Arrow mage

I was wondering
If finale isn't affected by elements then why is mage arrow a thing? What can arrows offer me?

 

long ass low mp combos and fucking proration

 

Why would you want low mp combos if you can use impact>finale>ender then maximizer?
I mean, the only benefit i see here is the proration yes

 

Range. Long range ailments.

Also traps.

 

Sorry but what do you mean by traps?

 

Terribly implemented trap skills from the hunter tree better off not existing in the first place.

 

The +10% stability buff from paralysis shot could be useful if you put it at the beginning of your combo, but I don't know whether or not it would increase your dps much.

 

It's equal/faster than mp charge+maximizer and less prone to drop dps after getting interrupted because you won't need to charge mana.

 

Arrow mages can be great since you can use the standard ｛Impact → Finale(smite) →Ender｝ combo, then to make use of any leftover MP, you can use a low MP Finale combo using arm break. ｛Eg. Moeba Shot → Arm Break(save) → Impact(cons/swift) → Finale(smite) → Ender｝. That way you don’t have to charge as often, can prorate, and use your MP more efficiently.

 

Thank you everyone.

Would you know how much MP that second combo costs?

 

if u use cons for impact 400mp if swift 600mp

 

200 MP if impact uses consecutive, 400 MP if it uses swift.

Spoiler: Consecutive

Spoiler: Swift

 

Thanks guys ❤️
