Demon spark

Hello guys,

I recently got my Duskblade to 89 and decided to go demon. When I found out reaper form stacked with the genie skill windshield. I wanted to use reaperform with demon spark for the aps.

I completed my culti and come to find out that demon spark does NOT give 25% attack rate as it says in the description it instead gives 25% CRITICAL rate. But this is mentioned nowhere at all. b:sad

Is this on purpose or is this a glitch? because I mostly choose demon for the spark and now I didn't get what i should. Does anyone know more about this or even IF pwi mentioned this anywhere at all?

I tested it on Archer, Barb and Assassin and they get attack rate as it says in the description I think we are the only one that get a different demon spark. I really hope it still gets changed to attack rate and not crit since we already have a buff to increase crit.b:surrenderb:surrender

    Sounds like an undocumented spark feature...

    ... like the Archer 2 spark eruption having a purify.

    This is good to know. Ty for sacrificing yourself :D

    I suppose it's intended, meaning the description in the skill screen is wrong. This is why it's better to wait/ask for information of those who dug into it. If you are unhappy, you should try to make a ticket though. Since the description is wrong ingame, you got a fair chance to get it changed.

    And no, the tripple sparks aren't generic as you think. Veno spark is different on both tripple sparks. Among the physical classes, I recall the weap multiplier being different as well.

    this.

    take it from someone who got screwed on demon / sage on my cleric due to server issues, gm's have no way to fix this. All they're gonna say is tough luck, do the celestial culti and buy a schism mold.

    Even though demon spark gives no attack rate buff I came to like the crit buff now.

    Because before I had demon spark I used distant cloud(35% crit) after double spark and now I don't have to use that. And that skill had a awful long cast too. So in de end it is only 4 seconds and not 6 seconds and the demon spark crit lasts the full 15 seconds.
    Just a little downside though, sins, archers and barb do get 25% attack rate and we only 20 with reaperform.
    They have crit buffs that gives more than 25%. b:cry


    Now another thing about the demon spark, well there were more classes with the problem but still...

    The spark makes NO SOUND and I really liked the sound.

    Yes, demon spark crit icon is the same like other crit buffs. So It is not going to stack.

    Somehow I do not like 25% crit chance. I would like that Devil spark gave attack speed . Maybe update the client to fix it. Because duskblade without attack speed become useless against his main rival assassin.

    Havent been in game for 2 months...

    Youre not gonna tell me they made a new APS class right ? Or why would you want attack speed instead of crit rate ?

    Crit rate instead of attack speed sounds great to me now that the era of APS is behind us. (except for archers maybe)
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    Does demon spark crit and distant cloud stack?

    No Crit doesn't stack nor overwrite so if you use distant cloud for 35% crit and spark the second after you would have the 35% for a few seconds and then lose it. And you would have never gotten the 25% crit of spark.

    So there is no way to use those 2 in a combination



    Anyways, aps still benefit you in many things so i'd still like the aps for demon spark or at least more crit because now any demon melee class has more aps and more crit and i find that hard to swallow

    I hope this was intended and not a glitch I love it, anyone going aps on these I laugh at you aps is dead and in the past.

    When you counter, you don't let them cut you...
    When you protect someone, you don't let them die...
    When you attack, KILL!!!!

    No 5.0 w/ a sword is a bit disheartening, but I'll live I guess.
    Also, did somebody say earlier than Archers get purified when they x2 spark?

    REALLY?

    F-ck Archers! b:angry

    i think its painfully obvious at this point that this is a skill spam LA class. Its buff increases skill damage ffs......

    People said the same about assassin based on chill of the deep. And it's taken a looooooooong time (and many nerfs) for that to come to pass.

    Though yes, I totally agree this class is supposed to skill spam. b:chuckle
