'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'

no effects, random pool, i'd say "average" ham costs (probably around HS2 ?), i think 2.5x dmg but you'll have to check the multipliers in the status/faq thread.


u don't need to use it from cover, as the skill description suggests.


it works well as a decent dmg/random pool, single-target shot.


otherwise it's useless.


oh, and i hear that if you use it against a mob/npc the target won't agro you on the first shot. i've never tested this though.

A second or 2? Unless your a Master, that doesn't doesn't mattera whole lot, and even at Master is STILL doesn't mean a whole lot. lol

a 1-2 second immobilised target means EVERYTHING when you got a high ham melee up your ass
