Sin Downtime when Grinding?

[shahmat]

Is it that bad...I have the Ability to twink one out ( 36 Sorc ) and just curious....Is it bandage after every fight? Casters hard to deal with?

depents on how you play and what you grind.
when you dont use FE/AT constantly to avoid the right mob attacks you will have to reg after every single mob.

also you have to consider what you grind. mobs 1-3lvl below yourself should not force you to reg after each while mobs at the same or 1-2lvl above do.
if you have the kinah for potions you can grind nearly nonstop even higher mobs.

right now at lvl37 i grind lvl39 mobs and i use a potion after every second and a herbtreatment everytime i fail to dodge an special attack. that results in some downtime every 8-10minutes (5-10sec sitting and resting). of course i spent about 100k kinah every second day for new pots (would probably be every third or fourth da if i wouldnt grind abyss -> lots of gangs and pvp between grinding)

i hope that did help you a bit.

Just buy hot pots and eat them every 2nd mob, you'll never need to rest except for mana, which is maybe once every 20-25 mobs.

HOT pots keep you from having down time... the more crit the better... I am resting every 6 mobs one level higher mobs.

spam health/manapots and you will grind faster than anyone else without downtime, i speak from experience.

once you get aethertwisting caster mobs become pathetic

[lucifear]

considering as a templar i could go nonstop for several minutes, like half an hour, without pots, if i grinded stuff my lvl

sorc can grind higher stuff nonstop too if using manapots (not nearly as bad as using 1 every 2 mobs)

id say assasins downtime is kind of a big issue, i gave up on my glad, which was suposed to be my solo class, to play when my partner wasnt online, because i had to sit every few mobs if i didnt want to spend all the money i got in potions... it seems to be the same issue sins have, suposely it gets a hell of a lot better at high levels for both classes, but its a long way there

When it really counts, 40+, Assassin have basically no downtime. You should always carry pots and then you will slice through mobs 3-4 levels higher with no problems at all. At 46 im grinding level 49-50 mobs and i rarely have to stop.

Not more downtime than a ranger I would say. And it seems easier for a sin to grind than a sorc at higher levels.

I'm currently 45 and the only issue I have is manaproblems due to the fast attackspeed >< (+21% asp and flurry once its off CD)

I started grinding statues (mage mobs) in theomobos on lvl 48 and there I never have any downtime while grinding. I interrupt most of their casts and if they do manage to finish a spell then I always have FE/AT up I wont take the damage. I use normal attacks between my attack skills for extra damage so I can reduce the amount of skills I use and so reduce my mp cost. Since I don't have to worry about my hp I just take some mp pots and use them after every 10-15 mobs or so. I am basically spamming the same rotation (I have 2 rotations) over and over again without worrying bout my hp/mp or cooldowns ^_^ only bad thing is that it takes like 10 min to get to this spot :<
