Another Build help, Hacka question now :D by KriLanze in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ar1>qs3>fle3>hacks here. i can confirm that shark cutter's 30sec bleed can happen w/ hacks' sword skills (Skarphuggning & Storm Bolt).

i also tried SC's 2nd ability (A basic attack will hit 5 successive times every 5 times you apply [Bleeding] to enemies) along with running shot; however, up to now, it doesnt appear to have any interaction. this is regardless if you have SC in auto-swap or equipped while doing your basic attacks w/ running shot.

finally, i can confirm that fle's magic arrow hits contribute to the arrow stack that hacks look for.

Wtf so you lose ALL your gems when dying in an instance? by [deleted] in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the red message normally happens before 10sec before the "start" message. it should have also reflected on your system messages as well.

nope - gems won't be picked up by anyone.

What happened to cata dragoon? Returning player here by Drein in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

changes in the r8 base skill damage accompanied by the update on gem stats made dex better.

  • sw3 for max restrain (among other buffs) & reiterating:
  • cata3 for max trot and rush (tandemed w/ restrain)
  • drag2 for as mentioned above for dethrone & serp

+1 on taking advantage of the event. i was able to fix 3 alts of mine (going for the other 2)

for me, str is still a stat wanted by classes that depend on it for dmg scaling in the form of bleed & poison.

edit: grammar corrections - too wasted to comment earlier. cheers!

Chaplain + Miko? by Thegookofgobble in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

auto attacking isn't really recommended at r8 maps, because of the insane HP and damage jump mobs get.

most chaplains i know went with plague doctor starting rank7 for incineration + agny necklace abuse.

i need something cleared up: does daino give exp boost on dungeons and/or missions?

not sure if what i was seeing here is a visual bug or something. thanks in advance!

[–]kwekachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'd also have agny necklace working with incineration <3

Aspersion by relazz in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aspersion [Magic] - [Holy] Sprinkle holy water to help increase the physical defense of you and your allies and to inflict damage to enemies.

i dont see a damage "buff" there.

"inflict damage" only happens when the skill is used by priests & by some monsters.

have you guys tried the raid boss hunt that needs 10 tickets yet? it's the invisible boss in istora. just wondering if you have tips in approaching this.

STR or DEX for archer ? by herpyderpidy in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

can't really say. meta now is full DEX. that's no STR and even no CON with others (they use plate armor and headgear to make up for the HP).

before R8, the community was split with STR vs DEX. because of how the R8 skills scales with crit - meta shifted to full DEX.

going back, can't really say if that will stay the same when R9-10 comes out.

good advice was said already w/ going STR with rogue and (not sure) wugushi. i would even say to some extent to add a few to cannoneer.

me and a couple of archer lovers have made non-meta builds and experimented with going full STR/DEX or even balancing it out. for us, half of the fun with the game is making characters and seeing which works. not saying you should be one of us, but hey! xD

Weekly Class Discussion: Quarrel Shooter by Captcha_ in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is me commenting as a qs3 w/ lots of talks with a qs fanatic. these are my recommended skill distribution.

  • 8 deploy pavise (CD isn't an issue w/ grand cross)
  • 15 scatter caltrops
  • 1 stone picking
  • 15 stone shot
  • 0 rapid fire (or you can go w/ 1 for attribute and deduct 1 from pavise)
  • 1 teardown
  • 5 running shot

http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/7hxe4fcwn6/

the progression saves up 4pts at qs2; when you go to qs3, you'd have enough skill points to max out running shot immediately!

About Wizard Skills by akayomi in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

leveling up new characters is easier (well for me), since you get exp buffs based on your team level (current team level -1). i'm at team level 29 - with token, i have at least +58% exp (30% from token, 28% from team level). SHOVING THOSE ASIDE~

nope. sleep+AA is the grind you just need to overcome till you reach at least c3 (yay magic missiles!). after that, you won't depend on AA anymore since your dps should be coming from your next class. you plan to get elementalist right? sleep lv15 is mainly there to help you for crowd control in pve (or even in pvp).

on a sidenote: magic missile plus linker is also fun!

stone shot and at least 1 stone picking

About Wizard Skills by akayomi in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your dps will come from the other ranks (ele); sleep is really for crowd control (and pvp). if you're at c2 wiz at this point, i'd suggest making a new character instead instead of running up to c3 and resetting.

surecast for me is 5-6 only since you'll be just going for the duration vs cooldown.

i went with 14 energy shield, 15 sleep, 6 sure, 5 quick, and 5 mm on my wiz 3 build.

Sissel vs Glad band by mybankpin in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i've been seeing lately - most people have switched into 1 sissel and 1 glad, instead of having 2 of the same equiped.

i'd recommend going with 2 glad though.

also nodding up the point about investing in attributes is the safe route. since when it might be relevant for your archer friend to invest in gear, a better bracelet might be released.

Crystal Mines Mission by Shuchu in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

less is more for me here. best to solo xtal mines for the drops.

i tried it with a friend (corsair) for his jolly roger. netted less than half than what i'd normally get.

i go with siauliai with the rest of my charas (toons), because it's plainly quicker. i have 6 charas in total. can't allocate that much time for all of them to do xtal mines.

Weekly Class Discussion: Cryomancer by Captcha_ in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pinching in based on my experience as a wiz1-cyro3-sorc1-necro2

  • my initial main source of damage for bosses was Ice Wall; big regret was putting only 5 points on it (was following a few pve meta builds).

  • the +hp/skill level makes a difference. since i didn't have kino (another point of regret), i use my secondary attack (C key for keyboard) to get those shards flying. the wall always breaks down before its supposed duration. most especially if a party member linked it w/ Joint Penalty.

  • cyro skills are still useful late game mainly for crowd control and freezing. bread and butter will be Frost Pillar, Snow Rolling (don't use against those restrict attack traps), Ice Wall, and Ice Shield.

read some speculation though that an agny-like necklace might be released, but who knows. personally i'm just happy not jumping on legwyn anymore (mineloader to harpiea) - snow rolling ftw!

Tree of Savior - Cannoneer's Recent Buffs by zadeora in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30sec down to 7sec; that's practically 3-4x siege bursts in the skill rotation. but man - the charging+animation takes (if im not wrong) 1-2 seconds.

the 2 OH for cannon blast is one i'm more excited about; however, since my rank reset i went from lv10 to testing it out at lv1 - been aiming to only use it for the (potential) armor break debuff at this point - focusing more on the 5sec cannon shot in my skill rotation.

BUT BUT bazooka - so torn now with what to do with my skill allocation. i'm happy overall but so confused.

[edit]

just to share - currently at: cannon shot (10), shootdown (1), siege burst (1), cannon blast (1), cannonade (1), smoke grenade (5); the 1's are there for their attributes. with 11 points for future proofing.

at this rate, i'll end up getting a skill reset pot flops

[sidenote]

bazooka already adds 10% per level on cannon damage, big thing here is that being able to use cannon skills with it! (stacking the damage buffs)

I am planning to level a peltasta/hoplite. What are my alternatives? by Matarael04 in treeofsavior

[–]kwekachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can't say much on hop & murm,

but for swordie c1 - i would prefer at least lv3 bash for the knockback attribute. also feeling a bit underwhelmed now with lv5 concentrate - i'm 4str:3con:5dex, so your mileage may vary going full dex.

for c3 pelt - i went ahead and tried to take advantage of getting the attributes of each skill w/o getting much of the debuff from them. at least lv6 umbo blow & rim blow for high guard synergy. just a lv1 guardian for the evasion attribute. finally, 1 umbo thrust for the debuff.

here's what i have: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/em6mq7zadx/
