Although it is even more easier to train due to the release of certain maps, Normal zakum, horntail is no longer challenging as years back.Like for example,imagine a 6man zak(assuming all are 15x), can down it in..like less than 5minutes, when in the past, even a full 30man squad can take 1-2hours to take it down?(Solo-ing of zakum is more common recently)
Normal HT,in the past will need a full 30man squad to bring it down in 2hours.Now, only half the manpower can take it down in...like just 20mins??
Chaos Zakum Helmet now can cost up to 200-400m for unhelmeted ppl,if sold in shop,can be sold up to 1billion mesos (Oh wait, i've been hearing cases that more maplers are buying mesos just for the sake for godly weapons.I did'nt buy any as i almost spent all my money on my taiwan trip -.-).I got it for free thru a czak run,and believe me,if you think normal ht is hard enough, czak is going to be worse. Czak will conatantly drain your mp,dispel your buffs,use hp/mp 1 skill,zombify and seduce(1st 6ppl that entered the altar).Oh,watch out for pot lock!If you got this right after hp/mp 1,pray hard that you won't get hit by its magic attack or you will need to be revived,or use a wheel of fortune.(Note that all czak helms have hidden potentials)
Oh wait, mages and bishops are getting less common as more and more ppl are wanting to play battle mages..oh well,bandwagoning as usual.
