Onion cut

For the longest time now (ever since i got it) i have tried to figure out exactly what it is that the weapon skill Onion cut is supposed to do. Now i have finally given up and in a last ditch effort to find out i come here and ask.

What is it that Onion cut is supposed to do?

No idea.

+1 looking for this answer. ; ;

I read a long time ago something that SE posted:

"Certain abilities were intended for PvP and therefore might seem useless now."

Not an exact quote but was something like that, so possibly Onion Cut was desgined for PvP.

Just a guess.

Your character gets teary eyed after using it..

im wondering as well, time will tell O.o. Btw anyone find that rage of halone abil has any value?

I like Rage of halone. Its average damage is already slightly better than Howling Vortex (like 5% more dmg), that is by current best shot. But the casting time is a bit tricky...the best is to use when you see a monster reading heavy damage skills so it will get boosted if the damage comes during casting. I often use it against frogs, gobling and imps.

Also i find Halone very funny if the monster die before it going out...its like you "fart" all the stored energy lol! Only thing i don't like at Halone is that the animation doesn't match the skill...a dark smoke? Come on! Halone is Ice element! I HAD to be comething light blue! And if possible with ice animation! Would be much cooler an iceberg popping from ground and stabbing the monster from below! That's what i would call "Rage of Halone" =P

Anyone figure this out yet or is onion cut doomed to obscurity?

I bet you have to get level 90+ with full onion gear (including weapon and shield) before it becomes an awesome ability that deals 9999 damage every strike. Before that though, it's a piece of crap WS.

Yeah perhaps someone should try to bring this to the general discussion board under a more broad topic like "Weapon Skills that seem to have no purpose" =/

It seems that Onion Cut has an increased enmity modifier. I might be wrong though, someone test it out vs. other GLA weapon skills.
