If those status effects would either not hit the entire player group, and/or didn't last so long, they'd feel a whole lot better imo, but then again I'm now stuck on the transition from medium to hard fights due to the raw number jump lol
go to the dificulty above hard and do the medium boss rush, its just medium dificulty but gives alot more experiance. I've got 400 - 1500 xp from it, it's what i did to move up to hard makes it very easy to get to lvl 50 which should be able to kill hard mode quite well. Though i did use AoE spam party.
I was using Orkillous, Dankur, Abzi and carlso. But i dropped Carlos, he's built like an assasin but with no damage so he ends up pretty useless. Really fast speed he can attack 2 times before the rest can attack once but even at lvl50 he's hitting about 400 meanwhile Dankur can hit everyone for 2000 it just isn't worth useing him.
I have Abzi, and I'm tempted to use him, but he and Lucifur have the same problem of being all fire-based when the Hard level enemies are resistant. That, and Abzi is just extreeemely not my type lmao. I think I got Carlos but haven't leveled him, didn't feel like he offered enough to be worth all that time/effort.
Medium boss rush is definitely helping I think, still feels like I'm climbing a cliff but now making actual progress again. I guess that's kind of how the progress goes here? Up up up, wall, up up up, wall... It can work.
