Crit Sword

Anyone know how much you invest in luk while using the black oriental critical sword?

[killee07]

Depends on you. I was happy with my crit rate even without added LUK. Or you can add LUK just enough to have 100 crit rate. And I think LUK adds very minimal ATK. Also depends on your card combo on your sword. So, experiment with it. :3

Well, Killee has a point. 100 CRIT roughly translates to 100% Critical, but there are other factors to consider. This link is a good place for reference.

• +1 crit chance per 3 points of LUK.
• Each point of Critical increases your ability to cause a critical by 1%.
• Your Critical on the Status window is equal to 1 + [LUK/3] + Critical Increasing Cards where [] indicates you round the value inside down before continuing.
• Your true Critical value is equal to 1 + LUK*0.3 + Critical Increasing Cards.
• The full formula for Criticals at the time of a swing is equal to (1 + YourLUK*0.3 + Critical Increasing Cards)*CritModifier - TargetLUK/5.

This means that your opponent's LUK is also factored in, so if you want to ensure that you hit 100% CRIT on everyone on optimal, standard gear, let's use a Creator for reference, since it's Job Level Bonus for LUK is the highest (correct me if I'm wrong) at 11.

• Creator LUK Job Level Bonus = 11
• GVH LUK Bonus = 10+3
• Emperium Aurora LUK Bonus = 25
• Rucksack LUK Bonus = 10
• Full F.Set LUK Bonus = 10
• Total = 69
• CRIT Block = 69/5 = 13.8 ~ 13%

So your true CRIT value if you have 100 CRIT on an opponent with 69 total LUK is 100-13 = 87% only. You'd have to have 113 CRIT to hit that person with 100% Criticals.

If you want to save stats and just want to have 100% Critical on normally used classes, check out the Job Level Bonus of the most used classes, perhaps SinX, LK, Clown/Gypsy, Sniper, Stalker(?), here.

Just use 2 Silver shotels for easy perma crit! ^_^

[killee07]

So much info. I learned a lot there. Thanks. And 2 shotels are a lot cheaper you know. /ok

Silver Shotels are swords. Cant duel them.

[Cirrus]

Last time I used Shotels were 2 years ago, and you can dual wield them back then. So unless that changed, you can? The Oriental Sword can't be dual wielded to prevent SinXs from being too overpowered, but the rest shouldn't have changed... I haven't really checked. I'm pretty sure that was also a joke. -_- LOL.

You'd still get a ton more damage if you just balanced your left hand with a 4-slot anything. Nevermind Shotels. LOL.
