[quote] hyperfire7 : Final Charge is a useful skill, it's just that all the other skills in the 2nd job skill book are more useful. [/quote] bp only gives some dmg, my aran gets much more exp at lower ascent than others since i mob all the wr in corner and combo smash the hell out of em, whil you people are hitting 2-4 at a time, im hitting 10 :D Keeping bp lvl 1 or 11 or whatever is much more worth it in my opinion. drain smash tripple mastery need to be maxed, but i like charge over bp :P

sfphil : Yes, this is coming from the perspective of a 3rd job Aran. BP along with C-Step are both crucial skills in maintaining great control once you get to higher level mobs like Skeles/ToT. You'll regret maxing Final Charge over BP.

[/quote] Coming from another high lvl aran its useful in ToT lower lvls to group them up and then destroy them with pentril and whatnot.

[/quote] In addition to what this guy said, BP also helps keep combos up and it helps you avoid damage. Edit: And, 10mobs is more than enough since our max hit is 12mobs.

sfphil : And you're probably consuming much more potions that other Arans. You rarely take touch damage with BP whereas Final Charge is just a weak rush skill. You never even encounter a mob of 10 monsters+ on a single platform level. Plus, your C-Step will often be interrupted as you take touch damage from monsters where others can just pass on by.

[/quote] Quick thing, c-step + charge > c-step + bp Also the hp pot thing, incase you didnt know for some reason drain makes hp pots useless o-o i use like 20 hp pots in an hour, jsut keep drain on and if you can control arans good (not saying you cant) then you need much less hp pots and mp pots.

And once we corner the mob, there's no need for charge. Edit: I think that you're forgetting that we need to do our attacks before Charge. And BP further reduces the amount of pots one uses.

[quote] sfphil : [quote=sfphil]bp keeps combos up. charge makes killing faster. [/quote] Charge does NOT make killing faster, it's not even meant to be an attack skill and actually LOWERS your DPM. Lv21 Final Charge: 72% damage and attacks 10 monsters. Maxed Final Charge: 90% damage and attacks 12 monsters. Here's the problem: -You rarely encounter a mob consisting of 10+ on a single platform. -18% damage difference is BARELY anything. Why waste the extra 9 SP on a skill that only gives an 18% damage increase, and only totaling in 90% damage? You can only execute Final Charge after you perform your triple slash move, while Body Pressure theoretically makes a monster's touch damage negligible in 1 Overswing/Full Swing/Triple Swing attack. And by the time you get to high levels (you should know also since you claim you have a high leveled Aran), most of you mob die in 1 or 2 Overswings, so no need to use Final Charge.
