Hercules! Which skill to pick!

[vaesolis]

shock chain is by far best in solo PvE as well, the extra dmg dealt from the debuff makes it end up dealing as much dmg as your delphic, its simply way too much dmg to pass up

uhm it probably depends on your stats and which boss you fight.. but for me the extra damage is noticeable but far from "must have" and definitely not making my weaker skills hit like delphic. slow on the other hand lets my knight doublehit for 3 rounds (doesnt always work cause of the 30% only, but good enough for me) and can be used at start and again at the end of a transformation.

as a mage, you can awaken after a thunderer slow proc, shock chain, and then hit 4~5 skills on the boss while he's debuffed from the shock chain. each of those skills ends up doing additional dmg due to the debuff, and if you add up the additional dmg dealt by those 4-5 skills and add that to the initial shock chain's dmg, shock chain ends up doing as much dmg as your delphic. i didn't mean to imply that it caused each of your skills to deal dmg equal to your delphic

no 1.
because normally you dont need to decrease your opponent's mdef to kill him with delphic thunder wave.

For crit users shock chain may help much coz u may be able to kill the opponent even with a non crit delphic and that makes it OP

Got my puppy today i decided to go with -mdef. Overall i think is better pick we will see

[CenterPice]

depends what class u are and for what u want to use mostly the sylph for pve (dungeons....) Thunder strike if u want do more in necro or sky trial and Shock chain if u want to play pvp arena... cw bg...

30% slow effect is too low or does not work at all... you cant gain any double hit with it

[adetayo]

with the 30% slow, seems like i only get double hits once out of the 3 turns it's up. personally, would say the -mdef is better.

ok, misunderstanding then.
as knight you have no other way to slow though (except of mire but who has that anyway...), and if you use the trick to prevent ur castbar from going black you can usually doublehit with it most of the time. still i agree that -mdef is overall more useful in many situations. also once knights get their advanced skills, things will change again cause we gonna have a good no-cd slow. but by then i hope that they will let us choose which sylphskills to replace...

Shock Chain doesn't have effect on wb?
