Luminous skill build + other questions

If by that you mean the ability to heal 1% HP every attack 100% of the time vs half the time in KMS means GMS is f'ucked...

I didn't have a single potion hotkeyed nor did i go into storage for my tradeable "new character gear" until well into mushroom kingdom. I think by the time my luminous hit 70, i had used 2 sorcerer elixers. How is it possible magic guard gives people in KMS that much trouble?

I don't know if that ability is even in KMS, but if that is a difference between GMS and KMS that makes it that much more powerful (like the rest of the skills [340% damage per hit with Spectral Light? Really?]), then yeah... GMS is stupid.

Either way, I think it's based on damage. 1% of your damage going to HP and MP? If that's making you heal a crapload enough to not need potions, especially when Magic Guard is taking damage out of MP instead of HP, that means you're probably pretty god damn funded. As an unfunded guy, that 1% HP/MP heal is meaningless. Without even having touched Magic Guard on my Luminous on GMS, I don't heal for crap. I still use multiple potions per level.
