I have a question to all you slayers out there. I was watching some korean vids and an asura was doing mad combos with a zanpaktou (however you spell it). He had aerial slash as a main poking tool and once he got them, he goes into some pretty nice combos. How is it working for you guys for those of you who bought it? I just hit 15 but it costs 100 sp so I can’t try it out yet.
Also who is still up for an srk session saturday (or sunday)? Post some times to see when we can get a good group going for some pvp sessions.
just keep in mind this is my opinion at the time and i haven’t experience high lvl play but keep in mind that battle mage seems like the way to go for pvp so i highly suggest that class.
It’s because Gunners can’t mash anymore and people actually have good skills to deal with other classes. PvP before 30 is just a retarded scrub fest that isn’t very fun; it gets fun as fuck once people hit 30.
I think Phase Shift 1 is fine early on, but you need to focus on maxing other skills first. And yes, max Mana Shield as much as you can (although only Battle Mages can truly max the skill out).
EDIT: loooool
I’m the best DFO troll ever. Check out this screenshot.
Oh man, the under 30 pvp thing is so true. I used to hate pvping with grappler, but now that I have one up to 31, its awesome. Pretty much any random hit I can combo into a throw, and once they get one throw off grapplers just toss people around for huge damage.
i just got my brawler to 30…well 31 now. Once i get my points into that tatsumaki kick thing like… man it’s gonna be awesome. Even when I hit 30 I felt so much stronger being able to bash people’s faces in like stone cold steve austin lol oh also i’m gonna lvl muses upper cut and the shoulder attack thingie so i can do cool air juggles into face smashy
Is there a tried and true Mechanic build for the DFO, PvP focused of course?
Looking around this thread and DFOSource (thanks for the link) I’ve seen what seems to be the standard monk build till we get the “priest patch” and some of the things the Korean version has. Is there a standard like that for Mechanics, I’ve skimmed the thread a little so if there’s a build that was posted here sorry for the repetitive question.
I’m actually doing a true mechanic build for pvp right now. The only things I’m using out of my basic tree are the practically manditory few skill points in the inportant melee skills (1 in punisher for the invinicible throw attack, just enough to get bbq for an armor attack, and 1 in windmill for spacing), and a point into grenades just for some added protection. I’m at 20, and I’ve got people swearing at me left and right, and I haven’t even gotten what makes most of the build work from how I’m looking at it (namely remote det and high chance of double bombers). I have no idea if theres a standard build or not, but I also don’t really care THAT much, I’m just making sure I get all the skills that look cool first and worry about the details later.
I got 200 sp left on my asura because I just hit class change. I was thinking of getting aerial chain slash because I saw some vids of some guy as an asura using it as a combo opener and poke (with a zanbato). I didn’t get to try it as a slayer so what’s your guys thoughts on aerial cahin slash? Does it help a lot in pvp?
edit: I was thinking of getting guard, but I was dodging and backstepping more often. How often do you guys use guard?
I can’t say for sure as I don’t really like playing as slayer much, but I can say I’ve NEVER seen gaurd used. In theory, I could see using it to block random stuff and punish, but you have to keep in mind that basically every class has a move they can cancel into that counts as a grab and will beat your gaurd, or they will just take potshots at you from range and do reduced damage for free. Plus I have no idea what the recovery on gaurd looks like. On the other hand, I think its a 10 sp skill, so it might be worth it for a gimmick.
Yea I was thinking the same thing. I only saw one person use guard in a useful way and that was when he was hit by the launcher cannon with a delayed explosion, he guarded the second explosion. I either use backstep cancel anyways to gtfo or super armor if I see them start something up.
About some pvp sessions tomorrow anyone wanna play noonish? It can change because I sort of wanna see Season Beatings but if you see me on message me. I still need to break in my asura.
Aerial Chain Slash opens up a lot of combos both in the air and to enemies getting up.
Also note that all of these combos are for BERSERKERS. But you can replace anything that is an ending with whatever you want. Raging Fury is a launcher and Bloodlust catches (grabs) people. I am letting the Frenzy combos stay in the post if any Zerkers are looking for combinations Have Fun!
Note that some of these require you have Upper Slash at Rank 10 and not the recommended rank 5, and that using a Katana might make it easier to get the aerial chain slash combos off.
They kinda get worse. There are tag-team mobs that do nothing more then have super-armor bolstered moves that like juggling you and doing almost 1,000 damage in short order. There are also mobs that can do OFF SCREEN blizzard casts, that will freeze you leaving you open for the 20 mobs in the room to beat on you.
For Dungeon Fighter Questions and Community hit up DFOSource!
Yea I’ll be on at that time too, so we can have pvp sessions around that time if anyone is interested.
@ Miz: Thanks for the combos, I got aerial slash but I need to replace the weapon I got for a katana to attack faster. I was leveling up upper slash to 10, (at 7 right now) instead of 5, to help my juggles. Also I see some vids and see some non-berserkers have gore cross. Is it a viable poke or to help juggles because I see it use in more than on situation.
edit:wave wheel slasher I might leave at one. I know that you can pick them up at the end of a combo when they almost hit the ground (with cancel) but I good is that compared to another combo ender?
Have Fun!
