Kiel, useful for SGs?

[Xeighter]

Is Kiel useful at all for FSK?

[Omi]

To be blunt, no.

[A92FL0163]

In theory yes, but due to the skill nature to auto target the last enemy you "dodged" with Breakfall, it takes at least 0.9~1.2 seconds to "calculate" if you had any Breakfall (That's why when you click without dodging it takes a little time to the skill to show up, just like Asura does), so if you went into a spam of FSK, it would only be effective on targets who would spam Long Range attacks or Magic Attacks, because if they didn't, you would need to keep manual spam, which would once again waste more time into the "calculating" time than on the "Delay" of the skill.

And Kiel wouldn't be useful on TKs due their kicks have almost to none cooldown, and if I remember, they are based on ASPD.

TL; DR: Not really.

EDIT: Geebus, someone posted earlier.

See, I was intending to use FSK on the Emperium with Hate on it.
Still not useful?

[A92FL0163]

I remember Emperium being immune to skills, or most of them...
But yes, still not useful, you better use Union(SL Skill) and hit it normally, without auto-casts or kicks.

It's not to Flying Side Kick.

Uh...

Running + FSK with Hate and a lot of Dex + triple TG/ Ifrit Str Rings and Gloom makes it die very, very fast.

topic closed, thanks for the input guys.

[Omi]

FSK doesn't damage the emperium though

so i dunno what you'd do with your build setup

[Xeighter]

So 3 TGs in my Book is pointless, since magnum break changes my element?

[Omi]

Magnum Break doesn't change your element, it just increases your damage.

If you want to break emperiums with an SK, you need union or if you play a high rate, just a high damage / max ASPD possible along with some crit.

What?

So it just adds fire elemental damage?
Posted on: Jan 23, 2009, 01:20 pmYou know what? I think I might just go with my LK to break emps. Aren't they better anyways?

[Omi]

No, it DOES fire elemental damage around you, but you get an attack boost of 20% + for a short duration.

[Xeighter]

for 10 whole seconds.

but doesn't that mean I hit the emp for less damage? Or is the exchange worth the trade?

[Guest]

a lot of people confuse that up and think it does a temp fire ele enchantment....

After usage, it adds a 20% Fire-elemental bonus to ATK that lasts for 10 seconds.

No?

[Omi]

Thats just wrong information.  From someone who uses it all the time, it does give you a normal 20% attack boost.
