Nah, temp dex too good, specially if HE procs :v

[fuyukikun]

HE procs will benefit both KB and arm vulcan

[Boxinguru]

BP give me a good 7k more damage than HE when it procs

[fuyukikun]

raise your KB level to 5 and see the difference

[kiddo313]

It might seem obvious, but with the new mechanic set, you are no longer required to go 120 dex. 

 

This gives more options to increase some other stats besides dex, probably allowing for more flexibility in stat allocation.

@kiddo313

 

It might be worth it just for AC damage, depending on if you can get it spam-able without the dex boots. I find the 120 dex worth it personally because of the KB skill. I do alot more single target dps with KB than I do with AC.

[kiddo313]

I'm actually using the EA FAW with Temporal Dex Boots right now Boxinguru.  Still saving up money to buy/farm for the new mechanic gears.  Glad to know that my old gears aren't obsolete, and the new mechanic accessories and armor are still quite useful even without the full set bonus. 

 

Another question though, I've been looking around the Database website and found discrepancies with Pile Bunker S.

 

The irowiki database states that it reduces Cast Delay with every 2 upgrades, while the website says it increases attack speed every 2 upgrades.  Which one is it?

 

 

 

 

 

[Boxinguru]

I am pretty sure it is ASPD increase every 2 upgrades. I haven't seen one in game and am working on farming engines to find out.

gonna stick with sharp HF

Keep us updated Boxinguru.

On a related note, has anyone tried playing as an Axe Mechanic with the new Tornado Axe and Supplement Gears?

Could anyone confirm if the supplement bonuses stack?

[Boxinguru]

I have tested Axe Mechanic a little bit. With a +9 sea captains hat, +7 Tornado axe, and supplement gear it does decent damage. I was doing similar damage compared to arm cannon but was able to spam faster with axe tornado.

Im not sure what you mean by stacking. If I equip the armor and garment I do get the 25% tornado bonus. If I add the dex supplement I get the boomerang bonus. If I add another dex I do get double casting reduction and sp cost but I dont get double boomerang damage.

The Sea Captain Hat does not appear to be stacking correctly. Will need more testing. Quick testing, so accuracy may not be 100%.

[fuyukikun]

supplementary str has exclusive combo if worn with one of other parts. if wearing all 4 of supplementary parts, will all combo effects activated? or just one combo activated?

Edited by fuyukikun, 22 May 2016 - 12:26 AM.

[Boxinguru]

Yea, you can get all the set bonuses at once.

[fuyukikun]

great to hear. thanks

[kiddo313]

Again, thank you Boxinguru for those tests.

 

I believe  fuyukikun stated the "stacking" question I had a bit better.  Again, thank you for confirming that you can get all supplement armor bonuses when you have them equipped together.

[Boxinguru]

There are just a few gears I find appealing with this update. The AC set would be worthwhile if it was 100% increase instead of 50%. The best part of the set are the barrels, but only for KB. 

 

The Axe Tornado set is barely worth it. You need a +9 Sea Captains Hat to do similar damage to the AC build. The Tornado Axe is good for spamming AT, also increases damage slightly. You take alot more damage as well. 

 

 

[kiddo313]

Now, all we need to know are the enchantments we can get for the new Mechanic gears.

 

1.  Which of the new armors can be enchanted?  Does it include the new weapons as well?

 

2.  Do we get better enchantments at +9?  What're the possible enchantments for each type of gear?

 

 

[kiddo313]

I am pretty sure it is ASPD increase every 2 upgrades. I haven't seen one in game and am working on farming engines to find out. 

 

Boxinguru, I've found one on vend a while ago.

 

Apparently, Pile Bunker S reduces cast delay by 1% every 2 upgrades.

Do you guys know that the effect of +7 Sea Captain hat does not work properly. It doesnt increase 10% damage according to Weapon Research skill. Who can fix this??
