Yul Pinpoint usless half kill

General Discussion Started Last reply 15 posts
Hi everybody, i am here 2day to point out one little glitch in the l2 system to say so.
I am curently playing a Yul Ghost Sentinel and i have a friend who has a Tyr Duelist, both of us decided to test our chars in pvp both equiped with r95 gear i am a bit better equiped then him keep that in mind some epics(i'll get back to them) armour +6 his is +3, my wep is 300 his 150.
Ok after a few fights and knowing my char i noticed some things not going as i thaught they should. The most annoying one was that pinpoint shoot has a probability for half kill, but if my friend tyr duelist has CP up even 1 cp, my half kill will land on that 1 CP. Let me explain this in more detail for those slower, let's say i start fighting with my firend the tyr i get his CP down i start hiting in the HP if i land a half kill it will not go in the HP bocouse Ncsoft gave my friends tyr such a good regen CP that by the time i cast my pinpoint after any other DMG skill my friend will have about 40 CP regenerated and the half kill althwo in my system bar says 6223 and then half kill it will actualy do the poposite first do the half kill on that 40 CP then the 6223 DMG on the HP. I have tryed this in every scenario with Sniper Stance Quick fire on so that the skill cast is higher i bursted 3 skills on him repetedly pinpoint being the last one, with these on trying to get that half kill to go into the HP, after one 1 hour i gave up(10nQ Ncsoft).
Another thing i noticed talking about the epic jewels, we all know the Ant queen and Baium rings are epics for archer, well.... not so much anymore on this GOD. Archers are now almost like nukers every skill has pattack added to the curend pattack u have, there fore u do more dmg with the skill and is consistent(u might get a crit on skill then the dmg is even greater) then by using auto attacks(saying this from the perspective of a player with a +4 weapon, dunno how the dps scales from the base dmg onto the skill with a +16 wepon) where even with a 500 crit chance u get about 3 crits on a 5 hits and the CRITS are lower on DMG then the skills DMG. Now the epics come into play, i tested this the AQ and Baium say they give Crit Power, and it seems this Power dose not ad up to the Skills Crits (tested for about 1 hour on my mate crit on skill with epics on same as crit on skill without epics on) QED LOL NCSOFT.
Only scenario where the AQ and Baium com in handy when ur ISS uses Battle Rapsody and u as Yul are smart enough to activate Mind's Eye and do JUST AUTO ATTACKS and Bullz Eye.
One more funny story 1 v 1 with my mate Tyr Duelist I KILL MYSELF he got this Item Skill reflect lvl 3, now he has 70k hp and cp all together, i have about 37 both full buffed, if he lets me kill him i end up with about 8k hp left after all the reflect i get back from my DMG, so that leaves him the chance to hit me 2 times in about 35 seconds, very nice pvp...
Cant w8 to see what you guys think on the unbalanced game we curently playing and corect me where i am wrong, see you next time!!!

You are just bad IMO.

QED Your post.
This thread delivers lol
Yul doesn't bypass CP to half kill HP. That's why you hit the remaining CP of the opponent.
Cry moar meng. Yul already OP. And the land rate of Pinpoint shot is the only thing that isn't broken.

but half kill rate of pinpoint shot is only 33% that sucks imo it should be 100%
Pinpoint should be an aura that does 1200 range 100% lethal.

The effects of cry post can be felt.
help with CP regeneration by using damage over time skills.
that way your half kill should go straight to the hp.

otherwise... that is pretty BS right there.
as for the rest...
most 95 archers do pretty high damage.
most will take out a tyrr pretty quick.

you should get with some archers and discuss your setups.
maybe learn a thing or two.

dont exaggerate 100% auto lethals with 1100 aoe range are enough!
I Lolled.. and I'm a Yul!
First, sry about the spelling not my first language, if Half Kill mechanics was intended to just take down the cp of the enemy in pvp is the name of the skill missleading then?
from my point of view lethatl kill leaves u with 1 hp, half kill leaves u with half HP(or is it 0 CP)
further research into the half kill skill i realised that on the char half killed says in system "Your CP was drained because you were hit with Half-Hill skill."
and so my thread is LOL :) seems i must hit the books harder on what means playing a yul :D
yes, it was some time ago when they changed the mechanic of half kill.
Thank God, Orcs in Gainak dont have cp.

tyrr r95 gear full buff lvl 2 with knight has over 8k pdef... yul full atr r95 wep has 1.5 smghing pattack i do 9k crits on pinpoint on a tyr that has health on wep and over 70 k hp+cp(and can recharge hp-around40k fully) so no my friend the tyrrs that drop pretty quick to yuls are either noobs, either low lvls/gears...
