G12S2 introduces a skill that makes int magic obsolete

  Non-stackable as in, you cannot equip four of the same treasures at the same time?

  Yus but like I said 1 is enough for 999 Dex :D

  If they were stackable it'd be overpowering.
  
  This skill is good for elves with their large mana pools, though.
  
  But this skill is really situation-specific and it's not versatile like magnum.

  
  
  1. This skill costs 490 AP. You wouldn't rank it unless you afford it.
  2. Crash shot isn't versatile? If you run into more than one enemy, use crash shot. Simple. The splash doesn't agro and the skill stuns instead of knocking back so it's not like you can't just use it again. One enemy will take windmill-ish damage while the other takes magnum damage.

  It's not as versatile as magnum.

  Enlighten us with a majority of foreign players who actually found Crash Shot more useful than Blaze or Intermediate Magic for that matter? I'd like to see this skill in practical uses rather than theoretical situations.

  That doesn't mean that it's not versatile.

  I didn't say that it is .___.
  
  I said magnum was more versatile.

  What's stopping foreign players from spamming it then?
  
  If it was so hax, we'd have heard about it... wouldn't we?

  And I'm tempted to just ignore all this theory stuff as theoretical values aren't always right.
  That and this is comparing a magic skill to a range skill, different fields still (in my opinion anyways).

  This.
  I'm sure if Crash Shot is as godly as you and Jah make it out to be, we'd be seeing KR archers showing off their newfound 15k+ campfire-crit shots.

  forumla is 0.6*splash damage*number of enemies

  lol, an even easier way to solo Ciar Advance... as if it wasn't easy enough.
• Andy-Buddy wrote on 2010-08-21 02:10
  So uhh, all of that math before...
  
  Let's say 300 base * 2.5 Splash * 6
  
  4500 * 1.5 Campfire * 2.5 Crit = 16875
  
  Still High, but no where as insane.

  Hengsheng, how did you determine the actual damage formula? Also, would you happen to know what the knockback distance is? It looks like 800 units.
  
  When Crash Shot hits the states I'm going to test the damage output with a min>max weapon at each rank. Even if the damage isn't outstanding, it's still a phenomenal skill.
