Hi guys, quick question:

 

 

 

I was reading around other servers and I have noticed that people mentioned that it is now possible to change Dragon Breath's element based in the use of different runes. For example, by using Turisus, Dragon Breath can now change its element to Holy. Is this accurate in our server as well?

 

 

 

I was also wondering, is RK DB build still viable nowadays? Or are you guys going more for a Ignition Break/Hundred Spears type of build? I know that it depends a lot on the player's style but I wanted just to know your opinions about it!

 

 

 

Thank you!!

yes you can change elements

everything is viable

physical RK build is good too because Ignition Break got buffed as well. Its good that DB now can get Holy property against shadow (or shadow with Lux rune)

But IMO, having DB build is kinda forcing you to focus your equipment on 1 side which is to increase DB dmg itself. While physical RK has alot of access to use ASPD and Atk% builds which i can share equipments with other chars that use the same physical build.

every build will end up getting specialized gears

Hundred Spear also got a huge buff, I do 80% more damage with it after the update, so It's not completely useless anymore   Before the update, I don't know why anyone would use it, as it was not worth the 60 SP cost, nvm the long casting.

I think DB RK got a bit of a resurgence after the recent patch. 

DB element can now be changed from Fire-->Holy or Shadow,  Water--> Ghost or Neutral

It allows DB RKs to at least be able to handle Monsters or MVPs with elemental resistance from Fire and Water.

 

To put into perspective, my lvl 179 RK had a real hard time doing the daily quest/grind at Abyss GH being restricted to just water and fire element DB.

Now, I can use Turisus Rune to change Fire DB's element to holy which is the most ideal for the most mobs in Abyss GH as well as Magma Dungeon 3.

 

Lux Rune also boost a lot of stats which increases DB dmg like increasing melee/ranged dmg, MHP and MSP by 30%.

Although it also changes Fire DB's element to shadow which overrides the element change of Turisus Rune so you can't use Lux Rune if you want your DB to deal Holy element.
