Monk: Does Int and Con have huge impact on Energy Blast damage?

Class and Rank
#1

Based on what I read in quite a few threads and watched in some updated and unbiased or “unskewed” videos on youtube, a majority of players say that energy blast is weak. I have heard a theory that energy blast damage is affected by intelligence and constitution. Has that been tested by anybody?

Energy Blast scales on Enchant Attribute,Skill level and STR/DEX.Energy blast is good for PVP and mobs if you hit them against a structure to max your damage output but very bad against bosses.On the other hand,it will do decent damage to a shadow/dark property boss.

The fact that Energy Blast can be dodged and block,you know it’s not magic.So if it’s not magic then INT is not required.
The type of attack Energy Blast is Melee with the Holy property.

Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with you that energy blast is not magic attack but just like the heal amount of Heal is affected by Int in its formula (I totally understand Heal is a magic attack and its damage is affected by the character’s magic attack and therefore int), I was wondering if energy blast takes into account of int in a similar way like Heal and Block (which takes SPR bonuses) do. I have this query because the old skill description of Energy Blast (Aka Sunray hand) says this:

“Sunrays Hand Channeling inner strength, vitality and intelligence*, Monk is able to release a massive amount of damage on a straight line. Source: http://toswiki.treeofsaviorgame.com/class/monk”

Sorry for sounding like an skeptical jerk XD but it is such an important question because it can affect the whole gameplay and job combination of this class. Please test for me >.<

Some of the info in that wiki are either outdated or wrong but not all.

I am not playing in the KTOS but for you to be 100% sure I hope someone from the KTOS answer’s your question with a fact.

Thanks for the info! Actually my gut feeling tells me that you are correct cuz it doesn’t make sense to have one skill out of all that scales with int. If there were two, it would be fun as it gives more variety in terms of viable builds and synergy to other cleric jobs.
