Impact + Finale combo doesn't work!!!

(SOLVED)
I recently turned to Lvl. 150, wherein I learned Finale. The recommended combo my guildies told me is, "Impact + Finale (smite). They told me that Impact reduces MP cost. However, it doesn't work on me. The combo uses more than 1600 mp- 1800mp and it always fails whenever I use my DPS equip/build. I use Anniversary Staff or Spirit's Tear with Matk and Int +7% and Int +14. A Mozst Armor with Matk/ Int 7% and the Ring I use is Philosopher's Ring or Magic Talisman IV...But, I am forced to use Magicians Ring which reduces matk 25%. So my Matk- from 2.4k goes down to 1.8k. Do you have any ideas why my combo/impact doesn't reduce the mp cost? Thanks ^^

 

What kind of closer? Reflex? Bless? Or any?

 

Best choice is normally just Holy Fist with consecutive

 

Nice holy fist a close combat skill for a mage

 

Due to its close range, it won't activate most of the time if one keeps a distance.

 

My heart just skipped a beat. I thought smite didn't work.

 

Smite tag doubles the skills mp cost if you don't have another skill after it and this should be in Mage class section not new member intro. For example Magic Arrows>Finale(Smite) would cost 3300 mp and be unusable but Magic Arrows>Finale(Smite)>MP Charge would cost 1700 mp.

 

Use impact>finale(smite)>holy fist or any smite combo ender . If you use swift tag, no need a combo ender or end it with recharge tho I prefer to manually cast recharge instead of using it in a combo.

 

Thank you everyone, it works now

 

You can also get the lesser known skill, Kick from Hunter skills.
Kick has a knockback chance but animation is slower

 

Kick is a terrible choice because
> It's extremely out the way
> If it ever activates it's a full on waste of time

It's just better to grab HF because the user may use Bless or use idk any other skill that's faster

 

GSW will make you faster...faster...and faster...with every combo you will reach godspeed






Yea you will die in 1 hit, tho
