Im currently 85 and soloing in the swamps. I was wondering what the best cry is for doing damage. Im sure different cries are better in certain situations i.e. solo/group play.
What is the best cry to use for soloing in swamps? Ive been using Ogre and had good success with it then I tried Hawk and the crits+crit dmg really helped speed up kills.
Eventho Ogre gives you a nice boost to pdef/mdef, you will eventually get hurt more due not fast enough kills of the mobs, some of those swamp mobs have some nasty skills, which you want to kill as fast as possible.
I recommend, either Hawk or Rabbit, or even Puma as it decreases the incoming crit dmg.
If you use alot of skills, Bear or Rabbit might be the better choice.
I found solo in swamps to be most effective with hawk. Good crit rate makes your dps high. All depends on which mobs you kill, your buffs etc.. (my buffs are always milk buffs + self. With fullbuff I would go for bear).
u can shot 1 aoe skill withrange , stun with eruption , and spam armor destruction
all it with rabbit (so just for run faster , but think somthing for increse the p atak is beter )
sometimes speed is more useful than brute strenght ;) (rabbit gives +30% atk spd aswell)
but better is to follow this advice:
I think all depends on buffs, gear etc. Everyone should try on his own. :)
I use Rabbit in swamp just for run speed, on mobs just spam Armour Destruction until it's 10 and then use Mega Strike. I'll use Power Bomber on a high pdef mob like those dogs.
In something like Nursery instance use Ogre for the P.def and P.atk on skill damage, if you have Immortal gear you can pull off kiting with Rabbit and AoE. In AoE groups I usually stick to Rabbit too just because I think the extra autoattacks (pole) you get off in between skills with the atk speed is best.
In PvP I use Ogre, or Rabbit if I have to chase someone.
I use mostly ogre/hawk totem when i engage group of mobs, when i turn into berserker rage change to bear totem so far it worked best 30% p.atk/crit damage and with iss enchanter buffs crit rate is good enough.
For pvp ogre to survive longer and make top damage from skills, rabbit when need to gather/catch.
Didnt used puma totem so far, guess that should be good enough vs daggers if their skills are still blow type depending on crit damage(not sure).
I use Ogre in party/raid regardless of situation, if something targets me I've got about another 5K more health then usual with Iss buffs, plus the additional PDef and MDef.
For pvp I'd probably use a combination of Cry's based on the situation, Rabbit would obviously happen after I've exhausted both of my Rush skills, but for toe to toe I'd pop puma to reduce crit dmg by 40%, also increasing my accuracy (incase I get debuffed with an accuracy inhibitor) and also the 20% attack speed is nice as well.
Bear is a nice alternative if you are using a weapon with higher crit, probably a good choice for PVE and raid bosses n such
Hawk is something you could use if your crit feels lackluster from using a blunt or fist weapon, you could use it to boost your crit up.
Most other weapons will have a decent amount of crit with ISS buffs anyway, you probably wouldn't need to use Hawk unless you were using a blunt/fist weapon.
On full buffs the reduction in stab damage is higher in ogre than puma for daggers. Puma also isn't going to help you vs non crit based skills. There is honestly no reason to use anything other than ogre in pvp. Ever.
Tyrant in DV? not efficient.
there are better areas where you could xp faster.
typically hawk, and rabbit were usually good for solo.
Ogre is good for pvp, fighting mages.
ogre is also good if you have to tank damage.
and with the nice boost in p.attack, maybe your strong aoe pole skills would do more than enough damage to have faster kill rates for aoe.
I didn't take the Mdef/Pdef consideration of Ogre as seriously before, you're right Puma would only be good to negate daggers from landing skills therefore highly situational.
For a 76 tyrant I'd say go Wall of Argos if you have good buffs. Fight the Homunculus and angels and well.. anything there really. If you have a mentor your exp should be between 200k-500k (based on overhit) for anything you kill there (except the floating eyes that look like the cruma eyes they'll be about 150k)
Don't fight the lower level bandersnatchs and antelopes n such though, waste of time.
if you want quick consistant xp, you may want to look into den of evil (might be a little high for you yet) and or Hot Springs is good too. Some stun resist before goign there.
::EDIT:: So I guess then for best TWO cry's since each are better based on buffs n such
Solo no buffs best cry = Rabbit
Solo with buffs best cry = Ogre (Rabbit if you like to run faster)
Party (obviously going to ahve buffs) = Ogre (survivability is best bro)
Pvp Solo = Ogre (extra 10% health plus iss buffs at 85 go from 15k health to 20+k health)
PVP Group = Ogre (same as above ++ hard to kill)
about ogre totem i m no sure , ok it help us to survivability...but are we in the grup for just stay alive? we are in a grup for make damage
i know warriors may die , but what is the point if they dont focus in make damage just for stay alive? i prefer hawk for pve party, and rabbit for solo
for pve hawk > rabbit ... unless u rly need that move speed
not to mention when u have rings for cryt. dmg.
We are talkin bout bare back no Boss Jewels.
Depends what you have for an SA too, in most cases you're boxing an ISS in which case you should be using Ogre.
When solo with blessing buffs I find Rabbit to be the best.
Hawk is something I'd use (if i ever used it) when a Raid Boss has really high evasion or if I was using Blunts/Fists to boost their otherwise crappy crit rate.
Have 1 question for u guys...
In future i'm planing to dualclas Tyr but i wondering if cry(f.egz Orge) stacks with kamael skill furious soul :) Because as i saw it can changed with brave spear/ hawk cry... but i would like to keep it.
