if you really want to test, try to aggro the scc boss (hm preferably) to the wall, and count how long do you need to step shot kill it

then do it again with pure mag spam, you will be amazed

I actually did a long time ago. Perhaps too long ago, even made a video of it. It took slightly less than a minute with arrow spamming behind a wall.

Nowadays I do Final Shot + Magnum Spam against the Doppleganger mainly because I have 110% crit. Thing is, it is absolutely annoying to magnum spam it without Final Shot. Water Cannon devours my HP/MP, Wind Blast really annoys the crap out of me. Granted, it is better than arrow spam now given the correct circumstances.

Isn't this just continuous zero shotting? o-o;;

@katanaboy4

It pretty much is. The only difference is that because of elf loading time, they can fully load the skill while the enemy is pushed back and get to a full aim before recovery provided you walk towards the enemy.

i'd rather pet revolve with mag/crash spam then risk a 90% shot. :-x

[TehShinegami]

i do the same thing but with xbow+horse+magnum

[ZhuSeth]

@mfs123 with human's range buildup matching the elf's load time, shouldn't it be equal?

[ZhuSeth]

This just looks like zeroshotting though?

@jc2pb4jc2tk2

Hmmm, well the thing is that while loading and aiming magnum at point blank, I can shoot two or three shots before firing magnum shot, depending on lag. This is a variance of 400% to 600% damage with each arrow having a 30% chance to critical. (With a 90% chance of ONE shot criticalling out of 6, placing the total damage to 550% to 750% out damage magnum shot). Not saying that it's better, just more reliable. Non crit magnums are disheartening ):

[jc2pb4jc2tk2]

@mfs123 a wall is not completely necessary, a horse is good enough...

and no, normal attacks really won't exceed the mag shot damage scale in adv or hm mission

providing 150max damage, crit 1, a normal crit shot will do around 230 damage on a spear lancer (and less than 100 without crit)

a mag shot crit will do 1200- 1500+ which is an instant kill....

it is all about the %%%....not to mention it multiplies the crit %% as well

@jc2pb4jc2tk2

It does kill bow but about the DPS, I did a bit of the math (probably off because of my inexperience with stats) but because of critical hit, step shooting deals more damage than magnum shot 70% of the time (provided you have capped critical) because you can shoot twice before firing a magnum shot. Not to mention Magnum Shot spamming needs a wall or frozen blast to execute fully.
