    Seriously man do you even realize casting would still exist? Assuming you get 1 spell per second, that's not even close to the damage a 5aps archer would do. b:bye

    You do realize for your nonsense to happen the archer would have to do more than 5 times less damage, right? I don't know that many archers that do 5 times less damage than a wizard's gush, equally geared ofc.

    If you can't see why magic classes tend to suck even at extremes then you should probably research a bit more before spewing wrong facts.

    (and besides, some spells and nukes like sandstorm and glacial snare have longer than 1 second cast time >_> gush has 3 sec cooldown too)

    I don't think you realize what 5 aps can do.

    Coupled with -20% HP, +30dmg, and -40% pdef I'm full aware. Good venos are rare and understandably. Idiots were told it's how to make money, and others are just in it for the free pets. In a squad of 5 5aps 'ers and 1 decent veno: none of those 5 ApSers is going to contribute as much dmg as the veno. Add a pet on a [?] and more so.
    Seen Illusion Lord dropping before first armageddon with two 5 aps BMs and nobody else in squad.

    Could be done with one.
    just fyi 5 aps compared to let's say, 2, means 2.5 times more damage, that's more than perma HF (veno's amplify doesn't even come close to that, either). Not to mention having 5 aps makes you able to perma spark, that's even more insane damage.

    You're ignoring that amp is on top of that, not in addition to. Sage Soul Degeneration alone takes 1/5 the HP from the target. In a squad of 6 5aps'ers all contributing equally: they simply cannot out do it. +30% amp on 4 of them is 120% again making it more than having a 5th 5aps'er.

    I'm just speaking from the veno's perspective. A proper Wiz, Psy build should be comparable as well. One problem is that a lot of these toons have opted for fail vit builds instead of maximizing their effectiveness.

    We're also ignoring AoE. Someone was arguing in the veno forums about -int venos being OP, but those -int venos can't compare in all situations: in fact they're very limited. For DD'ing on bosses: great. For AoE'ing or collecting drops: not.

    ps. Lets just ignore Yulk since I think we can all agree on fail there.

    I don't think Yulk can be classified as fail anymore. After reading his latest posts, I think we've discovered a new specimen.

    I believe he had conveniently suggested an adjective for people like himself. I think it was..."phail"?

    About cast time on wizzy, when we are talking about 5aps archers, the wizzy naturaly doesn't stop at -100% channel. I think when thinking about more -int than possible, we should also concider more -channel than possible. Something like this:

    Supposedly you can't do that on legit servers (posted the same video on a channeling thread a while back)

    I'll agree with you on the veno being good to assist bms, but I think your not really including the true raw dmg of fists with int. and say in a duo situation where a 5 aps bm is trying to decide who else to bring, a second 5 aps bm is the better choice. since the veno's bonuses really strongly rely on the amount of other dmg going onto the boss. And just something to throw out there, Deicides (most common 5aps claw) debuff -10% hp. So missing sage degen isn't that big, The 40% pdef debuff can also be matched with clerics debuff, or beaten by barbs devour (who also get strength of the titans). and veno pet on [?] though greatly out dmgs other classes at lower lvl. compared to 5aps its nothing.

    And then also I'll agree with you on the good veno's are rare. which is probably why most squads don't bother looking for them. as much.

    oh and you forgot to add bramble. which is another thing up for venos. :)

    Most archers with +5 and below bow can't hold aggro against me and I'm just a veno. b:chuckle Not all archers have the -20% hp debuff and none have the +30% amp either. Before most toons are even to the next boss: a good veno often already has it -20% hp and +30% dmg. The whole 5aps thing is way over rated. What happened was the cash shoppers / power players jumped on it ignoring all contributory factors (-20% hp, +30% dmg -40% pdef, etc). You can't replace a good veno, Wiz, etc. A veno passing sparks also contributes to the more frequent Heaven's Flame. People say that 5aps breaks the game. The 5aps is merely 1 aspect of the dps. It's high time other toons started exploiting their OP.
    You don't get it do you. We're not talking 5 aps as in aps fist or 5 aps daggers. This is 5 aps bow we're talking of: Archers already hit alot of spike dmg with bow; imagine hitting the same spike dmg 5 times a second.... This would way out dmg any Mage class as 5 bow hits >fast casting mage skill... Also note you haven't experienced this as bow can't go anywhere past even 2 aps <_<

    Also, I don't think 0 chan wizzies has higher potential dps than an archer/sin, seeing as casting times still exist.

    The bracers cannot have a quality of -0.10. Instead, they can have the quality of -0.05. Multiply by 3, you get -0.15, which is equal to the bracers Smobo posted (which has an inherent -0.10 and a set obnus of -0.15).

    yeah, the developers made it so that it's impossible to go below 6.67 Aps(0.15sec per attack), sigh... I wanted infinite Aps (just need that -.15 attack interval blessing :D) b:laugh

    -99% is still possible. All "no channel" stuff is -90% though, and after going over -99% it will go back to -90%.

    Well, there aren't many things they have fixed completely. Btw there was a post about this when the -138% chan video was first post on the forums. I couldn't find it anymore though.

    op or not, wont match any 5aps DD but will be more than any other wiz plus more skills used -> more sparks and 3 spark again. i dont know in how much time you can get 3 sparks with -89% channeling, anyone done that? xD
