I was at Galloperas from 80~115. I found snow charge to be more useful because of the damage. You don't need to knock them back if you use the 2 raised sides to snipe them (I say snipe, but you still take magic damage...better then touch). Stand underneath the upper platform, and you can snipe both platforms.

Snow charge because you should be able to KB at your level without it so its not a big deal.

You don't really burn pots at gallos anyway (unless you DON'T use one of the platforms at the left or right, every though there's no reason not to...) so snow charge is better. SKB won't really save you any pots, and snow charge will help you kill faster.

It helps killing speed tremendously, much more then a 10% bonus in damage would at that level. and another thing, you can't assume a Gallops map will always be open, its a VERY popular training spot, even in Demethos.

Trust me when KBing a gallo it feels like you can steadily train What I did was 3 in skb one level then next level 2 in skb then 1 in snow. So every other level 1 in snow SKB is really useful .

and snow charge can slow targets if i am right or not and add some % in dampage to mobbing well then combo smash them all for last kill then move on

Ehhh, personally I went with Snow Charge. Body pressure+Drain was all the potion reservation I needed. If they're neutralized they can't hit you with touch damage to begin with.

I'm assuming that more KB = less getting knocked back by their matt = more attacks per minute?

[/quote] I find that Gallos still cast their magic at you, and will keep doing so until dead, if you let them have the chance to do it even once. So even if you've got SKB on, you're not going to cancel their magic animation with it. I chose Snow Charge because I could slow them, and do even but a bit more damage. That's just my preference, though.

i can 100% kb mobs of 12...at 8x-9x, i think you would hit high enough on those mobs with 100 combo but i agree with exius

[/quote] umm while i trained my aran from 83- 121 at gallops ... there would be 5/13 ch's taken at max, unless it was a 2x event i do think SKB is better though, because you don't get knockbacked nearly as much once you KB them
