"Slaying -- Crit Mod when you are below 50% HP"

Are you 100% sure that that is the meaning of "Critical hits do an additional 1.3 times damage when below 50% hp."? http://www.teratome.com/item/8205/slaying-crux

I have always read it as that you do 1.3 times crit hits when the mob is below 50% hp. Playing a berserker, I have had a slaying crystal in 100% of the time when in grps from 20-60 and it would have to an incredible coincidence that i just happen to crit much harder every time a mobile is below 50% hp for reasons other than the slaying crystal.

Never the less thank you for the well thought out write up I enjoyed reading it, obviously other than my one question.


Goodluck and goodhunting.


P.S. I have not actualy sat down and tested this so keep that in mind.


though already answered in this post, the fact that you asked meant you missed it so ill just repeat/reiterate.

you are clearly using a focus crystal (as all dps should since it's free dps). and mobs go enraged at 50% life meaning you always do that extra 1.4 crit multiplier when the mob is about to die. love doing 200k+ hits because of this.

most dps is clearly acrimonious/savage/forceful/carving then switch at 50% to focus'd or just ignore forceful and go focus'd since ppl are too lazy to get out of combat to switch their crystals to meet an enrage timer...

id honestly just stack 4 mp5 crystals until then since dps only matters during the enrage timers anyways...
given the same player playing both classes a slayer will beat a warrior 1 v 1 until the player becomes amazing then the warrior will win. warriors are HARD TO PLAY, but an amazing warrior is unstoppable, but 99.9% are not amazing... up to you.

You know that two star difficulty they gave archers?

~For boss fighting, it's probably not far off.

~For Pvp, it's dead wrong.


that's the same for every class, the only one they got right was warrior, it remains a 5 for pvp as well :D

but bad dps are very noticeable in pvp, a bad sorc, slayer or archer will never hit someone who knows how to play, it's pretty pathetic.

Traps are pretty worthless, and yes all of them. No experienced player is going to fall for your lame [filtered] lightning trap. Even before celerity you should have stop using traps, seriously stop using htem.


this, i dont have a single trap on my bar at 60, there are some pvp builds that use traps to get away from melee, this works against noobs which you can kill with just ice needling and running 8in circles... but this does NOT work against players that know what they are doing... traps are useless at the high end pvp.

use whatever you want for leveling, but know at 60 u wont use traps unless u just solo bams all day.

Can we please NOT do it? :) I for one enjoy the NPC /saying things in chat - it contributes to making the game seem alive. In fact it's a whole lot nicer than just seeing LFM.... DPS ... spam :)

Seriously, I think it's a good feature. So from me a -1.


so because u like it, u dont want others to even have the ability to turn it off? how selfish... u could simply leave it on...

-1 internets to you.

If you're just going to 4 man it anyway why use LFD?


cause the lockout is half that if you go in without it... very silly imo, imo there shouldnt be any lockout whatsoever for dungeons.

ive 4man'd many dungeons, especially after the lancer leaves, u would be surprised how easy every boss in this game is without having a single lancer in the party...
lol it's only the dungeon queue being effected. warriors always have and always will be main tanks in this game, and good guilds know this and use them as it stands. have a nice day troll, hope i gave you some food for thought.

It's fine how it is. The crystals are EASILY obtained from boss monsters (field and dungeon).

The only reason they are that expensive is because it's the first day, people got lucky and put them up for a lot. They're not going to stay that expensive.


wrong, these get destroyed on almost every death, the supply will never be higher than the demand, im at the point where i use nothing but vendor bought crystals cause they are the only ones i can easily replace... even at 9g each it's better than the 275g (yes that's what a lvl 48 green crystal costs) a death.
It's amazing how bad the OP and many people are. The fact that you had 5 people in the group and all of them are too stupid to realize you can loot while dead is beyond me...

/thread
as a sorc i still have no sympathy for lancer zerkers warriors slayers or even archers because all 5 of you have a chance to be in a full group and have no one roll against you... as a sorc i will NEVER have this chance!!!!! i will always have to roll against a priest or mystic as every group has at least 1 priest or 1 mystic, there is no exception. also it's just for armor... who cares? i dont, at 60 dont pug as that's not getting u anywhere.
