Kamael Yul Trickster lack of damage?

Yul Archer Started Last reply 6 posts
Hi, i'm currently playing with Yul trickster, i'm lvl 96, i've read on forums how archers OP, how they hit hard and so on, but somehow i dont feel like that..
Atm my equips are +5 seraph set attack type, hero crossbow (planning to get specter +7/8 when hero weapon expires)
When im running k95 or RB i often ask on TeamSpeak what damage my guildies do with regular +3/4 r95 weapons and it seems that they do almost the same damage..
Atm with my setup and buffed up i have nearly 23k p.atack, one guildie Yul saggitarius also using hero weapon has 40k p.atack (he has slightly better equips) but that doesnt make sense why he has 17k more p.atack, i would understand 7-8k higher, but not 17...
Could any experienced trickster point me out on items which are must have (talismans etc..) what i should have, what i should buy and so on..
I understand that most expensive items are allways the best, but lets say i have budget of 4b to spend and make my p.atack higher, where should i invest mostly for highest gain of dps?
I'm only interrested in PVE, maybe i should change my class? And if so, what you recommend changing to? Thanks in advance for your time reading this and response :)
Dyes.. get lv. 5 Giant Str Dye 30 pieces and equip it... :D
4b will be enough.. buy them at 80 to 100kk each piece
minor thing, but, you said 'attack type'

thing is, attack and defence types are heavy, not light.

light is enchanter (str) and assassin (dex).

if you are by some reason wearing heavy, that might be your issue.

on side note, crossbow does have less p.atak (but more atk speed) then bow, trickster however have +% bonus to pvp, so if pve is your only thing and you are not interested in pvp at all and never will be, you should probably change to other archer and grab a bow

Thanks for advice.
Now another question, which is actually better for PVE? for most dps trickster/saggi/ghost? I'm thinking to change if that actually makes me do much more DPS.
Another question, i got kelbim fragment, should i make kelbim bow/crossbow and keep it to myself or maybe i should target r99 weapon and if so what would you recommend in range ~12b.

EDIT: Also quick question, i have enough hero coins to get hero weapons for another 3 months, but are they better than kelbim for pve? Im confused about what to do, get kelbim and keep it, trade it for +++ R99 bow or stay with hero weapons for another 3 months..

Grab a kelbim crossbow.
With your adena, grab lv. 5 giant STR as he said.
Grab a PVE attack belt (you will hit lv. 99 fast, so just buy it in advance).
Grab AQ Soul ring + Oct. ring warrior.
Grab frintezza soul necklace, and istina earring (normal, not warrior or wizard)

Assuming you have 12b adena at your disposal currently, that should set you back ~12b.

Your seraph set is fine for now, upgrade it later when you get more adena.
(Although add 3x120 ele if you dont have it already)


And just to further explain your sucky damage, hero weapons have NO ATTRIBUTE, this makes your attacks VERY WEAK compared to an attributed weapon.

*Elsyium bow in that topic was an old event - but the attribute system thingy is always in effect.
Grab a kelbim crossbow.


Thanks for answer, i'll do as you say and will try to get everything that you mentioned :)
