Soo i just wanna get sum oppinions about SK cubics. are they really that great? i mean do they help enough where u can see a difference or is it just barely? is there anything i can do to boost the attack or power or whatever they use to make them stronger? I'm trying to decide whether to go BD or SK and this has a very big influence on my choice. Thanks. :)
i dont have a SK, but my light elf's cubics eat all thier crystals right away, and only last about 15minutes... i would imagine it works the same :P
ok. BUT are they any good? do they help a whole lot? i basically want my first question answered. lol.
The do indeed. I have a 62 SK in my clan, we've partied together many times. Cubics work nice, just don't flag when you have them up, they have a habit of going off on one hit sometimes. He whacked one night to wake me up from sleep, debuff cubic went off and killed my patk for quit a while!
Depends on what you need. As a PS you and i share one cubic. It's immensely helpful for soloing and your other cubics are useful for raiding but i don't imagine that for non solo stuff you'd get much use out of them.

No no...His cubic attacked me when he hit me to wake me up. It was the debuff cubic (phantom I think) and it landed the patk debuff on me.
Was funny really!
:D
you'll love your cubies....in pvp they are awesome...
i almost lost to an SK (77) when all he had on was a shield and a chrono weapon(1patk)....his cubies just killed me, i was down to 1/3 hp, those things are crazy

haha awesome!!! :) what about soloing? they are really good right?
soo if using my phantom cubic i shouldn't use power break or hex, because my cubic will cover me, but if soloing w/o them i should use both of my cubics. EX. soloing with just my vampire cubic? vampire cubic any good?
PS:sorry so many question i wanna get a strategy beforei hit 40.
Well the thing about the cubics is that they are somewhat random. In regards to the phantom it randomly chooses one of three debuffs when it fires and they dont' work 100%. So if hex or powerbreak lands pretty well go ahead and use it. I use windshackle to initiate fights because my landrate is better than the cubic and windshackle is fantastic. Sure that means sometimes i waste the cubic's debuff but it's worth it.
Also SK is a good class, moderate soloability and good grouping as far as a tank goes. BD is cool but i know on Lionna BD's are a common class and a very popular sub.

yeah. they r one of the most commonly played class. we have like 3 in clan. and no SK's. We do have a TK that would be fun to team up with lol. we'd be the only elf knights in clan. :p
SK Cubics can be extremely deadly, especially at higher levels. Care must be taken when using them, however, as they can hurt people in your party, for instance waking someone up by hitting them.
Higher your level, the more often they strike, and with much more power as well.
Phantom cubic: This cubic lands debuffs on target. It can debuff Patk, Pdef, and Attack speed. In addition, I believe that it actually reduces Mdef, not pdef, as I have been in arena with my brother and he was like, how did you land an Mdef debuff on me.
Vampiric cubic: This cubic acts as the spell Life Leech. It attacks your target and heals you at the same time.
Poison Cubic: Just like it's name, this cubic asdds poison to your target.
I almost always use my Phantom and Vampiric cubics when fighting mobs. I generally only use my Poison cubic against mobs with 3x HP or greater, as you will kill lower HP mobs much too fast for poison to really affect outcome of battle.
Cubics use your INT to determine whether they hit or not. Higher INT equals more power, and thus more damage and better landing rate. You will land the cubics most often when you are above 66% HP, and it goes down a little bit as your HP goes down, but I have not noticed much decrease in the attacks.
The debuffs last quite a while, in most PvP cases, you will either kill your opponent or you will be dead before they wear off. Exceptions being high HP classes like DA, Destroyer, and dwarves. I have had the luck of having my Vampiric Cubic crit once. It seems to be very rare that it does, but it one hit a 1x HP mob in Dragon Valley, much to my surprise.
