skill up

[kkcare]

I feel there should fix the skill up on pet for pup and skill up for smn. am been working on my skill up for weeks. you can be in abyssea or any other area working on skill up all day and not get any where evern week it's been 1 month and my axe is now 340 almost there.fighting all day i 1 place.and even getting skill up until like 10 mobs later.or tell me what am doing wrong

just a suggestion, but try some of the normal monsters outside Abyssea that they added in the 80-90+ range, especially during Martial master (although I can't remember any of those added in the original/zilart areas where MM is active). Regardless, i get great skill-ups at all levels outside Abyssea, regardless of area.

Of course, I'm not including parry, guard or shield, that's an entirely different proposition involving farming evasion/agility down gear, bringing a healer or something and basically gimping every defensive skill you have, then picking a fight with a mob of mobs and hoping not to die in the process. Honestly, would it be that hard to have some mechanic we can select in game (or an arena) where we can set the proc order for defensive skills so we can set evasion as the LAST to be checked?

They've been working well for me...but I've been "exploiting" the new DC rule too. You may be hittting targets too far out of your skill range. Check your skill in the skill caps chart on the wiki to see what character level that is, and then go find mobs that spawn as DC to that level and up. I get .3-.5 skillups that way and the levels come pretty quick. Once I hit ~85 caps, it's dominion time and they cap there just fine (for me at least).
