I see this is a charge spell, which can be interrupted while casting…yet I see cataphracts doing this in the middle of mobs? Am I missing something? The class intrigues me as I have found my monk underwhelming. Was considering building a character around swashbuckling/earth wave for grinding, but if it can be interrupted how effective is this? Thank you.
They use the skill from Swordsman 1 that makes skills castable even while being hit. Most get it to lvl3. Highly needed.
If you played RO its kinda like Endure.
I lvl my cataphract just like how you described.
No it cannot be interrupted, even without pain barrier. Trust me I’m a cataphract.
However, there are certain cases that your earthwave will fail, that is when you release it, your character raise the spear up, and just before the slam you get knocked back, then your skill will go into cooldown without any damage.
Some monsters microstun your character and cancel ANY action/animation you were doing, even auto attack. I know that Pawndels do it with their cyclone attacks, various scorpion monsters and chupacabras.
No, even mini-flinch effect does not cancel earthwave, only the one that knock you back + flinch at the same time can do that.
does earth wave can miss? pve /pvp?
if it miss on pvp how much dex is needed normally?
its not a gd cast time or a channel. Its a charge. Yes it can miss in pvp,
blockable and missable just go for mages who have no evasion
