LolRudra's

How does the head effect CF?

http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Climactic_Flourish

It basically makes the main hit of Rudra's (most of the damage) a crit with +20% damage.

If a THF had 120 DEX in their Rudra's gear and capped fSTR with 225 TP (Fusetto +2 and Moonshade), they'd get 549 crit base damage after fTP, and then another 120 crit base damage from DEX for a total of 669.

If a DNC has 120 DEX in their Rudra's gear and capped fSTR with 225 TP (same setup), they'd get ~659 crit base damage thanks to the AF3+2 head.

So it gives pretty much the same damage bonus to Rudra's that un-enhanced Sneak Attack gives. I can't tell what enhanced sneak attack gives, because I can't find any darned testing on it. xD

lv85 Twashtar done! 7/21/11 :D

Congrats! It's a fun toy!

Excerpts from today's Apollyon NE:

Dhalmels - CF Average around 2k. Non-CF around 1k. They never used Berserk (I was waiting for it Q.Q).
[08:43:08]Byrth uses Rudra's Storm.
[08:43:08]The Troglodyte Dhalmel takes 3006 points of damage.

Roc mobs (Piercing weak, but high defense):
[08:11:34]Byrth uses Rudra's Storm.
[08:11:34]The Bialozar takes 2431 points of damage.
[08:11:39]Byrth uses Rudra's Storm.
[08:11:39]The Bialozar takes 2819 points of damage.
[08:11:43]Skillchain: Darkness.
[08:11:43]The Bialozar takes 3382 points of damage.

Big Black Mandy (Piercing Weak)
[08:06:50]Byrth uses Rudra's Storm.
[08:06:50]The Borametz takes 2979 points of damage.

Other stuff is generally around 1k non-CF Rudra's and 2k CF Rudra's. On High Defense stuff, maybe 700 non-CF Rudra's and 1.5k CF Rudra's.

My "lolwat?" shot of the moment:
[23:04:54]Byrth uses Rudra's Storm.
[23:04:54]The Gyroscopic Gears take 4135 points of damage.
He's piercing weak, but I think that still qualifies. It was closing a skillchain, too.

sorry for the bump, but just recently finished daka+2 but I was under the thought that rudra's > rudra's made darkness. Or is that only when you do evis > rudra > darkness > rudra > darkness.

a tag along question/comment for some reason 95% of the time my chat log doesnt show the darkness sc, I can only tell by sound and animations. There a way to make it show more reliably? I tried even turning all filters off but to no avail. Or is it caused by gear blinking?

It does to darkness when done rudra->rudra

And yes, it is due to your blinking, use blinkmenot or increase the time between gear swaps to see damage

So what atmas are you guys using for Rudras?

At the moment I've been usin Apoc/RR/GH, although I think RR/SS/GH would be better. Thoughts?

RR/SS/Apoc has been my best combo seen the highest averages with those 3, not sure if GH is really needed thanks to climatic fluorish which you would be using with rudras anyway, and even then those 3 are hard to replace any with GH.
