Now my rocket and frost bolt all get to 1, I have some feelings about the master in FFXI Gil. First, I would like to talk about frost bolt. Its advantage is fast.
When upgrading, it is very useful for emergency or draw attention to monsters and make you earn ff11 gil. It can also be use as main attacking skill to play decent injuries (out of violence that is 200 +) when you meet with the monsters whose property is quite opposite to each other. And after you are familiar with the operation, you can beat the monsters without magic pd.
When you 1 vs. one solider, you will win of course and get much Cheap ffxi gil. For bow, if you can get to the attacking range before died, you can also win for about 80%. But about the master, you would win if you shot first.
But I still want to say that, you would win even if you meet the fire and it shot first, because the gap of speed between you is big. Then let us talk about fire. The advantage of it is the hurt is high. It is the only one which can get thousand in the magic at 3. And you will have unlimited fire to the monsters whose speed are slow.
The other advantage is it can beat fly monsters which the other magic do not have. It will be invincible until it meet the archers with high sensitivity, then you should buy gil. And in pk, rocket is the best weapon when sneak attacking, which can gave other huge damage just one shot.
However, the greatest enemy of the fire is the bow, because it set fire slowly, even you hit it once, but it does not die and get back, now the rocket would die even you cost much Gil.
