I've been in the process of leveling and "collecting" third jobs as I've came across gear to use for them and here recently I'm noticing a trend in the amount of builds I'm using in my non mage/aco classes that rely on ranged damage modifiers. So this got me thinking about ways I can save money and -_- and then I was like "Is there a ranged damage build for my GX that I can use outside of RC/CRS leveling?"

Then I remembered reading on the forums somewhere that there's someone out there who uses a Soul Destroyer build.

I'm wondering how that works?

I'm guessing temporal Dex and dual wielding a high damage primary and a situational secondary?

Can anyone shed some light on exactly how the build works?

Ash did a lot of research and tests about that skill a year ago or so.

You would need to search some pages behind for it.

 

Basically, you would need a stringer and/or pair of Kiels to make it really worth it for 1on1 solo fun. 3 Sec Delay aint fun at all q_q

With Kiels and a Stringer you might be able to dish out some good DPS with SD + it do have Def Pierce already so no need for Ice Pick.

Not worth for leveling, as you kill 1 by 1, plus the high aftercast delay.
Also SD has 0.25s fixed and 0.25s variable cast, temp dex boots is a waste of dps, it removes the fixed, but there's nothing you can do about the variable as you wont get Int anyways. Better of focusing on pure damage
The skill is only reliable to use under strings, and becomes a very good dps if the stringer has high dex + your somewhat high dex+sacra.

Its the highest transclass dps after acid bomb(if you are geared/buffed right it surpasses) when under the rigt conditions

Ash, you gotta post more videos of your characters man

[Ashuckel]

can't

[MoyuZ777]

why

[Darksorrow1234]

so what weapon/cards are good for SBK against for example amdarais? same setup as DD build?

[Ashuckel]

Is basically the same setup as a DD build, except that you fit some Ranged% gears. F you can have impressive Rift/Swing Dance a Sword in the main hand is in general better, as RTE has 1 more slot, or Byeollungum with ea, or Immaterial Sword vs ghost MVPs. Sadly i lost my replay file of a BB party, where i was outdpsing the genetic with my SD SinX, reaching 110k+ SDs on ghost mvps like ESL or Beelz

[Ashuckel]

why

can't either

[Joatmon]

Wait. I thought one put points in INT when going SD because of the magic attack component?

How about this... What's the formula for SD right now, do you know?

Also. Could the Sara accessories or HWHB work for the build?

[spikexp]

since it's cast delay and NOT cooldown HWHB and sara acc works. formula in the wiki as is.

i for one, still prefer burst CRS build if i ever go the ranged GX route.

[Joatmon]

Mehhhhhhh
I've wanted something different than what everyone else is doing for some time :U

[Necrohealiac]

you can still do it. it just won't be fun.

[Joatmon]

Why you gotta be so mean? :|

Also I found out 120 int and temp int does more increase in SD then 120 str and temp str. Of course megs makes another story all together. :U Cause the MATK is easier to accomplish.

Still doing some tinkering. :U

[Ashuckel]

Not it doesnt. EDP
100 matk = 100 matk

100 wATK = 500 atk

EDP rules

[Joatmon]

This is were I confess brainfart

[Joatmon]

BUT Temp INT does give more MATK then Temp STR gives ATK

[Ashuckel]

and racials/element/size/atk% all increase only atk

[Joatmon]

I was only doing calcs with boots so far >·> thank you for stating me obvi

[Silvianna]

I made a new gx back then but when it was a sinx, i was using this build, xD
I was using dual swords, blue natch[3] and sword[4], 3 AS+2 race 2size, 90 str 80 int 1 agi lv 97 sinx with edp i dishd out 68-70k on magmarings lol,
int part is only for regen sp and healing rate from sp recovery item to me, for the damage itself doesnt matter int 1 or 80

[ShinobiEX3]

doesn't EDP half the damage mod on SD

[Silvianna]

Yeah edp halved, so
basically it's twice of your normal SD, even w/o 3As in natch and Ea faw, using grimtooth dagger and 3 race scalpel, you can hit 16k using normal SD

Edited by Silvianna, 18 March 2016 - 03:53 PM.

[Ashuckel]

And since EDP halves the SD formula, also halves the effectiveness from MATK. Hence why ATK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MATK

[Ashuckel]

I updated the wiki months ago with the actual formula, should be very clear '-'

[Joatmon]

Ok.

So then I'm guessing stay based MATK should just come from Luk and Dex then :U

Isn't it possible to reach 30% off delay with diabolus robe and two Sara rings?

Edit: not diabolus robe *-* it's not equippable
