[Videos] Hybrid Full Dex DPS Dual (Lv.70) vs (Sand Mole Lv.50 & Roga Lv.62 Boss) ~by NineArts

it's sad that Dual Wields only have their Lv.2 Skills... a JP site mentioned that Lv.3 Skills will be released at Lv.90 cap, if it's true and if they also follow the pattern of 5 levels per month increase, then we might see the actual potential of this class by March 2016. (i pray that they will have good Lv.3 skill AOE, i really want to delete my mage farmer, i need that slot for future skill tests!)

so a [Lv.2 Skill: Twin Slash] damage is very small compared to Lv.3 Skills like Snipe and Magic Storm (also keep in mind the bad per stat conversion of 1h/dual; 1 dex = 2 atk, VS xbows and staffs/m.device of 1:4), this is her stats at the moment:



decided to go Full Dex because of skill damage calculations, will go maybe 50~50 -> Vit~(Str or Agi) once Dex value has been maxed.

this is my hybrid build to be released when Lv.3 skills are available, also, there is a way to remove the -90% def/mdef penalty of Reflex Lv.10 (no kidding, i did not showed it on the videos though, i don't know if it will be patched in the future), which may also be the core of this future hybrid build.

unfortunately, i haven't maxed her to Lv.75 yet and her equipments are still average so damage is a bit bad.

lastly, there is a better way to exploit the main breaker combo because it's slow (lacked skill points so it was not implemented), the one with Charging Slash at the end.


anyways, here are some damage tests:

vs Sand Mole Lv.50


vs Roga Lv.62 (Solo Mode)



A Few Points

• there is a bonus ampr with max Power Wave, or maybe because dual wields has better ampr? (i need someone to confirm)
• while you are doing combos and you get status effects such as Flinch, it will get cancelled.
  
• when poisoned, each auto attack ticks the poison damage, in the case of dual wields, the multiple auto attacks count as 1 auto attack (confirmed this with brawler as comparison, and my hp goes down the drain fast).
  
• Blue Gelatin can be your bestfriend at times

Thanks for your new build.
I building on this way too. But it some thing diffrent.
Dual wield normal atk is dangerous problem while action, it take much time and we can't run away from red zone. So new ranger skill from magic skill is so helpful for this build.
We will be ranger like bow but skill is melee, so I take sonic +10 to get close to the target.
( Sonic balde +10 maybe far at 14m, aoe skill and amazing that it alway crit strong skill without crit rate)
Charging slash is so good for this build too, but it will spend many skill point. I think sonic is good at all
Reflex +10 we will be evasion like phantom , and xtal that give most evasion is crimosch xtal +3 evasion, +3% evasion, +agi, but it will -9 crit rate.
-9 crit rate + 4 xtal = 36 crit rate. It a big problem, but for this build is nothing
we full dex, so atk will not so easy to miss. Just need get as high as damage possible ( remmeber that sonic blade alway crit at lvl10)

 

May I ask how to remove or alleviate the def or mdef penalty from using Reflex?

 

wouldn't changing the combo: spinning slash>hard hit>twin slash>charging slash to spinning slash>astute>twin slash>triple kick or spiral air be better for dps?
-spinning slash (the first hit) and twin slash are boosted by godspeed (they are the "certain skills")
-astute has higher damage and animation speed than astute plus crit buffs for rest of combo
-triple kick receive 50% more damage from with knuckles (like all knuckle skill except heavy smash which is 200-250%), but I assume it would still be pretty strong without them
-i think spiral air is stronger than charging slash

Or is it necessary to have a breaking and dps combo?

 

Based on how the skill tree is set up, TK / SA will both cost too much SP. 3rd tier skill will decide whether Dual swords will become a AOE warrior, investing too much into sword tree might contradict that purpose. We will have to hold out and see the end use for Dual swords then adjust accordingly, and settle with the little that we have for the time being.

 

i see. thx for the reply.

 

Why range? Is that the mage level 3 skill?

 

still waiting for Lv.3 skills, so i'm saving up SP for now.

1. because the 1 mp bar main breaking combo ends with Charging Slash, i want to let the target chase me while i regen my mp to 1 bar and i can use it again, if i fail on Flinch and the target casts an AOE, i will quickly get away.

2. during casting of red AOE zones, i can just run away from it and once the target is finished casting the AOE, i have already completed 1 mp bar (at most) because i am auto attacking at a distance to gain 1 mp bar quick, then i can cast the main breaking combo if i desire.

3. i like to build up my Damage Drop Off at a safe distance, did not opt for an Evasion build because it can only activate on non-magical attacks.

build will still change though, i'm still doing some tests, i deleted her and remaked another Dual Wield.

Is the Power Wave lv10? Or just leave it lv1

 

it depends on your preference, on the video i made it's at Lv.10, but it feels like an overkill, on my new build it will stay at Lv.6.
here's the ranges per level:

Lv.4~5: 7 meters
Lv.6~7: 8 meters
Lv.8~9: 9 meters
Lv.10: 10 meters

also, increasing it's level reduces the penalty of auto attack damage to non staff/m.device. Lv.10 = -50%.
on my build, i don't need auto attack damage, just proper range for me to keep away from AOE zones while building up my Damage Drop Off and recovering MP.

The Power Wave auto attacks and charge slash has tickled my Chuunibyou Spirit. Good Job xD

I can't help but just say "I feel the force" LOL

With all my hilarity out of the way, how much have you invested on Astute? Can you use trigger slash on this? I feel that would speed up things.

 

from the previous build i'm using on the video, it's maxed Astute, but i changed it on my current build.
i also tested adding Trigger Slash, it speed up Charging Slash animation by 40% (speed up not applicable with Cross Parry), however, i'm still waiting for Tier 3 skills so i won't be investing on that yet (currently 37 unused SP at Lv.75), if the Tier 3 skills are bad, i'll go with Trigger Slash powered Rampage build,

Charging Slash -> Tempest feels not right because the target is moving away from the hurricane and towards me, unless i use Sonic Blade to approach the target back, but the problem will be the lack of Combo Points (because i'm using a separate DPS combo which is shorter to reduce chances of being hit with AOE while doing long combos)

.

only next skill after Trigger Slash.. also as an addition, unfortunately, Swift combo tag on next skill cannot speed it further..
.

Can you list the skill you learn?
I might try this build.

TQ.

 

Did u used some potions on your video? Or thats a pure and true?

 

Vita Plus II
Mega Speed Potions

unfortunately, will be dropping the dual build i was planning to make.
