Helll yesss! Magic claw rocks your socks!! ^(^.^)^

[flashrider]

Magic claw is far stronger than energy bolt...

[cosmeo3000]

Magic Claw is actually stronger than Energy Bolt when maxed.

Energy Bolt: 55 Basic Attack
Magic Claw: 40 Basic Attack TWICE. What people don't understand is TWICE meaning 2 times 40. Which means Claw gets 80 Basic Attack.

magic claw...im lvl 55 cleric

[takeshiz_]

lol am i the only one who said energy bolt? O_o
well i reckon it depends on ur 2nd job, where u wanna train, if u hack or not and whether ur funded or not

CLAW
====================
pros:
- more damage if ur funded and want to level faster
- owns king slime in PQ
- its a gods gift wen leveling lvl 31-35
- clerics only attack
- its wat makes mages fun and the pwnage in under level 30's
- kses other jobs and makes it harder to ks u

cons:
- if ur poor u dont wanna use claw on snails if u cant afford it
- burns mana like crazy wen botting (i wasted an average of 600-700k in mana elixirs a night botting on fire boars and wild boars)

BOLT
==========
Pros:
- u will wanna use this to bot or hack - ill explain later
- less mana consumption
- more stable

Cons:
- u wont ks as easily and u will get ksed cos u wont 1hit ko
- u wont own king slime
- if ur a cleric it wont knockback wraiths and such
- dont go thru walls (if u wanna vac and item vac and stand on the other side of a wall eg. chronos map)

lets say ur bolt does 250 damage average and ur claw does 200 and 200
if a monster has 500 hp u can kill it in 2 claws or 2-3 bolts
3 bolts = less mana than 2 claws

so bolt is better for botting for the non funded and claw is better for legits, clerics, rich or those who can afford

CLERIC - it wont matter much once u get into PQ's u will see no matter which u picked ur attk's are useless u just heal,
FIRE/POISON - if ur not maxing fire arrow first itll matter, if u are claw will help a lil during lvl 31-33
ICE/LIGHTNING - if ur maxing lightning first which u shudnt be then claw is a must, if u max ice first u can live with energy bolt

[+Raskal]

after lvl 35 i stopped using magic claw on my cleric, on my fire mage, and on my ice mage.. on my ice mage, at lvl 15 ice you should be able to one hit fire boars.. if you have a decent wand that is. i have a wizard wand +5 60% Oo.. but yeah.. on my cleric, i just pq'd and healed.. on my fire mage.. fire arrow = orbis tower pwnage.from 34-ish - 47

[+diamondpkm]

i believe magic claw is faster than energy bolt, and can be used faster...

[REDevilBeRRy]

Actualy if u check the real speed of magic claw and energy bolt,energy bolt was more faster then magic claw but u see magic claw more faster because magic claw does 2 times damage and while the damage happen,the delay of magic claw started.

[Robotkiller]

um... ain't it obvious??? magic claw..... but you have to choose energy bolt for a good skill build.

[xDeadSoul]

Would say it is Magic Claw
