Thread: No one's using Armor Break?

I'm a master Brawler/Master TK/Master Dancer(I roleplay heh). Anyway I've noticed alot of people complaining about the damage we do and the like. I don't do hardly any damage of course because my combat level is only 56, but I use the Armor Break + specials. This lets me solo stuff like none other. The text seems to still be messed up for it in the spam window but if I do a special before doing an armor break it doesn't take off much health, but it seems after an armor break I can destory stuff. In groups this has really been helpful since I group with the heavy damage blaster people and once I armor break they flood specials and usually the mob drops before it has a chance to fight back. I've just been reading the forum and noticed that no one is talking about armor break, and I really hope that everyone is using it, or at least trying it out. It's in the 2 handed line so you have to pick up at lead standard armor break to go up the TK tree now, and since all the Melee specials carry over into each profession its worth having in your bar, and if your a Master Swordsman I bet it works alot better and lasts longer.

If anyone else is using it, do you have any problems making it stick at all? I seem to miss with it sometimes but its not often enough a miss that I don't try to get it on before using regular attacks.

Dont have eny special tactics when using it.

But sometimes i need a couple to three tries to stick it. On highlevel mobs and with few teamates i need to "break" more often. But yeah its good thing, i deal more damage.

I use it all the time..



"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, 'How can we do this and not make another EQ?' We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class.So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change.If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen." - JULIO TORRES

Step 1: throw 'glow wire' trap at 35-40m(lowers both ranged and melee defence of critter)


Step 2:cob (after throwing trap I never have a problem with this sticking)


Step 3:by this time the critter will be in melee range 'armor break'


Step 4:melee strike and combo


step 5:if 'armor break' didn't stick do it again, if it did dizzy


step 6: repete step 4


step 7: about time to re-cob


rinse and repete

I try to use it all the time. I'd say I probably have about a 15-20% sucess rate with it though.

i have about 60% i would say. But thats just with my experience. I also have master pike so i have alot of extra accuracy. I find it does just as much damageas flurry and it lowers their armor soI think it is a good thing.

After doing some testing, still testing...

For now this seems to work well with low action/mind costs

I am not ingame and am too lazy to look up the new names

First I PB and buff myself. I also drink brandy and eat ahrisa from my old stock as it gives a slight edge.


COB

I have melee hit as my auto attack

Armor Break

Bleed

KD

Adv. Combo

I then just let the melee hit do it's job while my pools regen.

I reapply COB as needed and throw in the occasional melee strike or Adv. Combo.


I have used dizzy but don't see a real need for it as the KD seems to stick much more often then Pre CU. But this is straight PvE. Haven't tested this in a PvP fight yet.

yeah...when it sticks it is great..but sometimes it takes 3 tries and that drains the good old action pool.

when my Master swords partner uses it though oh yeah
