Lucky Break

I just got this skill tonight, and I'm happy to confirm that this skill works EXACTLY like it's written. You can cast it on the run, and it takes effect about 1 second after you cast it due to lag(similar to how mage sutra also lags a bit). It is not consumed by non-damaging skills like heal.

Most important part though...this works with our AOE gale force also. It automatically crits everything in it's aoe. W/ this skill I was able to solo pull FC and one-hit every mob w/ triple spark + lucky break + gale force.

It's also very easy to get consistent 3-5k crits on demand in pvp. So it made it very easy to bypass charms. This is all with a +6 Rank 8 and a 70 vit build.

In short it's very worth the 40-50 mil you need to spend on this skill.


As for the other 2 skills....I'm not really sure it's worth the coin. I guess I'll get 'em when I get 'em.

    Yes it is 1 min cooldown, duration seems to be shorter than 10 seconds but that is just from my observations and not from actual testing.

    One thing to note is that it CAN be purged. I've actually had it purged mid-cast while fighting an archer, and the spell did not crit when it went off. So those purge bows really **** us over :p

    i believe it is only the next hit that crits, but as burnout said that only lasts 10 seconds so, if you wait after the 10 seconds you wont have 100% crit then?

    What I find most interesting is the idea of lucky break + bramble rage (genie skill). basically a crit on demand range aoe, nice hmm?

    It's very nice but II still don't think it's worth it, specially if only works for the 1 next shot and that's it.

    Vix I think it means that you can cast your attack in 10 seconds, not that all attacks during those 10 seconds are gonna crit, but I could be wrong, since I don't have it. Let's wait for Burn to respond.

    EDIT: Wait... 1 minute cooldown?... ZOMGDNESS !!!!

    although I could use those 40m to refine my ***** higher

    I'm not sure about the healing 100 skill but the damaging one seems like it would work great in conjunction with Lucky break because of it's higher modifier.

    I'm up to the tt 3-3 part of my culti.

    So close yet so far. b:surrender

    yea thats what i said ^^ meaning after the 10 seconds it doesnt work anymore?

    but i still think its worth getting... especially for pvp and the 1 min cooldown o_o

    Does it take any chi?

    After I told myself I would never do cube culti again you remind me of aoe crits b:cry

    At least I should have an easier time with full rb on mystic. Even if the squad fails I can possibly save it b:victory

    I may never finish my psy's culti, but I wants that lucky break b:dirty

    Deciding where to put it on my skill bars will be the hard part since I don't want to have more than 2 on either side *kicks listless out*

    Or I could open the 3rd just for one skill and deal with mild OCD *twitch*

    I honesty don't know what you guys are talking about I think there skills and damage are just fine.

    I don't have r9 at all yet OR my 100 skills. Yet I have successfully killed every other class in the game 1v1 and a lot of them with much better gear than me.

    I've even killed a r9 BM and Archer 1v1 before.

    I don't even consider myself particularity skilled at all either. b:surrender

    Damage is ok and I'm using +6 R8 only.

    Ok...

    well it's a nice skill to have... but... I don't think it's worth nearly 2 D.orbs +10. Refining or adding better shards sseem much better for now, specially in a server where 3 people /Nyxyo, OpSy, nevenann control WBs and such

    I'm sorry but I'd rather have Thicket than ANY one of those skills mentioned above. (Except for maybe Stone Smasher but it's a toss up)

    And as far as our 100 skills go we have a free crit that can be used in conjunction with "Weeping Breeze" Which Deals Wood damage equal to your basic Magic Attack
    plus 250% Weapon Attack plus 3500. Reduces target's
    Max HP by 8% for 8 seconds.

    250% modifier with a 3500 addition that's a 100% crit chance with Lucky Break!!

    I'm sorry but we have some epic skills to pk people. Maybe not in one hit! But very fast all the same.

    Think about it this way. If you use rapid growth and lucky break before casting weeping breeze, it's basically equivalent to:

    "Deals damage equal to 200% base magic attack + 750% weapon damage + 7000. Lowers maximum hp by 8%. This skill cannot cause a critical strike"

    If used on a full hp target, the 8% hp is roughly equivalent to around 7000 raw damage. this is taking into account an average pvp target with 10k hp. In any case, even if it doesn't one-shot them they are 8% easier to take down after a charm tick.

    It can deal some impressive damage, albeit it's not streaky like BIDS where it'll either one-shot a lot of people or just tick a lot of people's charms.

    They actually can achieve more consistent and higher single-target dps/burst than wizards/psys most of the time. But yeah I agree that nothing can burst like a 20k BIDS crit, or a 12m 500% wep damage AOE, or a sutra combo where 2-3 spells end up critting. Those are the kind of things that make you go (WTF! WIZ OP!). But then the wiz sucks for the next minute or so (comparatively, at least).
