Impulsion

[Setsuna 0]

there is something wrong with this skill. Sometimes i can kill md1/2 mobs with 1 hit even though most of the time the damage is much lower (like only 1/20 of the monsters hp bar)

Comp got a real strange bug, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Something like Imp now, something huge damage, sometimes nothing.

In order for comp to work properly, it has to hit the monsters in the area. If it doesn't touch them, then the ABS it adds to your total, don't apply to the other monsters.

Not that, as I said it works sometimes, and doesn't work sometimes aswell

I've been gone for a few months, and during that time impulsion was almost universally seen as inferior to spark. But now with the % based changes, is there a point when impulsion will be stronger than spark for grinding? Should grinding mechs still use the traditional tank skill spec but use a 2h for impulsion?

L10 Spark does 350+4*Level damage average. L10 Impulsion does +50% on top of your regular damage. So if

350+4*Level < 3/4 * (Damage_Min + Damage_Max)

then Impulsion does more average damage per hit. For a L120 character, that would mean an average standard damage of about 550 for equal Spark and Impulsion damage. This is assuming that Impulsion actually works like it says on paper (which has been questioned) and that both skills attack at the same speed. Spark has the benefit of unlimited targets while Impulsion is limited to 15, but Impulsion can hit more targets if they are spread out over a larger area.

 

If you go for two-handed Impulsion to maximize your damage though, you miss out on the benefits of Spark Shield, which (at L10 Spark and Spark Shield) would hurt enemies at a rate of 483+5.52*Level per blocked attack (or 121+1.38*Level per attack if you have 25% block). Might be something to keep in mind as well before you switch to two-handed Impulsion.

Spark Shield is just better than nothing. It's not a big deal.
