Is Skull Smasher still the best weapon for a Chap-Zealot?

What skill he is using after blind faith ??

Bokor’s Summon: Forced Attack

Unrelated, how does blind faith work? Is it like a magic concentrate or power ups the skill you use directly?

Blind faith takes half of the zealot’s current SP value and converts it to non-magic/non-physical holy damage. The damage at level 5 is as:

Consumed SP x[2.8] = additional attack
Maximum 40 attacks

If the zealot’s SP pool is 20k, it will consume 10k SP on cast, and give you 28k holy damage as additional hit for the next 40 hits the zealot does. That’s a 1.12 million damage burst on top of what he/she is attacking.

Hence most zealots will put SPR as one of their priority list for gears, even for STR based zealots it is good to gear for SPR just to capitalise on this skill. Since the skill takes SP pool as a gauge, skills and buffs that increase SP pool will also increase the potential damage of this skill, like:

  • Enchanter’s Empower
  • Oracle’s Arcane Energy (can purchase from pardoner/oracle scribe)
  • Squire’s SP food buff

What is your opinion about Skull Smasher though @Nekorin? Can it still be considered comparable to Masinios or Primus Raffye?

For an average +11 trans5 the differences between the maces , that’s around 300ish patk/matk difference at that anvil/trans level. SPR wise the extra 21 SPR (Skull smasher vs Masinios) doesn’t really add up to much extra damage from blind faith. When faced with a 300atk difference vs 21SPR for zealots, patk is still better as they have skills which have high skill damage%.

But, if I have a high trans high anvil Skull Smasher (+16, trans7 and above), It will be more cost efficient to just keep on using it until the next content/gear level is released. Skullsmasher itself at that level can clear most of the content without much problems.

Thanks @Nekorin! I’m also factoring in the additional damage to Blessing. Hmm…
