I'm a level 99 GS, and when I get around to buying my R99 bow I'm going to obviously put some soul crystals on it.
It seems that most archers learn Quick Fire at level 99+ because they end up having. max atk. speed, but I'm assuming that is with the +15% atk. speed SA from the new soul crystals.
Anyway, if anyone can suggest what they think the best route for SAs are that would be sweet.
I'm thinking +15% atk. speed +5% PvP dmg from Kain's soul crystal, and Kain's 5 P. Skill Crit dmg +10% PvP Dmg +5 %.
And maybe later with mystic +15% HP or +5% P.atk of course.
Can two soul crystals of the same type be added to one weapon? Any other suggestions that might be more beneficial?
Can apply same soul crystal different option..
Well best for gs is the fire/hunter..
Yet my gs is build for hunter/body/hp... 3sa..
Hmm..
So I've done some testing and currently using a hero weapon, so I'm getting +5% atk. speed from that.
I currently have 4% atk speed from sub skills and 9% from dual skills atm. If I remove rapid shot from my buff bar I end up under 1500 atk speed.
So thinking about it, if I took master's rage (therefore losing 6% from dual skills there) and without 15% atk. speed from a bow I wouldn't hit 1500 atk speed.
Any suggestions what I am missing to hit max attack speed and still gain some good skill crit dmg.

plz excuse my lack of knowledge but still dont understand...i searching on l2wiki also...what type of crystal you use and what type?
i saw kain-hunter, mermoden speed/hunter, leona critical/ fire, hunter, body, pantheon hp soul...dunno what to choose...
i kept also rapid fire/rapid shot and change dual from moonlight to gs, base race dark elf...
ty in advance...
My SA's are currently Fire / Critical Fire (bought the bow, did not chose them).
I'm planning to switch Critical Fire to Speed Fire -- but since I can change at the same time the other SA, I wanted to consider Might instead of Fire as well.
I've been trying to read up on pros/cons of pumped patk vs. skill criticals, and there are many contradictory posts about the damage system. Anyone worked out this kind of trade-off?
For Yul skill damage, p.atk does not scale very well compared to skill power or skill crit dmg. You can test this easily by comparing skill damage with and without BR. I haven't personally tested this recently but I remember reading that x2 p.atk results in about 25% increase in skill damage.

this is not entirely true that patak does not matter. Patak is added to skill power. (if BR adds 25-30% dmg fits perfect).. The dmg increase from patak increase depends on skills you use.. Lets check...
Low geared yull having patak cca 32k and we are checking additional 10% patak bonus effect while your most used skills have power 32k (aoe), 41k impact and 56k pinpoint
((32000*1.1)+32000)/(32000+32000)-1= 5% dmg boost from 10% patak increase
((32000*1.1)+41000)/(32000+41000)-1 = 4.38% dmg boost from 10% patak increase
((32000*1.1)+56000)/(32000+56000)-1 = 3.64 dmg boost from 10% patak increase
Well geared yull having patak cca 75k and we are checking additional 10% patak bonus effect while your most used skills have power 32k (aoe), 41k impact and 56k pinpoint
((75000*1.1)+32000)/(75000+32000)-1= 7.01% dmg boost from 10% patak increase
((75000*1.1)+41000)/(75000+41000)-1 = 6.47% dmg boost from 10% patak increase
((75000*1.1)+56000)/(75000+56000)-1 = 5.73 dmg boost from 10% patak increase
(having skills enchanted on power changes the % as you have to add the skill power adjusted based on enchant level +6.4% power also having insanity or tauti ring what adds skill power also changes the game)
Getting 130+ STR, +16 weapon, B valakas to get 60k+.. Stacking Patak is worth for yull as with 60k patak only Pinpoint shot and phoenix arrow moves the trigger on the skill power side whole most aoe skills and stun/knockback skills usage benefits from high patak.
anyway i am not saying to use +patak augument/SA. I am just saying that building patak is worth using balanced STR/DEX and other items which gives patak bonuses

I never said p.atk does not matter. I simply said it doesn't stack well for yul skill damage compared to other stats.
I used to play sagi for a few years before switching to GS, and from my experience, even when skill power = p.atk, it is not as beneficial to raise p.atk as skill power.
