hey! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> my dryad is on level 22 right now, still stuck with lesser ice attacks, but that is good as currently i'm at the azunite desert with lots of fire-based attacking enemies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> anyway, if u regularly check with the mage vendor in the dryad town, at level 17, there's this earth ripple attack which should be good against multiple enemies. set items help quite a bit in that they boost your stats enough to boost your magic damage.

at what level of difficulty are u playing now? i am still on easy yet as nature mage, damage isn't as high as combat mage but thankfully the buffs help quite a bit (earth & wind embrace). so far i've yet to try out summoning. but my wolf pet has helped a lot (fed him mostly with rare items, maybe i'll also try set items). currently at juvenile level.

Ube, i thought the starting stats of dryad makes her more formidable as nature mage? as weapon master, i think other races (elf, human?) may do better.

& as for your pet, is it the blue wolf? if it's not, then get the quest from the pet seller then proceed to mage dude near to Taar.


Hi Janggut <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Spells I use: Ice Bolt, Encase (?), Earthen Embrace, Summon Raptor, and Heal (on auto spell). I tried Earth Ripple but didn't like it coz the damage is too low (it hits more monsters per attack, though). You don't really need summons. Just your buddies and a pet are enough to do the job. I use the raptor because it looks cute. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I just bought an ice elemental at the pet shop and it's still a baby. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> As for their food, I don't think it matters whether you feed them with rare, set or normal items. The most important thing is the item's price. The more expensive it is, the faster they grow. Btw, I'm still playing on easy, too. Still looking for more set items.

I think Ubereil is right about the Dryad being better suited as a ranger. The character class description also says so. But in the end it doesn't matter because you'll find better items and you'll grow so strong that your enemies (well, most of them) can't even lay a finger on you.
