Holy crap, I had to blog this.
Just had to.
Wish I had a video.
Playing the Tera Online EU beta right now and I ended up getting a quest....it was 5person recommended quest to go kill a rather tough BAM (big ass monster).
Usually they exaggerate this fact, so I thought "what the hell" and went to find one to kill by myself.
First of all, it's huge. Fucking gigantic. Second, my combos did around 1% of its hp, if I could even pull the full thing off...and chances are I couldn't because it would maim me in an instant if I tried to soak a hit to finish a combo.
I have around 5.5k hp. This thing could hit 1k normally and crit for nearly 4k, and staggering it or knocking it down basically never happened.
Also you can hit things while they're knocked down. This counts for monsters too. So when this thing knocks me down for half my HP and then proceeds to try to jump its ass on top of me for likely 3/4 of my health...not having a good time.
To make the fight just THAT MUCH FUNNER, I accidentally hit my PVP-toggle hotkey instead of my potion one beside it, which sends you into PK mode for 60 seconds (or as I found out, 60 seconds of NOT BEING IN A FIGHT. So...the entire BAM fight was me in PVP constantly having to check over my shoulder for noobs.
I actually killed this fucking thing. It exploded in a shower of items and gave me 43k exp (that's 1/3 of what I needed to level up, which is crazy). I feel like a god.
I can't believe I did that. It was so god damn tough to fight since all of its moves had gigantic arcs, and it LOVED surprise-r*pe-crit-attacks. Pretty obvious why it was SUPPOSED to be a party fight, but screw parties.
It was funny too, every so often a person would wander over and just stand there, watching me fight this thing. I can't help but imagine they were thinking if they wanted to try and PK me.
But i'm also pretty sure they also thought "Yeah that guy would beat the shit out of me if he's strong enough to take that thing on solo."
/adrenaline rush
It looks smaller than it is since I didn't want to go stand beside it...because it would hurt me, a lot.
My Elin is about the size of its leg, if that.
Just had to.
