[quote="JACKELPUP"]Alex, I am not taking your comments in a negative manner - thank you for helping. I don't have 150str on Prowler and don't have anything close to 150int on Prowler or Jac. The reason I can't kill them is very simple ... I do not have a really fast weapon nor do I have enough strength or attack - so, it takes me a lot longer to kill just one than it does for characters that went str/int cap. Or characters fitted out with 00ber gear/accessories. Because it takes much longer to kill one, I get ass raped with magic attack while the little red line above it's head slowly makes its way down ... Jac [/quote]

[quote="DEIMOS"]When you're range one the magic attack barely kicks in Dsoma mags are same principal but have higher stats, yes my axer does a lot of.damage to them but he also has 84md, if you lure them toward you then run in at the right timing 80% of the time you can actually make range 1 without taking a hit [/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]I have my ass handed to me whilst I sit at range one trying to kill them bud. It might "barely" kick in if you can kill them quick enough .... low str characters without supersonic speed weapons cannot do that. I appreciate your comment though. If it "barely" kicks in, there would be no harm removing it? Jac[/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]For me w/ 5th spear and 811 recoil spear (=/), I can do them solo without potting most of the time but that again, is with 5th spear and I'm around 93 int. Could they be made slightly easier? Yes but again thought they were a group mob so always have just gone along with it. [/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]and you have a fast weapon and more STR Alex ... Fox, I don't have 93 INT. So far we have .... * Apparently I am the only person who cannot kill Magmas * Everyone else thinks there is no problem killing them * I have asked for range 1 magic attack to be removed * No one accepts this is necessary * I get wiped out by range 1 magic attack * I remain (apparently) the only one person who cannot kill magmas lol Thanks for your support guys.

[quote="FOXTRCK"]What stats do you have Jac and level?[/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]Fox, You know I love you man .... The stats won't make any difference. I will be told (by all and sundry) that I should ... blah blah blah. I only suggested range 1 magic attack be removed so that folk without 00ber INT, 00ober STR and 00ber gear could hunt them after level 100 - to bring balance. It isn't about "me" per se. 8) Jac [/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]I know where your coming from. Your simply saying, should all mobs be huntable by all builds (forgetting pure INT mobs). In the simplest of terms, yes. [/quote]

[quote="ISELIX"]Uhmmm, If your not going to tell people your stats we can't help you. I did notice you say that "i get my ass handed to me at range" If you have low int why are you fighting them at range? You need to close to the range-1 of the Magma. Only 1/10 of the attacks at range-1 will be a Magic Attack Also, You need to dump all your gear in the WH and take only the absolute minimum to Magma to carry as many potions as possible! Im not being funny, and you've claimed theres nothing wrong with your tactics... But your level 100+ your doing something wrong if your only killing 17.. on a good run.. [/quote]

[quote="DEIMOS"]Fair enough jack :) I dont eee much wrong Dsoma side, without range 1 magic, axe takes min dmg from mellee atack, now dodges near all melee attack and the inbetween classes have a balance of both, Maybe its hsoma mags needs looking at :) My only annoyance is whelps as i believe there should be a short delay before they explode giving range 1 chars a chance while still having to pay attention and react [/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]Iselix, Thank you for your comments. I get my ass handed to me with Range 1 magic (not at range) - sorry if I didn't post correctly. I know to stand right next to the Magmas. Also, I haven't said there is nothing wrong with my tactics. I said I have tried all different sorts of tactics (I have been following advice since they first appeared - lots of people make helpful suggestions). Sorry again if I mis-led you. Jac[/quote]

[quote="MINGEPIECE"]also theres only 1 guild on hsoma [/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]Jac you are redic, as far as having little int goes that was your choice. If you wanted to farm mags you should’ve set up your char to do that. Baring in mind you have two... Also like others have said you are either completely useless at soma or you’re doing something wrong which also wouldn’t surprise me. 451 is the fastest bow made in game btw, just for you’re records!![/quote]

[quote="AILWEP"]You have about 160 str on prowler, You're using a character with no str and no int and complaining they hurt, ridiculous Whack on some slow proc or cast slow and you'll get more but you're always going to struggle with low str and low int, [/quote]
