Keen Sense or Shooting Spree?

DevilEast · 15 Jan 2008

Hi, I'm a 3142 Lion and I was wondering which one to pick: Shooting Spree or Keen Sense? I was going towards Keen Sense until I read that it only works with normal gun shots, not Power Shot and stuff. Plus I sorta want a mob skill =.=

Please give me a detailed explanation about Keen Sense!

not true at all, keen sense is amazing if you know how to time crit well. Get your facts straight plox >:O

but get shooting spree first to lvl up faster

keen sense is good but for later when ur lion has tons of tm points to spare

Shooting Spree. It shouldnt even be a CHOICE.

Considering the thread starter wants a mob skill, Keen is TOTALLY worthless here. How often do you actually stop to time crits on a monster while you train? More than likely, not often, unless youre just there to bs (Like I sometimes go to Tap1 to landmine Red Salamanders just for the hell of it >_>)

Seriously, I regret ever getting Keen, I want that shit out of my skill list ._.

I know how you feel Blood. I want my pure lion out of existance, thankfully that'll be happening soon!

Actually, keen sense could be useful. Kinda. Maybe. I recall a sort of technique that involved de-equipping and re-equipping your gun, and if you time it correctly, the shot would be a crit. And if you can repeat it at a very fast rate, it could work...sorta. Ish, I dunno, it requires a lot of practice to pull it off. Heck, I don't even know how to make the 1st shot a crit, I did it once by accident, and that's all, I could never figure out how to replicate it.

But meh. I dislike both skills rofl. Spree can get a lion killed if he doesn't OHKO everything he hits (mostly for a 4141, but yeah). I mean, for a guy who can't use a shield, mobbing isn't exactly a safe thing to do ._. And keen sense is pretty much useless if you don't learn how to utilize that technique =x

Shooting Spree FTW .__.

Shooting spree > keen sense....gun reload time isn't that fast either.

Keen sense fails unless you mastered time crits and can do it at will and not by accident ._.

DevilEast · 15 Jan 2008

I see. I will definately go with Shooting Spree then o.o. Thanks everyone.

Not really an ideal technique to use while training.

@DemonSpree, my lion is hybrid. But I got Keen not long after it came out. Its total crap, I have much more useful things Id rather have my tm spent on, like Gas Mask ._.

riyokku · 15 Jan 2008

Yeah, it's really more of a PVP technique that I can't do. Which is why I never bothered with keen sense =x

BloodVeil · 15 Jan 2008

Like I said, I got it not long after it came out :/ There was really nothing else to spend my tm on at the time. Its lv8 >_< God I need that tm lol

I made the mistake of waisting my points on Keen Sense, also.
Good thing I had to Myshop points to get that crap out of my list.
To OP, just get Shooting Spree, and don't look back.

It really depends on how well you time crit. I was training with a booster at tech 4, if you can keen sense + time crit a monster in one shot its pretty good. Its consistent too, you shoot, wait and then crit, then you carry on that crit to another monster. Really, its good if theres a chain of monster. I do advice getting shooting spree first.

BloodVeil · 15 Jan 2008

The majority of lions that train at tech4 dont need it ._. Its just not a real practical skill to use in the midst of training. Some people may find it useful, but overall, its just a skill to get when you have nothing else to get.

Before double shot came out, I alternated power shot with keen sensed timed criticals to grind at tech1 (that oughta teach those dark dragons for hell firing our kilmanjaros!)
But now it's a different story, the only use for keen sense is bolstering timed criticals which never miss.
