haha thanks for this link that should clarify a lot of stuff.

In the face....

Anyway; knockdown is especially annoying when you're playing as a mage and you cast meteor, -_-...

But actually, sending enemies into the air (knock up rather than knock down? Sounds odd...) is good if you want to kill them without risk of taking damage. I.E. I can juggle Gaikoz to death solo on Arme after one earth wave... Or on any other character with the help of a Lire.

Well you gotta open up and know that theres a lot of meaning as I said PVE in this case stands for Player Versus Enviroment. I've heard of Player Versus Enemy but in this case its enviroment as stated.

Isn't Earthquake activated with the UP arrow instead of the DOWN arrow? Or is it just me.
and yay for no-knockdowns~ (really, in every random room I get in, the monsters I'm fighting always gets knocked down >.>.)
Oh btw. maybe a bit of a stupid tip, but when running with Elesis (and Ronan probably too), when you want to attack a monster, jump first and then attack. That way you don't get a knock down... or is that a bad idea?

haha right my bad I'll change that now... havent played mage for so long too use to :P

not bad haha nice tip I'll add it later

I'll add/ update when I got more time ><

PVE Tips and Manner

Okay so that theres a patch I guess I'll write something that may be of some use to newbs who read the forum. Especially since they always do the wrong things and cause the dungeon to take longer.=.=

Guess in case for those who may ask PVE means "Player VS Enviroment"

Knight

Knights should use the 4- hit combo (z-z-z-z)

or 3 hit combo (z-z-z) easier to avoid "jump"

Dash attacks are avoided as they cause knock down

To avoid using dash attack wait 1 sec after dashing then attack or...

As Vpower suggested use a jump attack while dashing and a knockdown is prevented

Do not use the "up combo" unless you're sure you'll kill or to avoid an attack

Avoid using Megaslash as it knocks them down

Use Sonic Wave more after grouping mons

Use Air Spiral when 1 surface below the mobs or boss

Archer

Archer should fire only 4 shots and avoid shooting the last shot as it knocks down.

Dash Attack should be avoided as it is also knocksdown

Arrow Rain used below mobs are strong

Personal Preference of Big Shot at the back is more effective :P

Mage

Use Magic Circle against mob as its best attack, just be careful not to hit the mobs out of someone elses Special

Watch for "jumps" and use eathquake to avoid

Use earthquake (z-z-down) only when in threat as this knocksdown the mob

Keep shield (White magic 1mp) up at all times as it saves from time to time

Spell Knight

To avoid using dash attack wait 1 sec after dashing then attack or...

As Vpower suggested use a jump attack while dashing and a knockdown is prevented

Use Blast Bomb as it only uses two bars and sometimes regen quickly if it hits correctly

never use your double attack as it knocks down

Luntic Force on boss is better as it locks the place so you can deal additional damage and gain mp

Try to keep holy bless on your team

Avoid dash attacks

Theif

For theif try to avoid using the last hit of the dash attack

Dont use the double attack that launches the mob into the air as this is a knockdown

Dont use feather strike as it knocksdown unless using the invincibility time

Using the repetative z move is good, but watch when fighting enemies like mongan, Warrior Orc or Amon Guard as your delay is long

Fatal Attack (2nd Mp) and Final Strike should be saved to used on mobs

Fatal Attack only has a 50% chance to deal critical damage so its a risk

Use Kunai (up - up- hold down + z) when enemy is in super armour or like when a dark mage is in a cloud

Overall Manner

Try not to knock down in most situation

Do not like force people to heal they have their own choice

Do not steal Items from Alchemist as it takes 3 bars for them to make it

Pick up items if a person dies so it isnt wasted

When in a room if the host does not want you there leave and find another room

Let Alchemists and Mages to charge when in portal cause this uses the five seconds to get a bar of mp which could lead to Metoer and more Healing

Overall I skipped the second jobs cause I dont feel like writing it now and that I dont have much experience for now.

So this is most probably for people who have just started

Ummm please give comments as this is the first time writing a tip >.O

EDIT:Added Vpower's Suggestion
Added Theif Tips
