Hi every, I've recently became awakened as a tank (SK) and had a few questions about which unawakened skills to keep. I've replaced most of them however I'm not certain if I should replace 'judgment' with 'last judgment'.
Judgment provides a nice 35% crit dmg debuff which would really help against daggers/yuls while last judgement only has a -70 speed slow. The dmg on last judgment, however, is much better. Is it worth the replacement?
Same question about replacing 'shield deflect magic' with 'spike shield'.
I dont remember how much % the "shield deflect magic" reflects back on the attacker, spike shield has a fixed rate of 20% damage reflection and a 50% CHANCE of reflecting magic back to the attacker. As for the judgement skills, i would rather go for the awakening one.
Old Judgment skill wont land on any awakened character probably, so i would change (well i did change it) About reflect magic and spike shield well. The first one is only good when u fight mages, the second is more universal type of skill as against fighters and as against mages.
Starting with the most basic thing which is damage:
- At character level 74 you get the maximum level of Judgement (lvl10):
Inflicts dark damage on the enemy with 2104 Power added to P. Atk. and greatly provokes the enemy. For 30 sec., decreases Critical Damage by 35% and Melee Weapon Resistance by 20. Requires a sword, blunt weapon, or dualsword. Over-hit and Critical are possible.
- Right when awakened (character level 85) Last Judgment:
Attacks the selected target with 13673 Power added to P. Atk, and Speed - 70. Can be used while a sword/blunt weapon is equipped. Over-hit. Critical.
About Shield Deflect Magic the description says:
For 8 seconds, transfers magical damage back to the enemy caster.
but while someone may assume that it can reflect the whole of magic damage back to the caster (or a big portion of it) my personal tests have shown that it has little chances to activate and when it does it only reflects a small portion of the damage back to the attacker.
So in both your questions I 'd say definetely go with the new skills.
