Just wondering what the best sin build would be for emp breaking and what the best weapon would be?  I feel like back in the day crit was the best since it ignored defense, but I understand that's no longer a mechanic of crit so perhaps a DA build would be superior?  Also, according to a DB the emp is holy element, is that true and if so, would a orc skeleton carded weapon do more damage on an emp?

 

Thanks for any insight!

Emperium only takes 1 dmg per hit now. DD DA is ok coz you get the multi hit benefit from DA, but Katar DA would be slightly better due to higher aspd.

Oh got it, awesome, glad to know I don't need any special weapons, just a ton of aspd lol

Katar offhand doesn't hit emps.

 

But dagger offhand actually does.

What Ashukel meant was that a katar sin with snake hat will be better (DA with right hand), not the offhand dmg.

Double Dagger with DA is better than Katars for the fact that the offhand hits the Emperium, while Katar doesn't. Since Emps are renewal like, they only take only take 1 damage per tick.

 

Lets say at the moment you can easily 184 aspd with a katar on, thats 3.13 hits per second with just the katar. 6.26 hits per second maximum, with an average of 4.69 using DA10.

 

Dual Daggers at 180 aspd (just as easy to get) is 5 hits per second with just the two daggers. 7.5 maximum with an average of 6.25 using DA10.

 

Higher aspd on both still has DD DA beating out Katar DA, so :v

If EMP does only take 1 damage per tick, why not atack it with no weapon? May be better for some classes

Sins are crap in renewal woe.

How do you expect to live on the Emp without a cranial.

[Namrok]

how muh HP have Emp on restart? 

 

 db is say what 100, but i think a 10 knights and sins can take more then 100 hits per minute

 and i see how they try to break it for few mins

Right now assassins suck at everything but with DA DD they are the best emp breakers in the game. So if you're truly looking for a best breaker build ONLY then you are interested in a) attack speed (emp takes 1 damage per hit no matter what so you must maximize hits) and survival as everything is going to be casting on the emp to kill you. 

 

Something like:

 

80-99 AGI (you just want the fastest ASPD possible)

80+ VIT (Ideally you hit 100 with job/gear to get status immunity)

STR/DEX only as critically needed for leveling

 

The upside is you can find yourself at an emp with 2 dozen other people and you will get the last hit on the emp very very often (at least that has been my experience in WoEs so far) and you can break an emp solo incredibly fast. With all that VIT and the right gear(poo poo, switching armor/garment) you can survive on most emps until you break even with no cranial. Weapons are cheap! Dual fortune swords or dual quad female thief bug MGs are all you need. 

 

The downside is the only impressive thing you can do outside of WoE is vanish any plant ridiculously fast. You attack very fast but entirely rely on your weapon for ATK + lack the dex for most high level mobs.
