Qwertronic 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 Yes its 50% boost now if im not wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcellapb 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 I'm confused. 50% boost on what? The XXX-XXX are gone... so now it's based on the ms' normal damage? Me, for instance with bellun force have 894~1115 damage, so this skill will add 50% of that and hit 15 mobs? That's great, right? better than spark if I'm not mistaken. But I'm not sure.

Qwertronic 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 Its slower than spark though and only hits a static number of enemies. Might be a lot stronger though seeing that spark stays the same most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uok_vn 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 When it before (static dam), it don't have the same dame on all 15 mobs. Now, I not yet test. I see it good when SoD. But in train, I don't know because in exp maps have more than 15 mobs at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hide 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 tested in Sod just now. the range sometime doesn't work correctly, there were mobs next to me but it didnt transfer the lightning to them. the static dmg is a bit weird, sometime it does high dmg, but sometime very low. as if xx-xxxx dmg.

Qwertronic 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 Impulsion doesn't always target the closest enemy with lightning. The high and low damage could be due to the fact that some monsters are almost immune to lightning attacks, making Impulsion useless against those select few.

Qwertronic 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 Remember that Spark has infinite targets and Impulsion can only hit 15 targets and exp maps seem to spawn a lot more than 15 mobs at a time. Plus don't forget the lightning resistance of mobs. If MD and AD mobs take full damage from Impulsion then just maybe it might be useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcellapb 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2011 Hi, guys! Well, I tested this new build and loved it. Let me explain: when i was spark mech I HAD to have a pt in order to up. Now, solo in ad1 I can do more than 1% in ~15 min and i am 120. And when it cames to Sod where i usually did 2kk now i'm in the rank with almost 10kk. Moreover, I can be power and tanker, that is, up and hunt/pvp with the same build. For me, that's a significant change. And as this skill does not have delay, u can test it and see if u agree with me. I'll be impulsion 10 untill this change remains. Oh, and even though spark hits any number of enimies, when u are a higher lv, spark takes a lot to kill mobs; and impulsion kills 15 mobs very fast, in my opinion. Also, reading what u said i came up with a question: when it comes to resistence is the damage 100% normal + 50% lightning? Or 150% lightning (that is my normal damage + 50% lightning)? If u dont know I'll try to make some tests and figure it out. Hope I helpped. Thanks! Marcella. ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
