I haven't tested it myself but it wouldn't make sense for them to stack with each other. I assume either only the highest Lv. 1 and highest Lv. 2 will apply, or what is more likely is that the most recent one will take priority, based on the icons that appear on the target.

It falls short in Glenn and I'd imagine the new dungeon coming out as well, as Arcana has superior bossing DPS, which is why I feel no need to invest into Scythe damage.

This is one more AS Theta clear, before the Astrologer update arrives and brings major DPS improvements. Since the last AS clear 4 months ago, I’ve upgraded my bow set, and optimized my build, so this clear will provide a better comparison to post Astrologer update clears. Gear improvements include (but are not limited to): Max 8 Holy Flamed Bow Mag 3 > Mag 4 Acc Resistance > Abominable Rabbit Ult Geas Circlet Heroic > Trajectory Sp Hyperion Outfit Midnight Butterfly Shadow Reaper Shoes > Fleeing Folach Catt Max 10 Skirmisher Shoes +5 Music Buff Effect from Harmonic Saint MK update Remembering to use Ladeca :) … along with other minmax details like swapping to GM archer, max amulet (still using Fate totem here), and replacing my blue echo with a Fury of Connous damage echo. With doll bags and cater, this adds up to almost 2200 base max, compared to the 1850 max in the previous clear. The gear difference and Magnum Shot Glyph actually let me hit a 300k Magnum Shot, which I never even imagined of, as I looked at my previous clear and never hit a 200k Magnum Shot. If I was better with debuffs towards the end I could have cleared in under 2 minutes, but that’s something the Astrologer update will help with naturally. Looking back I realized I could have also delayed the Bachram a tiny bit more for Tri-Assault reset, as I was doing this to activate the Magnum Glyph anyways. I was lucky with crits, but I didn’t have any huge crit reapers on Tri-Assault or Aqua Volley, so if I was luckier this might have been closer to 1 min 30 sec, so I’m pleased with the improvement since the last clear.

This was my first session playing day side as an EK, and was a public run. Unlike my giant that I want to be playing night side on (face tank everything while not having to worry about chill stacks), I decided to try day side on my human because I figured I’d need to be dodging attacks regardless of whether I got chill stacks or not. I only got high chill stacks during the Time Shift burst, where I swear only my pinky toe was in the red circle 😂 but I trusted my saints to heal me and made sure to continue DPSing while avoiding direct hits. I was prepared to use Vital Surge at the exact moment because the saints might have had to dodge the swipe immediately before, and the 30% phase was coming up, meaning there was a high chance that I wouldn’t be able to receive heals. Last 20% was a bit rough as the party wasn’t always on top of the boss, but that’s fine because letting players figure out what works (and doesn’t) is a big reason I like to do public runs :) Personally, I learned I can pull off day side EK with basically the same DPS and debuff uptime.

are you using support shot on offhand because if it was its own gear set the switching would be too slow? is that solved through ping? also wouldnt fighter combo be better than smash bash
@roalenag2 ай бұрын
@@andrewtran6654 I believe there is a forced delay implemented into the game to reduce server load, even KR players with low ping experience the same equip slot lag. My fighter gear is a bit lacking compared to my EK gear, so I’m not too confident about fighter until I make NB knuckles and get higher max.
@roalenag2 ай бұрын
TLDR: Support Shot comes with trade offs that ultimately put human EKs at a disadvantage to giants, even in 1v1 situations. While my human and giant have a few different race-independent gear pieces, they add up to around a 90 max difference in favor of my giant (even though my human has Creepy Haunted accs :D), conveniently providing a fair comparison to an endgame human and giant EK. For less minmaxed gear setups, the gap will be larger because humans have to drop either the Smash or Hyperion set effect. So before considering any set effect or skill multiplier difference, giants roughly get 4~5% more raw Max Damage. As I equipped the Bohemian Hat for the Support Shot enhancement (I'm using an offhand bow), I had to drop the Hyperion Hat with Critical Damage enhancement that was on my Giant. This basically shows that humans are at a 2 gear piece disadvantage compared to giants that can equip a shield and Hyperion hat or one-piece Skirmisher. The 55% vs 87% combo card is also in favor of the giant, but until the future debuff duration update arrives, it’s not a significant advantage in solo content because the combo card resets every time I debuff (failing at 4 makes it worse, failing at 5 makes it the same as the gold combo card). 4 Smashes happens to be the exact number of I’m able to do in between each Dynavolt in ideal situations so it’s easier to complete. Might of Ladeca is far more noticeable and along with the higher Smash multiplier and max damage, giants make up for the lack of Support Shot (which caps at 21.85% but is at 17.25% for most of this clear because of no Stormborne title and glyph). As for single target EK DPS, I think many players, including myself, thought humans would be better because of how Support Shot directly affects the arcana skills. However, on average, my human clear times are 30 seconds slower, even though my Giant can take 10 seconds longer to clear the zombie phase because it doesn’t have a Ruin staff. This clear is very difficult to reproduce because on top of having to play to the best of my ability, it was an incredibly lucky clear (fast zombie phase, a ton of Dynavolts crits, lack of incoming crits), but still only just matches my previous Giant clear which is easier to replicate. I had to restart many times because I was critted for 6k damage when Mana Shield was off, and just died from the next attack without being able to react, which would not happen as a Giant. In fact, I was one tick away from dying in this clear so this could have easily been a failed attempt :). This forces me to play cautiously and flawlessly. This would be fine if I could see higher damage numbers with Support Shot, but I was barely matching my giant's Dynavolt Smashes. The 3% from the Support Shot Glyph would probably make the difference noticeable. However, this level of minmax really only comes into play in endgame content, and after the Fahmes revamp, Theta is the only “solo” content (which is a stretch because it’s party content) where this difference matters. I expect a similar DPS advantage for giants in Glenn (again, party content that lets Giants take advantage of Support Shots) because there are a lot of incoming attacks that giants can face tank and greed instead for damage, like in Theta. So I’ve come to the conclusion that while using Support Shot is important because it is a huge increase in damage, it introduces a lot of problems. It affects the title and gear setup, and DPS uptime because it needs to be used every 9 seconds. Even though I’m using an offhand bow, I'm rooted in the spot for a split second longer, and I notice I start my DPS rotation slightly behind my giant, which feels clunky. Time Shift also becomes more awkward because Support Shot falls off before you’re able to get every Dynavolt off. To exaggerate a bit, putting the bow in an extra equip slot feels like an enforced 1000 ms ping spike every 10 seconds, which to me is near unplayable. This is time that can be otherwise used getting an additional Smash in. I feel the duration needs to be increased from 7 to around 30 seconds in the future. That being said, Giants deserve to be the best at Close Combat. As I'm encouraged to play in a different way on my human, I’d like to invest more into my fighter gear and see how it compares to the constant Smash and Bash spam, but that will be for another time.

@roalenag2 ай бұрын
All races can clear all content in the game with enough dedication, but giants get billions of gold worth of an advantage when it comes to gearing because of the shield and close combat advantages. A giant EK is probably as cheap as a DD when gearing up to a decent power level early on. The shield also means you have far more room for mistakes, and more space to greed for damage, so when combined with the fact that they do more damage in the first place, other races will not come close to matching giants unfortunately.

Make sure you turn on the Auto weapon slot conversion option in settings (it's off by default for some reason) so it auto switches when you use a skill. I have one of each stun pet hotkeyed, i.e Ctrl 3 sheep, Ctrl 4 tuan, Ctrl 5 jack for fast freezing, it's very easy to quickly desummon since that's on Ctrl ` which I can fast tap with two different fingers. I try to save the hotkeyed ones for when I'm in a difficult situation, since they are faster than clicking and I don't have many hotkeyed.

Like with most of my Theta videos, my intention with this one was to limit test 1v1 bossing dps (as an EK), so I did use a mage set for Meteoring the zombies. The Arcana specific gear restrictions I put in place were *roughly* handicapped in a way I felt fair, to my previous Druid staff clear. For example, the expensive Special Hyperion Armor was used in place of the Special Elemental Harmony Suit, while the Imperial Knight Gloves with 3 piece Smash set are pretty easy to obtain (as a Giant). The Hyperion set effect wasn't even up for most of the fight, so there would have been minimal difference if the cheaper Special Imperial Knight was equipped as well. Anyways, my play got sloppy towards the end because it's been a while since I've been in a longer run, but as always I forgot to use Might of Ladeca (...) which would have reduced my clear time to under 5 minutes. I guess I like making things harder for myself :^)
