Champion Build

[bleu]

I was just wondering if FO isnt so effective if you arent on bragi; its a ranged attack so it have a damage reduction more than a melee.

I will make this brief. From the sounds of it, Ascalon knows what he should do now- which is great. A small misconception about reduction of damage in WOE. (eAthena default settings by the way)

// Melee damage adjustments (non skills) for WoE battles (Guild Vs Guild) (Note 2)
gvg_short_attack_damage_rate: 80

// Ranged damage adjustments (non skills) for WoE battles (Guild Vs Guild) (Note 2)
gvg_long_attack_damage_rate: 80

// Weapon skills damage adjustments for WoE battles (Guild Vs Guild) (Note 2)
gvg_weapon_attack_damage_rate: 60

// Magic skills damage adjustments for WoE battles (Guild Vs Guild) (Note 2)
gvg_magic_attack_damage_rate: 60

// Misc skills damage adjustments for WoE battles (Guild Vs Guild) (Note 2)
gvg_misc_attack_damage_rate: 60


As you can see, Finger Offensive damage will be reduced by only 40%. It's a skill, long range attack. It's reduction is no more than any other skilled attacks such as Asura or Investigate or even Soul Breaker. The 20% reduction in long range attacks is meant for non-skilled attack; like just shooting your arrows with a bow without using Double Strafe. I am not saying you have to use FO all the time, just use it if you see an opportunity for it. There may be situations where Asura is better - if a Sinx starts breaking my emp, I will Asura him without thinking

Best of luck. It's tough being in a small guild but twice the fun

Wow, the very first line in your build and it's already worthless.

Oh, thanks. I've never checked it "manually" but ever thought ranged (both attack and skill) were reduced like a 10%~ more than melee. But as i see, ranged/melee attack have the same reduction, so i will use FO more than before.

You too.
Sure fun is more, and when you know your mates IRL and can talk with them while playing, thats a big incentive and you can maximize team's coordination, which on server with small guild woeing is one of the best weapon you can use.

Like i said, that was a build which use mostly Asura, sometimes Palm and Occult. Or may you dont even read the previously posts, but whatever, i will provide a new one.

It doesn't matter WHAT you use, all monk skills rely on STR to do damage.
