Maybe it won’t be so bad when I get to the cap. My problem right now is that, even with using the same cycle of attacks that you use, I run the risk of wiping myself out because it takes so long that my Ego gets chewed up. The only way to prevent that is to overuse avtr, which then eats up PP. Why is it that the only short-cycle Hacker attack is underpowered AND expensive in terms of PP?

As for jobs, I can’t complain too much, but I have yet to successfully complete a timed job, even in forums where I was able to kill each thread in one hit. Compared to other clbumes, it seems like Hacker attacks take longer to execute, if only by fractions of a second. This seems to be enough that I fail by 2-3 seconds every time I try.

exactly why I didn’t choose my alt to be a hacker. I’ve heard many people say that the hacker clbum is the biggest challenge clbum (excluding re-re’s and permanoobs) because of not being to upgrade processing power, and of the price to repair equipment.
