sader - woe shield booming weapon

[Silbear]

im just wondering what you guys think are best for shield boom in woe. yes i know shield boom isnt all i should be doing, but i do do it after all my sacs are up and when there isnt anybody to sac. i magnum too but this question is for shield boom

again, this is for a weapon i use for shield boom, i use different weaps for defending/rushing/blabla. currently i just use a quad curse, but what else do you guys think?

[Dirtycan]

I Like breakers, but you can make a variety of weapons from the cursed to sleep to stun.

[Silbear]

i usually try to borrow a breaker for woe since i cant afford my own lol :[

i usually just bring curse since i get confused with which pike i have on. it is kinda fun to sleep something chasing you or running from something though...

might as well check on peoples posts on their preference tomorrow though, thanks for the input

[Quad]

- Mailbreaker
- Quad stun mace
- Quad drowsy mace
- Quad curse mace

CURSE OR NOTHING! lol

[Silbear]

well it seems theres a consensus about the things i should be using, at least ive been using curse which is on most lists. itd be nice to experiment with a breaker though sometime

thanks for the advice, i think im good for now

[CrimsonBlitz]

well... If you have Shield Boom 5, and Soul Link. Go for a 3:1 damage weapon! Even with the WoE damage nerf a linked shield boom hurts a lot more than bashing someone.

Also, I agree wholeheartedly with the others, breakers and stat weapons go together with shield boom. LK's can't do ranged gear breaking :gg:

[Silbear]

well i only want to do statusing stuff since i have like 40 str, but since my shield boom rarely misses, i can status thingies!

also, if something misses due to the damage<def of the target, i still inflict the status right? since i remember poking joe's champ, missing, and still cursing him

[Tam]

Yup statuses go through pnemua as well

[Shadow Lotus]

If you're reffering to using a status weapon through KE or pneuma, it does work, statuses don't ignore flee though (I don't know why some people think this). Personally I enjoy using cursing daggers and breakers.

If you were to use the damage aspect of shield boom though, if you wanted to be REALLY stupid in a precast:

-Get shield boom maxed
-get high str
-get linked
-get in strings
-use archer set on your sader
-use a +8/9 stone buckler with a tamruan card

very high damage booms right there. :D

[Silbear]

again i have like 40 str and im dumb enough OUTSIDE of precasts =[ but i know what youre trying to say

and yeah i know statuses require a "hit" to proc, and missing is... well... not a hit. but it did curse my target when it showed "miss" that isnt flee/hit based "miss"

thanks though lol D: also does anybody know what breaker chances are anyways? ive never bothered to ask

[Trizone]

I think I'd probably go with weapons that inflict something that cant be cured with the click of a button. Hence my candidates would be stun, sleep, mailbreaker and swordbreaker.

[Dirtycan]

Would the breakers effect go through KE or pneuma like status effects?

[Ichigo]

- Mailbreaker
- Swordbreaker
- Quad stun mace
- Quad curse mace
- Quad chaos mace (Reqiuem Cards)
- Quad drowsy mace


Fixed. Priority to chaos mace for obvious reasons -> Rather have the enemy walk in different directions (possibly under a precast) than a status effect that is simply disabled by another hit. Could also change the maces to knives if you're concerned about weight efficiency (i.e. carry a few more pots).

[Silbear]

problem with chaos is it wears off once you get hit doesnt it? i mainly like curse because most jobs cant cure themselves of it and it shows up if they hide. and its kind of annoying to walk around all slow

Drowsy is really good for emp breakers, if you're the only person by an emp. Buys time for killers to arrive (not people you can just out pot). If you're saccing, chances are you're around people so you don't have to try to immobilize renegades to buy time..and they'll be knocked out of sleep soon by magic spells.
