I've been around the block more than once. It's almost mathematically impossible for Benthic to be weaker than Heavy Strike with SA, much less over 100% weaker. Either the mob you were fighting is strong to piercing or something is wrong.

when i 1st got to use heavy strike it sucked but once i got my blue magic skill capped i hardly ever miss now
tho it is retarded when it does miss when u use CA and efflux
Eyeballing, stop it.
I'm kind of ambivalent about the nerf now. Originally I was super pissed, but it's not as bad as I thought. I had to put some extra accuracy gear on, but meh, the damage is still great. I just wish they would let us set higher accuracy bonus tiers. For voidwatch, I'm always tanking on BLU so I usually focus on cures/flash/voke/hate spell instead of damage anyway.
finally people who dont miss 90% :P
night if you are so intelligent GO TEST! come give us the results after you actually use the spell because other then telling me my posts are wrong you haven't been contributing to finding out anything. just complaining ;P i like the spell yet im still trying to find out about it.
in WoE conflux#9 fighting amhuluk mobs, heavy strike only missed 2 times out of 12 and i cant remember the dmg cuz i was weakened and trying not to die (because it takes 30seconds for the auto-raise +more with all the smn lag) but i remember one of the casts did 600dmg. i was mostly using Sudden Lunge which was stunning them 5-7 seconds ^^ that spell only missed completely once of maybe 20 casts. these are not EP mobs btw. 8.6k Exp at the end.
The accuracy sucked on ep/dc mobs in full str gear it missed enough to have me want to just quit using it where as on the same mobs Aura statues BT didn't in full agi. I love CDC to BT for darkness just my experience hunting for the skill-up earring for a few nights run. I swapped HS to using a str-acc build and didn't have an issue after that still just dreading anything high eva an IT++.....

maybe your numbers on Heavy Strike are wrong? it is still very new. does Loki's effect Typhoon during SA? because atm critdmg+ is the biggest damage factor.Quote:
4fTP 60% AGI
vs.
2.25fTP 75% STR
I think we can all conclude you don't know what you're doing.
