Lithorex Card
Lightning property attack +[★*10]

079_boss_lithorex

Total Lightning Damage: 882 + 297 (3x 99 Lightning Property Attack from Headgear) = 1179
Enchanter with 600 INT and 10 SPR, lv 10 Enchant Lightning = 1225 (I could be wrong on this one)

5% to hit for 1000% of your Lightning Property Attack = 24040.

I wonder if this passive can trigger on any form of attack, such as additional lines? Would make Corsair pretty interesting. I’d like to see what you guys think, mix in Frenzy from Barbarian for extra attack speed, does it still add attack speed, I haven’t touched that class in ages?

DISCLAIMER: I’m not sure if the spear passive takes into account the Enchant Lightning damage or not, the Dagger seems to boost the Lightning property attack judging from the text, it should not work like Arde Dagger (Add. Fire Property Damage).

#2

24040 is a misleading number because you didn’t multiply by 5% for a final increase of 1202 for all that investment. Ah, the art of misrepresentation.

I’m not following you.

I assume any attacks can trigger it like the mace, but I could be wrong.

Go all out and get Shnayim cards and a Kite Moor set too!

Shnayim card:
Lightning property resistance + [★*10]

Kite Moor set:
Increases property attack in value equivalent to property resistance
Affected properties: Poison, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Dark, Holy, Earth, Psychokinesis
Max. 300 per property

Frenzy does still increase your atk speed.

The build could work, but I don’t see much purpose behind it. Why not just make an enchanter and have the +lightning damage also affect all your party members? Why not make a chaplain and have a bunch of auto-atk buffs together with the ability of healing your party?

A lot of the damage from Enchanter’s basic attack come from Lightning Hands. A lot of the damage from chaplains come from Aspergillium. It would be very hard, for a swordman3, to make up for that loss of damage by having Concentration with a DEX build. Concentration doesn’t scale up with your weapon’s transcedence.

I was just trying to find a reason to justify that spear. One reason for it might be the fact that you don’t have to enchant/transcend your weapon in order to make your build work. All you need is attack speed and lightning damage. I guess I’m sticking to my Wingshard for now. But I have to admit, I can’t understand why we are getting that much DEX on a Spear, as Hoplite has no viable endgame progress and Dragoon isn’t based on attack speed. Go figure.

#7

1h Spear users tend to get Hoplite circles with Finestra, which means more crit rate. DEX gives more crit atk. Pygry Spear, for example, has +461 crit atk.

I believe that’s the reason, not atk speed itself.

#8

block penetration, evasion, crit attack… and atk speed isn’t that bad, it’s a good item. some builds, like real dps dragoon 3 builds, rolls highlander 3 + hop 2, it helps a lot to spam skyliner
