MAP vs Melee!

Today, what I'll be talking about in my blog is one of the most interesting topics that players in the WYD world talk about. "What is better, MAP or Melee!?"

In the old days when the WYD world only had gods and mortals, people usually used melee characters for hunting bigger monsters and MAP characters for pking. Examples are Nature BMs which are the heaviest tankers of the game and MAP (Magic attack Power) characters like Magic Knights or Black Foemas were usually used for high damage pk.

If you know the basics of this game, MAP can definitely hit hard with huge damage! and can be seen as a threat to Melee players when going PKing. But now that there are celestial gods, players can boost their dexterity and HP way up high in order to evade the overwhelming powers of MAP spells more often.

Story Mode:

After a long walk through the snow, I ran across one of the greatest players in the history of WYD. He's known as one of the strongest melee TransKnights in the game and has truly dedicated himself to get stronger and stronger everyday. This player's name is cannibal

Luckily he was willing to share some of his experience when it comes to fighting MAP players. I asked him, "Do you hate fighting against MAP players?" and he stated, "No, they're what I love killing." So I asked him for some tips of how he takes down a Black Foema (Which is a Super heavy Damage MAP character). And here he shares his wisdom:

Thanked cannibal after that long while interview and he's definitely proud to be a Transknight Melee.

Then again... I did not just ask a melee player but also a MAP player. The person I asked is definitely one of the strongest MAP players in game. Named: JB-Devil (A.K.A. "Gossip Queen")
Here's her word of wisdom:

In the end, JB-Devil stated that Transknights suck which goes against what cannibal pretty much said in the first sections of my blog. This the reason why even today, choosing between MAP or Melee is a controversy.

From my opinion though, Melee players are the more analytical and tactful players. This is because MAP users would only rely on casting all the spells they can until the enemy is hit and dies. While Melee may do some manuevers in order to survive those hard MAP blows and at the same time use combinations of attacks in able to take down the beasty MAP characters.

Well that's my take of it. Choose whatever type of characters you'd like. No matter what you choose, it would be a fun adventure! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog about MAP vs Melee.

I thank cannibal and JB-Devil for participating in my blog. These two are great assets of this game and are truly good role models. They definitely are a good part of WYD team! =)

  1. wow ... nice nice.

    Ive learn so much in this post.

    Interesting, i never thought that we HT people are hard to beat by MAP when they go 1vs1 to MAP user. (as JB Devil mention earlier)

    I totally agree with besty, Melee people requires tactics and some maneuvers to make his attack more efficient. Normally i use in my Hunter Hit and Run then 1 hit K.O. Rapid hit. Tanking using HT is a big NO NO in my HT. Unless your a trade type. Just take advantage what your characters got ^^.I'm not a pro but i get this through experience.

  2. Yes, of course! But every character is good in melee agaisnt the black mages for a reason. HTs because of their high evasion, dangerous for a spell caster. Also, the black mage can't use pots agaisnt a battle foema, which also hit high. The BM would have incredible resistance, while still having nice dmg which would make him dangerous and hard to kill. And finally, the TK would just be an incredible tank, while still having nice attack power.

    Really nice post Besty.
