ThePerfectHit Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Honestly, the only crit breaker I see that actually still breaks is Ohki. If you're looking for something cheaper I'd go with slotted icepick 100%, and you could just use scarf as your lower. Since crit breakers need to use ifrits on their lokis to put more stat points into vit. With icepick build you wouldn't need luk and be able to more easily survive. Have no reasoning to support this other than cost and the ones below because I dont crit break, but I don't ice pick break either since I can afford the more expensive gear. Pros Using Icepick - Double attack (basically hit twice) - More damage based on vit defense (Emperium has high vit defense) - Cheaper - Less Gear Needed - More HP Cons - Critical attacks do crappy damage (If you're unlucky and you crit as your last hit before emperium breaks you wont get the break) - Only 1 slot (Less damage % cards) - Damage ranges (Could do 32k one hit and 29k the next) <- using random example of numbers not actual tested numbers Pros Using Crit build (assuming you get the ring+lokis+l.crit/l.fenrir or original versions of the item) - More card slots = more damage - Consistent damage Cons - More Expensive - No double attack - Less HP There are probably more pros than I listed to crit breaking but I can't think of any more at this moment.

Angelooo Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 How about me? Hahaha. Joke. I'm not yet trying using ice pick breaker. When I use crit I break 2-3 times during American and 1 time during 1 castle woe. Quote
ThePerfectHit Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I updated my post, sorry shouldn't of posted without being thorough. Quote
Angelooo Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 Can you rate the chance of breaking the emp from ice pick with cursed ring and leg weap and crit breaker with blessed ring and leg weap only. 10 is the highest in rating. Quote
ThePerfectHit Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Couldn't do that, have no experience breaking with icepick or crit since 2010. Quote
Royals™ Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Crit breaking, the goodtimes :D Edited June 14, 2014 by Royals™ Quote
kennethrules27 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 How about Stats? Stats of SinX Crit and Dagger type.. Quote
jameslamela Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 Ill go for crit breaker. Cheap and easy to build. And can break even with shield, unlike dagger/ip that you need to go dual and have devo for you to break. Quote
Rayray Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 Crit build can defend himself, seeing as his damage is consistent even against players without changing much. Users of ice pick cannot defend themselves too well, so they are focused more on breaking. Trying both to see which feels natural for you is the best answer I guess, because both works decently enough. Quote
ChainBreak Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 From experience crit is preferable over slotted icepick. The additional card slots add more dmg if you use them correctly. Quote
Monaco96 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 my guild member just using legendary crit stuff and yea he can break ...imnot sure about Ice pick ... Quote
plok123 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Well basically, if you don't have thana, Just go for crit built breaker. I personally think that crit is way better that ice pick, yeah you get the thana effect but you have way less damage optimizer towards the emp compared to the 4 slot crit swords. And Ice pick only gives much really, you have to spend stats on str and dex, which would give you less hp compared to when using the legendary or donate swords for sinx that gives bonus stats for the class. I started as a crit breaker til i could afford a thanatos card, I tell you, ice pick just ruins the balance of your stats, it's just a pain trying to adjust around it when you have an easier option. Yeah it could work for low rate servers but not in this server, you would just be out damaged by any other breaker. unless you have all the luck in the world, then it could work. Full build crit breaker vs. Full built Thana breaker = Thana has the advantage on last hitting due to the double attack, but full geared crit breakers have a huge hp pool and a descent damage output. difference between the two is that let's say the crit breaker deal 36k damage to the emp, it just stays like that. let's say the thana breaker does 23k damage to the emp, there's a 50% chance of it raising to double. Both breakers a re still very viable in the server, but IN MY OWN OPINION and experience, ice pick is just a no no, even if it's slotted. Quote
