Dive Impact damage is...

moeba, smoke(save), reflex(swift), warcry(cons), magic impact(cons), dive impact(smite), quick aura(swift), strike stab(smite), filler(cons)

fast setup from far away then lets you close in and burst dmg whenever you want

 

Do i need an arrow to use smokedust?

Is this combo viable?
Impact>dive impact(smite)>meikyo(cons)>s. Stab(smite)>smash(cons)

I cant test this because i only have 5mp.

 

Mekyo is kind of s fast skill, do you'd probably hit with strike before the second dive attack even hits.

 

Put something else before stab, so that it doesnt get deduction from the previous Dive Impact (smite)

SMITE increses damage for the skill and lowers damage greaatly for the next skill

 

Heres a combo i tried
moeba> smoke(save)>quick aura(swift)>para(cons)>impact(cons)>diveimpact(smite)>p-ray(swift)>ss(smite)>flashs(cons)
the dazzled thing happens b4 ss because of p-ray cast time... still testin but i couldnt get ss to 100k even with p-ray on metal stinger
still testing thou

The above dmg was with this combo
moeba> sneak(save)>warcry(cons)>impact(cons)>diveimpact(smite)>quick aura(swift)>ss(smite)>flashs(cons)
i ll try to try on different boss n ss my dmg C:

 

I almost reached 500k the gear is bad, but the 4mp combo worked well

 

In conclusion , Strike Stab is even more powerful than Dive Impact , Like any other AoE attacks , you can use dive impact for Mob farming and strike stab is specifically for Single Target (Boss fights mostly).
Strike Stab is Basically 20% stronger than Dive Impact but dive impact is super useful in miniboss like Oledon Machina with annoying mobs surrounding it

 

Not in combo?

 

Use ele halberd, but even then it's still depend on luck

 

Some of us arent that rich enough for an ele weapon But I understand it boosts damage as well (massively)

 

Same about that haha dw. But without ele and proper add gears it's near impossible to reach 100k damage so what I'm saying is don't work too hard trying to reach the super high damage some people post here. They have high end gear most of the time.

Edit: since I have earth ele halberd I manage to reach constant highest 70k damage on Big mask using dive impact.

 

I saw u at ms earlier lol XD with halb and i dont have elem halbs (pc stat) . From what i see was everytime it dazzled ms it activate gaurd n ss dmg too low 5k 6kx3. n also ss dmg increase without punish ray 0.o idk what caused it

 

Seriously People Should Know with Halberd , Punish Ray x2 Power was only on punish ray , not on the next skill , and of course Strike Stab increases damage by ailment and/or Whack battle skill procs

 

So why it lowered with punish ray? Like its okay its normal dmg without it but why lower dmg when used? It should be kinda same or rather increased buz of the magic proration isnt it? n also idk why but dazzled seem to lower ss dmg then increase it even if it is a status alinment ...maybe it just me being nub

 

It doesnt , Punish Ray at lvl10 just gives surefire crit on the next halberd skill you use and yes its magic prorate
All bosses has different strength and weakness , if we only use 1 strategy on all bosses then what's the fun in toram right ? xD

 

Yeah after a few trial, the result is better when dive impact and trike stab is not in one combo even with filler it's still make Sstab damage extremely low. So I make two separate combo for dive impact and another one for strike stab.
The damage is miles better.

About punish ray, it's only to guarantee crit AFAIK. But I use Crit halberd so p.ray is not really necessary. *shrug*

 

Try to fight boss roga at ultimate where your attacks graze a lot, actually most high tier boss you graze a lot

 

I'm pretty sure ur doing something wrong cuz it works

 

Maybe its better to do fast buffs/magic skills before dps so we dont really ruin the Proration too much for example (For dagger HB)
Spike Dart > Warcry Save > Flash Blast (lvl1) Cons> Reflex (lvl5) Cons (will kill you btw) > Impact Cons > Dive Smite > Meikyo Cons > Strike Stab Smite > Closer
But that's my opinion , I usually change reflex to something less risky but can be done in a range with no physical proration whatsoever or just leave reflex out of the combo and make Dive Impact to 130% damage and Strike Stab 150% damage

 

moeba, smoke(save), quick aura(swift), warcry(cons), dive impact(smite), magic impact(cons), strike stab(smite), filler(cons) = 1mp, 130% dive, 150% strike stab, good proration.

im now using this so i can start combo far away, approach when i want to land and burst. and with this combo, 2nd hit of dive impact hits before strike stab (dive 2nd hit applies the dazzle debuff) so you can be sure that strike stab does not graze.

i prefer this over snipe strike stab build
