Hello.
I’m about to reach Dragoon C2, and i’m extremely curious to see how this is working out.
Does GaeBulg debuff adds extra hits to Deathrone?
Did somebody already tested it out?
Thanks o/
well dethrone adds 15% damage, the 15% damage increase is presented as a another fake multi hit
15% increased damage for dethrone is probably a lot.
Hm, never heard about that “fake” multi hit.
What is it?
So, yeah, 15% of Deathrone must be something to consider… Currently my GaeBulg is on lv 1, canceling the animation and picking up the spear gives me only 2 to 3 seconds of GaeBulg debuff, its enough to use Spear Lunge and Dragoon Tooth and half Serpentine. Depending on how well GaeBulg debuff interacts with Deathrone, i was considering to put it on higher levels to do a full combo of Spear Lunge, Serpentine, Deathrone and, if its give enough time, Dragon tooth.
Fake multi hit includes:
Seism
Earth Wave
many other skills
it appears to be multi hit but is really only “1” hit, they usually come with modifiers. Like Seism is 1.7x
to know if it’s a fake multi hit or not, try it on monsters or objects where you hit “1”, like training posts
Hm, you mean, the extra hits from these skills only does 1 damage hit, right?
So far i’ve tested with my own skills and it procs kinda weirdly with Stabbing, making it last almost twice its duration, Dragon Tooth and Serpentine also adds multiple hits, but none of them are just 1
I thought this fake hit thing was these additional hits being only visual and not dealing any damage
it just splits your damage into a few hits
Split?
So for instance, my hit is 1000, then it will split for, like, 2 hits of 500 each?
yes.
/20charactersss
Hm, does the split damage gets buffed by concentrate, gung ho, etc?
Nope, that’s why we call it “fake”
So, its not worth leveling gaebulg to use with deathrone? D:
It’s still a +15% damage buff. Plus, you get those minor buff attributes from level 5 Gae Bulg.
i wouldn’t get gae bolg to lvl 5 just for an additional 2 seconds and an attribute that adds 2% damage.
The point is, I think I’ll not be able to cast Spear Lunge - Serpentine then Deathrone in these measly 5 seconds, or roughly 3 or 2 and half seconds, if discounting the time to pick up the spear
Probably i’ll be able to cast both charges of Deathrone alone, but the whole debuffing combo on the target, i belive it will not be that good
My goal is to maximize my burst potential D:
The duration increases per level, though, so you have more time for the combo. Hell, you could dump 10 points and take it all the way to 10 seconds. Other than Dethrone, it’s not like any of your other skills get that much damage per point.
I see. Slygoat, can you confirm me if Dethrone have cancelpoints?
Perhaps if it has, I can do the whole Lunge-Serpentine-2x Dethrone with Gaebulg at lv 2 or 3, saving more points to other skills.
well, serpentine and dragontooth scale pretty damn well with spear lunge.
I don’t have a Dragoon2, so I couldn’t say.
Due to spear lunge, sure. But ask yourself whether +70 flat damage or whatever will increase it more than +15% from Gae Bulg.
gae bolg is unreliable, hard to hit, and it’s from range so by the time you pick up your spear and actually face the mobs you only have 2-3 seconds left.
