The Adventurers of the Thick Skinned Paladin

Was quite a bad day yesterday and today.
Last night started off with ark. Normal ark…
For reasons unknown, my maple had the graphic glitch when there was a pop up from yoono… offed the notifications in the middle of battle but yeah…
This week i died two times in that… around 10min run ><
1st time was damage reflect… totally unexpected and really really hard to avoid from my experience with koc ark. Its like i'd see the reflect sign but then since i'm holding down the attack button its too late and i'd have already died...
2nd time was cos i was stuck in the 'jail' place for really long as the graphic glitch occurred during the jail… and just my luck, the moment i stepped out of jail into the middle of action the boss used his instant death skill…..zzzzzzzzzzz since i was stuck in the jail map for so long, divine shield was long gone and of cos i died. sighs. exp went from 6+% back down to 4+%...

Then we went to czak after midnight to helm 3 of my guildies/alliance mates.
Getting into czak was…… a bitch… 1st time round mich clicked the wrong stuff and missed… 2nd time in another cc and no luck either… 3rd time mich mega-ed and we knew when they were coming out but…. a pt already inside beat us to it. Again! All in all waited like really really long T.T Finally norm managed to get us in…
ah yes… the megas by mich and bunny! Grats mich on getting ur 1st lvl 200 char :)

1st round was pretty uneventful… 6 man pt in czak… well not that uneventful… right at the start of czak i suddenly realised that for all the time i spent waiting outside the door (actually i was playing swords n potions), i didn’t realise that i had no all cure pots with me zzzzz. I remembered to check for eye of fire this time, but forgot the ACP…. -.-''' since you don't need acp for ark runs i didn’t bring it earlier with me zzzz. Normy traded me 60… thankfully he didn’t trade me 50 or something cos…….. 2 helms dropped and i managed to loot the milks too… 6x milks :)

2nd round. Nightmare started right at the beginning when normy the pro evan with soul stone (aka free wheels) dced…. like right at the start! Right after mich echoed and before we even down a single arm…..
All was still ok albeit slower till like… b2… when law got pot lock and died. Some where in between Aoi also died… then mich and ryo also died, but had wheels… in b3 mich died like… idk how many times… each time SD and 1,1 she got hit by mobs and tombed T.T…. then at about… b3 40%? During the round of SD and 1,1 the other two survivors mich + ryoryo also died… and mich used up her last wheel……… and there left me! The 'pro' pala with the 'pro-est' damage in the world….

I wonder for a while if i shd just not waste time and get out…
But then i looked at my pots...
and realised i was using free untradable PE from events and drpq box, and free mp pots from the silent crusade quest. AND i didn’t have anything better to do...
of more concern however, was whether my luck will continue to hold during the seduce and whether the 32 acps will see me through...
But still, i was reluctant to just leave the map like this when i was sure i can down it… with so much time left on the clock after all - as long as the cap could last...
i only used 28 pot for like 1 and a half czak… but with my noob damage…

so i whacked and whacked… and survived SD after SD… even pot locks and 1,1s… most harrowing is when you can SDed and then two 1,1s in a row… that leaves me with a mere 800++ hp! If he lightning zaps or if a pillar falls on me I'd probably be done for… the pillar hits me like… 800++ damage and the lightning is like 1k+++ damage… -.-''' Even one 1,1 and a lightning leaves me with over 3k hp… still enough to survive like 2 attacks….
Lucky for me when i got the double 1,1 tho, mobs were surrounding me and protecting me - by dealing 1 damage to me per hit and giving me free invincibility… phew!
Ah yes… i realised that sanc no longer goes through super WD up like last time. Sad. And not only does it deal 1700% damage to bosses, but it seems that the 1700% damage applies to boss summons as well… i see numbers instead of the usual yellow bars when i sanc the zak summons. Opps i mean czak. Still, its a really useful skill in helping me keep the number of summons slightly in check.

and a final photo taking session with the background quality set back to high… its still a huge achievement for a noob like me after all - but one i don't wish to have to repeat.

Hp pots wise… i still used very little… 123 PEs thereabout for ark, and 2 rounds of czak! Well but the pot usage in ark is really low for me, since we have all the pro attackers and they down so fast… czak tho i wasted quite a few PEs… i see the 1,1 animation flash and pressed pot, but my pet didn’t fail me this time and potted as well so… wasted. Oh wells… i do need to use up my untradable PEs else i won't have use slot for pqing :X

Okays… way almost 4am… high time to sleep nite nite!
