Edit: I forgot, my equip... Its v7 set with +3, but im saving to make it up to +8; 2 plugs +9; Sta ring +5/+6; Gore +3; LGStick +3 also (the priority is making the set +8 first :P). Also, I usually take a partner RM or leecher with me to lvl at Azria, if possible.
But the actual one, since im lvl 99, its a Shupon Set +3 (with +1 sta +6 int) with 2 plug+9, sta+5 and sta+6 rings and a gore+3. Now, if i train, i get the Kings, on azria, or Glaphans, but most likely will be on Azria. Does it make any difference on the attack with only +16%, anyway? Since i could put a Earthquake card and then 12% atk... :P
I'd just like to write a thank you post to ali for the great guide and helping me out with my build and stuff I need!
I got to lvl 105 and restated to STR Aoe build!
120 Sta and rest str! And im doing great! 4,5k Burst cracks and 3,2 Merk weaves! It's a bit hard getting used to the sequance with merk and burst but im getting the hang of it! Got to lvl 106 today!
And the best part is, Arena! No more easy RM killing! People get suprisied when they see me doing 1k+ melee dmg stunlocking them!
If you truly want to have fun with an RM, go STR Aoe!

Very nice guide, never noticed it until now... I never thought of using Attack, because I never really needed it, lol. Interesting to see that. And that Volcane spawn thing is really nice.
And also, Reiko, if you see this, I'd really like to understand how Prevention exactly works better, is there any way we could do something in-game? =o Maybe I ought to just PM. >_>

are like, str aoe RMs really expensive? or are they around the same price as merkaba only?
and if you go full stam, would solo be recommended? cuz many RMs have PMed me saying "wtf, aoe RM?! why not go knight, sorry but i think partying a knight or ele would give me more exp" or "wtf, aoe rm, nooob, sorry, i won't party you" and its hard to find a partner

That's weird, there's a huge amount of AoE RMs these days. Anyone who says that are just idiots and have no clue what they're talking about.
Full Stam isn't really expensive, all you need is a +8 28% DEF v7 105 Set, and any stick. The point of it is to solo, so yeah, you should solo. The thing about this build that SHOULD be appealing to people is that your supporter, literally, doesn't have to do any work. Except GT, and is that so hard? Lol...
STR RMs aren't really expensive, I'd say about the same as full STA, yeah, but full STA doesn't absolutely NEED the higher +'d equips and such. The thing about STR RMs though, is you're most likely going to need Healing, otherwise the constant switching to Stick to recast Prev will interrupt your AoEing, if you're AoEing like 20-25 or more mobs.

Why isnt this a pinned thread? D: I wanted to ask a question on here, but didn't wanna nerco it or anything, but now that its back on the first page I guess I'll ask lol..
Well, I'm going AoE soon and I either have the choice between a demol +10-+15 (or maybe higher. i dunno x_x), a plug+10-+15.. or a speedo+3.
People are telling me that I won't even need the speedo.. that defense/dmg increase>block.
(Also, if this helps, my aoe set has 21%hp, and 7% defense =X so maybe the plugs would be better..)
So, err, what would you rather use, Ali? D:
Edit: Hm.. I just read what you said on like page 6 or something to Long about plugs would be better than a speedo..
Can you explain why though? ._.

Plugs are better than a Speedo on RMs that only rely on Prevention, because the goal is to lower the damage to Prevention, YOU WANT them to hit you more so that Prevention will activate. Speedos just lessen the amount of hits you take, that has nothing to do with the ability for hits to hit your Prev line.
For example, you have 15,000 HP. You can take a 1500 damage hit with being able to rely on Prevention (just going to say this for all intense and purposes, as of now I'm not even 100% sure how Prev works, lol). Let's say you, with Speedos can get hit at maximum for 1700. No amount of Speedos will ever lower than to your Prev line. However, plugs will.

setup all you other gear and have each of your earrings. go to the mob and test it. first put a plug on. hit a mob and wait there for a good 5 minutes. watch how much damage you're taking. also watch the highest crit to see if it will cross prev. then take off the plug. see if there's a significant increase in the damage you take (20+ per normal hit). if there is then keep the plug. if there isn't it means your def is higher than the mob's atk rate and you hit the theoretical max for normal hits and its pretty safe to use demols. the plug will still help for crits on you. but usually that's only significant if you're a lot of levels below the monster.
basically just test it out. "def > atk > hp" like the guide says. if you can afford to you can take out those volcanoes for thunders. maybe add a little base sta to make up for the hp. that way you get more def from the sta and more atk from your suit and ultimately have a more efficient build.

Ali, I'm just wondering what spawn you consider to be the best in Volcane? I always leveled in that last spawn that has a path leading to it...
Also I finally got Master. 3 days from 7%-99.99%. >_< And on 2x exp it was still pretty hard. >_> But, it was probably harder for me because I'm stubborn and wanna stay full STA, and leveled from 117-121 in Volcane, as full STA, lol.
And, I think this topic should really be stickied. A lot of people ask for advice on AoE RMs, this could help all those topics a lot.

Mm, I don't plan on using Amps through master whatsoever. And... I gotta think of a nice STR/STA build for Volcane if I'm gonna do that. Full STA isn't gonna cut it even close as 118+ Master.
I never really looked into the STR/STA builds...so what's a good balance? =o
