| Is Blazing Strike really worth the TM juice you give it? Well Cujo as we discussed earlier about Shinobi Combo (Blazing Strike) I'm still testing it. I managed to get a few screenies and I'll show them to ya later when you xfire me, anyways I went out to do some test runs to compare between Burning Rave, Piercing Wave, and Blazing Strike.
I have Blazing Strike mastered and so far the results seem that Blazing Strike is actually a small AoE skill that can attack up to 5 enemies. So far I haven't managed to catch 5 targets only upt to 3 so far since the AoE is so small.
I'm guessing the amount of hit's really are based upon your DX since that's what it says in the description and so far the Max hit's ive been able to do were 4 with my DX katana. So it seems you need helluva ton of DX to actually make a difference in the amount of hits you do. Also, the amount of hits seem to be based upon random as well. Not only does Blazing Strike deal disappointing damage but it seems that getting more DX only increases your chances of getting more hits, so you still have that chance of doing 1 - # hits since my test on a slime starfish dealt 4 hits on one slime and 1 hits on the slime next to it.
I've tested this on other targets as well, so far my average hit rate is 2-3, sometimes 1 hit and the amount of targets u do it on doesn't divide the hits, it is seemingly based upon chance. I target a pack of arachne's and I deal 3 hits on 3 Arachne's doing 5124 damage on all 3 of them. However I've also done 3 hits and 2 hits on others before. When you deal one hit it's just about the same as doing a normal attack damage or when you do 2 hits it's SLIGHTLY stronger than a burning rave.
Example of my test on arachne's.
Blazing Strike 2 Hits combo+Pumping heart = 3.8k dmg
Burning Rave 1 attack + Pumping heart = 3.6k dmg
Piercing Wave 1 attack + Pumping heart = 10041 dmg
I may be wrong but Blazing Strike seems a bit complicated as I've just tested right now, I've used it on 2 seperate Arachne's again, both doing 3 hit Combos, However the damage is different between them. I had Pumping Heart, Aura of Haste, and Hyper Beat on at the time. All 3 were active during this test and none of them wore off.
Test 1. Blazing Strike 3 hit combo dealt 6272 dmg to one arachne
Test 2. Blazing Strike 3 hit combo dealt 7420 dmg to one arachne
But I'm still confused, is Blazing Strike's damage isnt as true as it's description says? 324% damage? That's all it says, does it deal that much per hit? It doesn't seem that way when the damage obviously isnt that good.
If it really is supposed to deal that much, then shouldn't it be like my burning rave comparison?
If Burning Rave deals 3.6k dmg in one attack and at mastered Burning Rave is 310% as it says on it's description then shouldnt a 1 hit combo with Blazing Strike deal more than 3.6k damage if it's supposed to deal 324%? because 2 hit combo with Blazing Strike is slightly more than a Burning Rave, how is that possible? Shouldnt a 2 hit combo deal more than 7.2k damage if it's 324% per hit?
Prepare to get a TON of DX if you're looking forward to a bunch of hits.
Please correct me if I am wrong because I wish I am wrong. Anyway's I'll do more studies upon Blazing Strike and even if I am wrong...
Is Blazing Strike really worth the TM that the recommended JTO skill guide gives? |
