Some Thoughts About Demon Skills

Hi there everybody ive finally managed to get most of the demon skill for my barb, and id like to let you know my point of view about some of em. From ecatomb you can check the effect of every skill but some skill worked differently from what ive though they would thats why im posting this.

Lets start.

Beast King Inspiration: the increase of 5% hp is just awesome, but what makes this skill even better is the RANGE-CHI-BUILDING ability they added. The gain is even better than what you can get from SAGE Li Tecnique. In the same period of time you can built a full 3 spark for every team member in range instead of just 1 for you.


Strenght Of The Titans: less powerfull than sage, but adds a squad buff of +5% critical rate that last 1 minute. This is very usefull in some situations, but also unconvenient in some other since this TIMED CRITCAL BUFF CANT BE OVERWRITTEN.

Into that minute range this critical buff WONT STACK to any other critical buff ive tested yet. But the worst thing is that i cant be overwritten also. So under this 1minute period, every critical rate modification wont affect the character.

This means that if you use D. Bestial Onslaught or D. Sunder right after Titans, you wont gain the whole affect of those skill critical wise.

Btw this is very usefull to use in squad situation, like in delta i always buff with titan while coming back from lure


Roar: this skill is awesome and its bramble effect make it worth use also in pvp situation LIKE TW, DUELS, CUBE and other pk instances. When you are facing high-APS character is a nice countermeasure to use. Now i dont recommend to tank a 3sparked 5.0 enemy, but when you are brambled it makes things a lot easier.

For the pve aspects of the skill, the bramble effect let you have even more aggro towards your enemy. Another nice thing of this skill is that combined with D. Sunder gives you a a 5 seconds of 100% damage refected, and every reflected attack is critical. That gives even more aggro, i use this combo while luring in delta.

The brambled roar effect + the critical damge from sunder skill + the bleed effect + the critical reflect is just perfect for a starting aggro when u have powerfull DD in squad.


Sunder: one of the reason i went demon. The only thing that made me think a little was the healing effect. Im not talking of the reduction from 4.8k to 4k HP, but im talking about the recovery effect of how you get this HP back. I dont know how the sage vesion works but the demon version gives you back 4k HP DIRECTLY, so is not an healing over time, like it used to be.

This is very helpful in situation in which you need some HP instantly. When you are close to die, is best to get a nice amount of HP directly instead of basically erase the next damage incoming since every hit could be the coup de grace if it overcomes the little healing over time.

The critical effect is awesome. The skill hit itself is critical and the rest of the attacks will be critical after it for 5seconds. Can be combined with other skills for devastating effects but cuz of the short range of time, the timing is very important.

Just to let you know, IT IS POSSIBLE to combined demon sunder with armageddon. You just need to be fast in the form switch and the activation of skill. If everything goes smooth you will be able to have 2 of the most powerfull skill we dispose to be critical.


Bestial Onslaught: another skill that made me fall in love with demon cultivation. Ranged, strong hitting and also evasion debuffing. This skill had everything a barb would love, what can you do to make it better ? Add a huge critical increase buff that last almost as long as the skill duration/cd.

I dont know why, but to me this skill has the tendency to be critical very ofter. Probably cuz the critical effect also affect the skill itself, just like sunder does. So you have about 40% chance of land a critical hit with one of the most powerfull skill we have. This my favourite pvp skill and many times is a 1shot kill against average geared players.

This skill combined with every other attack we have is a huge boost in our damage.



I love every demon skill with just the exception of 2 maybe, but i wanted to post this just to enlighten the ones who were wondering about these skills.
As i said at the beginning, the rest of skills effect is very easy to get and its not so difficult to be mastered or at least understand.

Long live the demon barb b:chuckle
