I dont know about your community/server , But for me i am living in Singapore which is where the Servers are hosted for Telsiai , so ping issue is not a problem for me & if ping is an issue , why even go auto attack in the first place since it limits ur potential , 120k x3 on grooving is possible for sure , if ur talking about content with low def of course it works , on velcoffer i was hitting 300k x 11 per covering & this is with 20k patk 5.6k crit atk.
Yes it’s true i can likely hit those values in my case with the scout 3 [ distortion ] + Ranger 1 [ crit shot ] , regarding dmg loss it would require some testing for sure , it’s hard to determine weather the Physical attack increase is Better or worse then a Crit shot dmg increase for AA without any vids and such .
Both are great i feel just different in the playstyles , archer 3 is overall easier since there is not need to manage the Critical shot buff , whilst archer 2 - ranger 1 requires more finger movement on the keyboard .
For kab3 & linker 3 however , we do have 100% uptime , here on telsiai at least , even when i go for public parties i always see either a kabba3 or a linker 3 chrono3 in the party . So far i have only encountered a bad linker3 in our party once , however every other party i had on my 5 toons for vel went smoothly ( no deaths , 100% buff uptime , Good pavise from Qs3 falc3 ) , i guess it’s a little different on other regions then here .
What do u mean by 1000 extra damage and 7000 damage ? are u talking about Elemental dmg or Physical attack , because their both very different .
