Emp Breaking

[Bass]

Alright, so I have a question for you all.

I've been in a lot of different guilds, in a lot of different servers. I've heard a lot of different builds as to what is better for emp breaking (and thought of the last one), but no arguments as to why which is better than the others. This is my first assassin (ever), and I'd like to be impressive, so I ask you. Which of these is better and why? Or, if theres a better one (within the realm of possibility. This is an 11x across server), what should I go for?

Assassin Dagger +6 and +4 Ice Pick?

Assassin Dagger +6 and [3x Orc Skeleton] Gladius+10?

Two [3x Orc Skeleton] Gladius+10?

[The Paper][2x Soldier Skeleton] Jur+10 (utilizing Thief Combo for +5% Atkspd) on a CritSinX?

So, what do the pros think? And, would using Cursed water on any of these builds just be a total benefit?

A nat crit sinX (50-60 base luk on a 99/70 server, modify to your liking depending on your maxed allowed stats and lvl's) using a tripple damned jur (orc skeleton cards, +20% against holy, per card) upgraded to atleast +7, higher if possible, full priest buffs and edp (+400% dmg) is my emp breaker of choice, crits ignore def and katar builds generally have a higher aspd that DD sins so usually they will do more damage.

But if you do go for a DD sin, make sure you got a 4s main gauche in your offhand (left) with 4 orc skeleton cards in it.. and well not sure about mainhand, but some shadow/undead property dagger perhaps? *shrugs* I dunno I've only played a DD sin once and well only got that to lvl 70-ish (server died).. then I went back to katar builds ^^;

Use your third set of weapons.
Go to gefenia01, farm cursed waters, and use them while you're breaking the emp.
They endow you with the shadow elemental property for a certain duration of time.

OR go back and visit Hel (if you've done the sign quest) and bring lots of empty bottels and make cursed waters in her fountain.. but I still say use a doubble damned katar or a tripple damned jur, and use cured waters on it for even better effect...

Emp = HIGH DEF -----------> Ice pick is pawnage, use it on right hand though

Ice pick plus EDP plus cursed water plus all those nice priest buff (just dun asperio =__=)

is the best if u have a mg[4] with 4 orc skeleton on left.  (remember cards on left affect both the right and left hand, but cards on right only affect the right hand)

and if u chose this i suggest you max ur agi, since with two dags and max agi you still have around 179aspd, with some potions etc (or doppel card >.>) u should reach 180 about. I'm pretty sure u can own the emp pretty quick.

Some servers dont have that quest implemented yet...
For example: The server that I play on.

[NikitaDarkstar]

Ok... I havn't seen a single server yet who don't have the sing myself.. it has been out a while... but ohwell ^^;

As for a DD sin I wouldn't really max agi personally, sure it's nice, but it's so expensive it's not really worth it, I'd go with high str seeing how DD sins have to deal with defense (something crit sins don't) and get a medium to high aspd, the doubble attacks and high dmg should make up for the low aspd.

[ClothoX]

on low rate, i suggest you not go DD build at all.  You will find those crit sinx with their aspd make you look real nub.  XD but for pure emp breaking, is not so bad, would you want to reset everytime you woe?

[NikitaDarkstar]

Lol it depends on how devoted you are, if you're patient (and got zeny to spend) you can handle a DD sin on a low rate also.. and dmg wise they're usually better than crit sins, but they're harder to equip and play.. crit sins are abit more.. cheap and easy to handle..

On a highrate the rules don't really apply like that.. and I know a few pepole who reset 3-4 times during ONE woe.. *shrugs* but then highrate woe's in general tends to be really boring.. low rates got real WAR of Emperium... nor single man mission of emperium >..>

I saw that my cousin char(sinx) take 1 castle by himself. +10 ice pick and saber or blade(hydra and some skel worker). He killed 2 creator,some high wizard, champ and some sinx. (of couse he get a FP) -.-       

[ClothoX]

on high rate, sinx solo castle *shrugs* i solo sometimes.  just make sure you get some sort of backup in the last 5 min >__< don't even bother killing ppl, just go hit the emp. xD

[laecertus]

with my sinx i do 8k DMG (double hit ) on emp
+4ice pick
+10 4damned maingauche
cursed water
130STR
EDP

[Mann]

I prefer the +10 Specialty Jur. 2 Orc Skeletons, 1 Desert Wolf, and a Sidewinder. *shrugs*

Well, I would suggest a Critical + Poison combo.

You need s*** load of Agi and luk. And push your str to the max.
