With EDP, I manage to do 6 - 7k damage per roll. I could only mob about 3 - 4 of them at once and anything more gets me killed if i don't spam aloes fast enough.
How do I add more damage so I could do 20k+ damage?
1. Wow 6-7k is very low damage with EDP and fire endow. That is like my normal damage. I know this is a noob question, but are you using EDP level 5 or level 1? I ask this because I have skill reset my GX(s) before, and sometimes i would forget to change my hotkey from EDP level 1 to EDP level 5.
EDP is highly dependent on your equip attack. EDP level 5 will multiply your weapon atk by 5 times, and your equipment atk by 4 times.
So best way to improve your damage, is by adding more attack.
I was doing 20k damage because i had alot of attack.
High upgraded WBC with FS enchants/high upgraded KVM katar
FS Nab Cloths with porcellio card/peco peco card
+30 attack from HBP from 90 str bonus
+20 attack from dual RT from 90 agi bonus
I am in the school of thought, that for GX, offense is your best defense. I would rather load up on alot of attack/damage, with a high attack katar, so i can kill things fast so I take less damage. Than get a low attack weapon with hunterflys, and kill things slower while tanking more damage and hoping for hp leech proc
2. Your gear needs improvement
Headgear = +9 RWH
This is fine, i used the same thing for leveling
Middle = None
Try to get an improved opera mask (+5 atk) or robo eyes (+2% atk)
Lower = Spare Card
This is okay, but i rather use a pirate dagger which is +5 atk (which gets multiplied by 4 with EDP)
Armor = Sapha's Cloth (Carded with Sandman)
Terrible armor, needs a definite upgrade, try to get a Nabs Cloth with FS enchants, then card it with porcellio for more attack or a peco peco card for more HP and survivability. Sandman card really does nothing for you in scaraba.
Garment = +9 immune Heroic Backpack
This is fine.
Footgear = Eden boots
Terribly bad, does nothing for you. Get variant shoes for more HP and survivability (cheap buy), or temporal str boots with FS enchants for more damage(expensive buy). Also you could go BSB combo, but that takes away two gear slots.
Accessory 1 = Bakonawa Agimat
This is okay, but its more of an end game accessory because it does more with better gear.
Based on you gears, the 7% atk only adds +13 atk(7% atk is only applied to your equip + weapon attack)
Based on your stats + gears + awake pot+ no other buffs/items, the 10% aspd puts you at 186.04 aspd which is okay I guess. Without bako, you would have 184.83 aspd.
Accessory 2 = Teleport Clip
Either use this on switch(hotkey it) or use flywings, waste of a slot when you are attacking.
Replace it with one of the following
Nab ring = +10 atk, can also be enchanted for more HP/SP/stats etc.
Vesper Core = +10 atk & +3 str
Rogue Treasure = +10 atk/crit with 90 agi and +10 flee/hit with 90 str
Ring of Flame Lord = +15 atk & +2 str
RWC Ring = +1% atk + can be enchanted up to +28 atk(perfect FS3/FS3)
Bako Tattoo = or you can get another one of these xD, another 10% aspd would put you at 187.25 aspd.The faster you spin, the faster you deal damage.
Weapon = +4 Agent Katar (Carded with mummy card)
Try to get this up to +7, or at least +5 which is the safe limit because it is a level 3 weapon. At minimum you get an extra +5 atk for every refine level.
3. Now if you can't break at least 10k damage with EDP + endow after adding more attack, i would level somewhere else instead. Because with at least 10k damage it should only take you 6-7 RC spins to kill instead of the 10-11 RC spins you are doing now, which should help your survivability immensely, It would cut the time you are tanking damage almost in half. Plus you should also be able to tank more damage anyway if you choose to get variants or peco peco card, because GX have the second highest HP modifier in the game.
