  A bit late to the party, but anyone who even compares Blaze to Kamehameha is pretty much a moron.
  
  There's a difference between firing an energy beam at someone and bashing something with an energy-infused rod to cause them to explode.

  Okay, first of all, can we pick a language to call the skill? I mean, you're mixing Japanese and English right there. Please pick either Kage Bunshin, or Shadow Clones, not a mixture of both. It's already bad enough that they stole the skill directly from Naruto (and don't deny it, the only thing different is that we don't appear over the enemy's head and kick him back down to the ground after being sent flying), we don't need to all look like complete weeaboos by calling the skill a mixture of Japanese and English.
  
  But other wise, cool that the skill is coming out. Definitely would have placed all of my money on it being a JP server exclusive to help draw in more players, but more Str is always welcomed. And Phunkie, if devCAT doesn't fix the glitch where you cancel the skill after you create the clones, then you can most definitely spam this skill provided enough SP pots. If you abuse the glitch, then you can hit just about any monster in this game for like 1600-2400, since it ignores Protection, for both calculating damage and chance to land a critical (meaning that you can effictively hit anywhere for 1600-6000). It ignores Counterattack and Defense, hits enemies that have been frozen by Ice Spear, and even able to reach Flying Blinkers. Since it uses up souls after the skill is finished, you could create 6 clones, cancel the skill, load it again, create 6 clones, etc. I call that broken. Of course, chances are, it'll be fixed by the time it reaches the NA servers, but if not, we got ourselves a very broken skill. :/

  
  
  Summon Golem?

  If it reaches North America. There has been no proof or word from NA Nexon that it will be added, just speculation by Phunkie.
  So don't get your hopes up or, jump the gun thinking it will be added, because I very much doubt it will be, since most of the player base do not want it (nexon forums)

  May only be speculation, but since the skill is coming out in TW, the chances of it coming out in NA is increased exponentially. Before, when people were saying that it'll come out in NA when the skill only just came out in JP, there's a good reason to doubt it, since it came out for JP only and bypassed KR, meaning that it had a good chance of being exclusive content for JP. But now that it's internationally released, the chances of it not coming just got ever so much closer to 0.
  
  Plus besides, how often does the Mabi team even listen to their own forums over what should be and shouldn't be added to the game?

  For all the hate it's getting . . . I think it's a pretty okay skill. It has a buildup required, it just was poorly-implemented by a bunch of idiot developers. The skill shouldn't be cancelable once the clones appear. If they had done that, or even prevented it from being canceled at all, it's a pretty fair skill and . . . I'd like it.

  You? Liking anything? I'd love to see the day when that happens. And as for the no cancellation, I think it'd be fair if you could cancel it midway through, but canceling it also deletes the clones that exist (as would getting hit by something else, to make things balanced). Also, as for the bug, it's not that difficult to delete the soul counter the second the skill executes. Do it in its own little space of runtime so that even if the skill cancels before that, the counter will still reset.

  Skill's nice. Gives more str.
  Do want.

  I sincerely hope we don't get this skill because it deals 1600-2400 noncrit un-negatable damage at r1 (prot gets entirely thrown out) and you can use a glitch to make it not cost any of those soul things after you have one. The only downside is the large stam cost but people with cypress aren't really going to care about that part.

  I believe on the JP wiki that stam has an effect on the damage. So cypress would in effect, lower the damage.
  Correct me if i'm wrong.

  if that's true I didn't know so, but it's also true that you can have a Cypress Healer weapon as well as a careful healer shield and have a total of -180 stam , providing for a much more efficient skill if that's the case.

  So if it's so overpowered, WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN ANYONE USE IT ALL THE TIME!?! I see people only use it on the blue ball monsters and that's IT. everyone just sticks to smash downattack smash. = =;
• Shanghai wrote on 2010-12-30 05:04
  That's because no good combos work with it. Smash-Bunshin seems viable, but what comes after that if you don't want to look like a spammer using it again?

  Yup, thanks for that!
  
  Nonetheless, it's silly to complain about how this is a Naruto skill.

  I don't care how the skill works, the +strength is what's important :O
