About soul shatter...

So today me and a few friends were having fun dueling. After a few btls, we went to roll a TT. Then it suddenly hit me: Soul shatter didnt kick in...ever. I must've done over 50 shots and opponents didnt get their buffs cleared once.

Im starting to wonder if this skill is really worth it in pvp as opposed to, lets say, stronger and better crits like the tt100 xbow. It seems completely unreliable. Battles i lost by little i could've won easily had i hit harder, which would be a certainty wielding a tt100. Soul shatter obviously would've made a diference on the end result, but it simply didnt kick in. The chance of it working seems to be smaller than i thought. I mean, even if you make it work on 1 opponent during a big fight, be it mass pk or TW, chances are you wont see it right away in the beggining of the fight nor against every opponent.

Anybody that PvP/PKs often and/or had the opportunity to wield both weapons mind giving their overview? Im starting to doubt my bow was worth the cost ><

    its a 5% chance, so ask BMs and barbs feel about their zerk at times XD.

    I've been noticing the purge happen now and then. You CANNOT actively rely on it however.

    Now then, there is an advanced soul shatter from upgrading your heaven shatter at the palace of nirvana. That should be a bit more reliable.
    Navarre was your everyday veno, until she learned her true form. Now she's fox walloping and purging over and over again.. all for a deep stinging, head hunting, wind pushing Assassin. Will there be inner harmony and myriad rainbows? But of course! Yuri&Lemon Find it on Fanfiction XD "Discovering Sanctuary" Chapter 2 is up ^_^

    proof that pwi hates archers. ty devoted for shating that with us ^^
    I don't care how old or young you are, how small your **** is, how much of a nerd irl you are or how depressed you are that you never will get laid. There is no reason to act like an A-hole to everyone on an mmorpg. Its a shame that I have to take time out of my day to tell people "stop being an A-hole". So I end with this, if your acting like an A-hole, and some one tells you your being an A-hole chances are your being an A-hole.

    If you really want to see purge go off barrage multiple targets like in GV, all you will see is a purple cloud of purge xD.

    But in PvP you should NEVER rely on purge going off, the only Archer I know that can activly rely on Purge is Embustro, it seams almost every time he shoots i get purged :<

    PLUS Soul shatter ---> advanced sould shatter on a recast lunar. Has a higher chance for purge.

    It occasionally procs in TW if you're using barrage on like 30 ppl...than maybe 1 cleric gets debuffed just as he dies >.<

    Other than that what Devoted said, it only procs if someone has 5% left hp or if they never had buffs to begin with.

    Doesnt even proc in pve on bosses when u need it b:sad

    TT 100 xbow is better than the 95 bow...A better comparison would be HH99 gold bow compared to the 95 bow. They equal out untill plus 12 refine then the 95 bow will hit harder.

    Just depends what you like, the 95 bow attacks a whole lot faster than the xbows...
    So the Dead guy says "LOL you fail, you didnt even one shot me"

    OMG After reading that post i feel terribly wasting coin on Lunar bow.
    The only thing i do not regret is that i haven't used a single orb in refining it, got to +7 with mirages only, took me about 120 of em, saved a lot of $$$.

    still a good bow tho. -interval and +dex is nice. besides, it refines more than TT90 because it's a higher grade.

    Elena Costel: Noooo... I don't want to have a dirty affair with Lady Legerity...

    At +10 the lunar bow does more dps than a tt100 xbow +10. The soul shatter is not something that you should rely on at all but if it procs it makes the fight 3 times easier. I would say it is a significant contributing factor in about 1 out of every 4 or 5 kills.
