Ok so Ukko's Fury is my new fav. toy.
Also Comet is kinda fun to play around with.
Gotta try out the new BLU moves tomorrow.

I just want to keep all these toys ; ;
Wish they'd added the real Empys and Relics to try out though.

Fast random stuff

sudden lunge really long stun, more than headbutt

pro5 + taco + harden shell + defender = 999+ def (and with 50 pdt- plus 15% DT- of Barrier Tusk is really yummie, replace with coocon with ja down is decent.

Heavy Strike don't improve with sneak attack ;_;

VV is more relevant of SS here: +50STR win 30% crit dmg+ (at least for 5 cast each tomorrow more testing)

sneak attack vanity dive doing more dmg than heavy strike (naked no atma)

300tp 6k Heavy Strike 300tp 8k sa vanity with corrispondet atma each, but really /thf now become pretty useless

spam heavy strike = :Q_

cdc + Heavy Strike...meh not see the the sc and IF form a sc, is a Distorsion i bet

/war is a decent sub now with 5% TA from spellset and 10% DA from sub, /thf lost a little ;_; , and for atma VV maybe take SS place at least for this early test.

need more then 60 points now <_<

Wanna windower ;_;

That's because it crits 100% of the time without SA. With proper atmas there's no reason it shouldn't be outperforming vanity dive.

It appears that Heavy Strike makes light with CDC, but something about the animation of the spell cuts off SC animations. Further testing needed but... a 772 heavy strike just sawed off way more HP than it should have.

IT++ spell, lights with chant and costs only 2 set points and 32 mp? And if I'm understanding you correctly it can light off a light?

I'm having a hard time believing that it is going to stay that good or that low on mp cost... Cause wow.

yeah at the start i really hope a dmgx4! but of course don't xD

Nah it's logical, Heavy Strike must be weak than a vanity or benthic with sneak attack. Tomorrow again test but max damage with VV RR apoc was Heavy 6k on EP raptor in aby ule, with SS RR apoc vanity 8k+
Maybe with VV RR SS..tomorrow test day °D°

Ppl that writing its sad that heavy strike is crit and can't be force crited with SA for more damage are morons... Crit spell every 15 sec instead of 60 and with w/e sub, how you can not see it's best spell we ever got?

yeah some weaponskills can double light or double darkness, would make sense but there is no triple light/dark
I know, I have chant and use it to do so. Just kinda curious how much this has been tested and if this was what was intended to be said. I suppose someone could test to be sure even without seeing the sc message with an MB and see if it bursts on all 4 light based elementals. Either way... if someone uses something I can light off with chant.. then I can CA Efflux Heavy strike and get a light off my own light. That'd be win.

Does Gudanna (Behemoth from Fields of Valor) use Thunderbolt? Thinking Thunderbolt will probably be the most annoying to learn if Gudanna doesn't use it. Probably just have to hang out in B.dominion for people to pop Behemoth.

Ransacked the newly affected GoV zones and only really noticed that only a couple zones have new monster spawns implemented at this point (Kuftal/Gustav). Gustav Tunnel has Pygmytoises if that helps.

Hm, this makes me wonder if they're adding little behemoths too. Although, I guess there were already plenty of small adamantoises to be had.

I thought /thf was still semi decent for BT. Am I wrong? I was never a fan of blu/thf even during the cannonball days though.

that's the point /thf was only an option just because of high spike nuke every 60 sec. Now you have it with any sub and every 15 sec >.>

Btw I tried HP set and atmas for fun (well my hp set on BLU sux) and White wind was curing for 2005. {Cure}{Do you need it?}
Btw it cures all ppl for 2005 regardless of their max HP

I know it's been mentioned here, but hadhayosh uses thunderbolt frequently, and it's not like it's hard to get a pop for him. Farm your TH sashes if you need them as well :|.

FoV Behemoth would be easiest but I don't know if it uses Thunderbolt. It uses certain moves depending on the game day. It may only use it on lightning day.

why whould you use SS over RR??' both give crit dmg + 30... yeah SS gives you HP but i prefer dex and crit rate boost for my other spells and cdc..

of course if you want a pure HS set i would go VV SS RR or VV SS <insert str atma here>

but im talking for normal stuff... since i have almace i was thinking of VV RR and apoc... yeah i could let go apoc and use something better but...

I think thats all they were asking, was pure HS set... and honestly if i could spam an auto crit for that kind of crazy dmg.. I'm not sure i'd melee a hell of a lot lol unless I was SCing with HS.

The beauty of Heavy strike it's MP cost allowing to spam it even w/o refresh atma.

Dude lol... Do I have to quote exactly what you yourself wrote?

I'll type it again for you as well: "what would it(?) be a good atma for HS?? VV and RR." Since you specifically named VV and RR, I assumed you were asking what a good 3rd atma to use for HS would be. The answer is SS.

Yeah... except the "they" is actually the same person misinterpreting his own post lol.
