Crash Shot

  Considering that G12S2 practically doubles the number of useful ranged skills (one of which costing the most AP of all skills in the game), would anyone happen to know the answers the following questions? Thank you.
  
  1. How mobile is Crash Shot compared to other ranged skills?
  
  Humans
  Loading: Immobile/walk/run
  Aiming: Immobile/walk/run
  
  Elves
  Loading: Immobile/walk/run
  Aiming: Immobile/walk/run
  
  w/crossbow
  Loading: Immobile/walk/run
  Aiming: Immobile/walk/run
  
  2. Mabinogi Wiki states that the output is subject to a damage modifier of 150-250% at r1. The initial preview stated that essentially "more targets=more damage" which is correct?
  
  Again, I appreciate any information provided.

  The 250% at r1 modifier applies to when the target is alone. The more targets=more damage applies when the target isn't alone.

  Crash Shot is as mobile as Magnum Shot for both races. Slowed to a walk while and after loading with a bow. And running while loading and immobile while aiming with a crossbow.
  
  As for the multiplier, the initial shot gets normal damage but when it splashes it deals damage depending on the number of enemies caught in the fragmentation. It deals a random interval damage between the minimum to the maximum then that's added along with the multiple damage bonus which looks like 5%-10% per mob but I'm not too sure. I can never catch more than 4 people in one Crash Shot anyways.

  Thanks for the information. I'll add it to the wiki for everyone's benefit.

  So, can the bonus damage from extra targets can cause the overall damage to exceed 250%?

  I haven't gotten past r5 but I've often found myself doing double damage with only 2 mobs in the fragmentation. It's not definitive proof but since this skill implies using it on 5 mobs caught in the fragmentation via training, I think it's safe to assume that it can go beyond the max damage listed on the wiki.

  I guess I was wrong about Crash Shot. It's a pretty awesome skill after all. Tellos and I updated the wiki. I'm assuming that damage is calculated like so,
  
  (min-max)+(# of targets * bonus multiplier)
  Damage would likely parallel Windmill when used against small mobs. When used against large mobs, the output would likely be phenomenal. (Orb rooms)
  
  Pros
  1. Extremely high splash damage.
  2. Skills can be loaded during the "flip" animation (similar to windmill)
  3. Excellent splash radius (700 at r1)
  4. Ignores protection to determine critical (Insignificant to most archers)
  5. Stuns enemies caught in the blast.
  6. Only the target will exhibit agro.
  
  Cons
  1. Ineffective against a single opponent.
  2. Highly variable damage.
  3. Highest AP requirement (w/e).
  4. Mediocre aim speed.
  5. Decent load time.
  
  Unknown
  1. Crash Shot versus Natural Shield
  2. Exact fragmentation damage (% added per opponent)
  2a. Is fragmentation damage rank dependent?
  2b. Is there a limit to fragmentation damage?
  
  IMO, this completely replaces Thunder when rafting, if you have the rank and dexterity to effectively use it.

  Yes, it is an awesome skill, kinda like a windmill skill that you can choose where to shoot it at, as long as it's in your bow range
  From this, we'll have a lot of Bow egos being created, and as you said, it will also completely replace Thunder during rafting, even at lower ranks

  Lookin' forward to it. Most likely not going to beable to save the ap with the rate of Nexon's updates now x-x.

  Could someone possibly translate the Crash Shot related sections of this webpage? While some of the information is outdated, a couple bits of info are completely unique. Specifically the chart section which lists some kind of "projectile quality" ranging from three to six depending on rank.

  Any information that y'all can provide helps. It would also be great if someone could upload a video of Crash Shot that actually displays it's potential.

  Yea if I actually liked range...but I'll be ranking for the mana and maybe someday I'll use that for rafting to. The rafting was my first thought for this also.
• Kaeporo wrote on 2010-08-02 20:17
  I figured it out. The chart refers to the maximum number of targets that can receive splash damage starting with three targets at rF.
  
  I'll make note of it on the wiki. Feel free to prove me wrong before I move this info from talk to main.
