Finally finished Shock, was it worth it?

  Shock is a support skill, not really a main attack.
  I haven't really found a use for it yet since mine is only Rank B, but I am considering to use it with golems in future when I begin to rank it.

  Ity only costs so much due to epeen issues, otherwise its rather lame :/ even as a dedicated alchmist i have no intrest in it for the ap investment 300ap into golem and i get 5k crtismashs, 300 ap into shock and well yeah lol shock should have been a 150 skill

  
  
  And how is Shock exactly an "e-peen" skill? The reasons it cost so much is because the pages is extremely difficult to get, not because of the e-peen issues.
  
  :|
  
  And I did 120-140 damages with Rank 5 Shock, and 140 damages with r5 shock for 25 seconds every 2 seconds dealing 15 monsters at once.
  
  Meaning you can do about 1.4k damages total to 10-15 ish monsters at once with one use of Shock.
  
  Now if I do 200 damages for shock at rank 1, hitting 10-15 ish monsters at once, for 30 seconds, then I can deal 3k damages to the 10-ish monsters after 30 seconds.
  
  
  That sound PRETTY USEFUL to me. If you didn't know, shock can also increase damages for Brionac by huge increase for few minutes which is also what make Shock good. Shock is good support skill, like Yogurt said, but it can be considered as "almost" main attack at rank 5 to 1.

  It annhilates things with high prot/high def (with no mana pd) such as Alby Advance Spiders. It ignores prot and crit for damage so it's useful there.

  I thought shock was an AOE holding skill, not a dps skill.
  
  A skill like that, I wouldn't really care too much what the damage is.

  FYI... shock loses its main use for using on brionac training and in g12 yes in less then what i believe to be a week demigod becomes able to trigger brionac training and portal of falias as well. but SHOCK* gets a dmg boost in g12 to make up for it so.... yeah you decide....

  you don't need more than rN shock to trigger brionac training anyway, so how is this relevant?
• KEL331 wrote on 2010-10-11 01:07
  Oh yeah, Almost forgot.
  
  A R1 Shock boosts your brionac's max dmg by 90. Min. dmg boost was i think +47 or something.
  I'll check it out when the server opens(KR server is getting another patch right now, prob. to fix bugs)
  The master title increases your max dmg by 4%(its good if your dmg is +300)
  
  It's not a worthless skill, its just that nobody uses it for some reason. :what:

  The other thing is about spark crystals being ridiculously difficult to make.

  That problem can be solved by Synthesis.
  It wasn't possible at first, but after a while Devcat patched Shock so you can use synthesis to multiply your crystals.

  For the most part, but see this video:
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpdB0qdaD6s
  
  The stage is Shadow Cast City (Hard difficulty).
  
  With rank 1 shock, rank 1 alchemy mastery, the g12 damage boost, and tower cylinder... shock can hit 300~400 dmg per interval as that video shows.

  Pg1- traded defensive oak tree round pauldron (that I bought for 2 m) for it

  
  
  That was a terrible deal. The armor is a lot better than some dusty old shock page that you could have gotten from Provocation anyways.
• Limes wrote on 2010-10-11 16:56
  The master title alone makes getting the skill worth it, IMO.

  Actually, item traded to get Shock Page 1 is actually very cheap and good deal, since page 1 is hardest page to get and is worth more than 8 mils+.
  
  (paid to get page 1 for myself with 15 millions worth of items)

  Value lies in the eyes of the beholder...
  To some people like me, time is money too.
