Cleric Skill Bash

Xylem · 12-04-2007, 06:27 AM

Hey i was wondering if this skill is effective.

I'm a full STR cleric, and i find that the skill only does 200% damage. The time it takes to cast the skill is about the same as doing 2 hits. When i maxed out the power skill thingy, I only do like 210% damage.

I'm not sure, but is the skill good with non-STR clerics?

Well since ur a str cleric it may not matter to you. However , if you are thinking of making a non str cleric then it can be a very handy skill. It all depends on how how you choose to empower it and what stats you get up on your cleric.

I hope this helped.

So what empower do you suggest for a non-STR cleric for the usage of BASH? or should i not use bash at all? lol XD. Since I'm guessing non-str clerics will mostly be partying and healing.

I'mnearly full end, so I increased it's power. Every bit helps when you're soloing.

I'm a END:SPR cleric, and bash is my next best friend after Heal...

i tend to duo (with a fighter), so my dmg helps the partying...

Bash on its own isnt terribly useful, as you mentioned, cash time and SP for about the same a crit...

But if u add 5 pts to dmg, it does 2.5x ur base dmg (license dmg doesnt stack with bash).. and if u crit.. that's 5x dmg... (but i'm a 25 SPR cleric so may i crit more)

but i still think it's pretty useful..

im a str/end cleric and i maxed bash power, and i use hammers... i guess if u are using hammers it would seem that relative to the attack time of hammers bash wouldnt seem that long, since hammers are slow but bash is always same speed... but im not very sure though, although i think my bash does more then double my damage... does anyone know the exact cast time of bash?

neat trick:

say you set auto attack to 1, bash to 2 and heal to 3.

2,3,w,1

heal cancels bash delay, walking cancels heal's delay, the auto attack takes place before you finish the first step.

clerics are the button mashers of fiesta.

Not really. Mages button mash way more.

err.. i dunno how well that cancel delay really works... or at least it doesnt seem to speed anything up for me... but an auto atk always follow up really quickly after a bash anyway... it's the casting time of the Bash (delay between the 1st auto atk and the bash) that you want to cut down on...

but anyway... if u disagree then thats cool.. but in my opinion, i've never thought the delay of bash caused the skill to be not worth it... (in another words, Bash is still worth getting even though there's a longer casting time..) but u have to empower it to at least +4 dmg...

one thing i want to add is.. bash is our most useful skill in PVP... seeing that our normal atk is rather slow and weak, a bash can take out a chunk of Mage or archer's health rather quickly before they can react to heal themselves..

we are no match for fighters since they've got waaaaaaay too much health.. but i've taken down a few mage/archers by spamming bash on them...

And agree with above, i think bash works more effectively if u use hammer
