Ice Splitter Uses Over Octopus

Notice how I never said Kents and DTs were the ONLY training spots. I trained @ Squids for some of lvl 8x and Ice Splitter was very useful there, especially at the bottom where the mobs were large. Vikings also has very large mobs. They're also rather wide so you're more likely to gun whack there.

As for the mini dungeons, you never know when. It could be next patch, it could be next year. It's better not to base your build around Nexon's schedule given how much they suck.

Also whenever the Mini-dungeon event rears its head (for good or evil depending on your view) Mini-dudgeon Newties will be unavailable.
