Hey guys, just a combo question. I've seen videos of people performing support shot+blaze and the damage output is really insane. However, after re-watching several times, I still cannot seem to figure out when to shoot my support shot when the mage I am assisting shoots his/her blaze. If any of you guys know this combo and are cool with sharing, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Blaze has two attacks, the initial hit and the explosion. The initial hit is the weaker hitting one based on str iirc. So have your support shot loaded and shoot JUST after the first hit and before the second to get the damage modifier for the explosion.

Ah, I think I get it now. It will just require me getting the timing down and to fully cooperate with the mage I am assisting in real time combat situations. Thanks n02.
P.S. It was actually your video I was watching. I asked Artheme how you did it, but she said it was a family secret, so I gave up on it for a while.

No prob :o and LOL Artheme. I told her to say that but I didn't thin she actually would xD. Sorry for the delayed response. And yea this is by no means practical in a real combat situation in sms/ etc. More just like a for fun thing to see how high you can make the numbers jump. It took Howhurl and myself around 1/2 an hour to get the one in the video clip.[S] Partly because I'm terrible with instructions. [/S]

Oh, that's funny xD Art actually felt really bad and apologized because I sounded really mad due to stress from that day. But yeah, definitely will try it to see some big numbers jump up on my screen. Maybe I'll try it for real on an SM boss or something, but thanks for the help man.

I won't be on mabi for a bit, so whatever you manage to deal make sure to share with me on nation :D

I'm getting the master title slowwwwwwly. I guess I'll just spam-train it when I'm in a party where everyone hits 2x more damage than I do, so at least they won't denigrate me for not hitting five figures consistently. [S]Only a little over 500 max with bow.[/S]

A bit off topic but fun fact: Bohemian with support shot + smash is still stronger than smash with thames set with support shot, if I remember correctly.

Not sure about that, unless my math is wrong somewhere.
Bohemian Support shot + smash would be 70% + 25% + 500% = 595%
Thames smash + support shot would be (500%*15%) + 70% = 645%
This is using human multipliers without a 2hander.

Close, but not quite. This is assuming the smash bonus on thames is a multiplier (500*1.15), while the support shot bonus on bohemian is additive (1.7+1.25).
If the bohemian set support shot bonus is actually a multiplier to support shot then yes, the first scenario will do more damage.
Bohemian Support shot + smash would be (70%+25%)*500% = 975%
Thames smash + support shot would be (500%*15%)*70% = 977.5%
This is using human multipliers without a 2hander.

I knew that. [S]No love from Howhurl :c[/S]
And yeah, @ironwoman, regardless of whether I am using a bohemian/thames set (I don't even own thames lol), I love feeding off of my own support shot during combat. Not only is it so viable, but it's just nice seeing augmented damage, especially with lance ^^
