Yet another disappointing thing to come out of Cannoneer C2, besides the lack of percentage skill damage on Cannon Barrage, is the fact Smoke Grenade does not work on bosses.
Why doesn’t it work on bosses? Is it intended to be this way?
My damage output r8+ is ridiculously low compared to all the others with sustainable dps
Cannon barrage is a fake multihit now. So the damage sucks.
Smoke Grenade does not work on bosses.
It’s intended. Until theres a update it will not work on bosses. Certain mobs with high SPR will resist it as well.
maybe because the main effect is blind(although most of us use this skill because of attribute effect), still have some use vs mob
cannon barrage used to have percentage at early release of R8 ktos, but at that time it’s fake multi hit, later they change to true multi hit which is better
I’m not sure if our cannon barrage is fake or true multi hits, many people said ours is still fake, but I test it by use at staue of dun 290 and it pop 1 dmg for 3 times while fake multihit skill like twin arrow only pop 1 dmg for 1 time.
Test it on a scarecrow it will only deal 1 damage regardless. If it does 3 hits of 1 means they ninja it on the previous maintenance.
Maybe I’ll do some test later to confirm again at 1dmg object that has not much hp like boss trap. 1 dmg multiple time maybe just visual glitch too if it show 3 time but still deal the same as other 1 hit skill.
Test it on highlander scarecrow for no of hits in klai it’s the most accurate
OK I test the skill with scarecrow it’s 3 of 1dmg
So they did change it already to a real multi hit… @_@. TIme for cannoner to rejoice
still mad its not % damage xd
It’s just mean you need high investment of attributes + a good decent transcend cannon to bank the damage up @_@.
Also since now it’s a true multi hit you can literally break damage cap of 200k per skill total ( up to 600k on cannon barrage itself) so… it’s decent
Cannon barrage with 50% attributes does like 11k per hit, while my cannon blast does 55k with 50% attribut… I bet you that they might have given the multi hit but not the damage.
Er did you forget that it’s 11k per hit X 3 hits and have 2 cool down over heat which comes up to 66k per total skill used?
Cannon Barrage total > Cannon Blast ( the main difference here is 8 second CD)
Cannon blast is only 1 hit which mean it caps at 200k. Where as Cannon barrage can cap up to 1.2m?
This is the differences. When your gear caps out cannon blast is equals what snipe is 1 shot of 200k. Basically any true multi hit will > fake multi and also 1 hit skills when it caps.
-old cannon barrage in past of ktos was just 200% not it’s 100% 3 hits
-cannon barrage have stun attribute and true multi hit make 15% becom39% not bad vs mob
IMO I still prefer blast over barrage because of more aoe ratio and larger hit area, but I think barrage still decent at least this skill still look better than other skills except cannon blast
It’s true that these new skills don’t improve cannoneer than much, but it’s to be expect every other class have some nice skill, but not every circle gain will always gain good skill.
Cannon barrage is good, but not that good compared to what I would think about it… Cannon blast is satisfyingly better larger aoe instant cast no animation to root you in place etc…
I wish they make Siege shot applicable during Bazooka stance. It has the same range and the same purpose to hit far.
It’s the bread and butter to add up to cannoner dps rotation. Cannon Barrage works well with falconer.
Also hits more in total against bosses. So yea the only down side is the aoe ratio is low and cool down is bad which i agree with most.
Dang with Attributes?
Mine without already hits 12k per hit without any attributes besides the stun.
So with 50% you will hit 18k @_@
Cannon Barrage damage is awful compared to all the new rank8 skills and yeah Smoke Grenade don’t affect bosses, some mobs can resist it and some mobs are always immune to it.
It’s pretty good for PvP though, that’s all I can say.
Compared to Dethrone (literally half the cooldown and double the damage) and Balesta Fente our Cannon Barrage is pretty bad even for pvp.
