Skill builds are done :)
Story
Luminous Guide is the second Magician Hero and the final addition in Legendary Hero class introduced in the second part of the Tempest Update. Luminous was previously known as a Mage of Light before he was corrupted by the Black Mage, transferring his evil powers into him. As of the other heroes besides Freud, he was frozen by the Black Mage.
(Hyper Skills) |
Storyline
The story starts off at the Temple of Time with Luminous making his way towards the Black Mage's chamber. Luminous meets up with Phantom, who calls him out on his tardiness and leaves. Afterwards, you meet Guwaru, one of the commanders of the Black Wings, who tries to destroy you. Before he could, he is killed by Magnus, another commander. Luminous attacks Magnus, all work to no avail. Magnus tells him that he is done with Maple World and leaves.
Luminous reaches Aran, who is injured facing off against the Black Mage's servants. She tells him that Freud and Mercedes are already fighting the Black Mage and that the injury held her up. He reaches the Black Mage's chamber, only to see Freud, Mercedes and the Demon Slayer already bested by the evil mage's powers. Freud tells him that the seals have been set up to capture the Black Mage and requires Luminous to activate it. Freud borrows the power of Rhinne to stop time temporarily for Luminous to activate the seals with no intervention. Luminous successfully activates the seal, but the Black Mage makes his attempt to breach it. Luminous goes and prevents him from doing so, but only to have the Black Mage to transfer his dark essence into the Mage of Light. The battle ends and the Black Mage is sealed. After the fight, Luminous is give one last quote:
We see Luminous lying unconscious on Ellinia. He is awakened by a little girl named Lania, who befriends him and spends time with him for years to come. Time passes and Lania has developed into a mature woman. One day, Lania askes Luminous to do some errands and believes the day is nice for a picnic. Luminous agrees to the notion, but before he can say goodbye, dark energy envelops Luminous and culminates into a large-scale explosion, that destroys the environment around and severly harms Lania. ALl of a sudden, he remembers what the Black Mage has told him and realizes that some of his powers was given to Luminous.
In Korean Maplestory, your player will have to choose between the path of light and dark. If you choose the light side, Luminous will restore everything he has destroyed and bring Lania back to health. If you choose the dark side, Luminous will leave the area and Lania in order to discover his newfound dark powers. In Global Maplestory, Luminous' story focuses mostly on the dark side.
Gameplay
Luminous can be considered to be one of the more unique classes in Maplestory. Asides from gameplay, Luminous is the first class that incorporates actual voice acting within gameplay. In Korean Maplestory, his storyline is also interactive, changing depending on which side that you take: Light or Dark. Choosing one of the sides will have an impact on his quests and his skills as well. However, in Maplestory Global, his story is melded together in one questline. Also, Luminous can have bonuses for both Light and Dark skills.
Upon second job, his gameplay takes a new twist. You are greeted with a gauge that measures the amount of light and dark is present. You will enter into a Light or Dark mode in which your skills respective to their side will be significantly stronger. The only way to get out of Light or Dark mode is to use the skills that responds to your current mode; If you are in Light mode, you use a Light skill and in Dark mode, you use a Dark skill. Apart from the damage increase, you will also enter into a special buff that will be a great asset to the player. Lastly, if you use a certain skill in its respective mode, the amount of hits the skill make is doubled, providing more power. Up to 3rd job, you will have the ability to balance your Light and Dark gauge into a state of Equlibrium, which will greatly increase both Light/Dark skills and Equilibrium skills itself.
In Global Maplestory, you can change which mode you are in with a skill and how much the gauge fills up does not alter any changes towards Luminous' modes in any way.
Luminous' weapon of choice are double edged magical weapons known as Shining Rods and his secondary weapon are Orbs. Higher level orbs can be bought and sold at various NPC markets.

[header]First Job Skill Build[/header] First Job:
You already have one sp for Abyssal Drop and Flash Shower when you advance at level 10.
10: +4 Dark Affinity (4) +1 Light Speed (1) 11: +1 Dark Affinity (Maxed) 12: +3 Standard Magic Guard (3) 13: +3 Standard Magic Guard (6) 14: +3 Standard Magic Guard (9) 15: +1 Standard Magic Guard (Max) +2 Mana Well (2) 16: +3 Mana Well (5) 17: +3 Mana Well (8) 18: +3 Mana Well (11) 19: +3 Mana Well (14) 20: +3 Mana Well (17) 21: +3 Mana Well (Max) 22: +3 Flash Shower / Abyssal Drop (4) 23: +3 Flash Shower / Abyssal Drop (7) 24: +3 Flash Shower / Abyssal Drop (Max) 25: +3 Flash Shower / Abyssal Drop (4) 26: +3 Flash Shower / Abyssal Drop (7) 27: +3 Flash Shower / Abyssal Drop (Max) 28: +3 Light Speed (4) 29: +3 Light Speed (7) 30: +3 Light Speed (Max)
Summary: Maxed all skills
Reasoning:
You want to get Dark Affinity first for the extra 5% magic atk increase. You add 1 point into Light Speed for extra mobility.
You max Standard Magic Guard for survivability purposes. You then max Mana Well for more mp. This means more health because your hp is basically your mp.
You max Flash Shower or Abyssal Drop in the order you like. This is based on your preference. Light speed is then maxed with the remaining SP. You cannot save SP. k

57: +3 Magic Booster (Max)
58: +3 Blinding Pillar (3)
59: +3 Blinding Pillar (6)
60: +3 Blinding Pillar (9)
Summary: All maxed except Blinding Pillar.
Explanation: At level 30, you have two new attacks automatically with 3 SP. We put the next 5 points into magic booster to make our attack speed faster. Faster attack = more damage = dead monsters = more exp = happy you. Spell mastery is maxed to increase our magic mastery and give us more damage. High Wisdom is maxed next to give us more int. More int = more damage. Black Blessing is maxed for a significant damage boost. Max which ever attacking skill you feel comfortable with (NOT BLINDING PILLAR). I like Sylvan Lance for some reason. Then we max Magic Booster to extend the booster time. Lastly, dump your points into the useless skill Blinding Pillar. All it does is push monsters away which makes it more time consuming to attack them all. [header]Third Job[/header]

Summary:
All skills are maxed.
Reasoning:
You add one point into Apocalypse, Reflection, Ender and Morning Star for brand new attacks! They replace your third job skills straight off the bat. You max magic mastery for another monstrous damage increase. Followed by magic mastery is darkness mastery which also increases the damage of death scythe and gives you more power in equilibrium mode. Arcane pitch is then maxed for some extra PDR and critical. The next part is your choice. What do you prefer, Apocalypse or Reflection? Then you max Dark Crescendo for damage stack, followed by Ender. Ender can 1 hit KO monsters and Dark Crescendo stacks damage. Now you max the attack that you didn't choose to max before. It's either Apocalypse or Reflection. Maple Warrior and Hero's Will follow. Morning Star is maxed last as it is the least effective skill.

[header]FAQ[/header]
[b]How Do I Choose The Light Or Dark Path?[/b] In GMS, you do not choose a path. You control both powers.
[b]If I'm in light mode, how come I can use dark skills?[/b] Luminous is designed so that you can utilize both skills. If you are in light mode and you use light skills, you gain a damage increase. You can still use dark skills, but you will not gain an advantage.
