LOST ARK | New Surge Deathblade vs. Hard Akkan (All Gates) - All Cruel Fighter

I was by far most juiced dps in the group, It was very guaranteed that I get cruel fighter easily. But I decided to upload this because I'm still satisfied with what I've done, except two critical mistakes; Dying at very last moment of gate 2 (Trust me that was dumbass shit but normally I barely die there lol) and ruined atrophine strat at phase 4 because of my mana being run out for once :( couldn't even think about that until it happens
Beside of that. I think everything went clean.
00:00~09:00 Gate 1 - 27% Cruel Fighter
09:00~16:57 Gate 2 - 23% Cruel Fighter
16:57~29:43 Gate 3 - 25% Cruel Fighter

I was by far most juiced dps in the group, I had overall fine synergy as well so It was very guaranteed that I get cruel fighter easily. But I decided to upload this because I'm still satisfied with what I've done, except two critical mistakes; Dying at very last moment of gate 2 (Trust me that was dumbass shit but normally I barely die there lol) and ruined atrophine strat at phase 4 because of my mana being run out for once :( couldn't even think about that until it happens Beside of that.

What do you think about running Turning Slash instead of Earth Cleaver in fights where you don't need counter?

[@Crowoly]

Some people do that. It's very fine but I'm kinda lazy

[@cikuozzo]

Does the new maelstorm stacks or refresh, when you recast while the other one is still active?

[@Crowoly]

It refreshes.

[@tonyfantom3142]

how do you fill up your bubbles at the start of the raid if you dont get it from trash, do you use a stimulant for every pull?

[@Crowoly]

It's a bit tricky but you can make one bubble with spincutter, earth cleaver, wind cut and surprise attack. then procced to go into identity mode and make it 60 stacks with one bubble. it's very tight but at least you can easily make 40 stacks so you're refunded with full bubbles

[@Crowoly]

kzbin.inforqaqYmGJYFg This is one of examples. You also can shoot surge at 40 stacks and be refunded to have faster dps cycle

[@myst2212]

Hey I main a deathblade and I wanted to know: so you dont use soul absorber anymore, and you dont use void strike right? And is the dmg buff after patch that significant? I feel like i've hit a ceiling now on the before patch version where my surge would max hit 230m on a good day with a good support etc... obviously good gems and everything. So I just wanted your take on the new feeling of blade

[@Crowoly]

Surge doesn't use soul absorber and void strike any more. dmg buff is noticable because SG took down ap buff in artes states so that they gives more surge damage. What surge lacks right now is most likely crit.

[@ThuanTran-dr1oe]

Good skills. What are your engravings? Opinions on RE vs Surge?

[@Crowoly]

333331 Grudge KBW Adre Ambush Surge EP I rate RE slightly higher because it has better destruction and stagger. But I find Surge to be much more fun.

[@Ryuki116]

@@Crowoly why not CD instead of KBW?

[@monojhqm]

A good Surge player will always out perform RE in any scenario, however RE does have more utility.

[@monojhqm]

Some people don't like running that -25% healing debuff@@Ryuki116

[@Crowoly]

@@Ryuki116 Because KBW is slightly better after you got elixir option on helm. Btw I didn't choice CD because that's main reason. I wanted to have higher spec and kbw is just less major reason

[@Random4Fun]

in the upcoming balance, should i get used to not using dark axel ? i think its just too good Dark axel

[@Crowoly]

If you want to minmax your dps then it's better not to use dark axel. Anyway you can easily utilise spincutter to go to back of the enemy and you'll also have knockback immunity on turning slash. But I personally think dark axel build is still fine tho.

[@TheGosuBox]

Thoughts on running Sight Focus instead of Ether Predator on new surge?

[@Crowoly]

It's up to you.

[@ysoseriousdo561]

now the deathblade looks good again with this changes. feels so slow and stacks also so slow... i cant wait to get this to eu

[@fubugabi7340]

With crit elixir can work adren lv1 ?

[@Crowoly]

No, with crit elixir you hit 77% crit rate with adren 3.

[@Nickuzzz]

im still dropping my 1580db for a pala after patch, is just a pain to play here, the boss leave and u lost surge

[@dokebi8225]

whats your engravin?
