Does big booming still work?

Player Questions Started Last reply 13 posts
I heard someone saying that the old big booming trick still works, is this true and if so can someone please explain to me how to do it?
wrong. it doesnt work. it was nerfed to hell. maybe the only possible way to get it to work is to have a couple WS bigboom the same group
What did they do exactly to nerf it I heard it was the further it got from you the lower it's atk power goes is this right or is it different?
That is correct, plus any surviving mobs will not just stand there anymore and wonder who just boomed them, they will come running straight for the dwarf and attack him/her. So, previously you could boom them, then summon a new big boom and send that in and so on, but now you will get attacked after the first one. And that means you cannot pull big trains anymore (because you just will not survive it), you have to take only a few mobs at a time. I do not play a dwarf, but I would guess it simply is not worth it anymore because of these changes. It is slow and the summon costs quite a bit.
By "old big boom trick" u mean for powerleveling or exping?
Powerlvling most likely, and it still works. Big boom lvl 2 1 shots mobs at Tanor Canyon area with emp and shots, and with a skilled puller it can hit a load of mobs at a time. Thought it didnt hit more than 20 but it seems to hit alot more >.>

I'd prefer an ES tho, as the summons AoE didnt get nerfed in any aspect so it's much better at plvling now, especially with the added "move" command.

I meant for xping.
For exping the WS, not really >.>
NCsoft did a really good thing for the BigBoom imo.

They made it so legit players can lvl their ws without paying 15-20k per big boom.

They made it so farmers can still powerlvl their raid boss parties in a couple days to go farm more raid bosses.

Another A+ fix to help the legits.
Nah havent seen anything feasible so far.
right after the first boom, have the mobs aoe slept by a spellsinger or a sorcerer, then boom them again.

1 boom generates enough xp for 1 reasonably happy ws or 1 fairly unhappy ws and 1 really ****** off spellsinger

big booming is not feasable in c4, boom pulls less mobs, cost a hell of alot more and without a tank a healer and another nuker/ws you cant even kill the mobs without dumping all agro directly onto the ws

do not even waste the sp on the skill unless 1 hitting lvl 4 noobs in the arena after someone has slept them is what you want to use it for
Or powerlvling.
