Feint Skill

[Lauro]

Hello All... where here is another one of my posts so here i go

Do you guys think the "Feint" skill deserves a second version of it ? "Feint II" i mean compare to the other skill this one seem kinda weak (keep in mind im posting this BEFORE THE PATCH 1.18a no damage upgrade) , i do like to use it and i love in all MEELE classes (archer included).

Whats your opinion on it !?

Not really. Feint already is even in power to tier II 500TP WSs...i don't think a Feint II is needed...at least for now.

Feint is probably quite competitive up to R50 as it is. It was nerfed from being only 250 TP because it was too good, though to be honest that was back when accuracy was much worse.

It's data mined. The ability is in the game but not currently obtainable. It'll probably be made available some time in the future when the level cap is increased.

Personally, I liked feint even before 1.18a; It was one of those "I missed on WS (again)? Fine, take a Feint then." type of moves, good for guaranteed damage.

Now, as for Feint II, I don't think that we need one, per se, but it would be entirely useful. I think if there is one that gets added at a lower level (perhaps 40ish?), that it should keep in the same line of damage as Feint, but perhaps add in a debuff (- to monster evasion, for instance, feels right). That way it turns into a more utility skill, rather than just used for damage.

Feint is probably one of the worst Lancer skills. The only good thing about the skill is that it never misses, but with the new accuracy buff you won't need this skill.

Also it does a lot less damage than other Weaponskills. I tested it on Roadrunners (55-59) and Feint did ~440 damage while Skewer II and Moonrise II did ~650 damage.

Oh by the way, you can also forget your Doomspike II unless you fight a lower ranked mob, because Chaos Trust did a liitle bit more damage (on 2000TP) vs Doomspike II (3000TP) and when the enemy was below 20% it did 50% more damage than Doomspike II.

Feint costs 500 TP vs. Skewer II and Moonrise II which cost 1,000 TP...

If Feint is doing ~440 and the other two are doing ~650, Feint is far better for damage:TP ratio.

The accuracy buff was significant, but you will still miss and Feint will still be there.

Feint doesn't even find a place on my bar, and fated your argument only makes sense if you are missing on a regular basis, which most are not anymore.

I been sticking with Heavy Trammel, Twisting Vice, and now Leg Sweep as my normal TP skills, that added with using Pierce, heavy/full thrust when not on cooldowns and keeping InvII/CiAII up at all times and using buffs, I dont find I have time to use much of anything else anymore.
