl 23 buffalo and im 4114... it has very little mp... i made a 4123 buffalo and at lvl 15 it had almost the same mp as my lvl 23 4114

if you mean is there a boss you can take in the 30's then yes. Master Mong and Tut are both pretty easy at lvl 50 but tut could probably kill you xD

You're pretty much wrong. If both builds go pure AP they'd both have the same base AP. 4114 and 4123 have the same exact amount of MP throughout the whole gaming experience. The only difference is 4123 has 2x as much weight and 4114 has about 1/3 more HP

[carlin]

must of been the equips or something

[CujoEX]

Each four digits represent Power, Magic, Sense, and Charm respectively. 4114 and 4123 share the same normal and skill damage as well as the same mana points (MP). 4123 is considered more offensive, though, because with the increased Sense, you'll have more LK. LK will increase your critical hit ratio as well as your blocking ratio. On a side note, LK will also help increase the chances of getting a better bonus from Mature Compounding. With Sense, you can also hold more weight (WT) and have a better sense in drilling (DA).

The only problem with having Sense is that it has a low cap. Even though you'll get a better critical hit and blocking ratio, both has a (rumor) cap of 60% execution. As for drilling, as long as you have 90 DA or over, your sense in drilling will be nearly perfect. As for WT, you could compound a LV 30 Premium Pocket Pouch and hold tons of items with it. Hence why people highly recommend a 4114 build instead, since HP, DP, and HV's cap is extremely hard to reach anyways.

which attacks are able to hit multiple enemies... im not really sure if ur mob build is really is really a mob build

[CujoEX]

The one that says *Recommended* Mob Build is the mob build. Lacerator can hit a line of enemies and somewhat behind your character from the direction you're pointing. Tidal Slash also hits a mob of enemies, but in a shorter range with bigger damage. Tidal Slash is also a prerequisite of another mob skill (third job) called River Sea Cutting.

[carlin]

i no im using that build but i dont see any mob attacks in that build except 2

and they are only in 2nd job

[carlin]

and they are only in 2nd job

ummm if at master lvl rave is 310% damagex2 wouddnt it be moore then shock/?plz explain cuz i like shock but if burning ave is betta....im lvl 20 and i can do do 870 damage with shock..im a 4141 build plz answer xD

[drisst]

is any1 gonna answer..lol

[Eise]

No need to double post so soon, someone will see your post sometime and help (CujoEX checks his thread pretty often =]).

And for those who think Burning Rave hits twice, it doesn't. In jTO, its name is Double Attack; not because it hits twice but because the animation shows two swings. There is only one set of damage. Just like Upper Smash (Triple Attack) which also only has one set of damage.

Burning Rave has a 2.1 multiplier at Master. Shockwave has a 3.0 multiplier. Shockwave is stronger.

but im kinda mad at myself because made a buffalo and it's lv 74..but
all the stats...are messed up and i had gotta some
unnecessary skills and try to master some of them..btw way
any suggestion on what skill i really need and what lvl should
put them. i really mostly want to save to,master Lacerator

And again Great guide

Declared attack Power is the attack power it states on the card.

Substantial attack power is the actual attack power. So burning rave is only 210% not 310% (even though the card says it's 310%).

Oh and Floyd:
Shockwave Mastered
Burning Rave Level 10
Pumping Heart Level 10
Bullseye Level 10
Knockdown
Lacerator Mastered
Piercing Strike Level 10
Tidal Slash Mastered
Pumping Heart Mastered
Shockvibe Mastered
Bullseye Mastered

That is probably the build I would go for, if I was a buffalo. A neat array of AoE skills and you get to stun, (imo Stun is better than Shockvibe, so I recommend you get Shockvibe later).
