Weapom Skill Adjustments: What we have and what we need

Apocalypse is amazing simply because of the disgusting low manning and soloing opportunities it brings to the table.

yea right... You're only gonna do DC-T and even then you got huge downtime and even may end up with depleted mp. Cata do not make solo better. A DRK takes 100-200 dmg so the 300-600 drains from WS will only sustain you for a short time. Solo means no buffs! It's prob better to go /SAM, save TP, put up dread spikes, drain2, hack it down as fast as possible with a high dmg WS and hope for the best.

Actually, solo means you're probably DRK/RDM, so you have your own Cure III, Stoneskin, Phalanx, Aquaveil, Blink, and Enelement spells (except Enlight).

what i want is a change to great sword skill shockwave. (i know its an old one but ive only just strted lvling great sword and i noticed this one in particular could be better)

first off they should change it from radial to cone, like a breath spell seeing as you only swing the great sword in front of you. second i've noticed that the sleep effect doesn't always land and the tp effect says it only effects the duration. ..so 300% would be full duration...if the sleep actually hits! so i think the sleep effect should be 100% on non-dark/sleep resistant mobs. finally i think it should be made ranged so that once you sleep the monster you dont just hit it and wake it right back up.

if they made these changes i think it could pick up more use when soloing if you get aggro seeing as dark knight doesn't get sleepga, say if you aggro 3 monsters you could shockwave them, kill one then sleep the second with the spell when it wakes back up and move onto the third one.
