I never try before but can FAWs use while you are riding MADO gear?

[PervySageMarty]

Supposedly you can, but sources here in the past say you cant. You are welcome to try. I myself will be picking up those skills up soon.

Well i try soon, already use my free eden reset to full mado i already 142/45, but i forgot there are so many skills pre-requisite for Arm-Cannon and Neutral Barrier -_-u, so i dont know if get that skill for Chewing gum and Hawkeye or just leave the proc chance to Arm Cannon and knuckle Boost

[mildcontempt]

They're honestly not worth the skill point investment. I maxed both while I was leveling as an axe mech and they are "fun" but really bad. They last a very short time, require multiple components to use, don't do much damage, and can't really take much punishment. 

 

At best, I can see the bolt one helping with plant protocol things (assuming all hits count). Otherwise, pass. 

 

Maybe if they were more resistant, or themselves were plant protocol, or just lasted the full length as invulnerable. Currently, p bad, especially since you're gonna leave them after killing a mob. 

 

Lava Flow is a better proc skill than the FAWs IMO.

Thats why i asking if work in mado, because i just need those for proc my boots and my gum, i dont need for leveling, and Lava Flow only work in a non-mado mechanic.

[fuyukikun]

chewing gum works when you are attacked tho

Oh right, I keep forgetting that Lava Flow is verboten in mado. 

 

Why does gravity hate mechanics so damn much (inb4 someone complaining about performers.) 

 

What shield do you plan to use? If you use a mad bunny, the reflect should do the trick I imagine? 

 

I don't think the magic decoy would cast frequently enough tbh, but there's no harm in testing it out I guess -- neuralizers aren't that expensive /shrug

Well i have 3 shields, Valk, immune and of course Mad Bunny.

 

about Neuralizers, yeah maybe no expensive but when you are testing so many builds even troll builds (because Sakray is not open and when does is not all gears you need to test...) make you hurt so much, of course i have 9 mechanics (well 10 if i take my vending mechanic) for test, but i have free mesmerist NPC reset in all so...better use now before the new one coming (i hope...).

 

Anyway, still have 2 free skill points and still job 45, so 15 job points i was thinking in get again Axe Tornado and Lava Flow (will be 12 skills points and remain 5 skill points...)

[mildcontempt]

Well, I'll say this. Before you do reset, hang on for a week or so. Sakray should be going up soon, and during that you could at least test the frequency of the FAW's attacks to see if they'd even be worth it. 

[PervySageMarty]

Im not gonna rule it out before i use it myself. God forbid because it cant work well with your axe mech i should test it out to see how retarded it is for me.

After your 'quadruple vibrating rod' investment, I have no doubt you're willing to discover various retarded things for yourself. 

[PervySageMarty]

then allow me to test it out and see how much better off my Mechanic is.

FYI sakray is up now and there are enemies in the field south of pront, so you can test out if the FAW will be feasible for proccing effects.

FAW decoy can proc off your runaway magic buff, so i assume FAW snipe will proc off your other crap and it considers it an autoattack of yourself. Can someone test this?

[fuyukikun]

yes it is, it behaves like summon flora. in summon flora, the hydra attacks can proc CD in mouth and other autocasts.
magic faw can proc RM, physical faw can proc lucky day, hawkeye and SoL when attacking. and will proc bear power and muscle fool when being attacked (but it is stupid to let your faws being attacked since it will die very fast).

Thats interesting to note. I so far have only noticed monsters still coming to hit me even if its the FAW attacking them. Maybe there is something I am missing here.
