Is Spinning Slash a Good Farming Skill?

I've never seen a farmer using spinning slash, but it looks decent to me. Is there a reason no one uses it, and should I?

 

Farming skills need 2 things imo.
Huge range and multiple hit count.
And don't forget the damage because your pt will prefer character which can one hit.
That's why storm at low level and dive impact at high level is good.
Cf is also good but very map dependant.

 

Need to consider mp too. Mage and hb good because both has non attacking mp recoup.

 

When I was farming sea shells there was a guy with a ds farmer it worked pretty well, the issue is that’s it’s not common so getting a pt might be an issue but it’s range with it’s mp cost is ideal, you can always use war cry of struggle to recover mp, just like other halb farmers

 

It's really good in a small area like bubble angels and there's no need to ever recharge, just auto attack once with shukuchi and you get your 100mp back from spin slash. It can also be spammed very fast and the initial cast one shots pretty much any mob, it's actually the best and fastest farming method at bubble angel, I also use it farming cloth at heresy sometimes but the area and mobs there are a bit more spread out so storm with an md is ideal there, it's also great for farming wood at Ivy and beast mats at those sewer frog things, small areas and compact mobs good.

But sometimes you might get kicked from a party because it's not Meta and most people on toram are generally clueless and copy everyone else even if it's not the most efficient method.

 

Bubble angel was the place where I saw the ds farmer, I wonder if it was you. I was impressed he farmed faster than dive and more efficiently as well. But as you said range is an issue so you may need a second farmer for a wider area. Aside from ppl being clueless they are lazy so they won’t try new stuff or have multiple farm characters. I have 3 but I am working on an all rounder build that if successful will allow me to have 1 for any situation (correction it may just be 2 since I have another idea in mind xd).

Even though some won’t accept it others will, especially when they see what it’s capable of. So if u wanna try it feel free, you can always have storm learnt for low lv mobs in case ppl hate on us for using ds ther

 

4m hit radius... If this is good, so are arrow rain, shell break and other potato tier aoe skills as well. I would kick a DW any time from farming party unless there aren't better options around.

You have obviously never tried it or know how to make it work, but sure kick out of pure ignorance , you're the type of person i was referring to above, clueless.

The fact is in smaller areas with compact mobs it will farm faster than any other farmer and I have tested it myself.
But there's nothing wrong with dive impact and storm, they are good too especially in more spaced out areas, but at bubble Angel spinning slash is the fastest and most efficient method to farm, I made it specifically to farm summer shells and I wanted the fastest method.

Anyway you can keep kicking people and farming at a slower rate. Good luck

 

Keep in mind that’s pinning slash is 1mp while arrow rain is 5mp not to mention the animation is faster and dw AMPR makes recovering 1 mp look like a joke but you’re classic example of a person who feels that they know the game and are so arrogant that it blinds them. But I guess some youtuber have to make a vid for you to believe it, since everything on YouTube is true , smh lol.

 

Both of you assume I never tried spinning slash without even knowing me and say I'm the clueless/arrogant one... I don't even need argue about this...
Both bowgun and knuckle can use md to have access to maximizer, high mp isn't really a problem for them. They aren't used simple because they aren't efficient as mage/hb.
Farming is just a businesss, why pick suboptimal member when there are always decent farmers around? Just because they're cool dw users? Sure.

 

I agree it's a business, and so I choose spinning slash at certain spots because it's the fastest and most efficient method of farming. Mp isn't a problem at all to spinning slash if you build it correctly and know what you doing. I know halberd and storm are efficient I'm not disputing that but I am trying to educate you that at some farming spots spinning slash is more effective, even my dw with no luk get more mats per minute than luk mag and halberd.
Its not about looking cool, If I wanna look cool I'll go stand in the middle of hora and use saber aura so my swords glow and I pose like a cool person.

 

Wanna check if this is true? Both farm solo during 5 mins and we check who has highest material amount after time finish. I'll use mage/hb, you use dw. Map of your choice ofc, since your dw is "situational".

Sure lol. Problem is mage with md is very weak at higher level mobs, need elemental equipment.
Thankfully I have but still struggle to one shot mobs and my point is most people can't afford having an elemental md set. I've already tested and I'm uploading to YouTube rn to share to this chat since I can't share videos directly because of file size.
The results might surprise you xD
I don't dispute that mage is best in a bigger area along with halberd , but in a small area nothing beats spinning slash and I'll prove it to you once it's uploaded, taking forever though =.=

 

Nice, but where did you go?

Well, if one can't afford elemental md, mage includes staff as well. Staff's storm gets 50% more damage than MD's storm, with about 6m hit radius, which still is 50% more bigger than spinning slash. If still not enough damage, impact>storm(smite) can be used without any extra mp consumption. Not to mention mage isn't just storm. Entire storm skill line is useful for farming: Magic Wall, Blast, Burst and Finale, it's just a matter of "build it correctly and know what you're doing".

 

Staff is a small area so can't even compete and finale is out of equation if you competing against slin slash in a smaller area. I'm not disputing at all that mage is not a great farmer, I'm just tryna say that in some spots spin slash is the best and fastest.

 

Here I did a test at Bubble Angel with spinning slash vs elemtal md storm each 3 minutes. Do note my dw has no luk stat because I don't need it, I'll only reset when summer shells are back. But you will see even rare mats like the cloth and md at bubble Angel my non luk dw spinning slash wins and with luk it's nearly two times faster than mage with md at this area.

 

5.75m wider staff storm against 4m wider spinning slash
Am I the clueless one?

 

Yes even if staff one hits spinning slash will be on top because of it's speed and no requirement to charge and waste time. I mean my video my dw has no luk and it won against a mage with full luk even with the rarer mats like the cloth and mana.
Enough said. Hope I educated you.

 

You can charge during storm duration, like any normal mage.

I'll post my own video soon

 

Yep sure you can but as I have shown a non luk dw with spinning slash out farms a mage with storm with full luk so your previous comments about spinning slash being potato, people use it to look cool and you will kick people using it has been disproven. It's actually very viable, effecient and effective but ofcourse you can't admit you wrong. No point continuing here, ignorance can't be taught sometimes.
