    Unless you are a dw with high ampr, or a chakra brawler or a mage with maximizer or even a drug dependant. There is no way to fill up that mana tank back up.

    Coz this game is called DECOY ONLINE. You can not play it without having decoy.

    No idea, seems like a lot of skill points just for ampr.

    Because AMPR sucks without it. It's quite unfortunate for those who want to move with the boss instead of having the boss follow them to their decoy. It's a love/hate thing.

    That feeling when all your combos require you to constantly turn your light blue and/or green MP bars black, and every single time you'd ask yourself, "where'd all my MP go?"

    I don't use decoy, eat too much sp just for ampr boost and the skill itself is not mandatory for my 1hs dps char imho.

    If you love to switch the aggro from tank to you for spamming skills while ruining proration because of decoy's ridiculous ampr, go ahead.

    Decoy is not needed for any class except maybe bow users
    There are more than enough ampr resources for Blade type characters, and for mage characters.
    Knux have theirs
    Katana characters also have their fair buff.
    Halberds also have their active skill that regens mp.
    Bow characters are the ones that need it the most.

    The only reason one would want decoy shot is to allow for faster spamming of skills. When paired with dual wield, the ampr is just too good for some people to sacrifice. I personally feel decoy should not be allowed to be used for any class other than Bow and maybe halberds.

    Decoy should be bow/bowgun only. But that would also leave most classes stuck as Ampr and auto Atks are rather limited imo and often high Ampr comes at the cost of better gears.

    Halberd is the last weapon that should have decoy if they do intend to make it limited.
    Also martial skills have very poor ampr boosters, not as good as katana or blade thats the main reason people always like to pair it with md to get maximizer, resonance and all that.

    there are several reasons as to why :

    1- asuhoru bosses with close ranged fatal 1 hit anti ampr + spike traps.


    2- asuhoru bosses that constantly move alot that kills the hell out of your mp + auto attacks with constant interrupts and status effects


    3- seeing finale with mp charge + maximizer,bow with their op range shoot n run + decoy taking all ranks makes me feel like :
    "am gettin decoy too and show u how i beat yo mp cheatin aszes with my lit knuckle dps" and im quite sure pretty much thats how other close-range-dps feels too,unfairness with many disadvantages.


    4- level 4 skills mostly takes wayy too many mp especially for close ranged dps and they gave little method of recovering that involve charging at the boss with no protection to do so.


    5- because asuckbimbo.

    Chakra Ampr buff isn’t that powerful. Definitely not comparable to maximizer or dw double Ampr

    Chakra brawlers is the only ones that can create a legit 0mp spammable combo(as long as all of them hit of course lol) besides that, as @mayam stated above most knucks prefer md subs for maxi and resonance anyway.
